The Post-Standard from Syracuse, New York • Page 5

Decay in Fun City CAPT. RAYMOND GIMMLER, head of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association of New New York City has informed Mayor John Lindsay that "a crisis of anarchy" exists in (he streets. He says thai if firemen are sniped at any more while they try to fight fires they'll pack up their equipment and let the flames take over. Perhaps this is a solution to New York City's problems. With a big enough riot and a big enough fire the whole works might go the way of Sodom, Gomorrah, Troy, Carthage and Hinckley, Minn.

We yahoos from the hoof-and-hide country have always had a love-hate relationship with the bis Hty. We came in our yellow shoes, mm Lyons Jones bearing wicker suitcases. We gaped at the tall buildings, were sucked in by the slickers and visited with horrid fascination the Bowery "where they say such things and they do such things! But we really loved it. It was the center of the arts, the home of drama, the fountainhead of commerce and finance. It had the best restaurants, the most spectacular harbor, the biggest railway stations, the famous night clubs and the finest museums.

YOU DIDN'T ARRIVE in vaudeville until you'd played the Palace. Writers moved east to become members of the Lambs and the Players. Promotion to the head office in New York was the junior executive's dream. And now? Alas! Maybe New York was doomed to fade. They're got tall buildings now in Omaha and fine art in Pasadena, and in Houston you eat as well at 70 per cent of the price.

In Janesville you see the same TV programs that New Yorkers watch, and in Spokane the electronic scanner brings all the markets instantly. In Tulsa, you can live on a street where it's safe to walk in the dark and be on the WATS line to New York or anywhere in 15 minutes. No cussing the Penn Central. No cussing the Long Island. So the migration out of Gotham has been gathering speed.

When General Dynamics moved from Manhattan to Clayton, this spring, only 14 families failed to go along. Many young executives now want bonuses for a New York transfer. The great new buildings which filled automatically since World War II are not filling so well these days- WORST OF ALL, there is the social decay. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. now so that maybe you can get back to your hotel without being mugged.

Times Square is a gigantic peep show. Bright-eyed trollops, frantic for the next fix, patrol the sidewalks and even lurk in the corridors of some of the best hotels. The hippie "scene" around Washington Square is indescribable. For New York City is a gaundy example of "liberal" miscalculation. The' essence of Greek tragedy is not villainy, but the errors of well-meaning men.

There was the fanciful idea that bums and free-nders don't really exist, that all people would struggle to get off charily if only given a chance. mere was the idea that starting at the bottom, a process seized eagerly by old-time immigrants, had passed into the realm of cruel and unusual punishment and mat a man on the dole had a right to ignore "Busboy Wanted" signs until he could find a job "with dignity." There was the idea that residency requirements for relief recipients are undemocratic, which has enabled some to draw charity from two or three states and others to spend a month in Puerto Rico between checks. THERE WAS THE IDEA that misbehavior was a mechanical consequence of poor housing and deprivation and that public outlays would cure it. The result has been high-rise jungles. This year New York City faces a $1.1 billion deficit.

The budget will top $9 billion, about what the entire federal government spent as late as 1940. And Mayor Lindsay is crying for massive aid from all of America's taxpayers. Fireman Gimmler is right. There is a crisis of anarchy. As the motherly black lady remarked to me last week on the plane out of Chicago: "I'm an old New Yorker.

But three times burglarized and twice yoked is enough. I'm going to live with my sister in Texas." Robert Moses, the great builder of modem New York, has sent me a copy of a letter of his to Raymond Moley, after Mo-ley had written that only when he was far from New York could he regain faith in America's survival. "I can't agree that New York is ungovernable and hopeless," writes Moses. "I really believe we can laugh much of the present wurra-wurra to death." Bob Moses loves his city. He is a brave man.

He may wind up as the last optimist In town. THE OFFSPRING: When David Hopkins, son of the late Harry Hopkins, the man closest to FDR, was here he joined our table in Sardi's. I introduced htm to Heywood Hale Broun, son of the late coiumntsi neywoou Broun. I This was fitting, for Heywood Broun bad in-1 traduced to me Harry Hopkins at the roulette I wheel of Miami Beach's Royal Palms Club. OFF-THE-RECORD: In Star's one night I joined a table where Phil Harris sat with Ty Cobb.

