MUSIC
Social Security and the
Income Tax Reduction
it irr. r rr i risrrrrr rr r r i r -
THE concert season is coming to a close.
Only a few scattered programs remain,
notably the spring conceits by the University
Symphony, Choir, and Band, the second reci-
tal this semester by the Stanley Quartet,
and May Festival. Throughout the season
much of real value has been presented, show-
Ing the forward-looking and stimulating en-
vironment of which Ann Arbor at its best is
capable. At the same time a tendency to-
wards mediocrity was seen to creep through,
pointing up Ann Arbor at its worst, playing
to commercial rather than artistic standards.
The high spots were Myra Hess, the Virtu-
osi di Roma, an the Stanley Quartet. Their's
was a performance standard so vital and ar-
tistic that it will remain in'memories for a
long time, particularly Dame Myra in the
Bach French Suite in G major, and Beetho-
ven's Sonata, Op. 111, the Virtuosi di Roma
in Vivaldi, and the Stanley Quartet playing
Haydn's C major quartet, Op 74 No. 1, and
Bartok's Fourth Quartet.
Each were different in their interpre-
tive approach, Dame Myra with her devo-
tion to classic design coupled with a ro-
mantic sensitivity to the individual phrase,
the Virtuosi with their shimmering tech-
nique bringing lucidity and vibrancy to
17th century string music, and of course
the Stanley with their strength and vigor
causing whatever they perform to have a
spontaneity and vitality as if it were com-
posed just yesterday. The performances of
these artists were meaningful, clearly elu-
cidating the music's intention, and provid-
ing a sensitive and imaginative perform-
er's outlook.
Also of note were the concerts by the Bbs-
ton, Cleveland and Chicago Orchestras, the
Reginald Kell Players, Betty Jean Hagen
playing the Lalo "Symphonie Espagnole"
with the Toronto Symphony, George Lon-
don, the organ recitals of Prof. Robert Noeh-
ren, the Collegium Musicum under Prof. Da-
vid playing the rarely heard Handel Concerti
Grossi, Op 3, the 'U' Choir in Bach's Magni-
ficat and the Griller Quartet.
In the theatrical vein the opera depart-
ment under Prof. Blatt presented Strauss'
"Ariadne auf Naxos" in a production which
was noteworthy musically while also filling
a gap in the performance of a literature
which is much larger than the usual oper-
atic repertories suggest.
With new music the season did quite well,
the School of Music admirably doing what
the University Musical Society always has
failed to do. An entire program given over
to the music of Leslie Bassett, instructor in
composition, and the premieres of Prof. Ross
Lee Finney's third Violin Sonata and Heitor
Villa-Lobos' Quartet No. 14, vere the import-
ant first performances. The Finney Sonata
held the distinction of being the only twelve-
tone composition of the year, and it seems
very likely that the future will name it the
year's most significant new composition. The
Villa-Lobos was disappointing, while Mr.
Bassett's music showed skill and talent.
Contemporary music heard here for the
first time included the second string
quartets of Ernst Bloch and Edmund Rub-
bra, the second Violin sonata of Roussel,
Bartok's "Contrasts" and Milhaud's Suite
for Violin, Piano, and Clarinet, Herbert El-
well's "Blue Symphony" for voice and
string quartet, and Boris Blacher's Sym-
phonic Variations. Of these the Bartok
easily stood out as the only one approach-
ing the status of a masterpiece.
The most controversial concert was the pi-
ano recital by Paul Badura-Skoda. Though
his interpretations were consistent and alive,
and his technique brilliant, for most people
his style was too brash and his liberties with
the music too broad.
The disappointing aspects of the season
were in the main lack of focus in the pro-
gramming of many concerts, and what seems
like a deliberate shunning of certain com-
posers. The voice recitals of George Lon-
don, Marian Anderson, Elena Nikolaidi, and
Roberta Peters were all discursive, a random
sampling from here and there. With the
many song cycles in vocal literature, or for
that matter just plain art song, these con-
certs would have been much more interest-
ing.
With the exception of chamber music con-
certs it seems that Beethoven, Haydn, and
Mozart are never heard anymore. But their
orchestral works are certainly as important
as anything in the literature. Our visiting
orchestras have a job to do here. Also the
success of the Virtuosi di Roma, the Colle-
