The Black Eagle:
We talked for a long time on a lot of subjects, one of them being his pas-tigers. "On these President Special flights," he said, "we almost always have ecial characters, the Mysterious Set, you know. See that heavy-set chap over ere, third seat ahead, on the aisle? That's Colonel Julian, the Black Eagle. He is the right arm of Haile Selassie during the war."
"And what is the Black Eagle doing now?" I inquired.The Design. The design of the great seal consists of the national coat of arms surrounded by two concentric rings. The arms have an American bald eagle with raised wings as their chief reaiure. The eagle holds a branch of olive in its ight talon and a bundle of 13 arrows in its left. ^ ribbon held in its beak displays the motto, £ Pluribus Unum, meaning "From Many, One." ibove the eagle's head is the crest, consisting of ^3 stars against a blue sky, surrounded by rays if light and an encircling cloud. The national lag is suggested by the shield on the eagle's ireast with its six red stripes on a white field and ts blue chief (upper border).
The eagle as been a symbol of sovereignty in many so-ieties. The olive branch and arrows stand for le power to make peace and war. The constel-ition above the eagle's head suggests the new ation taking its place as a sovereign republic, he red in the shield is said to stand for valor id hardiness; the blue for vigilance, justice, and srseverence; and the white for purity and mocence.
