dent Truman assumed Office
in 1915. he noted that the
Presidents nag behind his desk
had four stars on ito indi-
cate that the President was
Commander in Chief Of the
Army.
The flag had been designed
when the highest ranking gen.
eral carried three stars on his
shoulder. This. Of course. no
longer obtaiped during World
War II.
When the five-star generals
began coming in to see him.
Mr.. Truman could not help
comparing stars. Although the
stars on the flag did not denote
rank--the Chief Executive has
no rank-it offended his sense
or rightness that the President
Of the United States should be

discomforts she would have to
face. Surely. she cannot ex-
pect to get her mothers and

ceptance and an equally
natural desire to do the right
thing from a moral point of
view, is the strong emotional
need to know that her man
really belongs to her. She
can't have these things under
the setup proposed by this man.
Helene is now building up a
false case that her domineering
mother is preventing her from
fulfilling herself in love at this
late. and perhaps last, op-
portunity. If she adopts the
notion that fate and her mother
have been cruel TO her, she is
headed for a bitter. as well as
lonely, later life. 1t is time she
