PAPER Reading Mayor a Laughing Stock Because of His Stand on Foreign Flags The iN'ew Tork Telegram of yesterday said: "We're finding out a lot of things these times.

"Investigation of the matter in Washington reveals that there is no provision under the law which, would prevent an American citizen from flying the colors of any foreign nation. We think this is a matter for action by Congress."
