What makes a young American smash
windows in am empty home, burn pile
of library books, tear up a cemetery?
Social scientists say it's something
called ~anOmie." IL you're parent or
taxpayer you'd better know about it
WE ARE FACING a sudden upsurge of sinister
problem juvenile vandalism. Tombstones have
been uproOted, plate-glass windows broken, high
ways set a6re by trails of gasoline, vacant homes
wantOnly ruined, theaters, buses and other public
places defiled and defaced.
Parents, stunned by headlines in their local
newspapers, are demanding to know why. What is
the meaning of this senseless destruction? What
makes the son of a respectable businessman throw
a rock through church window? What makes the
daughter of a PTA president break into a house
and smear ketchup on a carpet? And perhaps
the most important question of all - how can you
keep your child from becoming vandal?
Recently we visited various parts of the United
States where outbreaks of vandalism have occurred
We talked to the young vandas themselves, to their
parents and to teachers police chiefs and govern
ment officials. Among the latter was Katherine B.
Oettinger Chief of the us. ChiIdren's Bureau
The cost: 500 million a year
Authorities estimate that as many as one out of
five Of our young people is participating in ire
spOnsibe destruction of public and private property
The yearly cost may be more than one hundred
million dollars. The picture, we discovered, is
changing to the point where it can almost be con-
sidered new kind of crime.
Vandalism used to be associated almost solely
with bad boys from deprived backgrounds" Mrs.
Oettinger said, but juvenile vandalism now involves
increasing numbers of youngsters from apparently
respectable families in middle and upper-income
neighbOrhoods, and the incidence is rising
Records show that today vandals are not only
far more vicious and more destructive, but many
are shockingly callous. Here are some examples:

Albertz said there was no rea-
son for such fears. He said the
city acted only in agreement
with the West German govern
ment and the Western Allies.
He said the technical, prac-
teal contacts" with the Commu-
nists did not constitute recogni-
ton. Western Allied sources dis
agreed and said West Berliners
would not have accepted the
visiting passes If they realized
the political cost.
West Berliners took advan-
tage Of their passes Sunday In
record numbers, with 154,621
crossing into the Soviet sector

high was 10000 on Saturday.
The crush caused an unprece-
denied traffic jam of automo-
bileS, buses, street cars, baby

since the Communists built their
wall in August, 1861, has East
Berlin seen such traffic.
West Berlin Mayor Willy
Brandt indicated he was willing
to hold new talks with the Com

East Germany because it has
sought to avoid giving the Com

Strike Hits Gas
Utility In State

JACKSON, Miss. CUPID -
About 200 members Of a chem
|ical workers union formed pick.
ct lines at the Mississippi Val
ley Gas Co. here today because
of a contract dispute.
Hubert Mills, president Of In
ternational Chemical Workers
Union Local SOB, said the work
ers went on strike at 6 am. He
said the strike would affect
about 1872 towns and cities in
North Mississippi.
Mills said the striking work
ers composed the gas COM
pany's service and maintenance
crews.
Harry L a m b d n, executive
vice president of Mississippi
Valley Gas, said the company
would continue to render serv-
ice to our customers because
we are a public service"
Mills said union members had
worked without a contract since
October and the main issue in
volved was in the management
rights clause in the contract.
I'VE are in favor Of having an
impartial arbitrator settle the
dispute" said Mills, ''but Mis-
Sissippi Valley will not agree"
He said representatives Of the
gas company and union had
been asked by Jackson Mayor
Allen Thompson to meet in the
mayors office today to discuss
the situation.
Mills said members held off
calling the strike until today
because of recent ice and snow
conditions, especially in the
northern sections.

British Commonwealth Rela-

announced today both Greek
and Turkish Cypriots have ac-
copied his proposal for a neu-
trail zone along the cease-fire
line in Nicosia.
The cease-fire lire was set up
Saturday. Sandys' plan laid
down the withdrawal Of Greek
and Turkish Cypriot fighters
from their strongholds along the
line and the establishment Of
the neutral zone by British
troops.
SandyS took the proposal to

Greek Cypriots.
British High Commissioner
Sir Arthur Clark carried it to
Vice President Fail Kuchuk's
residence at noon for his ap-
proval on behalf Of the Turkish
ICypriot community.
A half-hour Of sharp gunfire
in Nicosia Sunday broke into
the tense truce but there were
no reports Of casualties. Last
weeks battles and snipings on
the island were estimated to
have killed 200 persons.
The crisis centerS on PreSi-
dent Archbishop Makarios's
plan to change the three-year-
old constitution. The constitu-
ton, as it now stands, gives
certain minority rights to the
Islands TurkS-who make up
only 20 per cent Of the popuIa-
ton here-and these Turks fear
any change will wipe out these
rights.

Adm. Riekover
Warns Industry
On Profiteerinq

WASHINGTON CUPID - Vice
Adm. Hyman G.. Rickover, in
testimony published today,
warned the defense industry ii
was endangering free enterprise
by seeking undue profits
from government contracts.
Rickover called for new
ground rules to make sure that
taxpayers get all they pay for
when the military buys weapons
systems and other complex
equipment on which real COM
petitive bidding is not practical.
He charged unidentified con-
tractors with having hidden ex-
cess profits through such de-
vices as overhead charges and
Subcontracts with divisions of
their own companies.
Rickover called for new pro-
cedureS under which the gov
eminent could study in advance
cost estimates and other factors
involved in a contractors sales
offer.
Asked whether his remarks
implied a criticism of the free
enterprise system, the published
transcript showed that Rickover
replied:
81 think that il the free enter
prise system does not start do
ing some Of these things to cure
some of its ills, these ills them
selves are going to do away
with the free enterprise system.
/ am all for a free enterprise
system, but freedom to set a.
price is not license to make un-
due profits from your own gov
eminent"
The peppery admiral's blast
at alleged defense profiteering
came in testimony at a closed

preparations subcommittee on
