The Bagpipes
Down In Brazil
By ALEXANDER VALENTINE
Rio de Janeiro, Oct. 5. The Brazilian Bagpipers are coming, ole, ole.
Audiences in various parts of the world may one day see Brazilian Marines, skirling on Scottish bagpipes-just because the Marines once gave away a Brazilian national flag as a present.
It all started in 1951 when a group of Brazilian Naval officers and ratings left Rio de Janeiro for New York to take delivery of a cruiser sold to Brazil by the United States.

GET LEGAL ACCESS TO LIQUOR?
Rabaul, New Britain, Oct. 5.
Authorities responsible for the welfare of Papua New Guinea ñatives are trying to decide whether they should have legal access to liquor, whether it should be available only to "approved" natives or whether it should be formally withheld from all..
One big difficulty is to reach a basis of approval for permits acceptable at once to those granting them and those receiving them and to distinguish between "stone-axe” natives and those in the civil services.

RATIONAL BEING
Mr Cleland's attitude is that the administration cannot ad- vocite advancement of the native and at the same time say "you shall not do the things we dɔ," after having brought the native along the road of progress to a point where his might reasonably expect to be treated as a ratlonbl human being.
