"dangerous drugs."
All thev found wax a hand

Whether or not the victims

I the fact that the beatnik is
about as scarce as a Havana

menon called the Beat Gener
ation represents an era the
enduring colony of artists,
writers and other noncon
forming practitioners of the
seven lively arts would like
to forget.
And these serious Bohe
mians even have a clean bill
of health.
Keep to Selves
"C o n certed police action
got rid of the beatniks in
North Beach," reports Deputy
Police Chief Al Nelder. "The
present bunch are mostly le
gitimate artists and no prob
lems. They mind their own
business."
Where did the beatniks go?
They've scattered to the four
winds, some heading for Los
Angeles, New York, New Or
leans, or Mexico City.
The rest went back to
school, or, as a last resort be
fore total starvation or jail
for vagrancy, got jobs where
unsympathetic employers in
sist on shaven faces and a
complete set of clothes.
It was much different five
years ago when the full tide
of publicity broke over North
Beach and left upper Grant
ave. buried under the current
less pool of whiskered hip
sters, tangle-haired chicks in
leotards, vague-eyed "poets,"
"writers," "painters" and
other drifting, untalenled
flotsam whose common bond
was a carefully nurtured out
look that the world was a
"square drag."
Since then all but one of
the original Bohemian hang
outs, started by the restless
rebels of post World War II,
have folded.
For the present colony, now
wise as wolves, has learned a
hard lesson:
Tourist Lure
Too many public shenani
gans can turn a ripple of in
lerestine artists into an un
stoppable tidal wave of pen
niless phonies - and right be
hind it an invasion of the not-
so-penniless tourists.
The Bohemians still retain
an intense dislike for tour
ists with their ever nrpsspnt
cameras and the Indulgent at
titudes of people visiting a
zoo.
Enlerprisine showmen rush.
ed to fill the vacuum left by
the Beat Generation exodus,
and have opened a conglom
eration of rip-roaring night
spots along Broadway within
rock-throwing distance of ar
tistic upper Grant.
The tourist can find every
thing from clubs offering
New Year's Eve every night,
to imitation speakeasies with
hourly raids, to Paris-type
sidewalk bistros (warmed
against the foggy nights by
neai lamps), to jazz-blues, rag
time, Dixie or progressive.
, The tour bus no longer
stops at the intersection of
urant ave. and Green st., the
former crossroads of the Beat
Generation. The real art
shows are reclaiming spots
usurped by the pseudo artsy
craftsy establishments much
admired by visiting firemen.
So, if you're making the
rounds and some suspicious
character tries to sell you
some vitamin pills, don't
panic and turn him in to the
police as a beatnik.
He's probably just your
friendly druggest out on the
town.
NYSE Describes
Steps Taken To
Regulate Trade
New York- (UPD -The New
York Stock Exchange in its
annual report went into some
detail on steps taken the past
year to keep trading under
close supervision and regula
tion. The report was made pub
lic just about seven weeks
before the Securities and Ex
change Commission deadline
for submission to Congress of
the SEC report on a special
study of the securities indus
try. The study has been go
ing on for more than a year.
In his report to members,
G. Keith Funston, president
of the exchange, said the "ex
change is carrying out its
pledge to cooperate fully with
the commission's study."
Largest Market
The NYSE is the nation's
largest securities auction mar
ket, and its officials and mem
bers have an interest and a
stake in whatever the SEC
may recommend in the field of
additional regulation of secur
ities issuance and trading.
In the past year, Funston
disclosed, the SEC study had
"added more than $65,000 of
overtime and clerical costs to
our operation."
'Many aspects of the ex
change community's perform
ance were described and doc
umented, and literally hun
dreds of requests for specific
information were filled," said
the report. It said the $169,
000 was to pay "expenses
directly involved in assem
bling and preparing this mate
rial for the SEC."
Belief Reiterated
What the SEC will recom
mend in further legislative
steps governing the securities
industry is yet unknown, but
this year's NYSE report re
iterated the belief that self-
regulation is best for the ex
change.
Over the years, self-regulation
within the exchange
community has centered on
developing strengthening and
enforcing a rigorous code of
business standards, compati
ble with guidelines establish
ed by the federal and state
securities laws." It said. "It
is no secret that, in many
areas, tho exchange's stand-ards-and
those maintained by
many individual member organizations-are
considerably
more stringent than the gov
ernment requires."
