Truman proclaimed Flag Day as a national observance in 1949. Lack of an up-to-date 50-star banner need be no impediment to anyone wishing to display the Staes and Stripes today.

They've joined forces with muskrats to increase the concern of island'owners who wage an unrelenting battle to keep levees stable to assure protection of their under-sea-level property. Depredations of burrowing animals undermine levees. On Winter Island, a private ly-owned recreational and farming tract off Pittsburg's waterfront, 17 beaver were trapped in the past year in addition to some 1,300 muskrat. Charles Pacini of Pittsburg, who for the past 16 years has been a co-owner of the 600-acre island with three brothers and four brothers-in-law, 'said the furry animals bore through levees.

On other uninhabited islands in the lower Delta where trap ping has not been undertaken, the animals are even more numerous and an area-wide program of extermination would be required, according to Pacini.

These include weekend tourism and sports.

Masses are celebrated every day in Roman Ctholic churches. Only attendance at Sunday Mass is obligatory. Informants said the Congregation of the Council, the Vatican agency regulating the observance of religious duties, has granted authorization for meeting the weekly Mass obligation on Saturdays. It is up to individual bishops to decide whether to permit this in their dioceses. Jaunters II 1 I I I "fntmaa Jauntm" Francisco Slitter 1-5400 0.

or Check a Size and Width HAVANA Raul Castro, head of the Cuban armed forces, charged Saturday night that U.S. troops at the Guantanamo Naval Base had committed 1.651 "provocative acts" against Cuba since November, 1962. The brother of Prime Minister, Fidel Castro described the provocations as a variety of acts ranging from shouted insults to the wounding of a Cuban soldier by U.S. sentries last Tuesday. The U.S.

has denied that it had any hand in the shooting of the Cuban. Castro said Cuba had hundreds of feet of film showing U.S. Marine sentries throwing rocks at Cubans and he challenged the U.S. to produce a single picture of a Cuban soldier in a similar action. Castro made the charges in an address to the closing session of the Communist youth convention in Pedro Marrero Stadium, formerly Tropical Park, a baseball stadium.

The defense chief also said Cuba had captured hundreds of U.S. Central Intelligence agents, seized tons of arms throughout the island and uncovered underground radio stations. Castro blamed the U.S. for the Freeman 7iV Of Jr. y'A VT Make Sunday, June 21 a happy day for Dad.

In a warning to the U.S., Cas tro added: "Constant provocations from the Yankee base at Guantanamo, constant violations of aerial space by spy planes, and U.S.

government demands to make inspections (in Cuba) at any cost, are great dangers to world peace and dangerously increase tension in the Caribbean." Many of the 75 Americans who have cometo Cuba in defiance of the U.S. State Department travel ban attended the meeting. Castro said the "revolutionary government gives the warmest welcome" to the visitors who, he said, were "defying the reactionary policy of their government." He called upon the Americans to travel about Cuba and see what "the United States press calls the captive youth of our country."
