What is civilization after all but a complex of traditions? The so-called "superior" man may smile at traditions and bruque-ly brush them away, but in effect he is washing away the paste which holds society together. They are a strong paste, Dr. Sherwin says, much stronger than any epoxy goop that may be invented.

An example of the intense strength of tradition in holding BY BILL BOZMAN Enquirer Science Writer "Anomie" is the word which may help to explain the sudden flowering of assassination in the United States, believes Dr. Robert Sherwin, assistant professor of sociology at Miami University, Oxford. Indeed, Dr. Sherwin inclines to attribute much of the world's troubles to a similar feeling. But what is anomie? Dr.

Sherwin says the word was coined by a French sociologist, Emile Durk-heim, in a discussion of the increase of suicide in the modern world. It denotes a sense of helplessness, drift, rootlessness, an intolerable sense of want of control over the sweep of life. The feeling impels an individual to immediate action. He strikes out perhaps at himself in suicide perhaps at the menacing world in murder or violent forms of theft. We can only speculate as to the cause, Dr.

Sherwin said, but it is people together may be seen in India. The food situation there is at best intolerable by American standards. Simple death by starvation is not rare, but the age-old power of a set of traditions somehow holds the fabric together. A set of traditions, according to the theory, gives a sense of rest and confidence to humanity; their loss sets man down again in the midst of the forest to kill or be killed. He is again a denizen of the wild even though his view may be bounded by asphalt and skyscrapers.

One of the most salient features of the modern temper. Dr. Sherwin said, is an intense impatience. The cry is "Now, now, now!" There must be an immediate solution without any slow growth at all. This is particularly evident, he said in classroom discussions among students.

In former days such an attitude was ascribed merely to the natural impatience of youth, but today a kind of universal adolescence seems to be affecting all of the western world. Dr. Sherwin emphasized that he could say nothing at all about the man accused of shooting Senator Robert Kennedy in Los Angeles. "I don't know anything about him," he said, "and his act may well have personal or mental causes. The situation of anomie, however, is the backdrop against which such actions become possible."

fusion Indignation Grips City LOS ANGELES (UPI) Robert F. Kennedy hung between life and death Wednesday night after a bullet fired at point blank range plunged near his brain from a gun wielded by a Jordanian, immigrant amidst an exultant primary victory celebration crowd. The third medical bulletin issued 17 hours after the 42-year-old brother of the late President was wounded said doctors were concerned over the senator's continuing failure to show improvement in his "extremely critical condition." The gunman, identified as Sirhan Pishara Sirhan, 24, was reported to have written in a spiral notebook diary found in his apartment: "Kennedy has to be assassinated before June 5, 1968." Struggle At Hotel Two men try to take iip- i On: years ago. He moved to Pasadena where he lived with a large family. Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty revealed late Wednesday that officers had found a number of his possessions at the home including the two diaries.

They contained 18 to 20 pages of handwritten notes expressing pro-Arab and pro-Communist beliefs. One of the team of doctors who performed more than three hours of surgery to remove bullet and bone fragments said Kennedy "might not make it" and that if he lives he may suffer extensive brain damage. About 5:20 p. m. (8:20 p.

m. EDT) Kennedy's press secretary Frank Manciewicz appeared for a third time to give the latest report on his condition. AS OF 5 P. M. Senator Kennedy's condition is still described as extremely critical as to life," he said.

Manciewicz said there would be no further "regular" bulletins until Thursday morning. Also found in Sirhan's pocket were several newspaper clippings outlining his travel schedule in California. The last entry was the party at the Kennedy headquarters in the Ambassador Hotel on Wil-shire Boulevard. KENNEDY was unconscious in the intensive care unit of Good Samaritan Hospital. The second medical bulletin had said "the results of a series of tests undertaken by the medical team are inconclusive and do not show measurable improvement in Senator Kennedy's condition.

It said his "life forces pulse, blood pressure, heartremain good." Kennedy continued to show the ability to breathe on his own although his breathing remained assisted by a resuscitator. Jr. Henry Cueno, who assisted in the operation, said several major arteries were severed and Kennedy's brain suffered extensive loss of blood and oxygen as well as several blood clots. Cueno said Kennedy also suffered injuries to the spinal cord. So.

Viets Push Back 111 Saigon Battle SAIGON (UPI) South Vietnamese Rangers charging behind American tanks Wednesday broke a Viet Cong stranglehold on six blocks of Saigon's Chinese sector. Communist shells slammed into Saigon for the fifth straight night. The Rangers pushed diehard enemy infiltrators into three battered apartment buildings in Cho-lon, where Communist mortar fire hit late Wednesday night. U. S.

military officials said six Vietnamese civilians were killed and five wounded. The Rangers killed 34 Viet Cong and captured four others in the charge, the first breakthrough in six days of fierce house-to-house fighting in the big Chinese area of Saigon, military spokesmen reported. The Rangers closed in on the area behind American-built tanks manned by South Vietnamese cavalrymen. The tank cannon blasted holes at the ground level of almost every building in which the Viet Cong had been holding out and the South Vietnamese troops quickly took up positions inside. The government troops forced an estimated 20 Viet Cong survivors into the three buildings, but the Communists managed to kill at least six South Vietnamese soldiers and wound nine others.

During the afternoon, the South Vietnamese forces gave the Communists a taste of their own weapons, firing captured B40 rockets into the buildings in which the Viet Cong holdouts Ijad taken refuge. At the northeastern gateway to Saigon, South Vietnamese marines reported killing 38 Communists and capturing 14 others near the strategic Binh Loi Bridge. That is the anniversary of the six-day Israeli-Arab war of 1967. Kennedy, in his victorious campaign for the California primary backing in the Democratic presidential nomination, had spoken out strongly for the Jewish state of Israel and urged that it be supplied arms by the United States so long as Arab states did not cease aggression. KENNEDY was cut down after leaving a tumultuous party in the ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel and while trying to make his way through the kitchen to a freight elevator.

