NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Whenever I’m in the
French Quarter anywhere near the Fourth of
July and a funeral band struts by, I always think
it’s a shame Louis Armstrong didn’t go out that
way.

town. Like those other great American tes-
laments', the Declaration of Independence,
Stephen Foster and George M. Cohan, he was
bom on the Fourth of July.
Fifteen years ago, for an AP feature story, I
traveled with Louis Armstrong and his band
when they were doing one night stands in the
towns along the Ohio River.
In the darkness of the West Virginia night, as
the chartered bus caromed over the hills and
around the sharp curves, Louis spoke of his
beginnings and his end. He was bom in the New
Orleans red light district, placed in the Negro
Waifs Home, and, in his words, “was reared in
an ebony world of church people, gamblers, hus-
tlers, cheap pimps, thieves, prostitutes and lots
of children.”
His earliest memory was of standing in the
doorway of Sicilian Henry Matranga’s place on
Perdido watching the great Joe “King” Oliver
“sweet talk his trumpet with one foot on a big
brass spitoon and his cheek puffed out with wind
and a chaw of tobacco.”
His first break in life came at age six when
Bunk Johnson contributed a bugle to the or-
phanage. Louis grew up on that bugle and soon
he was sitting next to King Olive in Kid Ory’s
band. Next thing you know, he was heading up
the Mississippi, “into Mister Charlie’s country,”
to far away places, all the way to St. Louis, which
W.C. Handy made famous, and Davenport,
where Bix Beiderbecke, a white man, was doing
original things with the jazz taught him by
passing black musicians.
Long after the rest of the band were asleep on
those lumpy leather bus seats, Louis let out an
audible sigh that was almost in perfect con-
terpoint to trombonist Big Chief Russell Moore’s
baritone snoring. He spoke of Papa Celestin’s
funeral through the French Quarter and, then at
age 63 (he was born in 1900), of his own end,
which was less than a decade away.
“I know it’s corny,” he said, “but that’s the
way I want to go, with a band out to the cemetery
and back. I told my wife Lucille to give the boys
all the whiskey they want. Let them get good and
. snookered with Ol’ Satch, just so long as they
blow me home?’
When Louis died on July 6, 1971 the family
decided America’s ambassador with jazz por-
tfolio to the world deserved something less
parochial, more dignified. There had been some
criticism, long ago, when he agreed to be King of
Zulu in the all black mardi gras parade, so
maybe it was just as well at the end that there
was no mistaking the real king for a caricature.
Given his popularity, the passions involved, a
Dixieland funeral for the king bom on the Fourth
of July might have got out of hand.

JUL m ONEDAYONLI
Formation of Citizens for Tax Reform in 1978 was
announced the same day. The unusually broad coalition
included officials of trade associations, officers of major
corporations, leaders of labor unions and representatives
of senior citizens, black, hispanic, consumer and tax '
reform groups.
In an unprecedented move, the citizens' committee
sought to publicize the votes of representatives on
amendments proposed in the House Ways and Means
Committee — the seldom-noticed process that shapes all
tax legislation.
Formation of the citizens' group and plans to generate
constituent pressure on members of Congress for true tax
reform were bold, innovative steps — but that effort
proved to be too little, too late.
The national organizations that promised to carry the
tax reform message to their membership generally failed
to fulfill that commitment. “People just don’t take to the
streets to protect the DISC system,” says one committee
leader, referring to a special interest tax provision Carter
sought to eliminate.
The bill now likely to emerge from the Ways and Means
Committee will contain little of what Carter proposed and
a major reduction that he opposes in the capital gains tax.
As a result, the president may veto the legislation.
“The administration’s bungling of this operation went
well beyond the White House’s normal lack of political
agility,” concludes one participant in the ill-fated effort.
“It's unfortunately another case of Carter giving good
government a bad name.” . . . ._

Good gov’t; but bad name
By Martha Angle and Robert Walters
WASHINGTON (NEA) - President Carter’s first attempt ,
to mobilize a broad-based citizens' coalition to promote a
major administration program is on the verge of ending in a
failure. ]
' The issue around which Carter sought to muster grass- to
roots support was his well-intentioned but ill-executed tax %
reform program.
While the White House was responsible for the poor ■
timing, lack of coordination and inept staff work that "
contributed to the emasculation of the president's pro- J
gram, the blame must be shared by two other groups: K
, * The coalition of business, labor, civic and public 7
interest organizations that initially rallied under the
banner of “Citizens for Tax Reform in 1978” but never "
delivered the expected — and required — support of their
members.
* The millions of middle-income taxpayers whose
notoriously lethargic attitude toward public affairs re-
sulted in little backing for a White House proposal that
would have shifted at least some of the federal tax burden
from them to wealthier individuals and corporations.
Carter sounded the call for citizen participation in mid-
April, when he noted that "the voices we hear in
Washington when tax reform is proposed are the voices of
those special interest groups."
Added the president: “They are powerful, rich and
influential. They are present here through lobbyists,
spokesmen, lawyers and accountants, trying to protect the
selfish special privilege that has been carved out for them
in the past "
The administration's effort to activate a counterforce
began with an April 6 White House breakfast for more than
50 potential allies. “It was a top-drawer group, and the
State Room was jammed," recalls one participant
After brief speeches from Carter, Treasury Secretary W.
Michael Blumenthal and senior members of the White
House staff, those invited by the president were asked if
they would be willing to commit themselves and their
organizations to the grass-roots organizing campaign.
Those who expressed an interest were invited back to the
White House on April 17, when Carter invoked his florid
rhetoric in an appeal for backing from “average Ameri-
cans (who) foot the bill for the rich.”
