News in Brief: France, Modern Scalp Treatment. "A new fad in gay paree is the 'mohican haircut' - a scalp job just like the Indians used to do. When the barber gets through with these 'young bucks' - they're ready for the warpath." Very ordinary-looking hair salon/ barbershop. Young man sits down and gets what would later be known as a Mohawk haircut. (I guess there is nothing new under the sun.) Other customers sit and wait, one looks at photo of Native American (?) in a book. Two teenage boys show off their new hairstyles. Another waiting patron looks disapprovingly away, back to the newspaper he's reading. One of those wacky trends of crazy youth. Ahead of their time, pioneers.
