BAKERSFIELD, Calf, June
% CR.-Herb Elliott Of Austria
liza has run another record
breaking mile race and started
another controversy among
track officials.
The lanky> young miller was
clicked in 3:57.9 at the AAU
championships Saturday night,
shading the recognized mark Of
1888 set four years ago by his
countryman, John Landy.
But no one seems to know
for certain whether the Inter-
national Amateur Athletic Fed
Grafton now recognizes mile
marks in tenths of seconds.
It was dealing only in fifths
Of seconds when Landy set his
record four years ago. Landy
actually ran 3:57.9 too, but it
was recorded as 1858 because Of
the 1AAF poncy.
However, Pincus Sober.
chairman Of the National AAU
Track and Field Committee. ex-
pressed confidence that Elliott's
time would be recognized as a
new world record.
Broke Record Earlier
He said the tenth-second
practice was rescinded two
years ago. and that everything
else in the race was in order. f"
Just a month ago Elliott
broke the record with 3:57.8 in
the Coliseum Relays at Los
Angeles. but it went for naught
because a last-minute entrant
in the race turned out to be a
pacesetter. The IAAF doesn't
recognize records set with pace
settlers.

in these ceremonies, whereas
trumpets are used for routine
military burials.
No Warm Up
Taps is easy to play" he
said, but the emotional circum-
stances at the Tomb make it
a thousand times harder.
ALSO, you have no time to
warm up. It's hard to hit Taps
cold. You've got to get it right
the first time. It's very unnerv-
ing"
His problem was to redesign
an instrument which looked like
a bugle, but was easier to play,
like a trumpet. His solution was
a bugle with a trumpet mouth
piece and tubing, and cornet
bell.
A New York firm built one he
liked, and the Army purchased
it as the bands official instru-
ment.
Sgt. Myers has studied the
trumpet since his childhood in
Indianapolis. and was on his
way to becoming a public school
music teacher when he was
drafted in october, l94l.
Il thought I'd be in for a
year, and then go back and
finish my last year of college, "
he said. Il was bugler Of the
guard at Camp Lee, Va, on
December 7th."
With the prospect Of a long
war ahead, Sgt. Myers went into
supply work, but his love for
music prevailed, and he took a
"bust" from sergeant to private
to get back in the Camp Lee
band.

He came to Washington and
Joined the Military District Of
Washington Band, which
merged with the Army Band

He has played at most of the
