" SEATTLE RFPRESENTATIVE — Frank J. Dunning, 1011 American Bank Building. (Cincinnati Enquirer) The laws of heraldry specify that when eagles !ure used on insignia théy should face to the right— | possibly because some of the lawmakers of heraldry had strong personal convictions on the subject of eagles facing to the left. Unfortunately, however, it is so, We say un- fortunately, because someone has discovered that the 1 eagles which have been used on the insignia of the! United States Navy from its beginning face to the left instead of to the right. And Secretary of the| Navy Frank Knox is reported to have ordered an immediate about-face of the eagles on all of the Navy's buttons, sleeves, collars, caps, epaulets, and sword belt buckles. According to the Navy Depart- ment, the correction probably will entail consider- able expense. i If we may suggest, we would prefer that the Navy | Department wait until world conditions’are somewhat more tranquil before undertaking a comprehensive reorganization of the Navy's eagles.
