There, he said, AAA officials and the press could ask all the questions they wanted, no holds barred. The AAA refused, and so what little cooperation there was ceased. SINCE THEN THE STUDY has progressed, albeit in a somewhat desultory manner, collecting more information about the AAA. Public officials, current and former employes, government agencies and members are among those being contacted for in- formation about their experiences with the auto club. The basic outlines of the study are done. It is now a matter of filling in the fine points, shoring up ten- tative conclusions, or revising them, as necessary. AAA cooperation or not, the study group has learned a great deal about the AAA, some of it good, some reflecting well on AAA concerns, -some quite bad, showing an incredible indifference to what AAA members really need. One of the clearest lessons learned from this summer's work is the irrelevance of profit. People identify their organizations not just because of the monetary profits they may receive, but from some more general, more human need for identification, a role filled by organizations and bureaucracies. Insulated from the people they claim to represent, unable to see beyond their own socio-political back- ground-AAA directors and officers are, almost without / exception, from the white, upper-middle class business community-unaffected by any seri- ous competitive threats, AAA officials see their role Auto Club' in narrow, unimaginative ways. Having gotten along for so many years, they seem to feel that all they need do is more of the same. But times have changed, as AAA president Wil- liam .Bachman conceded in a speech recently, and new views of the world demand that organizations perform new functions and give their members new services. What is needed are not more of the same- like 'selling another brand of tires and batteries and more lucrative, fancier travel excursions-but more essential services, like auto diagnostic clinics and technical advice, that meet the needs of AAA mem- bers. As one former employe said, the AAA may yet be brought, albeit kicking and screaming, into the late Twentieth Century. 0 0 What is life without love?

Among the speak- ers in Washington were Hitoshi Kubo, active in the antiwar move- ment in Japan, and George Smith, who identified himself as a for- mer prisoner of war in Indo- china. The underground nuclear ex- plosion on Amchitka Island, Alas- ka, and the Indochina war were the dual targets of some 4.000 persons who gathered at the Bos- ton Common. Among those on the speakers list were former Sen. Er- nest Gruening (D-Alaska), and Dr. Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the press. Ellsberg called for the impeach- ment of President Nixon for his conduct of the Indochina War. "I'd like to see impeachment Proceedings started right now, for his lies and the violence he has done to the Constitution and to his countrymen," he told about 4,000 persons gathered on the Common.
