WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE THINK
Beat Generation Has Few Fans
By EUGENE GILBERT
GILBERT Youth Research Co.

The emotional letdown after
World War / produced what
literary critics are fond Of call
ing THE Lost Generation.
Escapism reigned. It was the
hedonistic era of the Roaring
Twenties, of prohibition and
Bookkeeping, of American ex-
patriates like Ernest Heming-
way and Gertrude Stein living
the gay intellectual life on
Parts famed left bank.
Now it seems that World
War II, somewhat belatedly.
also has fathered a generation
all its own. It's been called
THE Beat Generation" The
accent still is on pleasure
madcap parties. speedy sports
cars and motorcycles, cool jazz.
lots Of loving and lots Of drink
ing-but pleasure no longer Is
an end in itself.
While THE Lost Generation
tried to get as much as 1t could
out of life, THE Beat Genera
ton" has altered the formula
without changing any Of the
ingredients. The idea still Is to
live life to the fullest but not
to enjoy 1t. The generation is
beat because Vt resists any kind
of emotional response about
anything.
The term Beat Generation"
was coined by Novelist Jack
Kerouac. the author of ION
the Road" which now serves
as a sort of manifesto for his
beaten followers whom he
claims are mad to live, mad
to talk, mad to be saved"
Adults readily believe the
first two articles Of Kerouac's
creed but strongly doubt the
salvation angle. So. 1t appears,
do most teen-agers.

Beat? Absurdr

According to 10 year old
Beth Davidson of Montclair.
N. j.. Ito be beat you must
think that the whole rest of
humanity is square and you
are the only one who knows.
It's all nonsense.
To Sc per cent of the teen
ayers the term Beat Gen.
Grafton" has no valid appli-
cation to themselves or their
friends. Said one Detroit teen
ager:
They've blamed just about
everything else on the teen
ayers, but they can't hang that
one on US. My crowd is any
thing but beat. We're alive.
They're dead and don't know
it."
The II per cent minority
who accepted the beat title
also had a spokesman.
"I guess beat is a fair
enough term" agreed lS-year-
old Ricki Goldberg of New
York City. After all you can't
say the lost generation was
really lost when you look at
this one. This is the even lost
er generation. The bottom. The
absolute least"
But The Beat Generation,
it would appear. is more beat
than it realizes. 1t will find
few prospects for membership
among the current crop Of
teen-agers. Most of them are
Just too busy to be beat.

A WELL-ESTABLISHED
READER.

I agreed intellectually
with those readers who wrote
in to your column asking
that you print the top ten
records of other DIS, espe-
cially the one from WEAM,
WPIK and WPGC.
Each of these radio sta
tons offers special attrac-
tons to teen-agers: WEAM
has it's Tops Telequest Time.
WPIK features Request Time
on weekdays and Saturdays.
WPGC Specializes in rock
and roll sessions throughout
the day.
/ feel that since teen-agerS
my age listen to these sta
tons quite often. it is a little
unfair to them to exclude
their favorite disc jockeys
from your popularity poll.
Also, some of your readers.
like myself, are incapable Of
receiving all of the radio
stations you now list because
of static resulting from the
distance we live from the
broadcasting station. There
fore, some of us know little of
the disc jockeys you publish
in TEEN. We have only the
reception from stations pos
sibly Offering 5000 or more
watts.
I would appreciate any
movement toward alleviating
this unfair condition. Please
be fair to your suburban
readers.

II you could devote at least

In the long run would work 10

the final analysis. the best In

a healthy company and a
strong economy"
No Union Comment
Mr.. Ford's statement was
printed in company newspapers
mailed TO the homes OF Ford
workers.
The Ford contract expires
June /.
Ken Bannon, director Of the
JAWS National Ford Depart
ment. said:
I'VE in the JAW know Ford
workers will be happy to receive
Mr.. Ford's letter In which he
expresses commendable concern
for their welfare. We also
know Ford workers remember
only too well the history Of
Ford Motor Co. and exactly
how the benefits that now are
theirs were accomplished.
"As one who has represented
Ford workers for the past II
years. / can honestly say !
can never recall Ford calling
the union in to propose addi-
tional benefits for the workers.
Every program which Ford now
lauds was suggested and de-
signed by the union in the first
instance.
The company's attitude to-
day is. unfortunately, the same
as it always has been--sphinx-
like opposition to any and all
programs suggested by the
union"
Demands Of Union
The JAW demands on auto
companies this year include a
request for a share Of the COM
pany profits from those firms
whose financial position would
permit such payment. The
( JAW also seeks wage boosts
,and other benefits which some
company spokesman have es-
timated at 20 cents an hour.
The JAW has said this esti-
mate is much too high.
Production workers in the
auto industry now average
S2.40 hourly.
Ford. while not mentioning
profit sharing directly, became
the second high Ford executive
to rap the JAW demands.
Ernest r. Breech, Ford board
chairman, said on January Ia
the JAWS proposals were ''un-
realistic" and "a complicated
kill-the-proflts plan which
strikes at the very roots of the
economic system which has
made and kept America
strong"
General Motors and Chryslct
expressed similar sentiments IN
January.

General Motors. Ford and

The Car makers would like a

there we're two possible areas
