Tattooed “Pachuco” Mark Sweeps Nation As Distinguishing Mark Of Youthful Hoodlums By HERBERT D. WILHOIT LOS ANGELES #—The tattooed mark of the Pachuco has swept across the nation as a symbol of modern-day youthful hoodlumism. Its common form is a cross with a sort of halo of dots, made with a pin or knife and ink on the web between the thumb and forefinger, or on the arm or chest. It puzzles and worries civil and military au- thorities in many areas, but in Los Angeles it is old stuff, con- sidered virtually passe. Is it smart-aleck feeding of the young ego, naive copy-cat activity or a sinister secret terrorist or- ganization? A Los Angeles authority, Police Lt. Richard D. Whitley of the ju- venile detail and former command- er of the gang detail established in 1948, said today he has no evi- dence of any national organiza- tion of Pachucos. : On the contrary, he said, the youthful. gangs of this and other large cities in which there may be Pachuco members have no formal organization; no officers, dues, bylaws or rules, The fellow whois the toughest and talks the best is the leader; the “‘organiza- tion” is confined to tight geography ical or neighborhood boundaries. The Pachuco tattoo has appeared recently on 30 airmen at Chanute Air Force Base, Ill.; in Kansas City; in Des Moines, Iowa, police called -it ‘juvenile copy-cat stuff’; at Lackland AFB, ye 2 Sampson AFB, Buffalo, N. ¥.; on five AWOL men at Lockbor AFB, Ohio;~in Columbus and the |?” Ohio State Penitentiary; at Ft. Campbell, Ky., and nearby Clarks- ville, Tenn:; on civilians in Omaha, Neb., Chicago and New York; and on two former bar girls in vice- ridden Phenix City, Ala. Lt.. Whitley, who flew to Chanute to advise the military on the Pa- chuco problem, said: “I am convinced that this recent spread is simply a symbol of un- social youth. One boy hears about it, or sees the mark on some- body else in jail or in the military guardhouse, and thinks it would be a good idea to have his own mark to boast about. Chances are many haven't the slightest idea what ‘Pachuco’ means. “We know what it’ means but Aviation Honor Is Slated For Arthur Godfrey VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. —Ar- thur Godfrey, who can’t fly be- eause his pilot’s license has been suspended, was scheduled to come here today to receive an award for his contributions to aviation. The National Aviation Trades Assn.’s regional meeting was io present the radio and television performer with a diamond-studded silver punch bowl. Engraved on the bowl is a map of Virginia with a diamond marking Godfrey’s home town of Leesburg. Godfrey’s pilot’s license was sus- six months March 16 more than last year’s record load. it’s impossible to translate accu- rately, We heard it as long ago as 1941 and it came into usage in 1943 in the riot-fights between zoot-suiters and servicemen in Los Angeles. “The term Pachuco came to the coast from the El Paso, Tex., bor- der country during the war. It’s a Mexican slang expression orig- inally applied in derogatory mean- ing to the ‘zooties’—the smart- alecks, toughs, hoodlums or what- ever you wish to call them of| Mexican descent who wore. long coats, peg-top, ankle-tight pants, duck-tail haircuts and thick-soled shoes. ‘ “But now it has lost that sig- nificance. It has been adopted, or applied to, youngsters who are, or think they are, toughs of all grades. But we find it no longer applies only to Mexican-Americans. The kids recently involved show no pattern of nationality or race. It’s simply become a symbol as- sociated with the very widespread youthful gang problem. “In fact, the viciousness today— the knives, beer can openers used as slashing weapons, saps, billies, switch-knives, palm saps and guns, the wanton cutting, beating or shooting of victims. without reason —go far beyond the original zoot- suit or Pachuco troubles where just plain fists frequently were the only weapon.” Whitley said one Caucasian youth at Chanute had a “‘code of Pachu- ¢o,” rules including no “‘ratting” fellow members, no cooperation with authorities, helping each oth- er. He said that was the only in- stance he had ever encountered of such a “code” and he is con- COP IS STRANGER SO SHE WON’T TALK PASADENA, Calif. — Valda Bishop, 7, rode her bicycle into the side of a car and traffic officer Robert Stirrett asked her to vinced it was “just one kid’s bright tell him what happened.

Giving up, Stirrett let the girl, unhurt, go on her way. CHANGE OF COMMAND-—Lieutenant Byron M. Shepard, U.S, Navy of Christiansburg, Ohio, is reading his orders from the Secretary of the Navy directing him to turn over his command of the USS PC-579 to Lieutenant (junior grade) R. F.
