wide, and pipe tunes produced
from 10 plaid bags serve as
cues for many of their in

The bagpipers-nine Amer
leans and one Scotsman
march in the fourth and fifth
rows, dividing bugles from
drums. In addition to provid-
ing cues, they alternate mu-
sical selections with the bugle
section, so that each group
has a chance to rest.
Few Of the bagpipers had
ever handled the complicated
instrument before entering
the Air Force. Like the drum
mers and buglers in the often
praised group, most were pro-
fesSional musicians. Most
played clarinet-another wind
instrument that calls for dex-
ferrous fingers. Since the most
difficult part Of playing a bag

clarinetists seem to make the
switch most easily.

THE HAUNTING sound OF

the blare of bugles, is the one

The Drum Corps, based and

from marches to swing, from
symphony to Dixieland jazz.
But in performances, it's the
music Of the Highlands that
steals the show.
Though bagpipes might be

play an important role in the

Congress

RATTLE LINES were being
- drawn last week for perhaps
the biggest Legislative fight Of this
congressional session, when the
875-page tax revision bill comes
before the House.
A strong bloc Of House Demo-
Gratis already have served notice it
will vote against the bill unless 1t
is amended to boost personal in
come tax exemptions from $500 to
$7OO-an item that would cost the
Government an estimated $2.3 bill
lion a year.
In caucus, the Democrats agreed
to concentrate on recommitting
the bill to the Ways and Means
Committee to include the exemp-
ton increase and, at the same
time, knock out a proposal to cut
taxes on income received by stock
holders from corporation dividends.
The voluminous tax measure, the
first comprehensive overhauling of
the general tax structure in 30
years, will come up Wednesday for
general debate.
President Eisenhower, Treasury
Secretary Humphrey and other
administration leaders have said
the Government cannot afford the
revenue loss that would result
from raising the exemptions.
Consequently, the President will
carry his tax program appeal
directly to the people tomorrow
night with a Nationwide radio
and television talk.
Last week, the House approved
and sent to the Senate the excise
tax bill which lops 1912 millions
off anticipated revenue. Gen.
Eisenhower also said the Govern
ment could not afford that loss,
but nevertheless the bill swished
through the House with a ALTOS
vote. Ironically, the three voting
against the cut were Democrats
Lyle of Texas, Jones of Missouri
and Marshall of Minnesota.
The administration suffered
another defeat on statehood for
Hawaii and Alaska. The Repub-
licans want to let only Hawaii in
this year. The Democrats want

the Senate voted, 1913, to con-
slider them together.

THERE WAS ONLY one way
Of looking at the seven
hectic days just past. 1t was not
Joe McCarthy's week.
For nearly a month, the fire.
brand Republican from Wisconsin
had been eating high off the po-
litical hog. For while, he had
even been jokingly offering news
men and friends Army commits
sions-and it seemed at the time
that there might be more fact than
fancy in his offer.
Then, last week, the boom started
to lower. And this week end, while
Congress gadfly might not actu-
ally be feeling the weight of the
boom, there was no reason to doubt
that he was in difficulty, and knew
it.
Only the most optimistic Nc
Carthy-haters Tor the most pes
simistic McCarthy-lovers) gave
serious consideration to the idea
that he was>washed up, however.
Senator Mccarthy had been in
trouble before-not such serious
trouble, perhaps-and had man.
aged to get out. The prevailing
belief seemed to be that he would
survive this one to get In trouble
again.
