Qmc Getcher and Other Goodies Evening Journal, Wilmington, Del. Wednesday, July 12. 1972 The Flamingo Park Lineup Shou Id Be Numbered By AI Cartwright solutely no discipline. How can you expect kids to respect elderly citizens if they don't respect their parents? WheJ we were kids at home, my old man would just give us a look heads. As generation gaps go, this is the Grand Canyon.

FLAMINGO Park is in the middle of an old Jewish community. The neighbors now have something to talk about besides blood pressure, dentures and hearing aids and something else at which to stare besides the palm trees. ed marijuana. Lots of girls, and how very young they are. One was pregnant.

I doubt if there was a bra in the crowd. This particular afternoon, at least, it was happy group. I saw only one intramural squabble. One gamey young man was screaming at another. "If you want your censored picture taken, go to Holly- one of their pep rallies.

A fatso in a purple shirt was the cheerleader. "Gimme a G. Gimme and And so on, through G-A-Y P-O-W-E-R. For an ending, they yelled, "How we gonna get it? Recognition! Recognition!" I gave their cheer a plus. If they at-tempted to spell out homosexual, they'd wilt.

Zippies, hippies, maybe even schmippies. Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Students for a Democratic Society. A group beneath a flag of Israel, where a beard with a guitar and a good voice led a chorus of "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." On the fringe, a tall Arab boy argued with a husky Jewish boy, who was saying "History tells me I am going to get kicked out of this country." LOTS of beards and hair and the sweet smell of activat MIAMI BEACH Flamingo Park is where the non-delegates hang out some literally, they tell me, although I didn't catch their nightly skinny dipping act in the swimming pool. My first reaction: A guy could make a quick buck by printing and selling programs to identify the groups.

You can't tell the demonstrators without a scorecard. Some you can. The Zippies, by their T-shirts. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference representatives are the ones sacking out in the pup tents in downtown Resurrection City II. I saw a hairy guy painting a crude sign for the Civil Rights Alliance of Buddhism.

AND I identified the gay people because I happened on Middle East. This one says Zippies. I'm for them, because I'm for the legalization of marijuana. I've smoked it since the ninth grade. It opens my head, quite clearly.

I was on the stronger stuff, but I saw what it did to me. It made me no longer human: it made roe not care about other people. So I got off it, all by myself. I'm talkin' about heroin." DAVID floated away with a parting shot: "Try some marijuana while you're here. You'll like it." A little moustache with a bullhorn made an announcement: "I just got word from the medical wagon.

There's some strong LSD going around, a green sugar cube, 100 per cent. If anyone is taking his first trip, be careful. It's kind of strong." To which there came this retort: "Where can we get it?" I introduced myself to a 70-ish i couple who said they were Mr. and Mrs. Morris Hershkowitz, "from across the street." He is a retired dry cleaner from New York! Morris, he's disgusted with the whole picture.

Sylvia, she is not quite willing to condemn A LA wood!" This in apparent complaint to the latter's hogging a TV interview. It is a strange scene. Not because of the conglomeration of demonstrator types. That's old hat, and also old pot. But it has almost a fairgrounds look.

Little old Jewish people wander around, quietly talking to the kids and mostly going away shaking their gray Sylvia said she and her husband come to the park every day. They bring food, but they will not contribute money. A youth came around with a can asking for money with which to buy food for the camp and Sylvia said, "go dig a little ditch." "I don't beg for my meals, never," said Morris. "The youth of today, certain youth, is absolutely impossible. You should have seen the sign they printed here yesterday.

Such" words I wouldn't repeat and that's why we give no money Oi vey, what words." Sylvia said she approved of the city's donating the park. "The best thing they could have done. Otherwise, these people would be all over the city. And when a city agrees to hold a convention, it can't just take care of the money people." I checked out the community bulletin board. Somebody wanted a ride to "New York or Toronto." One scrawl read "Good marijuana wanted: apply within." You were invited to sign up for "basic and intermediate yoga lessons." There was a poster for a "Fretshare feast an acre of watermelons sculptured as Nixon's face for you to devour." I encountered Lou Cohen, and his bald little buddy Sam Katzman, 73, retired machinist and plumber from Buffalo and Detroit, respectively, "A circus." said Cohen sad at top and bottom: "Peoples do not deface." I saw no policemen.

I did see medi-c a 1 trucks, city workers hooking up impromptu drinking fountains to lawn sprinklers, groups of volunteer "ombudsmen" from the bar association and the YMCA. A tall, unkempt youth said hello to me. He looked stoned. He was shaggy and had several teeth missing. I asked him what his name was.