gium Musicum, and the University String
Orchestra shows that the season must in the
future put greater emphasis on pre-Bach
composers in order to satisfy its audience.
And of course more significant and -im-
portant -contemporary music should be on
our programs. What has happened to Hin-
demith, Berg, Schoenberg, Sessions, Copland,
Webern, Stravinsky, Dallipiccola, Frank
Martin, and a host of others. None of these
were heard this year, except for Stravinsky's
early "Firebird" Suite, and some have never
been heard here.
Finally there is no objection to concerts by
the Boston Pops, the Guard Republican Band
of Paris, or DePaur's Infantry Chorus. Their
performances can be highly entertaining,
and have musical validity. But they do not
constitute valuable artistic experiences. The
fact that their appearances take the place
artists and performing groups that do per-
form significant music is not healthy. This
is playing towards commercialism. They
should appear in addition to the concert se-
ries, not as an integral part of it.
ON January 1, 1954, an income tax cut be-
came effective. It marked, perhaps, the
beginning of one of the biggest years for
income tax cuts in recent history.
The reduction called for a ten percent
slice in income revenues. It brought nods
of approval and comments of achieve-
ment from the Republican ranks.
The clamoring in Washington abd
throughout the nation, however, fails to take
into account the fact that the raise in So-
cial Security taxes that accompanied the
drop tends to neutralize the total tax cut
for individuals in the lower brackets.
The income slices, admittedly, are bene-
ficial to the family earning more than $2,000
per year. The families falling within that
bracket are paying thirteen dollars per year
less on income taxes, but after the Social Se-
curity payments are added in, they are actu-
ally paying but three dollars less than a year
ago.
The families below this income group are
paying, after the income and Social Securi-
ty taxes are combined, more than was paid
in 1953.'
A family with two dependents, earning
$3000 a year, although paying in 1954 sev-
en dollars less in income taxes than a year
previous, are paying eight dollars more in
combined taxes. For the family with two de-
pendents $3,000 yearly is approximately the
average salary, and yet, they are paying
more in 1954 than before. What has hap-
pened to the Administration's claim that
personal taxes have been cut?
It is evident that the tax cuts apply to the
slightly above-average income groups. There
is no relief for the lowest paid citizens. The
income tax reduction only holds down the
amount paid through social security; it does
not, as it may seem to indicate, necessarily
accompany a totals reduction of personal tai
payments.
One solution which the Republicans are
proposing is a further reduction of "luxury"
taxes to ten percent. Taxes on furs, theater
admission, jewelry, -and travel tickets now
range up to 25 per cent. Two weeks ago the
House voted to extend the luxury cuts. Sup-
posedly this will aid the lower income groups.
However, Democrats propose an increase
in personal exemptions from $600 to $700.
This, they claim, would put the money in
the hands of those in the lower income
brackets, where it can be circulated. Their
argument is given strength by the an-
nouncement of unemployment figures,
which now stand at 3,671,000, close to the
figure of four million which President Ei-
senhower designated as the danger signal.
Of the two proposals it seems that the lat-
ter is the more advantageous. First of all, it
would give more exemption to the lower
groups and take a bit of the sting out of
the upward trend in Social Security taxes.
This in turn, would allow these people to
retain a greater per cent of their salary, and
therefore their purchasing power will in-
crease, As it stands now, with unemployment
up in spite of Administration aids to busi-
ness, the lowest paid group in the nation is
the hardest hit by taxes.
William Graham Sumner, professor of po-
litical science at Yale at the turn of the :'en-
tury, once made a statement which President
Rooselevt considered appropriate in the early
thirties, and seems appropriate now. It reads,
"What has happened .to the forgotten man
at the bottom of the economic pyramid? He
is the only one in the great scramble for
whom there is no provision. He works, he
votes, he generally prays-but he always
pays."

