[Boy Scouts before American flag]

Three men in suits and ten Boy Scouts looking at large American flag in courtroom, probably in court building at 120 Schermerhorn Street. Caption on verso: "At long last an American flag graces the wall of the grand jury room in Brooklyn Federal Court. Five Boy Scout Troops of the Central District of the Brooklyn Scout Council presented the flag yesterday to U.S. Marshal Arthur J. Jaeger (left), Clerk George Teoomey (center) and Chief Clerk Percy G.B. Gilkes. J. Walter Gallagher of Garden City, foreman of the grand jury, thanked the Scouts for their gift . . ."
