217 East Blacker Street, sent me a clipping irom a Roanoke, newspaper telling of the Star on the Mountain in that city, which was lighted last week with impressive ceremonies. Life Magazine this week has quite a write-up about the Roanoke Star on the Mountain. Far be it from me to take credit from any individual or any citizen, but it is apparent that El Paso's Star on the Mountain just dwarfs the one In Roanoke. The Roanoke star is 100 feet in diameter. It is placed atop Mill Mountain, 1000 feet above the City of Roanoke.

Tm sure It is a beautiful sight. Mrs. Stevens added that $25,000 was raised by Roanoke business men to pay for that star. "El Pasoans should be deeply grateful to El Paso Electric Co. for its gift to us," Mrs.

Stevens added. I wish to add my approval to that. El Paso's Star on the Mountain, which will be lighted Friday night, is 459 feet In length and 278 feet in width. It will be easily visible for 50 miles. I know that from a personal experience.

At Christmas, 1945, the firjt time the star was lighted since before World War II, two Army Air Corps men took me up In a night bomber to see the star from the air. They really gave me the works, but I know now Just how far the star can be seen at night. Thanks, Mrs. Stevens, for sending me the Roanoke clipping. I'll forward it to Carter Womack, president of El Paso Electric as you asked.

This is not printed here to give anyone an opportunity to gloat over Roanoke or any other community. But El Pasoans should know what we have that Is so much better than what other communities have. We should be proud. THOSE BATTLE FLAGS TEX EASLEY, Associated Press staffer In Washington who centers his activities on serving Texas newspapers which arc members of the AP, dug up considerable interesting information on battle flags of the TJ. War of 1848-48.

Much attention is being centered on those flags because an effort is being made to have President Truman and President Aleman meet on the border to exchange battle flags held by the two countries from that war. Easley learned that it was 101 years ago Dec. 26 that President K. Polk directed that 63 Mexican flags, captured in the war, be placed with other trophies at West Point Military Academy. Easley reported that the U.

S. Senate already has passed a measure authorizing the return of the Mexican flags. The House is expected to pass the bill shortly after the new session of Congress convenes Jan. 3. Easley said it is cot questioned In Washington that some U.

S. flags captured in that war, are held in Mexico City. Easley added this valuable background to the facts he dug up about those flags. Here is an excerpt from a letter written by Cadet Philip H. Sheridan (later Commanding General, U.

S. Army) to his brother on Feb. 17, 1849: "Great, too. wa th celebration which of internal revenue. Then they ne BOOKS DISAPPEAR SIXO; 3 months 33.75; 6 months 37; 1 year 313.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 134 Britain's Mistake IT WOULD be unwise for official Washington 1 or the American people to become upset over the expected recognition of the Chinese Communist Government by Britain, Australia and New Zealand. If those governments wish to bow down before the Chinese Reds, it is their privilege to do so. The rest of the world should see through such a gesture.

The reason is spelled Hong Kong. The British think they have to keep that crown colony. Already they have told Washington they could not hold it, if the Chinese Reds attacked, without assistance from us. The Times thinks Britain will be making a mistake by recognizing the Chinese Reds when it is world knowledge that Washington, is very displeased with that group of bandits because of their inexcusable treatment of Angus Ward, the U. S.

consul general in Mukden. London should have learned by now that, every so often, It has to yell "Uncle" meaning that additional aid has to come from the U. S. There Is no doubt that such recognition by Britain will have an unfavorable reaction in the United States. The American people will feel that Britain periodically asks us for aid, but when we are at cross-purposes with a disturbing element in the world, the British will recognize that element despite our stake in the game.

Nevertheless, the American people should concern themselves with the insistence that our own Government does not follow Britain's lead and also recognize Red China. It is understood that some factions in our State Department favor just such a step.

Urey Is Right AT LEAST one noted scientist has taken a realistic view of world affairs. He is Dr. Harold C. Urey, who helped fashion the atomic bomb. Dr.

Urey is urging that the democratic world band itself together in an "enormous unbalance of power" and thus force Russia to keep the peace. Dr. Urey takes the position there is no possible way of working with the Russian dictatorship except on a basis of Communist conquest of the world. The Times agrees with Dr. Urey.

On a number of occasions this newspaper has recommended that the non-Communist world, regardless of boundary lines, band itself together In common defense against Communist infiltration. As matters stand now, the United States, practically alone, is financing the cold war against Communism. Some countries in Europe have squeezed additional aid from us on the threat they would go Communist unless that aid were forthcoming. If the entire non-Communist world would work together In what Dr. Urey called an "enormous unbalance of power," the Russians and their Communist allies all over the earth would be badly outnumbered.

Chapman, 414 South Virginia Street STUDIO COUCHES Our Bill Of Rights THURSDAY was the 158th anniversary of our Bill of Rights. On Dec. 15, 1791, the first 10 amendments to our Constitution were ratified by enough states go into force. Three states ratified later Massachusetts, -XJeorgia and Connecticut. In these 158 years, our Bill of Rights has served as a beacon light to oppressed people everywhere.

They can be boiled down to a few words, namely: Respect for the dignity of the Individual and for his personal liberties. Two other amendments were submitted along with these 10, only to be rejected. The two rejected ones were numbered One and Two, so that the present First Amendment was submit- ted to the states as the third. rr One of the two rejected proposals would have prescribed a fixed population ratio for determining the membership of the House of Representatives; this one fell one state ratification short. The other would have held up any change voted In the pay of Congress until after a new House had been elected; that one fell five ratifications short.

The Bill of Rights, protecting the liberty of the individual against the power of the Government, goes back to "unalienable rights" insisted upon in the Declaration of Independence and to "Bills of Rights adopted In Virginia and other states. Those in turn derived from the Declaration of Rights proclaimed by the English Parliament in 1689 and the Petition of Right it voted In 1628. And behind all these lay Magna Carta Itself. Most countries believe these days that a central government needs more power than most Americana like to see in their Government in Washington. The Declaration of Human Rights adopted a year ago (Dec.

10, 1948) by the UN General Assembly without dissent, but with the Soviet bloc abstaining, is not binding. It calls itself only 'a common standard" for which to strive.
