The San Is Really Francisco Beatnik Colony Out of This World, Man gether with half our Solar Question Do ants bones? Atswer: By bones, we mean the hard skeltons within our bodies. Since all the higher animals also have bones, we find it hard to imagine how a creature can manage without them.

Nevertheless, the insects and countless other small forms of life have no bones, no internal skeletons. Ants have no bones, since they are insect have Visiting the rookery of the great umvashed is like a romp through a manic-depressive ward. In the dens of murky conversation, the beatniks talk or don't talk, and even the washroom art tends to be otherworldly. In spite of all their talk, a sculptor says, about 98 per cent of the habitues of the area do nothing creative. SAUL PETT, Associated Press Writer y-'P'w) I pathy of staring at two coffee tourists by the outrageous similarity between their coats and pants.

One leaned over to a young man in a trench coat seated at a table. "Are you a beatnik?" asked the visitor. "Hell, no! I'm here like you, just looking." Outside, we walked up Grant Street, past an art gallery called "The Scene." The piece de resistance in the window was three rusty shovels real shovels with eyes drawn in chalk. The shovels were stuck in a bed of rotted boards and rusty nails. The title: "En Famile," which may or may not reflect the beatniks' scorn of family togetherness.

We stopped at another bar called The Anxious Asp. It had sawdust on the floor, nonobjec-tive pictures for sale on the walls and candles on the tiny tables. Business was slack. A man in a thin, ethereal mustache and a fore and aft Sherlock Holmes hat fluttered in, whispered excitedly to the bartender and fluttered out. Papered With Kinsey The washroom of The Anxious Asp had an interesting decor.

Seen from the earth, our glorious sun looks so large that no star can compare with it But that is because we are only some 93,000,000 miles away from it. All the stars are light years away, and a light year is equal to 'B'J AJKltb JCOia SAN FRANCISCO, March 28. As it pulls away from the edge of Chinatown and Lun Hing's Supermarket, Upper Grant Street draws a deep breath and climbs the aide of Telegraph Hill. There, suddenly, it ends in Endsville.

These are the century 'a new rebels clotted under the banner of the beat generation. What's it like, to drop in on Endsville, where they live, from Squaresville, where the rest of us live? It's like a walk on the wild side, a romp through a manic-depressive ward, a visit to a small planet where nothing is all, where silence is a language and gainful employment is a social disease. Our night out with the beats began at their Statehouse, which used to be called Herb's Delicatessen and now, after the disordered flippancy of its clients, is known as the Coexistence Bawl Shop.

The walls held signs and handprinted notes heralding jazz sessions and poetry readings, a big Cub Scout pennant featuring the words, "Be Square," assorted posters and scrawled questions, commands and legends such as: "Juice From A Sun-Kissed Albatross." "Did You Dig Gig?" "Have You Seen The Castrated Angel?" "Head The Testament From The Underground." Across the room, a pimply cheeked novitiate, no more than 19, sat in a catatonic stupor, star-ing through heavy Peter Lorrt lenses at his coffee, completely oblivious to the people, the place, the century. Was he alive or was he dead? Academic question, A bearded Negro, wearing corn-colored hair, blue beret and red sandals, walked over.

It had been a stimulating conver-sation. At the next table, another adolescent with wild curly hair sat playing chess by himself. With one hand he moved the chess pieces, with the other, he beat time in the air, to the cool jazz of the jukebox, and made noises in his diaphram.

To our left, a man and a woman. He had thick hair and a heavy red mustache and thick-tensed glasses and mournful eyes and generally looked like a Balkan spy who had just lost the blueprints. The woman wore Japanese straw slippers, tight black toreador pants and a dirty sweat shirt. Her blonde hair hung straight and stringy to her shoulders and her eyes looked glazed. To our right, a young man with distinguished blackheads and a mountain of hair and beard was explaining to a friend: "I've passed the beat stage.

You're beat when you're at the bottom of your personality. Note 1 know what I want. I've rea-son to lire, to go." "Are you writing?" Mural Explained "Not yet. But I'm finding the inner surrealistic meaning. I like it here.

In St. Louis, people look at you funny. Here, there is no obligation to do anything or be anything." Behind us, a young painter wis explaining himself and hts mural on the opposite wall. The picture showed a clown and a woman on a park bench. "It's abstract realism," said the painter.

"I painted the woman in yellow because women are cowards and conformists and I feel like a clown having anything to do with them but I couldn't help it. Anyway, that's why I painted her yellow." We looked again at the artist, but he wasn't smiling. We looked again at the woman in the mural. She was clearly painted blue, not yellow. "I've been arrested three or four times without cause," the artist was saying as we left.

We had more espresso at our next stop, The Coffee Gallery, which is two stores with the connecting wail knocked out. On the bar side, the place had the look of a club, with a bulletin board advertising jazz concerts, art shows, poetry readings and the sale of a second-hand motor scooter and gramaphone. Pinned to one corner of the bulletin board were letters for habitues.

Instead of the usual banal-obscenities, the men's room of The Gallery contained so eh homilies as: "Sex Is Holy, Sex Is Wild." "All Is Nothing, Noth-ing Is AH." "Free Ezra Pound." "Irony In Bars Does Not A Person Make." Outside, in the main room, sipping their espresso or beer, there were the pale-faced women in traditional black, men in open shirts, yachting caps, leather chauffeur's caps, sandals, tennis shoes. Near the booming jukebox, two bearded men shuffled in a slow rhythm, in barely perceptible movement. Many Art Imitators We talked with Bsniamino Bufano, a sculptor of genuine reputation and no beatnik. A gentle, quiet man in his BO's, Bufano estimated that only about 2 per cent of the beatniks in the area actually write, paint or do anything creative. "Many are just imitators, but there are some who work hard, as I do, 15 hours a day.

But let me say this for the beatnik. He is just a man who refused to comply with normal thinking. In that way, Einstein was a beatnik. So was Gandhi." Suddenly Padrie Sumni O'Sullivan appeared before us in high boots, handsome beard and plumed hat. He talked a purple streak.

Yes, it's the day of the Easter Rabbit, too, and Easter Egg Hunts, and other pleasant amenities all of them symbolic of Spring, the renewal of life and the rebirth of the year.

But, most important of all, and in a natural as well as a religious sense, it is the Day of Resurrection. Dead winter has been buried, a new cycle of life begins. Easter is indeed a new beginning, the fulfillment of faith and of things hoped for.
