Washington fans of Sen. Barry Gold-
water have been sporting the formula
“Au H20" as tags on their cars. They are
the chemical symbols for gold and water.
But one Jesse W. Sickafus of Laketon,
Ind., has come up with a topper. His for-
mula is “Ba Au H20.” Ba is the symbol
for barium, thus quite fitting for the sen-
ator’s full name—Barry M. Goldwater.
But the suggestion is accompanied with
a caution: “I would not advocate using
thi schemical compound for political pur-
poses, for while I cannot testify as to the
man, I can assure you that the compound
would prove very unstable.”

cusing, indulgent. Often they accepted the
ventures happily as proof of their young-
sters’ “popularity.”
For those parents who know or suspect
what goes on but do not care, not much
can be said to help. Those who would
act sensibly if they knew the truth ean
' do this:
When a son or daughter seeks permis-
sion to join the spring exodus to a resort
town, write or call the police of that com-
munity. They will gladly furnish the full
story of what to expect.
Ask your child how many youngsters
plan to travel in the car, whether the pro-
posed drivers are licensed, how long the
trip is and where and when they plan to
stop to rest.
Ask also where they will stay, how
many will be in a room and under what
conditions, what the room charges will be.
If parents who care get, full and truth-
ful responses on all these counts, they are
not likely ever to allow the adventure to
begin. But the beaches and beer joints
and rooming houses of the resorts will
still be jammed with the kids of parents
who cannot bring themseves to raise an
objecting hand.

students of French history ear-
ly decided Napoleon had mere-
ly ended an early phase of the
revolution that started in 1789.
Historians have been trying
to write the last chapter of the
French Revolution unto our
own day. But just as each crop
of historians has written finis
to its undated analyses, all hell
breaks loose In Paris. In the
new. chaos the next crop of
historians finds a new and
successful phase to the same
old French Revolution.
It is a safe guess that in the
year 2,000 A.D. (unless there
is a new phase that year' his-
torians will be referring to the
French Era (1789-1989 as the
Two Hundred Years Revolution
in the same manner that mod-
ern historians write of the First
Hundred Years War.

In the 173 years since the
fall of the Bastille and the de-

ernmental upheavals and major
constitutional changes—normal-
ly accompanied by some form
of revolutionary violence.
President de Gaulle did in-

with less violence than most.

Editor. Brownwood Bulletim:
I WISH TO aay a few words
about party loyalty. Many peo-
ple are seeking public office in
the coming Democratic primary
who have consistently been vot-
, tag Republican in the general
election.
HOW CAN a man havd the
unjmitigated gall to ask for of-
fice in the Democratic party
when he has consistentiy de-
serted the party time after
John Glenn near his church, the best and
the worst of America were for a brief
moment side by side.
Suppose this misguided young ruffian
had actually struck the astronaut. What
a picture for the nation and the world if
Glenn, the man who survived the hazards
of rocket flight, had had to display a ban-
daged face.
Glenn believes the boy and his crude
companions did not recognize him. But
this in no way alters the meaning of the
incident
if the offending teen-agers did not know
who he was, they first-off convict them-
selves of woeful ignorance. Secondly, his
identity is not the crucial matter. For
at that moment. Glenn simply was stand-
ing in for any decent American who
might protest youthful misbehavior.
Perhaps the most striking thing about
the episode is that it arrayed the disci-
pline of John Glenn against the all too
common undiscipline of a determinedly
irresponsible minority of Americans.
The astronaut’s discipline in his chosen
field is well established. But in the teen-
the baby is thrown out with
the bath water. De Gaulle haa
constitutional power to dissolve
the National Assembly, which
means every deputy would have
to run for re-election immedi-
ately. This is an unpleasant
thought’ to any politician.
Accordingly, they have be-
come a debating society in
which nearly all denounce de
Gaulle and everything he is do-
ing. They thereby inflame the
press and people and encour-
age further terror. At the
same time they vote for de
Gaulle’s policies, rather than
face the people for re-election.

We all know we live in a tense age,
what with the cold war, the threat of
nuclear extinction, radioactive fallout,
brush fire wars in distant lands.
Some observers have been' saying for
.years that the resulting tensions go far
toward explaining such diverse phenom-
ena as rock and roll, the beatniks, the
rise of crime, rampant mental illness.
But psychiatrists who took part in a
long study of such matters found that
“world tensions” seem to have little to
do with emotional or mental upset. Usu-
ally the causes are personal, relating to
family separation or conflict, job prob-
lems, money crises, illness, death.
World tensions surely exist. Evidently,
however, they have been serving too con-
.veniently as excuses for erratic or merely
foolish behavior whose root causes lie
elsewhere.
not content with merely being decent,
insistent on speaking and acting for de-
cency.
Oddly, not long after this event in Ar-
lington. Va.. U.N. Ambassador Adlai Ste-
venson—unaware of the episode—called
upon Americans to see Glenn as a vitally
needed symbol of dedication and disci-
pline. ,

tion is arising: When will the
Fifth Republic become just an-
other phase of the Two Hun-
dred Years French Revolution?
wu it be followed by a Six-
Republic? Will it be a “People's
Republic.” or a “Democratic
Republic,” such as the Com-
munists have misnamed their
flagrant dictatorships in Korea
and East Germany.

the kind of discipline and restraint which
we all need in some measure if our gen-
eration is to achieve great tasks, not only
in the upper air but here and now in this
bewildered and floundering world.”
Stevenson, properly, is not despairing.
He remarks the thousands of young Am-
ericans who volunteer for the rigors of
the Peace Corps, the uncomplaining mili-
tary reservists ,the dedicated young sci-
ence students, the countless “unsung citi-
zens” who apply themselves diligently
and faithfully to tasks which reward
them and serve their community and
nation.
Yet clearly he does*not believe this
spirit, this high self-control, grips enough
of us. The tyranny of the undisciplined
minority exerts a force beyond its num-
bers in what he calls this “slack age.”

The first pictures from Florida and
California are already going the rounds,
showing youngsters huddled on the beach
with guitar and beer can in hand.
«hese views come from some of the
many resort towns, most ranged along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, where
tens of thousands of young Americans
will assemble to spend their spring vaca-
tions. ’ . .
This mushrooming ritual of the young
has in fact become a wild exercise in
conformity, like the dogged dedication to
rock and roll.
What the ritual means for many is six
days of riot, promiscuity, forced fun and
boozy boredom. Milling about in search
of they know nobwhat, the youngsters—
upon challenge—inter their empty cry:
“We want booze!”
For weeks, police in the affected towns
have been solemnly preparing for the
invasions. The experience of recent years
has taught them to expect not only riot
but theft, injury to innocent persons,
reckless destruction of homes, apart-
ments, automobiles and other property.
Expert observers of the U,S. social
scene can expand endlessly-on the under-
lying meaning of this strange and in some
ways frighteing pilgrimage. They would
be hard-pressed to match the diligent
effort made by McCall’s magazine in a
special new report.
There is no need to review the bizarre
details of the annual visitations, except
to say they staggerthe imagination. These
are frolics in ‘ which “fun” grades easily
into vipiousness, and few dare to stand
out against the mass compulsion to mis-
behave.
Why the kids do *t is one story. But
the most interesting part of McCall’s in-
quiry is: Why do their parents let them
go?
Generally their parents supply the cars
they come in. the money they spend.
, Yet the magazine’s researchers found
many parents almost totally ignorant of
the conditions and purposes surrounding
these spring-time adventures. Those who
had a real inkling either yielded to the
pressures demanding youthful conform-
ity, or were just naturally permissive, ex-
viousky, he said
The cost-of-living index, steady
