Newspaper Page TextPolice and Tourists Infiltrate Beatnik Area of San Francisco's Grant Avenue San Francisco-WPD-The fuz7 and the squares are making the whole North Beach scene a drag for the Beat Genera tion these days, man. Translated into conformist talk, daddy -that means the police and the tourists have infiltrated the hallowed blocks of San Francisco's up per Grant ave. where the beards, bongoes and babe filled leotards once held ex clusive rights. The Beatniks are still cool ing it, though. Only now it's hard to sip a beer or a cup of espresso and stare bitterly into space in peace. If the fuzz aren't trying to book somebody on a vagrancy charge, the squares from No wheresville, U.S.A. are shuf fling up in their people clothes trying to take pic tures. And to compound the woes of the anti-materialistic set, the owners of the art shops Sen. Kennedy Is Favorite of Oregon Students Middletown, Conn. - Sen. John F. Kennedy is the favor ite Democratic candidate of Oregon's grade and high school students, according to a presidential preference poll conducted by Wesleyan uni versity. Kennedy ran far ahead of four other Democratic hope fuls, but Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon, the only Re publican on the ballot, polled the highest vote. The total Democratic vote, however, was more than 400 higher than Nixon's 3,128. Stevenson Second Kennedy had 2,265, follow ed by Adlai Stevenson with 479, Sen. Hubert Humphrey with 348, Sen. Lyndon John son with 242, and Sen. Stuart Symington with 202. Sen. Wayne Morse led the write-ins with 79 and New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefel ler was second with 46. The vote was conducted through three of the national current affairs periodicals published by Wesleyan - Cur rent Events, Every Week and Our Times. In the national vote, con ducted in more than 32,000 classrooms in SO states, Nixon, running as the only Republi can on the ballot, received the largest total of any individual with 441,902 votes. Kennedy, however, led the five Demo crats on the ballot by a wide margin, and the total vote cast for Democrats exceeded the total cast for Republicans including, in both cases, write-ins. Nearly one million students in grades 6 through 12 voted. S1S.466 for Democrats Final counts for individuals on the ballot showed these totals: Nixon 441,902 Kennedy 324,065 Stevenson 56,626 Johnson 52,812 Humphrey 46,093 Symington 31,137 Write-ins 12,857 Total 965,492 The Democrats received 515,466 votes, including write ins, or 53.4 per cent of the total vote cast, and the Re publicans received 447,805 votes, including write-ins, or 46.4 per cent of the total. The remaining .2 per cent were scattered write-ins for persons not readily identifiable by party. Kennedy led all other Dem ocrats candidates in 48 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, losing only in Tex as and Missouri to native sons Johnson and Symington. Nix on received the highest In dividual vote in every state but Connecticut, Massachu setts, Missouri, Rhode Island, Texas, Wisconson and the Dis trict of Columbia. Kennedy carried all of these except Missouri and Texas. The Democrats carried 29 states and the Republicans, 21. Search Continues For Bomber in Lake Hill Air Force Base, Utah-(tPD-Alr and ground crews re sume their search of Great Salt Lake and Its northern shoreline at dawn today for the wreckage of a downed B58 supersonic bomber and two crewmen. Only concrete result ot Sunday's dawn to dusk opera tion was the discovery of a large piece of the craft's tall section on the east shore of the lake, northwest of Prom ontory Point, late in the after noon. An Air Force spokesman said it appeared the wreckage had been washed ashore, which supports a survivor's statement he thought he saw the bomber crash Into the lake Friday afternoon. ind bars are being corrupted oy prosperity. The squares eep bringing fistfulls of bread (money) on their jaunts around the edge of Telegraph Hill. Since the owners natur ally dig bread, they are stock ing up on all sorts of square things, like "paint the num bers" do-it-yourself oil paint ing kits and paper towels in the lavatories. It's wigging the whole movement, man. Like, for example, the orig inal headquarters of the Beat Generation, The Place, has folded. The far-out proclama tions of "Blabber mouth Night," when anyone could climb up to the balcony and protest loudly about anything (the best protestor got a fifth of champagne) are just echoes in the minds of a few. Big Daddy Barred Eric "Big Daddy" N o r d, once the father-confessor of North Beach, has been 86'd (barred) from the area. The fuzz also closed his warehouse Party Pad where for a buck one could bring in a jug of red wine and mambo to an impromptu bongo band from midnight to 4 a.m. The Bread and Wine Mis sion has just been closed for six months. The mission, an opposite of the "beans for hymns" arrangement, may not reopen after its founder gets back from a much-needed vacation. Pierre Delattrc, Congrega- tlonallst minister, who In the last year and a half has help ed to start many an aspiring artist and writer working in his field, said quite a few of the talented Beats are moving away from North Beach or no longer sitting in on Beat affairs. The mission kept religion well in the background. It of fered a place where one could read his poetry aloud, exhibit paintings, use the printing press, take advantage of the well - stocked library with everything from St. Thomas Aquinas to Sartre, or Just sit around and sip coffee. Delattre, in his working clothes of sweatshirt and kha kis, was ollen mistaken for one of his followers. He ad mitted there weren't many ar tistically-ambitious bohemians left who sought the facilities of the mission, adding that phonies-' the spiritually dead and the culturally stagnant'' were growing beards and slipping on sandals and out beating the Beats. Paddy Goes Square And to top it off, Paddy (Padric Seamus) O'Sullivan, poet and roving landmark in North Beach, has shaved off his wild mustache and goatee. doffed his 17th Century plumed hat and cape and started to wear square clothes But don't let the above bug you, Clyde. The Co-Existence Bagel Shop and the Coffee Gallery-the kitchen and liv ing room of the Beatniks-are still swinging. Painting and photography exhibits, poetry and essay readings and the weird riffs of modern jazz are still regular nightly attrac tions. If you've got enough bread to buy a round of beer, and the ability to not alienate the inhabitants, you can still find somebody who will discuss Zen Buddhism, existentialism, outer space or the aesthetic appreciation of sex. That is, if you can fight your way through the fuzz and the squares. Oh yes-and then, too, hey you can still run across chicks In black skirts, black leotards, black turtleneck sweaters and long black hair who will slink up to you, give you a sloe eyed onceover and say: "Hey man-you got 25 cents?
