Each year the measure of the battle is in the num ber of flags that fly on Red China's National Day on Oct. 1 and Nationalist China's older "Double Tenth"* anniver sary on Oct. 10. As the Double Tenth dawned last week, the white-starred banner of the Republic of China seemed to have peacefully triumphed over the five-starred Red flag.