MERRY-GO-BOUND

For a Campus Community Chest
WASHINGTON - The House Committee on Un-American Activities
now pretty well dwarfed by the gymnastics of a Senator from Wis-
consin, is having one of its few full-committee meetings today. One
reason for its infrequent meetings is that Republicans as well as Dem-
ocrats have been sore at the helter-skelter tactics of the committee'E
unpredictable chairman, Harold Velde. Another is that subcommittee
meetings have been held in key areas partly to unearth embarrassing
political information that will influence local elections.
Though Velde has toned down his habit of pre-noon drinking
which sometimes made him so difficult as a presiding officer, Repub-
licans are still sore over the way he subpoenaed Harry Truman with-
out consulting other committee members. They feel this balled up the
carefully laid Brownell plan to pin the Harry Dexter White matter
squarely on Truman.
These are some of the reasons why Republicans in Velde's own
Congressional district are planning to run another Republican
against him in the Illinois primary.
e
Linguistics Club. There will be a
meeting this evening at 7:30 p.m.
in the Amphitheater, Rackham Build-
ing. Prof. Waldo Sweet, of the De-
partment of Classical Languages, will
discuss "Does Latin Grammar Fit
Latin?" and Mr. Rud Meyerstein of
the Department of Romance Languages,
will speak on "Correlation or Transla-
tion?" All faculty and students inter-
ested in linguistic studies are invited
to attend.
STUDENTS on the University campus are,
at present, subjected to several national
and four all-campus charity drives yearly.
For the national organizations, meth-
ods of collection differ-Tuberculosis As-
sociation sells Christmas seals, Infantile
Paralysis uses the March of Dimes folder,
and American Red Cross has student and
faculty canvassers.
Standard among campus charity collec-
tions is the "bucket drive," during which
students are button-holed at strategic lo-
cations on campus and asked to contribute.
All of these drives, both local and national,
suffer from the same thing-they collect
very little. This year, the March of Dimes
netted only $800 from Michigan students,
an evarge of four cents per student. Amer-
ican Red Cross averaged slightly more than
three cents per student and Tuberculosis
collected all of seven cents from the av-
erage domritory resident.
Campus charity drives fared slightly worse.
Free University of Berlin netted $750 while
World University Service collected less than
three cents a student.
Both the slight amounts of money col-
lected and the strong aversions some stu-
dents have to being continually stopped
en route to class and asked for money in-
dicate that perhaps a more-efficient meth-
od of collecting funds for charity may be
found.
Bucket drives create a strong resentment
among many contributors. Students who do
not fastidiously display their tags are stop-
ped again and again and forced to explain
that they have already dropped their loose
change in .the bucket.
A great number of American commum-
ties and several colleges and universities have
solved the problem of collecting for charity
through the Community Chest, or some vari-
ation of it.
A campus Community Chest offers dis-
tinct advantages which make it worth
looking into. First of all, students are not
subjected to many different collections.
They give once and they're done with it,
Secondly, although the opposite is com-
monly believed, there are strong indica-
tions that participating organizations ac-
tually receive more money from a Com-
munity Chest than they do otherwise.
Psychologically, the impact of a Commu-
nity Chest drive is substantially different
from that of the "bucket" drive. Instead of
hitting students for loose -hange, in the form
of nickels and dimes, a Community Chest
looks for dollars.
At Dartmouth University, 2,700 students
poured more than -$12,000 into the Communi-
ty Chest, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti-
tute came close to its goal of two dollars per
man. A small school, Russel Sage College,
averaged three dollars a student while Mount
Holyoke College, with a student body of
1,000, gave more than $10,000 to charity.
A campus Community Chest would be
easier on the students, and very probably
beneficial to the charities it served. Also,
by replacing the many drives now con-
ducted with one converted drive, a tre-
mendous saving in time and man-hours
would be effected.
Unfortunately though, setting up a Com-
munity Chest is not an easy thing. It is a
complex problem with many facets. That
all of these problems can be met and suc-
cessfully solved, however, is proved by the
thousands of Community Chests now operat-
ing effectively.
One of the major problems is convincing
organizations to join. Most charities are,
at first, reluctant to surrender their pet
methods of collecting money to a Communi-
ty Chest. Experience elsewhere, though, has
proved that these organizations, can be per-
suaded to join.
Another problem faced in setting up a
Community Chest is that of deciding how
to apportion the money. This is not so large
a problem as it appears. It is merely a mat-
ter of choosing one of the several methods
now employed. The most common is to ap-
portion the money percentage-wise, on the
basis of how much each organization has
collected in the past.
There are other problems involved, but
again, with a little effort they can be solved.
The advantages of a concerted yearly drive,
as compared with the diffuse, unorganized
nature of the numerous drives now held,
makes it worth trying to solve them.

{Alntrested students and faculty are
the Democrats. However, one Democrat, Morgan Moulder of Missouri,
sometimes sides with Velde.
A Congressman with a good record, Moulder persuaded Velde to
give a job to the brother of his good-looking secretary, and apparently
feels beholden to the chairman as a result. The brother, George Wil-
liams, has a $9,211.28 job with the Committee though out of college
only four years-not bad for a young man of 25. So maybe Congress-
man Moulder can be forgiven for being grateful.
Meanwhile, also, Congressman Velde has one staff member,
Leslie Scott, assigned to checking his own constituents back in Illi-
nois, with a. view to promoting .the Congressman's re-election. His
salary, paid by the taxpayers, is $6,927.78.
The Velde Committee has spend nearly $500,000 since the begin-
ning of the 83rd Congress and when you look over the payroll you
can understand why.

GARGOYLE
THIS number of the Garg is being touted
as "the children's issue." Kiddies from
six to sixty will find much in it to delight
and instruct themselves and their playmates.
First off there is L. H. Scott's charming
cover, a kind of mosaic that might be en-
titled something like "300 Years of Child-
hood." Cunningly arranged in red and black
are a galaxy of nursery-type pictures, such
as horned Rhine-maidens, dress-makers
dummies, and assortment of poodles, posies
and people.
The inside art is more uneven. The free-
standing cartoons fall pretty flat, they struck
me as grabled executions of rather labored
ideas. But the ads, as usual, are very well
done-enough to make one glad of the grasp-
ing nature of our mercantile civilization. The
masterly punning and drawing of Stu Ross'
layout for a local bookseller is almost a new

likes crossword puzzles but can't spell very
well. It has clues like "to splosh water around

Of the more ambitious undertakings, I
liked Larry Pike's story "The Providential
Quirk" best. It's about a very mild, dull little
man who gets, somehow, abducted from his
mild, dull little life into superb, fantas-
tic, romantic world, where he becomes the
opponent of no less a figure than Cyrano de
Bergerac. While the other stories often get
lost by chasing after random effects, this
one has an admirable consistency of style.
Janet Winn-Malcolm has contributed a phil-
