...more deeply than all the others, it was his personal determination to do what he could to preserve and increase public respect for the integrity of the White House. If there was one Eisenhower accomplishment that Democrats and Republicans could agree on, it was that a stern White House code-far tougher than the code of congressional politics that Harry Truman brought down the hill from the Senate-had erased the petty stains of mink coats, freezers and influence peddling.

Only trouble: nobody is sure what a 49-star flag will look like officially-provided the bill passes the Senate. The U.S. Code does not stipulate the arrangement of stars, only that one shall be added for each new state, effective the Fourth of July following admission to the Union. In the congressional hopper are proposals, drawings and samples of 49-star flags. Suggestions: five rows of five and four rows...
