"It's just that things work out beter a way." Bacharach's breaking of the rules has placed him at the fore front of a new breed of song writers. But, unlike some contemporaries, he has been able to create music that appeals to both sides of Generation Gulch. His songs have a distinctive, essentially modern feel to them melodic, yet with a disregard for the conventional patterns ol Tin Pan Alley. Some of them: "You'll Never Get to "Walk On By." "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," "Make It Easy on Yourself," "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" "This Guy's in Love with You," "Promises, Promises." DIONNK WARWICK Many of the tunes are asso dated with Dionne Warwick, and it's no accident that Bacharach appeared on her CBS television special this week. He picked her out of a recording studio chorus and with his lyricist partner Hal David has guided her singing career to the top.

Bacharach is married to actress Angic Dickinson. Bacharach's own career is going in so many directions that it is hard to catch up with him. He had a rare moment of relaxation over a glass of orange juice in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills one afternoon. He had just finished taping "The Dionne Warwick Special" and was taking off for London to oversee the debut of his stage musical, "Promises, Promises." Burt is an articulate, outgoing man. handsome and athletic- looking with shaved face and conservative hair style.

He elaborated on his rule-breaking thesis: SEVEN-EIGHTHS TIME "Sometimes I write a line that comes out in seven-eighths time and I wish it could be more conventional but it just doesn't work. So it stays at seven- eighths. For the title song of i I changed the beat three times and I said to myself, 'This is adness--nobody will ever be able to sing But the show- needed a real push at that point, and I lei it stay. "I do everything in a natural way. Like my singing.

I gol some letters 'rom radio station managers saying, 'Stick to writing but that doesn't bother me. "Some people also criticize my conducting; they say I try to too much out of an orchestra.

Many of the enemy dead apparently were due to air strikes and artillery since spokesmen said activity "continued to decrease last week, especially at week's end, compared to that of the previous week." The weekly report raised to 38,728 the number of Americans killed in combat in Vietnam since Jan.

"One to Count Cadence" is described on the dust jacket as "comic, absurd, violent a mirror of a generation reared on violence." It is set in the Army, but Crumley said it was not a war novel as such. "It is about violence and friendship and survival," he said. "I tried to create a hero who could partake of violence and still understand the absurdity of it." One Fayetteville book dealer said sales of the novel were "going well." even though he had not had a chance to advertise the book extensively. a dom House apparently" i it i be a brisk seller, sincr it put out an initial press run of 17.500 copies, about twice that of most first novels.

At the University, he is the third instructor in a creative writing program that is winning wide recognition throughout the country. i i a Harrison and James Whitehead are the other two members of the creative writing faculty. Crumley and Whitehead were graduate students together at Iowa. Harrison had linen one of Crumley's teachers at Texas A and I. and he also is a graduate of the Iowa program.

INSTRUCTORS Among Crumley's instructors at Iowa were novelists Vance Bourjailly and R. V. Cassill. the latter of whom Crumley describes as "one of the biggest influences" in his writing and "the last brave man in America." Cassill, in fact, was partly responsible for "One to Count Cadence," Crumley said, since it grew in part from an argument between the two. Crumley began his book in Oct.

1964 and sold it in January 1966. when he hatl about 100 pages of manuscript to show the publisher. The book was finished in April 1968. Crumley is optimistic about the creative writing program at the IJA. He says it is "dammed good" and could become "the best in the nation." both because the program is turning out good writers and because it has "good connections" among publishers.

Further, he said, graduates with master of fine arts degrees don't seem to have getting teaching jobs anywhere. "One to Count Cadence" received two pre-publication reviews, one of which praised it. The other said it was "all right if you like this kind of stuff," Crumley said. The book also was read in advance of publication by authors Cassill and John Clellon Holmes, both of whom gave it good reviews. This pleased Crumley greatly; he said he had a great deal of respect for both their opinions.

The Kremlin interprets the belligerence of China as a mani. ffstiilion of deep political trouble.

it may be right. Red China i celebrate on Oct. I the 20lh anniversary of its founding. As usual for such Communist celebrations, a selection of slogans was published for the guidance of the masses on that day. Of the 20 slogans, four bear down heavily on the possibility of war.

including atomic war, and single out the Soviet Union as a potential enemy in that conflict. Three slogans directly Hack Soviet "revisionism" and 'social imperialism," a phrase intended to indicate Moscow designs on Chinese territory. Only three slogans salute Mao and Mao's "thought." The tenor of this propaganda suggests to the Russians that the regime in Peking is in trouble and that thus it must have the nearby threat of catastrophe --such as' war with a big neighbor--to keep the nation from falling apart. If Mao Tse-tung is in failing health, or if he and his anointed successor. Defense Minister Lin Piao, should be losing their grip, another grim power struggle would seem inevitable, like the one which took place under the guise of Mao's "cultural revolution." The leaders of China's army appear to have a powerful position in the nation now.
