France Has Its
Teen-age Problem
The French, while often criti-
cal of teenage gang Violence in
the U.S.,. and of the Teddy -boy
outbreaks in London, have long
felt that, the problems of their
own juvenile delinquents were
individual, and therefore less
alarming. But when gang terror
erupted last month. in Paris and
in the Mediterranean resort of
Bandol, the disillusioned editor
of Le Parisien Libere wrote:
"Now we know the truth: The
street gangs are, organizing."
At Bandol, 50 young "Blous-
ons Noirs" (Black Jackets), fail-
ing to find the gang with which
they, had planned "un rumble,"
eut a swath through the town
with their bicycle chains and
brass knuckles. In the wake of
their forays, they left shattered
glass, smashed furniture, and at
least eighteen injured.
In Paris, as in America, ef-
forts to assess the cause of the
outbursts evoked some familiar
sociological platitudes. Parisian
authorities blamed sensational
movies (the average Blouson
Noir sees six a week), magazine
andnewspaper articlesglorify-
ing crime, and, finally, the
breakdown of family; life.
Whatever the reason, authori-
ties, church, and press demand-
ed action. One of the most en-
gaging solutions was offered by
Thierry Maulnier, columnist for,
the .respected, conservative daily
Le Figaro. Send the Blousons
Noirs across the Mediterranean
to help rebuild insurrection -torn
Algeria, Maulnier. suggested.
"There they'd learn to become
what they think they are now:
Men."
Rescuing World's
Oldest Ship
On her maiden voyage, she
was Europe's newest . and larg-
est man-o'-war—a 64 -gun, oak-
en three -master measuring 170
feet from her delicately carved
figurehead to her high, proud
stern — and she had all flags
flying as she sailed slowly out of
Stockholm one August day in
1628. Sweden's young King Gus-
tavus Adolphus, who ruled what
was then a first -ranking military
power, had built the flagship
Vasa as part Of his plan to in-
vade Germany. But she had sail-
ed less than a mile when a gust
of wind caught and turned her
over. The ill-construiited ship
carried many of her complement
of 470 down with• her,
Gustavus Adolphus's navy
made a dew ,attempts to salvage
some of the Vasa's brass can-
nons, but the ship eventually
was abandoned, Then, three
years ago, an amateur archeolo-
gist named Anders Franzen came
across records of the Vasa and
deducted that she must, still be
lying in the, North Stream near
Stockholm. Soundings located
her.
Since then, navy divers have
brought up some 600 relics, in-
cluding handsome wooden stat-
ues of mermaids, fauns, and
dragons. Yet the recovery of
the ship itself involved innum-
erable problems: The vessel lies
buried in 10 feet of mud and
clay some 60 feet beneath the
surface of the water. in Stock-
holm's harbor. Work must stop
every time a ship wants to enter
the nearby Stockholm dockyard;.
ice halts work on the project
every winter.
But in recent months suction
pumps have slowly burrowed
three tunnels under the Vasa,
and divers have slipped 4,500
feet of steel, hawser through
them. Last month the salvage
team awaited only a favorable
combination of weather and tides
to launch the Vasa on its 'voyage
back to the surface. The step-
by-step surfacing will take an-
other two years and cost $800,-
000 (raised by private subscrip-
• tion), but success will enable
Sweden to turn the Vasa into a
unique naval museum — the
oldest ship in the world.

City That; Casts
A Bright Ray
It is- just possible that Flint,
Mich., is one of the most remark-
able cities inthe whole of Ame-
rica.
If you are discouraged about'
the course of human effort on
this planet and in this country,
sick of reading of struggle, ten-
sion, violence, economic dis-
order, then let Flint cast a
bright ray into the gray gloom.
As reported recently by Ray
Cromiey in a series for NEA.
Service, Flint is engaged in an
astonishing effective program of
community and individual self-
help that reaches into . almost
every corner, of the city's ' life
It is doing this without calling
upon federal. 'and stte . govern-
ments for money. Big money
isn't the thing at all. " Scho./1
taxes have been edged up a
little, and ,a wealthy man has
tossed in a fair bundle, and
that's it. The rest of the way it
runs` On the citizens' own steam
and imagination.;
The place is fantastic. Kids go
to school early, stay late, and
love it. Parents swarm around
'the schools in,"off hours" in al.
most as great numbers as the
youngsters.
There are athletic programs,
meetings, dances, studying of
many kinds. Hundreds of men
serve as ' substitute fathers for
fatherless boys. Organized block
by block under community
leadership, Flint; people repair
and improve their own houses
instead of lookingfor slum
clearance funds, Courses train
homeowners in the many 'house-
hold repair and maintenance
jobs.
The school is the hub of the
program, Flint's school buildings'
are alive with activity from
morning until late at night, all
the year around. The .school
board is the chief overseer of this
sprawling effort.
Automobile factories give the
town a lopsided economy, and
today one out of nine eligible,
workers is without a job Flint
has plunged in to help the job-
less train for new types of work.'
Citizens work to urge creditors
to , carry the unemployed until
pay checks start again. And they
give them space . in schools to
cook, wash, and iron and so on,
when their electricity at home
has been cut off for nonpayment
of bills. Women learn to sew and
cook better tO save money.
In the schools themselves, alert
new plans have been devised to
flush out potential scientists from
the crop of youngsters. Effort is
spade to spot talent as early as
the second grade,
The details of this great com-
munity enterprise are endlessly
exciting: What is perhaps most
impressive is that in an age when.
we see so much negative head-
shaking, the people 'of`Flint are
cheerfully positive. They want to
achieve, they believe they can,
and when they do they':are proud
of what they accomplish.
Flint isa stirring example, a
practical example, to every city
in America' of what it means to
be really free, self-reliant and
',assessedof human dignity.
There ought to be a presidential
medal for everybody in the town.
