Beatniks On Sunset Strip
Make Squares Feel Square
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD (API - "Let's go
watch the beatniks," my friend
faid.
It sounded like a good idea. Aft
er all, this was a phase of my
own beat, the entertainment field.
Coffee houses are springing up
like mushrooms on Hollywood and
Sunset boulevards and other by
ways of the beat generation. So
we went.
Incidentally, It was author Jack
Kerouac who apparently set the
theme and the name of the beat
nik movement. In one of his ram
bling works, he is said to describe
a transition from being a dead
beat to a feeling of beatitude. The
generation might also be termed
as being beat (tired) and having
a beat 'jazzl. Take your choice

dark, narrow and loud iwilh the
efforts of a three-piece combo of
questionable jazz talent. 1 he small
tables were tightly parted with
young people. .They glowpred over
their cotiee cups.
We felt square in our coats and
ties. The males were in shirt
sleeves with blue jeans or cordu
roy pants: I had the feeling that
pnyone in a gray flannel suit
would have been banished. The
girls were in peasant skirts, Capri
pants, pedal pushers, clam dig
gers and whatever else they call
those pants.
A fellow in an open-necked shirt
and Ivy League pants came for
ward and reported in a Marlon
Brando-like mumble that there
might be a table in the balcony
We continued through the place
and into the back patio. It was
filled with tables surrounded by
more of the same. They watched
raptly as a young fellow plunked
a guitar and talked folk songs
There was a balcony above
this scene and a vacant, rickety
table where we ordered Italian cof
fee and chocolate at 65 cents a
cup. At those prices, beatniks
can't be poorniks.
We sat on the balcony and
watched the crowd as two other
folk singers took orer with their
guitars. "Why don't beatniks
laugh?" I asked.
"Because life is grim, life is
earnest, my friend said. They
can find nothing to laugh about in
this age of anxiety when the bomb
may fall any moment.
We had to admit that every gen
eration lost, beat or whatever
is compelled to seek its own fla
vor. We had beer. Glenn Miller
and Betty Grable. They have cof
fee, Elvis and the shade of Jim
my Dean.
Only one thing concerns me
Why don't they laugh?
Police Threat
Set For Test
NASHVILLE, Tenn. API-John
Kasper, professional segregation
ist from New Jersey, gave no in
dication of changing his ways aft'
er his third conviction on charges
stemming from his part in school
integration disturbances.
A jury of 12 white men convict
ed him Saturday of inciting to riot
on the opening day of school here
last year, and set his punishment
at six months in the workhouse
and a $500 fine just half the max
imum. As he waited for the verdict.
Kasper said he intended to go to
Memphis to test the threat police
have made to arrest him if he
tries to speak there.
After the verdict was announced
Rasper's followers crowded
around him. But ho soothed them,
saying:, ..
"It's all right, folks. 1 appre
ciate what you've done. We're go
ing to win the next one."
He is free in $2,500 bond pend
ing hearing on a new trial motion
Dec. 5.
He also is free in bond pending
appeal from a six-month federal
court sentence resulting from his
second conviction for violating a
court injunction in connection with
Clinton, Tenn, desegregation two
years ago.
He has finished serving a one-
year sentence for violating the
same injunction with time off he
was released last August.

COLUMBIA. Mo. AP) - An ob

of a Jewish student center at the
University of Missouri Sunday.

Rabbi Abraham Pimontel. di

The apparatus was doused In

startling bit of information. He
immediately took his find to Dr.
Carl Everstine, director of the De

and the authority on matters leg

Dr. Everstine confirmed the aw
ful truth.
The state's Great Seal bears no
more authority than that con
tained in any legislative rpsolu
tion. And even a Senate page
knows a resolution has no legal
authority.
This is what Judge Foster
found: .' '
A complete description of the
seal is found in the commission of
Cecilius Calvert, Lord Baron of
Baltimore, when it was sent to
the province in 1648.
Some 200 years later, in 1864.
the Maryland General Assembly
apparently thought it had found
an error in the coat of arms. A
joint resolution in that year adopt
ed a state seal to conform to the
arms of Lord Baltimore as found
On the title page of Baron's Laws
of Maryland, printed by Jonas
Green.
Two years later, however, in
1866. the lawmakers discovered
Green's interpretation of the seal
was erroneous. So a second reso
lution was passed, reverting to the
former seal.
Judge Foster says he has asked
Democratic State Sen. Raymond
Buffington Jr. of Baltimore to
correct this glaring oversight by
introducing a bill in the next Leg
islature to legalize the seal.
All this leaves one for the law
yers to kick around. If the law
requires a, law to bear the state
seal to be legal, whore docs that
leave Maryland's volumes of law

Gets Credit
SPOKANE (AP) - Advertising
was credited Saturday with being
responsible for the supremacy of
the Idaho potato in Eastern mar
kets. Norris Stettler, Pendleton, Ore.,
told the closing session of the Pa
cific Northwest Newspaper Ad
vertisers Executives Assn. he
could see little difference between
Idaho potatoes and those grown in
Washington or Oregon.
But, he said Idaho potatoes com
mand a premium price in the East
because of an advertising cam
paign begun mora than 30 years
ago by Idaho growers. The cam
paign resulted in convincing con
sumers of the superiority of the
Idaho spud, Stettler said.
Two association awards for best
display of advertising went to the
Seattle Post Intelligencer. The PI
was honored for the best cam
paign, one produced and de
veloped by salesmen Neal Mac
Neil and Fred Marshall., and for
the best all-around exhibit.

received an award for the best
single color advertisement and the

best multiple color ad.
The Fairbanks News-Miner was

That committee has been domi
nated for years by a coalition of
Republicans and Southern Demo
crats. With Congress under Dem
ocratic control, it is composed of
e Democrats and 4 Republicans.
Two of the Democrats are Chair
man Howard W. Smith of Virginia
and Rep. William E. Colmer of
Mississippi.
Smith and Colmer, along with
the four Republicans, have effec
tively bottled up in committee
many bills they opposed.
Legislation not cleared by a ma
jority of the Rules Committee has
difficulty reaching the House floor
for a vote.
The 21-day rule was adopted in
the 81st Congress, when Demo
