■ i 1 M THE ARMY GOES ROLLING ALONG—“Rolling” on its legs to the tune of the official Army Song the 3d “Old Guard” Infantry Regiment with its colonial color guard passes in review on the Mall. The review, taken on the Mall by Army Secretary Brucker, marked the 183 d anniversary of the Nation’s military land forces in conjunction with the opening of a new Hall of Military History in close-by Smithsonian Institution. —Star Staff Photo by Ranny Routt. Army's 183 d Birthday Celebrated by Parade A small but colorful military pageant on the Mall helped the United States Army celebrate its 183 d birthday yesterday. Smithsonian Institution was principal collaborator, opening its new Hall of Military History in the Arts and Industries Shortly afterward, 600 crack troops of the Third ‘‘Old Guard” Infantry Regiment; marched by in formal review , on Smithsonian's “front lawn.” | Secretary of the Army Wil- | ber M. Brucker snipped the ribbon opening the start-to- : present display of the Nation’s military development. Mr. Brucker also took the 3d Regi ment review and participated in the formal retreat ceremo nies during which the flag atop Smithsonian’s tower was low ered to the strains of the “Star Spangled Banner” and the echoes of a 19-gun salute. In both proceedings Mr. Brucker was joined by three of the Assistant Secretaries, Dewey Short, Hugh Milton and Prank H. Higgins, fn#tJr%n. Lyman L. Lemnitzer Army vice chief of stall. Patriotism Lost “We’ve 1(M a lot of patriotism back home on Main street.” Mr. Brlcker said. "It has been lost from our hearts somehow. "When I was a boy and Flat Day and the Fourth of Juli came around and there was ni flag on display at everyone’! house, it was something to bi ashamed of.” Americans, he added, “must get back to that feeling. It does something for the people of this country. We must search for the wellsprings of renewed patriotism.” He paid tribute to Smith sonian, to Dr. Leonard Car michael, its secretary, and to museums in general for helping preserve the Nation’s past. “We must look to museums like Smithsonian,” he said. The new hall, directly oppo site its counterpart in naval history, is characteristic of the museum’s new story-telling ap proach to the past. Dioramas Show Scenes Dioramas depict some of the Army’s 145 battle campaigns. The Army’s flag with its 145 campaign streamers gets a prominent display. The uni form that George Washington wore when he relinquished his commission is right at the en trance. Representative weapons of all the Nation’s fighting eras are neatly arrayed.

OTEARY Star Stitt Writer The tide in the Senate ap peared to be running in favor of the administration yester day in ita efforts to hold the line against any tax cuts this year. A few days ago there were indications that the Senate might vote to repeal the trans portation taxes on freight and passengers, as an antirecession move. But a reliable source reported yesterday there is now a good chance to pats the administra tion bill extending corporation and excise rates for another year without change. The House has already voted the exten sion. Fear Broad Changes Although there is strong sup port in the Senate to get rid of the 3 per cent levy on freight and 10 per cent on travel tickets, there were signs of a growing realization that if any one amendment is adopted it might open the way to other equally appealing changes in the excise schedule. For example, there is bound to be a demand for reduction or repeal of the 10 per cent tax NOTICE!

Senator Douglas, Democrat of Illinois, is expected to renew the fight he made in the Fi nance Committee for a $6 bil lion tax cut program including some Income tax relief for wage-earners and small busi ness. He would also reduce a variety of excise taxes. Big Deficit Ahead Even without any tax cuts, the Treasury faces a $3 billion deficit for the year ending June 30, and a deficit of be tween $8 and $lO billion next year.
