PROCLAMATION 3236 IMPOSING IMPORT QUOTAS ON TUNG NUTS WHEREAS, pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended (7 U. S. C. 624), the Secretary of Agriculture advised me he had reason to believe that tung nuts are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price-support program undertaken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to tung nuts and tung oil, or to reduce substantially the amount of products processed in the United States from domestic tung nuts or tung oil with respect to which such program of the Department of Agriculture is being undertaken; and WHEREAS, on February 19, 1958, I caused the United States Tariff Commission to make an investigation under the said section 22 with respect to this matter; and WHEREAS the said Tariff Commission has made such investigation, and has reported to me its findings and recommendation made in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, on the basis of the said investigation and report of the Tariff Commission, I find that tung nuts are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to interfere materially with the said price-support program; and WHEREAS I find and declare that the imposition of the limitations on imports of tung nuts hereinafter proclaimed is shown by such investigation of the Tariff Commission to be necessary in order that the entry of tung nuts will not materially interfere with the said pricesupport program; and WHEREAS, on September 9, 1957, I issued Proclamation No. 32001 (22 F. R. 7265) limiting the quantity of tung oil that may be entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the periods specified in that proclamation; and WHEREAS I find that the limitations on imports of tung nuts hereinafter proclaimed will not reduce the permissible total quantity of tung nuts which may be entered, or withdrawn from ware 13 CFR, 1957 Supp. house, for consumption to proportionately less than 50 per centum of the average annual quantity of tung nuts entered during the representative period from November 1, 1952, to October 31, 1956, inclusive: NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended, do hereby proclaim that no tung nuts shall be permitted to be entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in any quota period specified in the proclamation of September 9, 1957, after the total aggregate quantity of tung nuts and tung oil entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in any such quota period has reached, in terms of oil, the equivalent of the quota for tung oil specified in that proclamation for such quota period. For the purposes of this proclamation the oil content of tung nuts shall be computed on the basis of 15.9 pounds for each 100 pounds of whole nuts, and on the basis of 35.8 pounds of oil for each 100 pounds of decorticated nuts. In order to assure equitable treatment to supplying countries, all tung oil and tung nuts entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption pursuant to the proclamation of September 9, 1957, or this proclamation, shall have been a direct shipment destined to the United States on an original through bill of lading from the country of production.

PROCLAMATION 3241 FLAG DAY, 1958 The annual celebration of the birthday of our flag, adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, has become a cherished national custom. It is fitting that we should observe this anniversary by solemn contemplation of the meaning of the flag we honor. We should remember that it is emblematic of our Nation itself; that our aspirations, our principles, our whole character as a people are symbolized in the Stars and Stripes. We should recall that under its protecting folds generations of Americans have lived and worked to establish the foundations of our Nation's greatness, and people of varied heritage, creed, and race have found surcease from oppression. In recognition of the importance of a yearly commemoration of our flag, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as Flag Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its observance.

I also urge all our citizens to give special thought on Flag Day to their duties and obligations as well as to their rights and privileges as Americans under our national ensign, to the end that they may rededicate themselves to the principles of freedom and justice for which our flag and our country stand. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed. PROCLAMATION 3242 PRAYER FOR PEACE, MEMORIAL DAY, 1958 It has long been our custom, on Memorial Day of each year, to visit the graves of those who have served our Nation in battle, and to pay homage to their memory. Remembering their sacrifices, and knowing the ever-present threat of war which casts its shadow across the future, our hearts are filled with a yearning for peace. Acknowledging in truth that only through divine guidance can we secure the requisite groundwork of justice and understanding for the attainment of a peaceful world, we turn to Almighty God in suppliance for His aid. In manifestation of this need, the Congress provided, in a joint resolution approved May 11, 1950, that Memorial Day should be set aside as a day for Nation-wide prayer for permanent peace, and requested the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day in that manner. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, Friday, the thirtieth day of May, 1958, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at eleven o'clock in the morning as the period in which all of us may unite in prayer for strength to work unceasingly toward the goal of permanent peace on earth. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