I'm David from Texas, that's all you need," he replied. "I'm for peace, 24 hours a day. I just came down from Washington. I travel all over the country." David had a handful of buttons. "This one says McGovern," he said.

"He's the lesser of all evils. I think he'll get us out of Vietnam, but he'll-start a war in the Top Labor May Sil Out Election Probably Won Support McGovern MIAMI BEACH (UPI) -Top labor leaders today threatened to sit out a Nixon-McGovern presidential race, even as they pressed a seemingly futile effort to deny Sen. George McGovern the Demo If Strange Choice Emerges As a Party Dynamo when it was time to go to bed. No words, just a look. We went." "DEGENERACY, is what it-is," added Cohen.

"But this is a bad town anyhow. I got mugged twice in New York City, but it ain't any safer here. Don't kid yourself. This is a tourist town, and they don't want to discourage the tourists. Half the crime never gets in the papers." There was a stand plugging "Young Socialists for nesse Pulley'." A chubby girl wore a "John Yoko" button A handsome boy in a DevorJJ Paint hat came around collect-'' ing for "Green Power" to buy food and I laid a quarter on him and asked him what his action was.

That is a contemporary saying I thought would impress him. "I'M not with anybody I'm just helping," he said. "See that skinny black cat over there? Name is Cleo, he rousts out the food. He and that big hi.r dude in the leopard-skin body shirt. They can help you." Cleo was on a loudspeaker encouraging the sightseers to contribute.

"It takes a lot of money to buy food like meat and vegeta'-; bles," he barked. Cleo, baby, that is hardly a news flash. I could have told you that. And Morris and Sylvia and Sam and Lou, too. If you're looking for common ground, stay with that.

I9ith day vf year Dept. of Commerce TIDES AT MARINE TERMINAL "ANIMALS go to pasture, and these are animals, too," said Morris. "I'd like to slap 'em left and right." "You can't generalize," said Sylvia. "You can't write off all the youth. They're so young.

Two years later they might be something else. Let's hope." "What youth?" demanded Morris. "Some are 30, 35 years old." "Don't look at the rotten ones," said his wife. un ly. All tnis mary-joo-anna, they shouldn't allow it.

If the politicians weren't corrupt, this wouldn't happen." Katzman agreed. "Ab 11 eilnesday, July 12, 1972 Staff Photo by Ctiuck McGowen LISTEN!

A draw counts half a point and a win a point.

To dethrone Spassky, Fischer needs 12Vz points while the Russian can retain his crown with 12 points. The winner will get $153,125, the loser $91,875, and in addition they will divide equally an estimated $55,000 or more from film and television sales. The second game of the match is scheduled for tomorrow and the third Sunday. The contest may last two months.

Fischer was reported still' asleep at noon. Discussing the game with newsmen. Spassky said: "When you are playing a man like Fischer, you have to watch all the time." Asked if he watched the whole board when he played, Spassky said. "No, 1 watch two or three pieces where the effort is concentrated." (Spassky) RxR K-Bl K-K?

The lanky Brooklyn, N.Y., challenger galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal to snatch an unprotected pawn Spassky had offered.

A few moves later the bishop was trapped and lost in exchange for two pawns. U.S. grandmaster Robert Byrne said it was a blunder and commented, "Fischer is going to have trouble making a draw. 1 don't see how Spas-sky can lose." International grandmaster Isaac Kashdan termed Fisch-e a a miscalculation by the American genius." He said it gave Spassky good prospects for a win. Svefozar Gligoric, the Yugoslav grandmaster, said, "It is doubtful whether black can save a draw." Spassky, who had the first move, is playing the white pieces.

Fischer the black. Fischer has piayed Spassky five times before, losing all three times he played the black pieces and getting draws both times he played the whites and had the advantage of the first move.

FRANK Evening Journal Convention Bureau MIAMI BEACH A little less than 24 years ago, Harris McDowell chairman of the Delaware Democratic Party, invited a young law student to handle public relations for I he organization. The youth was Ernest S.

Wilson Jr. The stipend was about $10 a week. The selection was a strange one because Wilson was the son of a staunch Republican, Ernest S. W'non Sr. TODAY the younger Wilson, now 45, is the son-in-law ol McDowell and is also heading the campaign to capture Delaware's three electoral votes for Sen.

George McGovern of South Dakota. This is no! the first time Wilson has been in a managerial position for political candidates. In 1952, he managed the campaign of Alexis I. du Pont Bayard. Democratic candidate for U.S.

Senate. Bayard was defeated by John J. Williams, Republican. He was among the leaders of the unsuccessful campaign of James M. Tunnel! for nomination to the U.S.

