WYNNE If you want a glimpse into the hearts and minds of those young boys and girls of yours, or if you want to recapture some of the magnetic dreams of your own youth, visit Disneyland. It's a fantastic adventure amid 1 gigantic carnival of such vivid realism that even the most jaun diced in mind or heart will suc cumb to its charms. . I spent one day with my older son and others riding on miniature trains, automobiles, boats and what have you. I rode on Dumbo the elephant, took an eerie trip into the mines of the Seven Dwarfs, journeyed deep into the darkest jungles complete with crocodiles, hippos, elephants, giraffes, goril las and savages, and rocketed to the moon and back. I saw the Grand Canyon as a cliff-dweller, complete with lightning and rain storm, visited aboard an old pirate ship and on and on until both mind and body coud take no more. I visited the castle and saw the legend of Sleeping Beauty, and even went 20,000 leagues under the sea. But we 0 n 1 y scratched the sur face. I guess we were in fron tierland, adventureland, storyland, pioneerland, tomorrowland and anywhere else you can name. And I loved It all just as much as did my 6-year-old son. And . . . believe it or not, the whole thing, complete with two plastic cap souvenirs, cost me only about HO. One of the secrets, In case you're planning a trip down Los Angeles way and Dis neyland, is to purchase the giant ticket books at the entrance booth. Also, leave the souvenir con cessions1 alone, they run high. Otherwise, I feel like my young son who said, "Maybe we can go back next year and see more of Disneyland, huh?" 5,000 words or so daily, and never lolder workers lose in quickness, waits lor inspiration. agility, and muscular power they 'I don't believe there is any such thing," he said. "Inspiration is a kind of myth promoted by pseudo-artists who live in Green wich Village; If writing is your profession, you sit down and write whether you are inspired or not." Playing iind By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) - Novelist Evan Hunter, a young man with 1 gift for controversy, is winning fame and fortune by playing God. "You have to do that when you ire at the typewriter," he said. "And you have to be an egotist. "You can have your own inse curities and doubts when you're not writing. But when you're in that room with just yourself, the machine and the paper you have to play God. You have to feel In control, and you have to believe people want to hear what you have to say. "If you begin to doubt this, you ean't write." Few doubts seem to have as sailed Hunter. At 31, prolific be yond his years, he has produced 175 stories, some 30 novels and three plays, written under his own name and at least four pseudo nyms. Total output: More than three million words. "I'm not really happy unless I'm writing," said Hunter, who is dark-haired, blue-eyed, and stands slender six feet. "I feel guilty." Evan, a former schoolteacher, Is equally adept at writing science fiction, mysteries, sport stories and children's books. But his main recognition has come from prob lem novels. In 1954, he stirred up a literary storm with "The Blackboard Jun gle," an 80,000-word portrayal ol teen-age savagery in the school room. He turned out the book in exactly two. months. It has sold more than two million copies. "I sold the movie rights for only $35,000," he said ruefully, "and the picture earned more than million dollars." Hollywood paid $150.0(10 for his latest book, "Strangers When We Meet." This novel, which blasts the lid off "the coffin of subur bia," already has gone into a sec ond printing, and has drawn bbth huzzahs and brickbats from com muters. Hunter sturdily defends his at tack against the conformity which he feels blights the lives of thous ands of American families living in new suburban housing develop ments. "After the crabgrass has been picked, when do they 'ive? They have all got their stupid dream, but the dream really has them! "One day they'll wake up and realize they're living In a ceme tery for young people. They'll rea lize their dreams are dead, Joo. "What is the answer? The an swer Is for them to realize they can close their front door as well as leave It open, and that they don't have to lose their own iden tity in 1 mob structure."' Hunter himself has escaped that "60-by-lOO-foot green coflin" he complain about. He lives with his wife and three sons in a lO room house on four-acre estata be yond the suburbs. There he methodically tuns out Age Problem By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (AP)-The current enthusiasm for reproduction and the equally amiable yen of more and more persons to live longer and longer what are they doing to the economy? And what will they do in the years ahead . when the proportion of those who mainly support that economy the working age group of roughly 20 through 64 grows smaller? The baby boom is moderating a bit as the industrial recession cuts into the marriage rate and damp ens slightly the enthusiasm for large families. But the rapid in crease in recent years in the num bers of those under 20 already is affecting the economy through mounting needs for schools, hous ing, roads and other public works Soon the first of this great crop of erstwhile moppets will be reaching marrying age and bar ring a real depression will be starting new families. Some 36 per cent of the population is now under 20, compared with 34 per cent a generation ago. Some be lieve the trend will continue and reach 40 per cent. At the other end of the age spectrum, life expectancy con- stantly is being lengthened. The total of those over 65 is approach ing 9 per cent of the population, compared with 6 per cent a gen eration ago, and perhaps will be come 10 per cent a generation hence. These twin problems are chosen by 2 of the 50 winners of a contest on "What is the most important economic problem to be faced by the United Slates in the next 20 years?" for which the Committee for Economic Development is pay ing out a total of $25,000 today. Robert J. Lampman, research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, says the United States must face up to paying the price for higher fertil ity. Miriam Allen DcFord, San Francisco free-lance writer, sees our senior citizens becoming our biggest problem if we don't change our ways. Lampman sees the remarkable rise in enthusiasm tor reproduc tion as posing two problems: 1. As ewer persons proportion ally will be in the working ages per capita economic output will fall. He believes this can be over come only by putting more work ing age persons into the labor force for longer hours of work, increasing labor mobility, raising the amount of capital goods per worker and encouraging more rapid technical progress. 2. A greater share of the na tional product must go lor schools, housing and public services if our social fabric isn't to fray. Pre sumably this means even higher taxes. Mrs. DeFord has a different solution to a similar problem that as the proportion of Ameri cans over 65 increases there'll be growing pressure on the present means of supporting them. A mi nority lives on savings and invest ments, a larger number on indus trial and union pensions, helped by federal Social Security pay ments, and some look to stale and local relief. But what they really need, she holds, is the chance to go on mak ing money. She argues: "What are all around you . . , maybe you're one of them! ' Not too long ago an Irrespon sible person took my wheel. He was just too indifferent to handle me efficiently and safely. Not will ing to attempt to drive well, he was satisfied just to get by but this time he didn't! I know of three causes of acci dents (1) those caused by pedes trians, (2) those caused by the ro"T. ,' V ,l defectsdn the highway or in the vehicle itself. There are several things you and your community can do to help. (1) Take an active gain in reliability, conscientious ness, and the command of proc esses which is the result tf ex perience only." She says it is notorious that men over 40 and women over 35 find it extremely difficult, almost impossible, to secure jobs." She wants industry to change its retirement rules to give its work er an even break with farmer and forced to retire. Then there'd be enough workers to support both the children and the extremely aged. .

