Restoration of Alexandria 4
oldest house--the Ramsay House
appears headed toward COM
pletion after years Of effort by
many Alexandrians to preserve
the historic landmark.
The City Council has ear
marked $4,000 in bond funds
for the project. This week it au-
thorized City Manager Ira F,
willard to proceed with the prof.
ect after contractors said they
would do the work and await
sale of the bonds for payment.
The council rescued thu old
building from destruction in 1914
when 1t was scheduled to be torn
down to make way for a modern
building. The council put UP
$1,000 to buy the house, after
historic-minded residents put up
an impassioned plea for its pres
ervation.
The house. owned by William
Ramsay. first Lord Mayor Of
Alexandria. had been used as a
tavern for. many years before ii
was hit by fire in 1913. Because
Of its delapidated condition II

In place Of the Maryland State
flag in front Of the Administra-
tion Building.
Complications arose, however,
when DR.. A. o. Kuhn. assistant

ceptance speech that the U. N.
flag could fly under the State
flag.
Never at Top Of STAFF
Yesterday. the State flag was
taken of its standard for the
ceremony, but the U. N. flag
never made 1t to the top of the
staff.
The university's Pershing Rifle
Guard at first raised the flag up
side down. On a second try the
flag ended four feet below the
top Of the staff.
Mrs. Mary Lee Perkins, obser-
vance co-chairman, said the flag
was placed Intentionally at a
level below that Of the United
States flag on a nearby. staff to
the right.
IT was told beforehand this
would be a desecration to the
U. N. flag and could cause an
international incident" Mrs,
Perkins said. adding that the
U. N. flag should not fly below
the State flag or in a position
lower than the United States
flag.
DR.. Kuhn said the mixup In
raising the flag was uninten-
tional and that 1t should have
gone to the top Of the staff.
Legal Opinion Received
He said he had been told by
the State Attorney Generals Of
fee that there is nothing to pre-
vent the U. N. flag from flying
under the State flag.
Mrs. Perkins said she will call
