by HERBERT D. WILHolr

LOS ANGELES N-The tattooed
mark of the Pachuco has swept
across the nation as q symbol Of
modern-day youthful hoodlumism.
It's common form is a cross with
a sort Of halo of dots, made with
a pin or knife and ink on the web
between the thumb and forefinger,
or on the arm or chest. It puzzles
and worries civil and military au-
thorities in many areas, but in
Los Angeles it is old stuff, con-
sidered virtually passe.
Is it smart-aleck feeding of the
young ego, naive copy-cat activity
or a sinister secret terrorist or
ganization?
A Los Angeles authority, Police
1t. Richard D. Whitley of the ju-
venile detail and former command
er of the gang detail established
in 1913, said today he has no evil
dence of any national organiza-
ton of Pachucos.
On the contrary, he said, the
youthful gangs of this and other
large cities in which there may
be Pachuco members have no
formal organization; no officers,
dues, bylaws or rules. The fellow
who is the toughest and talks the
best is the leader; the s'organiza-
tom is confined to tight geography
ical or neighborhood boundaries.
The Pachuco tattoo has appeared
recently on 80 airmen at Chanute
Air Force Base, ILL.,; in Kansas
City; In Des Moines, Iowa, where
police called it Juvenile copy-cat
stuff; at Lakeland AFB, Tex; 2
Sampson ALB, Buffalo, N. Y; on
five AWOL men at Lockbourpe
ALB, Ohio; in Columbus and the
Ohio State Penitentiary; at TT.
Campbell, KY, and nearby Clarks-
vile, Tenn; on civilians in Omaha,
Neb., Chicago and New York; and
on two former bar girls in vice.
ridden Phenix City, Ala.
1t. Whitley, who flew to Chanute
to advise the military on the Pa
chuco problem, said:
81 am convinced that this recent
spread is simply symbol of un-
social youth. One boy hears about
it, or sees the mark on some
body else in Jail or in the military
guardhouse, and thinks it would
be a good idea to have his OWE
mark to boast about. Chances are
many haven't the slightest idea
what .Pachuco' means.

Tattooed "Pachuco' Mark Sweeps Nation As
Distinguishing Mark OF Youthful Hoodlunls

it's impossible to translate accu-
rately. We heard it as long ago
as 1914 and it came into usage in
1913 in the riot-fights between
zoot-suiters and servicemen in
Los Angeles.
"The term Pachuco came to the
coast from the FL Paso, Tex, Dor
der country during the war. It's
a Mexican slang expression orig
inally applied in derogatory mean
ing to the 'zooties'-the smart
alexis, toughs, hoodlums or what
ever you wish to call them Of
Mexican descent who wore long
coats, peg-top, ankle-tight pants,
duck-tail haircuts and thick-soled
shoes.
"But now it has lost that sig
nificance. It has been adopted, or
applied to, youngsters who are,
or think they are, toughs Of all
grades. But we find it no longer
applies only to Mexican-Americans.
The kids recently involved show
no pattern of nationality or race.
It's simply become a symbol as
ISOLATED with the very widespread
youthful gang problem.
Elm fact, the viciousness today
the knives, beer can openers used
as slashing weapons, saps, billies,
switch-knives, palm saps and guns,
the wanton cutting, beating or
shooting of victims without reason
go far beyond the original zoot-
suit or Pachuco troubles where
just plain fists frequently were the
only weapon. ]"
Whitley said one Caucasian youth
at Chanute had a "code Of Pachu-
co." rules including no rating
on fellow members, no cooperation
with authorities, helping each 9TH
er. He said that was the only in
stance he had ever encountered Of
such a "code" and he is con-

Preliminary Reports On Salk
Vaccine Effectiveness Vary
BY THE Associated PRESS


Preliminary reports on effective.
ness Of the Salk polio vaccine
range from Every encouraging
10 "much too soon" to tell.
These are the comments Of med
zeal men in counties across the
country where the vaccine was
administered to schoolchildren in
the second grade, most Of them
Z years old.
County health officers showed q
general tendency TO. keep their
fingers crossed until complete re-
turns are in, even though a major
ity said they 50 far had discovered
no cases among those vaccinated.
In some counties, there have
been polio cases among those vac
cinated. But health authorities
said the patients could have con-
tracted the ailment before receiv-
ing all three Salk shots.
The National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis is Withholding
comment on effectiveness Of the
vaccine until it gets q report on
! survey conducted independently
q the University Of Michigan.
A spokesman for the foundation
said the polio season has not yet
reached It's peak and counseled
against any premature findings.
The Every encouraging" report
came from DR.. Leon Banov Of
Charleston, s. c., Charleston Coun-
y health director.
s'As health officer for the coun-
T.. I am very much impressed
With the vaccine" he said.
He said there had been n polio
eases In the county since Jan. ]
and that not one child who re-
ceived the vaccine has contracted
The disease.
He noted that the only two z
year-olds who contracted polio had
not been vaccinated. He noted also
that one S-year-old contracted po-
10 while his brother, I, who had
received the vaccine, remained un-
affected.
The opinion that It is 'much
TOO SOON to determine results was
given by DR.. Russell E. league
Of Harrisburg, Pa, state health
secretary.
1.-THE incidence Of polio in Penn
sylvania Is usually at its highest
In late August and early Septem-
her," he told 4 newsman.
No cases have been reported in
Pennsylvania among children who
received the vaccine.
In New Jersey, Wallace B. Ed
gerton, state chairman Of the Ma
tional Foundation, said there had
been no polio among 15,774 pupils
who received the vaccine, but he,
Zoo, noted that this was no guaran-
tee for the full season.
State Health Officer Wilson T.
Sowder, in Tallahassee, Fla, said
there had been an unusually high
incidence Of polio in Florida this
year but that only one case had
been reported among vaccinated
children.
He said that case developed i'm
mediately after the child received
the vaccine and before it had time
b take effect.
The first case Of polio among
15.717 Indiana children who re-
ceived the vaccine was reported at
Fort Wayne.
None Of 16,772 Ohio youngsters
who took part in the vaccine test
Is known to have contracted po-
lio.
In Douglas County, Neb., where
$500 children received the vac
cine, none has contracted polio 90
far.

The Spades have profited
by recent scores such as DR..

Each team has won seven of

The Pansies have run into

we sincerely hope that their
luck takes a turn to the bet

feated them most recently
have Just had a $3.50 record
over the past month breaking

For the Morticians who
have won ten of their last

In the other match the ST..

the St. Rochus Churchmen,

pins. Philip Grasa of the
Lodgemen was tops with a
185 that he extended into 1863.
Charles Gojmerac continued
his fine work for the Church

tening his 156 average. Jo-
