Senators Plan More Swaps

Calvin Griffith, undermined
boss of the Senators. today
awaited a phone call which
would ID send Pitcher Maury
McDermott to the Yankees in ex-
change for five players, or ca
dispatch three Senator's to New
York in a transaction which will
bring seven players to WASH

Calvin lowered near his phone.

Weiss. general manager of the
Yankees, who in turn was ex-
pecting transatlantic call from
Casey Stengel, mis- manager. put
ting his stamp of approval on
one of two deals agreed upon by
Weiss and Griffith Yesterday at
the major league meetings in
Chicago.
Oddly, the second trade-the
7-for-3 swap-may not include
McDermott. The Yankees are
reported to be extremely in
terested in two other Washing
ton pitchers-possibly Ted Aber-
nathy and Camilo Pascual-plus
an undisclosed outfielder.
More Deals to Follow
Regardless of which deal Is
made, Calvin admits the Sem
ators are anxious to continue
trading. I'VE may make one or
two more deals after We COM
plete one with the Yankees"
Griffith said.
/ Manager Chuck Dresser of the
Senators said yesterday in Chi
cago that possibly more than Is
players would be exchanged in
Washington maneuvering. Chuck
was including embryonic deals
with Cleveland and Chicago
which hinge upon the impend-
ing business with the Yankees.
I If the 5-for-l deal is consume
mated. the Senators will acquire
two outfielders, two pitchers and
an infielder or catcher. If the
7-for-3 trade develops. the Sem
ators will pick up two outdeld.

is prepared attesting that the
accompanying standard has
been flown over the Capitol.
Both are forwarded to the
Congressman who made the
request, and he sends it to the
group who had asked for it.
There are several flags fly
ing day and night over the
Capitol-one of the few places
where the flying of the flag
at night is authorized. Some
of them have special signifi-
canoe: For example, American
flags are flown over both the
Senate and House wings to
signify that that particular
legislative branch is in session.
They are lowered when the
group adjourns. You can tell
by the flag that House men,
bers are in session, but not so
with the Senate, which does
not adjourn but merely re-
ceSses at the end of each work
day. Thus the Senate flag
often flies day and night for
weeks at time until the SEN
ate ends its legislative calen-
dar and adjourns.

Mr.. Stewards Office then
notifies the Capitol police, and
an officer carries the standard
up to the roof at the base of
the dome on the west side of
the building. The flag is
carefully unfurled, raised to
the staff, flown for several
minutes. then lowered and re-
packed in its original con-
tainer. The ceremony is re-
peated as many times as there
are flags to be flown that day.
Only the flagstaff on the west

this purpose.

A S AMERICANS honor Old
IA Glory on Flag Day, Tues
day, among the proudest of
the banners unfurled in all
parts of the country will be
those that have once flown
over the Capitol Building.
The Flagstaff over the west
entrance of the Capitol, fac
ing toward the Washington
Monument, probably flies
more different American flags
each year than any other
f1agpole in the world. The
reason is that many organ
izations desire to have as their
own standard a flag that once
flew over the Capitol, and over
the years a method has been
worked out to achieve this.
Originally, only those flags
which had seen long service
or become tattered were sent
to applicants by their Sena-
tors or Representatives. Now,
however, when a member of
Congress decides that a de-
serving group or individual
should have a Capitol flag, he
sends the applicants check