The gunman emptied eight shots from a revolver from a distance of three feet.

Clark, who ordered the FBI into the case on the basis of the 1968 Civil Rights Act, told a news conference a preliminary investigation had turned up no signs of a conspiracy. It was, Clark said, "just an individual act." Mr. Johnson telephoned key lawmakers at 6 a. m.

to request emergency authority and funds to expand Federal protection to major candidates presidential and vice presidential and their families. IT IS NOW LIMITED to the president, vice president, president-elect, former presidents and Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, widow of the late President John F. Kennedy. Assured of congressional cooperation, he then told secret service director James Rowley to supply agents for Democrats Kennedy and Sen.

Eugene J. McCarthy; Republicans Richard M. Nixon, Nelson A. Rockefeller and Harold D. Stas-sen; and George C.

Wallace of the American Independent Party. Almost simultaneously, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved legislation broadening secret service protection to all major candidates and sent it to the Senate floor for action today. The House is expected to act the same day and send the measure to the White House for the President's signature. From Floor shot Hugo Sabato, chairman of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, took time from sessions being held at the Hotel Sheraton-Gibson to deplore what is going on. "The violence in the United States of America today does not seem to be distinct with any specific segment of our country age-wise, race-wise or otherwise," he said.

"Apparently the conditions are so bad that a disproportionate share of our population is sick," Sabato added. Mrs. Lee Lindeman, 230 E. Second Covington, called "the repetition unbelievable" meaning that first President Kennedy, then his brother, were shot. How embarrassing this is for the United States in the eyes of the rest of the world, she commented.

THE SHOCK and disbelief and fear cut across political lines. At least half of those persons willing to comment for publication regarded themselves as Republicans and therefore not in the Kennedy camp. Steven Reece, executive director of Operation Step-Up, the city-wide musical program for disadvantaged young people, said he thought his idea was the only one left. "Now is the time to support the people who speak constructively for the unity of the country," he said. "Whether his name is Johnson or Nixon or Humphrey, whatever, makes no difference.

Just so he can bring the country together." Reece added one last comment: "And it's time to pray." The Weather Sunny and warmer today and Friday, with a low of 62 and a high of 88.

Another man from out of nowhere! Then came the fears for a nation that seemed to be turning more to violence each day. "What is happening to our country'. was the anguished cry heard Wednesday in the black ghettos, the expensive hilltops, the college campuses, the steaming downtown streets. "IT SEEMS there is something lacking in the American people that they can allow this kind of thing to keep going on and on," said Miss Candy Fletcher, a University of Cincinnati senior who lives in Western Hills. "To me," mourned Gary Shearer, 730 E.

Mitchell, who recently served four years in the U. S. Air Force, "the world is in some real mess it's just mad." Shearer, like many other Negroes questioned, noted that it seemed as if everybody who spoke out for the plight of the poor was eliminated. THEY ALL referred in this respect to the late President John F. Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr. And, of course, Senator Kennedy. All three killings, he said, "give us ample warning violence may bring down the best among us." MR. JOHNSON chose as head of his special commission the brother of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Among the other eight members he mentioned were Eric Hoffer, the former- San Francisco longshoreman and philosopher, and Roman Catholic Archbishop Terence Cooke of New York. Other members are Sens. Philip Hart, (D. and Roman L. Hruska (R.

Hruska has been a leading congressional opponent of the Johnson administration's legislative proposals for strict gun control legislation. The House a few hours, earlier Wednesday cleared the way for final congressional approval of Mr. Johnson's anticrime legislation, to which the Senate had added a watered-down version of administration firearms controls. The bill now would ban all mail order sales of hand guns and limit their over-the-counter sale to persons 21 years of age and older. -AP Wirephoto Suspect In Shooting refuses to identify himself Agents Guarding Major Candidates JJ.

S. Crime Probe nit Is Appointed By LB WASHINGTON (UPI) President Johnson, acting without legal authority, dispatched Federal security agents Wednesday to protect all major candidates for presidential nomination and their families. While Congress hastened to approve authorizing legislation, Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark ordered the FBI to assist in the investigation of the attempted murder of Sen.

Robert F. Kennedy, but said there was no evidence of a conspiracy. SECRET SERVICE AGENTS were guarding all the candidates and their families by mid-day Wednesday as Congress prepared a measure to authorize and pay for the expanded protection. The Defense Department, meanwhile, said it was taking "certain prudent actions" in case the Kennedy shooting led to rioting as did the assassination of Martin Luther King in April. Pentagon officials said the precautions including contingency plans in which troops are earmarked for civil disorders in various areas of the country.

In the nation's capital, Mayor Walter Washington cancelled all police leaves and extended tours of duty for the 3100-man force. A WASHINGTON (UPI) President Johnson, deploring the attempted assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, appointed Wednesday night a special commission led by Milton Eisenhower, former president of the Johns Hopkins University, to study the causes of violence in American life. In a seven and one-half minute address to the nation on radio and television from the White House, the President said: "Let us for God's sake resolve to live under the law." He appealed to Congress to "bring the insane traffic in guns to a halt" with meaningful controls on the sale of firearms.

Mr. Johnson told the nation that the American public should not feel guilt for the fatal shootings of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King. But at the same time, he warned that the nation must rid Itself of senseless violence. He blamed a "climate of extremism" among other factors which might have led to Kennedy's shooting Tuesday night after a California presidential primary victory celebration..