WALZER UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI (-America's shipyards should hum with ac tivity in the next decade while the nation's subsidized shipping lines replace some 300 to 350 ob solete ships at a cost of around $2 billion. And the financing of these ven lures will bring out a new type of security federally-insured ship mortgage bonds. The Grace Line is expected to be the first to offer such bonds publicly for the construction of two ships the Santa Rosa and the Santa Paula. The Santa Rosa already is near- mg the time for its first cruise set for June 26. The Santa Paula will be completed later in the year. Each replaces vessels ol similar names in the Grace fleet A group of big name invest ment banks will underwrite the new bonds for the Grace Line. It is headed by Merrill Lynch. Pierce, Fcnner Smith and eludes Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtiss: Smilh, Barney & Co.; White Weld & Co.; and F. Eber stadt & Co. The bonds will run for around 20 years and will be paid off serially. Insurance rates will be paid by the shipping line. According to the current issue of investor's , reader, published by Merrill Lynch, the yield proba- oiy will be considerably below the going 5 per cent. These bonds will have better marketability than privately placed mortgages which also are 100 per cent in sured. Unlike Public Housing Author- uy Donds these will not be tax exempt. And since they are in sured by the government thev will not have to be registered with the Securities & Exchange commission.

(AP) A run off election to decide the Demo cratic nominee for governor is scheduled June 24 between brnest F. Hollings and Donald Russell. Hollings, 36, a Charleston attor ney now serving as lieutenant governor, ran ahead of the 52- year-old (ormer president of the University of South Carolina in the Democratic primaries yester day. Third in the field was Mayor William C. Johnston of Anderson, brother of U.S. Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-SC). The mayor con ceded defeat. Nearly complete but unofficial returns gave Hollings 140,779 votes, Russell 118,638 and Johns ton 80,280. Party noriiination is equivalent to election in this heavily Demo cratic state. Gov.

He could pick winners too. He built up a fortune and a palatial home here that cost him $150,000. Furnishing cost $50,000 more. But, as often happens, the odds turned against him. He forgot to pay the government his income tax from 1942 to 1948. It was at his trial that he testi fied about the black bag with the million in it. Internal revenue agents fihured the tax bill at $1,341,280. Lewis spent 10 months in prison two years ago for income tax evasion. But the time in prison did not satisfy the government bill. Lewis has been ordered to pay up. Free of prison and now 68 he sat in his 26-by-44-foot living room looKing at the $20,000 carpet cov ering the floor. He made a raDid calculation.