The bandleader toid stories of his years touring with musicians who smoked mari-I juana and hashish. Harris heard me ask Cobb If he managed a club would he prefer to have Ted Williams or Joe DIMaggio. The baseball immortal chose DiMaaaio. Harris, unmindful of his own confessions, cautioned me: 'Don't print what Ty said." THE PROSECUTOR: In the last few years of his lite Tom Dewey and I finally became Mends, Re once said that the only Item I'd primed about Mm that really hurt was that he wore shoes who raised neets: "it meant i was oomg thing phony." TOUR: The new "Journals of David E. UUeotbal" has a report about me dated Aug.

2, MO: "Just back from my first nightclub hop wtlh a columnist I was taking a short walk helm turning in when Leonard Lyons stopped me on Park Why not come with Mm to see the Four Seasons, a super-grand restaurant across from the Gladstone? So I did." Tnen Llltenthal described my taking Mm to Sardi's and Downey's and of his meeting Shelley Winters, John Osborne and Norman Mailer. The former head of the Atomic Energy Commission forgot that I'd also introduced Mm to Harry nit2, who looked at him and said: "I thought you'd have a mushroom-shaped cloud over your head." THE MOVIE: Damon Runyon once told me that producer Ben Bogeaus had sent an aide to her to offer Runyon $35,000 lor the movie rights to a story, "Johnny One Eye." He sent the aide a second time, suggesting that the deal would be signed quickly if Runyon would agree to change the leading character so that George Murphy could play the role. Runyon toM the "Neifhetyfm nor Ben has read the story "If yon had, vou'd know Johnny One Eye is a rat 4 Top Safety Patrolmen Honored Alan Johnson, 11, left, of Pitcher Hill Elementary School, North Syracuse, one of 115 safety patrol members who last night received special Automobile CIul) of Syracuse pins, recehes his award from Stuart E.

By HY GARDNER Didn't John LeoitOn and Yoko call on the Beatles' one-time spiritual adviser, the Maharishl, a few hours before she kidnaped her 7-year-old daughter? Kathy Chicago.

They didn't. It was the girl's father, Anthony Cox, who had attended meditation sessions at the Indian guru's mission in Majorca, John and Yoko, dropping in on the little girl at a playground, noticed Kioko appeared to be ill. So, without taking time to get her ex-hus- permission, they whisked the phild away to their hotel in nearby Palma. Within hours police arrived with a complaint from Cox that, since he had legal custody, this was an abduction. Yoko denied it said it was purely the act of a mother wanting to see her ill child and nurse it back to health.

Syracuse University has a new academic division: fiie S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

The university's board of trustees, at its semi-annual meeting yesterday, established the school which will include the present School of Journalism and the television-radio department, now a part of the School of Speech and Dramatic Art. Chancellor Melvin A. Eg-gers told the board that long-range plans for the new school will mean study in four segments of the mass media: printing, film, broadcasting and recording. "These are the media which collectively inform us of what is going on in the world, determine in great measure our tastes and values, influence our judgments and are the means by which consensus in a free society is finally reached," he said. "To my knowledge there is not yet anywhere in the world a school where each major area of public communications is studied in the presence of others.

In a sense, the program Will be offered from a consumer's point of view, because few of us depend on any one of the mass media alone," said Eggers. The television-radio department will be housed in a second $7.5 million building of the Newhouse Communications Center, north of the present facility which houses the School of Journalism. The se-ond unit, which will be 88,000 square feet in size, will be a four-story, block long facility on Waverly Avenue between S. Crouse and University avenues. Contracts for die structure have been let, Eggers announced, and groundbreaking is scheduled for later in the summer.

Community Chest to Hear Flood The Pennsylvania congressman coming to Syracuse to lead the golden anniversary observance of the United Community Chest and Council here will be returning to the scene of his early college days. Rep. Daniel J.

Flood, a Democrat, representing the 11th Congressional district of Pennsylvania, received A.B. and M.A. degrees from Syracuse University more than 40 years ago. News of his acceptance of the invitation to speak at the chest's 50th anniversary luncheon June 18 in Hotel Syracuse was announced yesterday. After earning his Syracuse degrees, the Congressman attended both the Harvard University Law School and the Dickinson School of Law.

Recently he accepted an honorary doctor of science degree from Georgetown University and an honorary doctor of laws degree from Dickinson. The anniversary luncheon will spotlight the many accomplishments of the chest in the last half-century. Much of the attention will be focused on the chest family of health, recreation, family service, child care, character building and other agencies. About 400 agency leaders and other civic notables are expected to attend the Dutch treat meeting. The "Golden Age of Giving" has been established as the theme of the luncheon and the tire year of observing the 50th anniversary.
