peal.

American flags flown at the
Capitol - especially those tat
tered and torn by the wind-are
in great demand by individuals
and groups in all parts Of the
country.
| Formerly the worn-out en-
blems were burned. since it was
considered dissertation to dis
card them as trash.
But years ago a patriotic citi-
zen. whose name is not recorded,
asked for a few of the tattered
pieces of red, white and blue
bunting. They were given to
him, according to David Lynn.
Architect of the Capitol. The
word got around, demand for
them grew. and before long there
were more requests for old flags
than could be satisfied from the
supply available. So no more
are burned.
Two Types Used.
Two different kinds of flags
now are available. The ones
which fly day and night from
the east and west fronts of the
Capitol Building are used until
they become broken to the point
where they must be replaced by
new ones.
These are the ones most in de-
mand. Mr.. Lynn explained. There
Is q long waiting list for them.
Only about a dozen of such en-
blems each year actually are
used in 24-hour-a-day service
at the Capitol. When ready for
distribution they are given to
those at the top of the long list.
But there is another kind of
flag available after it is flown
from pole on top of the Capt.
tol portico on the east front Of
the building.
The buntings used on all Hill
buildings are purchased by the
Clerk of the House for the House
Stationery Room. The contract
for their manufacture now is
with a firm in Pennsylvania,
which supplies all needs.
House Members Purchase.
From this supply. flags, in
special box are available for
purchase by members Of the
House only-not by the Sena-
tors. The House member may
buy a flag he wants to present
to some organization or to a
friend. He pays for it. The
flag is turned oyer to Mr.. Lynn
and it is run up the pole over
the east portico, where it flies
briefly against the historic back
drop of the dome Of the big
white structure. 1t is then
hauled down, turned over to
Mr.. Lynn, who writes a certifi-
cate testifying it has been flown
over the Capitol. This certifl-

report says. "A case in point
is q comparison that was re-
Gently made Of sections Of Routes
! and $50.
Route 1 is q four-lane undi-
vided highway with unlimited
access. Route $50, the Shirley
highway, is, on the other hand.

ties in Virginia--a four-lane di-
vided road with limited access.
Both are travelled by about
the same number Of vehicles a
day. Route $50 carrying 10.712
and Route / carrying 10.267."
After reciting the accident
figures. the report says: "The
lesson is plain--a reiteration of
the old slogan, We pay for good
roads whether we have them or
not A backlog Of highway
needs is not only an economic
waste, but . killer as certain

usually from his home state, to
buy the flag for him. And the
same procedure is followed.
Many Flags Flown.
Hundreds of these souvenirs
go through his hands every year,
Mr.. Lynn estimates. Some days
10 or Is flags are hoisted to the
top OF the pole and down before
being sent on their way.
During special occasions. such
as an inauguration, or state
funeral service. the flags usually
go to some official. or to the
family concerned.
Round the clock flying Of the
American emblem takes place at
Capitol Hill only at the east
and west fronts Of the Capitol
building. On top of both House
and Senate chambers flags are
flown when these bodies are. in
session, and are lowered when
they adjourn. In the case of the
Senate, which usually recesses
at the end of a days session, the
flag flies continuously until there
is an adjournment.
On all other Hill buildings the
flags are lowered each sundown.
Deaths of all members of Con-
gress and other high Federal
officials are observed by lower
ing the flags to half-staff for
certain periods.

Revenue 10 Fall Short
0fvirginia Road Need
Until IS, Report Says
By Alex R. Preston

Although Virginia will take in
81. .030 100000 for roads during
the next 12 years. an average Of
$28 million more each year is
needed to keep the system in
first-class condition. the High
way Department said in q re-
port released last night.
The 114-page report comes
Just 10 days before the General
Assembly convenes its biennial
session. At the very end Of the
study. the department has this
to say:
The problem Is this: During
the next IL years, highway needs
will cost $1.375. .l66, 900 to satisfy.
Funds available will be 81 ,039.-
$4,000. The difference between
highway needs and available
funds is $685.. .448, 900, approxi-
mately $28 million a year.
Unless this amount is made
available :. the economic well
fare and safety Of the State will
be gravely retarded"
Rural Needs Are Biggest.
The State-operated highway
network. which has grown from
1000 to 48.800 miles in 35 years.
has its most pressing backlog of
needs IN its rural primary sys-
tenn. That constitutes 1886 miles
in length.
just how, or If. these needs
will be met to keep up with
population growth and heavier
traffic demands will provide one
OF the highlights Of the forth
coming legislative session. It is
virtually certain. however. that
the State will not depart from
its traditional pay-as-you-go
policy to follow the example of
Maryland which last year
launched a 12-year construction
program.
Senator Byrd. whose Demo-
cratic organization holds a tight
rein on the Legislature, fathered
the pay-as-you-go plan when he
was Governor. AS a State Sena-
tor in 1928 he sponsored the first
State gasoline tax g cents). Re-
Gently he said:
Virginia is the only pay-as-
you-go State in the Union that
constructs and maintains the
entire system Of highways, in
cluding contributions to the
cities for main arteries within
their limits. Not one cent is
derived from taxation on other
classes Of property"
Gas Tax Rise Rebuffed.
Last week, the Virginia Ad-
visory Legislative Council turned
down a recommendation Of one
Of its committees that the gaso-
line tax be increased from 6 to
z cents for an additional $40
million a year.
And Thomas B. Stanley, who
will be inaugurated as the next
Governor on January 20, cam
paigned recently on a platform
generally promising no increases
in taxes.
The highway report says one
of the most critical factors is a
steadily-mounting backlog Of
needs. "It is even more disturb
ing that by 1865 there will be
an increase Of 73 per cent in the
volume of traffic on our roads. I"

SO Million Month at Hecht's.
The Hecht Co. announced its

fast yesterday morning at Hotel
Statler. In attendance were Of
ficers. buyers and service heads.
Harry M. Davidow, executive
vice president and general man
ager Of the Hecht stores here,
pointed out the December peak
overshadowed the previous rec
ord for that month, set last year.
He said 1858 was a year Of
transition and uncertainty, but
that at the year-end he felt
certain the company would set
additional sales records in 1854.
The December record more
than fulfilled a SO million goal
set several months earlier. At
that time merchandise managers

dow a giant-sized check" for
$40 million. It occupied prom
