(UPDThe Goshen, Ind., High School band heads for home today after a $6,500 appearance in the “Miss America” pageant in support of the Indiana entry, a girl who once played in it. The $6-m»mber band ■’elimaxed a long trip here in three buses by serenading Miss Anita Marie Hursh of Goshen as she stood with tears in her eyes on a hotel balcony, and marching in a sevenmile, three-hour parade down this resort city’s boardwalk Tuesday night. Anita was the only one of the 52 contestants to have her own band serenading her. Directed by Reginald Brinklow. the band marched briskly from the boardwalk to the hotel just as Anita was finishing an early dinner before taking part in the annual pageant prade. The, band played “Back Home Again in Indiana” while Anita waved from the balcony. Anita’s little sister, Loni, 14, the band’s cymbal player, dropped out of formation and rushed upstairs to present Indiana’s beauty queen with a big bouquet of deep red roses. Proud of His Kids Brinklow said he was proud of the way the band performed, especially with all its members Weary from the long trip. “I had them practicing for a month marching from one end of Goshen to the other to prepare for the parade,” he said. They proved their mettle, keping up with the veteran mummers groups from Philadelphia and local bands every step of,the way. They got a big hand as they stepped a lively pace down the walk with the drum majorettes strutting their stuff. Anita was one of the few contestants to ride a float in the pa- : radp. Most sat in open convertibles. But with her vanguard of [band musicians playing “Darkitown Strutters’ Ball.” Anita i perched proudly on a float sponr sored by the Goshen News, depicting a formal garden with green and white decorations. The band trip was made posjsible by contributions from homej town folk who forked over $6,500 to finance the journey. I “Miss Indiana” clung tightly to [ her bouquet of red roses as her float moved slowly along past a crowd of about 250,000 persons. She wore a white nylon net gown trimmed in white taffeta. It had a very .full skirt of ruffles oVer net with embossed edges and a white taffeta cummerbund. She wore pendant earrings and long white gloves. Flowers From Syracuse Earlier in the day, Anita received another floral tribute, a bouquet of carnations, gladioli and roses from the North Central Indiana Optometric Association at Syracuse, Ind. Anita’s father. Dr. Charles W. Hursh, is an optometrist. Anita posed for pictures for more than two hours on the beach Tuesday. She wore a blue bathing suit. Later she changed to leisure attire to go to convention hall for her first visit backstage. There, she and the other girls saw the huge dressing room they will use for their four nights of appearances to demonstrate their talent and how they look in bathing suits and evening gowns. The four nights of appearances begin tonight. Later in the day. Anita practiced the piano for her talent appearance tonight. She took a nap while her mother pressed some of her contest clothes. Meanwhile her 15-year-old brother Buddy went swimming. Dr. Hursh has been “adopted" by the press covering the contest. He has been accredited as a photographer and has kept busy photographing the contestants — particularly the one he is counting on to win.

Ike Signs Bill Providing Some Relief In Tax Provides Overhaul ' Os Federal Sales And Excises Taxes NEWPORT, R.I. (UPD— President Eisenhower has signed a bill to give some* tax relief to theatergoers, sports fans, and duespaying members of community swimming pools. Parochial schools also get a tax break under the new law. The 400-page statute provides a comprehensive overhaul of federal excise (or sales) taxes. New levies would be imposed on some items, including record players. The net effect would be to trim about 42 million dollars from the nearly 10 billion which the government collects annually from taxes on the manufacture and sale of goods and services. Among its many provisions, the new tax law will: —Cut 10 cents off the tax on admissions to theaters, movies, baseball and football games and other sporting events and entertainment costing SI.OO or more. The 10 per cent tax on the first SI.OO in admissions would be repealed, with the resultant revenue loss of 21 million dollars a year. Present law exempts from tax tickets costing 90 cents or less, but levies the full tax on all admissions costing more than that. —Permit whisky makers to keep liquor under bond for as long as 20 years without ‘paying a $10.50-per-gallon tax that now must be paid whenever the whisky becomes 8 years old. The tax would still have to be paid, however, any time the whisky is with drawn from bonded warehouses. The change was sought by Schenley Distilleries, which has vast amounts of whisky in storage getting to be 8 years old and on which the tax was about to come due under the old law. Other distillers opposed the change. —Exempt parochial and other non - profit schools or colleges from payment of excise taxes on goods they buy or on their telephone or transportation services. Die tax savings, amounting to three million dollars a year, would take effect next July 1. —lmpose a new 10 per cent tax on record players and a new 5 per cent* tax on oil and operated Incinerators. —Repeal the 20 per cent tax on club dues and initiation fees of members of community swimming pools and ice and roller skating rinks, retroactive to last Jan. 1. In general the excise tax changes take effect Jan. 1. Among the exceptions is the new rule on whiskv which takes effect next July i.
