The Pittsburgh Symphony Or chestra, one of the world's great musical organizations, will appear in Holland Thursday, Feb. 9, at 8 p.m. in Civic Center as the fourth attraction of this season's Civic Mus'ic series. This orchestra, now conducted by William Steinberg, goes back to the old Pittsburgh Orchestra founded in 1896 and conducted by Victor Herbert who composed many of his famous operettas during his six-year regime as conductor. This orchestra, later conducted by Frederic Archer and Emil Paur, remained in existence for 15 years.

The revival of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra took place in Elias Breeskin and Antonio Modarelli served as conductors until 1936 when the orchestra was reorganized as a major symphony under the guidance of Dr. Otto Klemperer. Fritz Reiner then became the permanent conductor and served in that capacity for 10 years. Following four seasons of guest conductors, William Steinberg became the director in 1952. Since that time, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has established its unqualified right to be considered as one of the greatest orchestras of the United States.

Appearances in Carnegie Hall in New York have been hailed by the metropolitan critics as major musical events. The challenging programs and the brilliance of the ensemble under William Steinberg's direction have received praise on ajl sides, orchestra's recordings under Steinberg have been acclaimed. In Pittsburgh the orchestra plays two series of subscription concerts on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons with outstanding soloists and famous guest conductors. Two sold-out series of young people's concerts also are part of the seasonal activity and such special concerts as the "utility" and "industry" programs are a distinctive part of the orchestra's schedule. Christian Endeavor Union Has Banquet About 115 members of the Holland Christian Endeavor Union gathered in Durfee Hall Thursday evening for the annual C.

E. banquet to climax Christian Endeavor Week. Highlight of the program was chalk artist, John Drolen of Kala- rnazoo. Bryon White, student at Western Theological Seminary, was toastmaster and Lee Mekkes of Grandville was soloist and also led group singing. Miss Patricia Vander Beek was pianist.

Swainson committed political hara-kiri when he proposed an income tax to solve Michigan's fiscal woes. If so. he went out in the best tradition of the ancient Japanese suicide rite--his passing was honorable. And if not. which is the more likely possibility, he probably added to his stature because he had the courage to introduce such a highly unpopular concept.

That Swainson has long thought an income tax Was inevitable is well known. Republicans, during last fall's governorship campaign, shouted from the rooftops that the Democratic candidate's program for "total fiscal revision" would contain the income levy." But Swainson refused to say so. When he did announce the program this week, many Democrats were unhappy that he didn't wait a little longer--at least until after spring conventions this weekend. Despite the income tax plan, Swainson is likely to remain popular with his party. He is a proven vote-getter, almost all the party leaders are on his side and, most important of SPRING YARN CLEARANCE Feb.

Democrats, while they may not give unqualified support to the income tax plan, are not expected to repudiate their leader over a program that was obviously submitted as a sincere effort to eliminate inequities in the Michigan tax structure. Whether the plan actually would accomplish its aims may be just an academic question.

The total package seems to have little likelihood of adoption by the legislature, though parts of it may bo enacted or a new plan with many features of the Swainson proposal might be passed. Republicans, of course, will make every effort to insure that' HIP income tax--whether enacted or not--is labeled a Democratic program. Voters, especially that all-important controlling segment of voters known as may feel that Swainson's income tax plan was an outright affront to their expressed wishes. A penny hike in sales and use taxes gained voter approval Nov. 8 in large measure because if.

Especially strong in his favor is the fact that he doesn't to stand for re-election until the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1962. A lot can happen before then. And voters, both party-oriented ones and independents, have notoriously short memories.

By introducing his fiscal revision program this year, Swainsin was following the tested and proved political axiom that says taxes should bo hiked in non-election years, and government economy should be stressed in election years.
