There is much more to Mex
lean folk dancing than that hat

Miss Hernandez charges get to
work. There seem to be as
many varied dance styles as
there are ethnic groups in Mex
ico's native population-Aztec,
Spanish Indian, Yaqui, Yucate-
can, Huastecan, etc.
Some Of the numbers show a
definite kinship with the
dances everywhere of people
wooing fertility in the fields at
planting time. Others display
unmistakable signs Of Spanish
ancestry. Still others may re-
mind you-and don't expect an
explanation Of it hereof Scot
tish and Irish folk dances, an
effect especially noted when

shrill pipe that will take the
top Of your head off.
Whatever the style or origin

Aid-to-Veteruns
Bill Advances
Rv the Associated Press

The House Veterans Affairs
Committee has approved a bill
to provide cost-of-living in
creases in compensation to vet
Grams for service-connected
disabilities. ...
The increases would apply to
more than 2 million disability
cases, including about 100000
peacetime cases. The cost to
the Treasury is estimated at
$100 million a year.
A bill to provide these in
creases was passed by the House
last year, providing a total
increase of $87.9 million. But
Senator Long, Democrat of
Louisiana, added a rider pro-
viding for reopening Of Ma
tional Service Life Insurance
for veterans who had allowed
this insurance to lapse.
The House committee then
tabled the bill, contending the
life insurance reopening was
completely unrelated to dis
ability compensation and had
been rejected by Congress re-
peatedly as far back as 1850.
A committee spokesman said
the new bill is another attempt
to get the compensation in
creases through without being
encountered by the CT life in
surance reopening.