Senate on the Democratic ticket. FOUR years ago. Wilson was the leader of the Robert F. Kennedy campaign for the presidential nomination, which ended in tragedy. About a year ago Wilson, known for his libera! concepts in government, was recruited by the National Committee for McGovern for President.

Wilson invited Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Sloan of Brandy wine Hundred and others to join him. Now Wilson and his wife, Kendall, comprise the most active political man-wife team in Delaware, outside, perhaps, of incumbents or candidates. MRS.

representative from Delaware. The Wilsons not only are a team in politics but also in the cause of people who believe their civil rights have been infringed. Mrs. Wilson is executive vice president of the Delaware Chapter of the American Civil. Liberties Union, and both have spent hours particularly trouble.

handling cases, affecting youth in They started their McGovern Committee in Delaware, Mrs. Wilson says, on a shoestring. They rented a suite at 1016 Washington and now expect to expand to upper floors. IN Miami Beach, the rooms of Mr. and Mrs.

Wilson at the Sans Souci Hotel are the headquarters of the Delaware cause for McGovern. Their strategy was to have Wilson, as a delegate, handle the McGovern strategy on the floor of the convention while Mrs. Wilson held down the ho-t 1 headquarters, with constant telephone communi cations opened between them. "We have had a volunteer staff so far," Mrs. Wilson said today.

"When we return home, there will be the task of enlarging (he volunteer corps and hiring at least a small paid staff." Mrs. Wilson said she was positive McGovern will make Delaware one of his stopping points in his campaign. "WE hope to extend our campaign she said, "particularly in Dover and parts of Sussex, partial-' 1 a 1 the Rehoboth-Lewes area." According to Mrs. Wilson, one of the bright spots of the convention experience was the loyalty of Leo T. Marshall, the Wilmington Democrat chairman.

She also said she has been encouraged by the cooperation' of Michael A. Poppiti, state Democratic chairman. "I for one," she said, "refuse to accept the negativism of some Democrats thai McGovern can't carry Dela ware. Vve re prepared to snow McGovern is a winner in the national a turned out to be in the Miami convention." Crime Agency Burglarized The Delaware Agency to Reduce Crime was burglarized over the weekend. Two electric calculators, valued at were taken from its fourth-floor offices in the YMCA building, 11th and Washington Sts.

The theft, which occurred between Friday evening and their reopening Monday morning, was reported to Wilmington police yesterday. A $256 burglary was also reported yesterday by Tecot Distributors, 107 S. "Market St. The intruders took merchandise from the warehouse. cratic nomination.

Their "stop McGovern" campaign a shambles, officials of the AFL-CIO talked wistfully ol Sen. Henry M. 1 Jackson. But few had any real hope that he could wrest the prize from the front-runner. AIDES to AFL-CIO President George Meany said no decision on labor's role in the Nov.

7 election would be made until after the convention. But they said it was likely the union federation would support neither President Nixon nor the Democratic challenger. I. W. Abel, president of the United Steelworkers Union, said today he felt McGovern had no chance of winning the election.

"One has to wonder if they McGovern 's supporters) aren't doing everything they can to deliberately lose," he said in a television interview, citing the convention vote to deny Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley his seat. EVEN a McGovern choice of a labor leader as his running mate, Abel said, would have no real impact on labor's distaste for McGovern. Union officials distributed a 23-page "white paper" condemning McGovern as a foe of the working man. The paper also criticized the South Dakota senator's civil rights voting record and his stands on marijuana, amnesty for draft dodgers and political violence.

Distribution of the paper, which the AFL-CIO said was prepared by Jackson's office, began while the nomination still was in doubt. The fact that it was not withdrawn after McGovern all but wrapped up the nomination served to heighten speculation that labor would withhold its traditional support for the Democratic Partv. IT was far from certain just how big a hole labor's defection would leave in the McGovern campaign. Labor traditionally has provided much of the money and political manpower for Democratic candidates. This year, the Democrats are critically short of money but McGovern so far been ci'ule iu pi uiiucc ma own campaign workers, and has shown amazing ability to raise funds.

Labor is not united against McGovern. The United Auto Workers Union headed by Leonard Woodcock, and Un-American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers led by Jerry Wurf. are expected to support McGovern with enthusiasm. But Abel said it was "vers doubtful" he would McGovern against Nixon. "Ms-support belongs to labor." Abel told reporters yesterday.

The labor-distributed white paper aid McGovern's "record shows that he has repeatedly voted wrong on legislation affecting working people and the trade union movement." NEW JERSEY.
