CAN WE WAVE THE FLAG TOO MUCH,

Is it possible to wave the flag too

wave it with integrity? Is it possible
to study Lincoln or Shakespeare too
much? Is it possible to read the Bible
too much? The great, the good, the
true, are inexhaustible for inspiration,
example and strength. l believe that
we are not waving our flag enough,
not nearly enough. 1t seems to me that
we are developing a tendency to be
timid reven apologize about waving

down the street on July 4th and count
the flags.
1t is our nations birthday, a sacred
day in world history, the most i'm

the flag flying on every rooftop and
from every home and building? This
complacent attitude is strong evidence
OF cancerous patriotic decay. The flag
Is symbol of our national unity. 1t
Is the spirit of our undying devotion
to our country. 1t stands for the best
that is in us for loyalty, character,
and faith in democracy. Isn't our flag
synonym of the United States of
America? Does it not represent mans

Undue and rekindle in ourselves and
our children the so-called old-fashion-
ed way of patriotism, a burning de-
votion to the principles and ideals up
on which our country was founded.
Should not every home own and
proudly display the colors on holidays
and other such occasions? Isn't the
flag Patrick Henry, jefferson, Frank
lin, Washington, Nathan Hale, Gettys-
burg and Valley Forge, Paul Revere,
jackson and other great men and
women who have given us our herit-
age. When you look at the flag can't
you see the Alamo, Corrigedor, Pearl
Harbor, The Monitor, The Merrimac.
Wake Island, and Korea? Lest we for

Bataan, Two Jima, Normandy, Babe

The great events of our past and
present are wrapped up in our flag.
1t Is symbol of this blessed nation,
giant in industry, education and
commerce. Millions of fertile square
miles, wheatlands, coal mines, steel
pants. Our great republic, the chosen

The object of the company is to operate a
large Cat Ranch near Oneonta Alabama, where
land can be purchased cheap for the purpose
To start with, we want about 1000, 900 cats;
each cat will average about IL kittens per year
The skins from Zoe for white to 4Oc

per year to sell at average price of 3Oc
making revenue about $1,000, 900 a year
$4,000 day, excluding Sunday. and
Holidays
A man skin about SO cats a day at $500
day wage, and it will take 666 to operate the
ranch; therefore, the net profit will be $4,000
day. We feed the cats rats exclusively. To
do that We will start a Rat Ranch. Rats multiply
four times fast cats. If start with a
million rats will have four rats per cat each
day - then We will feed the rats the carcasses
of the cats from which the skins will have

UPHEAVAL IN ARGENTINA
Feuding Politicians Seek
A Peronist Compromise

for a democratic solution, they
compete for Peronist support.
The split between these two
parties goes back to 1856. It
began more or less as a personal
feud between Mr.. Frondizi and
Ricardo Balbin. Each wanted
the presidential nomination.
Through his control of the par
ty machinery, Mr.. Frondizi won
and split the party in the
process. Mr.. Balbin organized
the Peoples Radicals, and Mr..
Frondizi's party became the
Intransigent Radicals.
In succeeding years with Mr..
Frondizi in the presidency, the
[ntranSigent Radicals gained
the ascendancy. Before the
March elections the party con-
trolled both houses of Con-
greSs. But the split deepened
until today far more than a
personal feud separates the two
parties. For instance, they vio-
Iently disagree on the value Of
Mr.. Frondizi's austerity plan
in curing the economic ills of
the country.
Members of both parties
maintain that any unity move
ment would only result in a
third radical party. DiehardS
in each would refuse to join.
IF you put two apples and two
oranges together you get two
apples and two oranges-not
four apples" one partisan said.

multiplying PeroniSt election vic
tories and outlawing the move
ment.
Ironically this pursuit of CO.
existence echoed the contro-
versial "integration" policy
which spelled former Presi-
dent Frondizi'S downfall. He
argued that the only way to
remove the Peronist threat to
social peace was to integrate
| PeroniSt voters in the demo-
cratic body polite. In practice
this was intended to mean
winning them to his own In
stransigent Radical Party. 1t
also meant progressive remov-
al of restriction on the Peron-
ist movement.
Mr.. Frondizi gambled that
he could win in open competi-
tion with Peronist candidates
in the March elections. He lost
not only the elections, but also
his political hold in the coun-
try. His cold, intellectual man
ner and constant maneuverS
succeeded in convincing the
military and political conserv-
atives that "integration" in
fact meant selling the country
out to PeroniSm.
"Gray Eminence"
Much of that suspicion was
fed by the shadowy figure of
Rogelio Frigerio, widely re-
garded as the gray eminence"
behind the Frondizi govern
ment. This wealthy business
man-intellectual held no post
in the cabinet, but he pulled
strings from his private Of
fices in both the Pink House"
the presidential palace-and
the Presidents suburban man
sion.
Mr.. Frigerio appeared to be
Mr.. Frondizi's chief liaison with
Gen. Peron. 1t was he who con-
cluded a pact" with Gen. Peron
in 1857 in Caracas, Venezuela,
which led to Peronist support
for the victorious Frondizi in
the presidential elections of
1858.
Details of that pact have
never been confirmed. But sus-
picious military chiefs conclud-
ed it resulted in a soft" policy
toward Peronist power in the
labor unions and the give
away" of Mr.. Frondizi's inte-
grafton policy.
Mr.. Frigerio's voluntary" ex-
lie and Mr.. Frondizi's imprison-
ment in a pleasant island villa
in the River Plate ended that
policy last month. But their
removal has only complicated
the search for an alternative.
The two democratic parties in
the center of Argentine politics
the Intransigent Radicals and
the Peoples Radicals-are more
split than ever. Together they
control more than so per cent
of the electorate. But instead
If uniting in a common search
