.....the error in this story, about the man who allegedly designed the current 50 star US flag?

"SAGINAW, Mich. [[AP) — Robert G. Heft, who is credited with designing and sewing America's first 50-star flag, has died. He was 67.

Wakeman Funeral Home says Heft died Saturday at a hospital in Saginaw. A cause of death wasn't immediately available.
Heft, who lived in the Saginaw area, made the flag in 1958 as part of a high school history project in Lancaster, Ohio. He spent more than 12 hours sewing the design at his mother's Singer sewing machine.
The flag was chosen by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to replace the 48-star flag."

Hello? The 50-star flag replaced the 49-star flag. Looks like AP has hired some very young college graduates.
