THE COVER: Inspiration for this painting came to Danish-born artist ERIK BLEGVAD at a predictable moment: while he was stuck behind a school bus in a traffic jam. Blegvad also had ample opportunity to observe the mayhem he pictures. Recently neighbors in Westport, Connecticut, "elected" him to help the bus driver discipline several boisterous children. "They called me a 'bus mother,'" Blegvad recalls. "Imagine that." He soon resigned.

AT THE GRASS ROOTS: Do the American people expect a war? A depression? Do they have faith in President Kennedy? Washington Editor Stewart Alsop set forth recently on a 6338-mile cross- country trip to seek the answers to those questions. He had help, but he tackled 200 interviews himself and estimates that he trekked at least 100 miles on foot. Recalls Post photographer Ollie Atkins: "Walking up, ringing doorbells, shaking hands. After a while my back and feet began to ache. But Stew kept going as if he loved every moment of it." Ironically, Alsop encountered his biggest obstacle after completing the article. Slipping on a rock in Aspen, Colorado, he fell and broke his kneecap.

RETARDED CHILDREN. Eunice Kennedy Shriver is the fifth of nine children in a family which includes the President of the United States as well as Rosemary Kennedy, a retarded sister whose story is told here for the first time. Rosemary's misfortune has created among the Kennedys a keen interest in mental retardation -- the latest manifestation being creation of the President's Panel on Mental Retardation which has been developing recommendations for a national program. Eunice, who served as a consultant to that committee, is the wife of Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver.

OTHER BY-LINES: Susan Black is a free-lance writer who lives in New York City. HAUTE MODE FOR LITTLE GIRLS is her first Post article.... When automation expert John Diebold left college in 1951 he applied forjobs at two venerable New York management consulting firms and landed a job with one of them. His starting salary was the lowest of any Harvard Business School graduate that year. Today he owns both companies. His collaborator, Robert Calm, is a Post associate editor.... In the second part of M LIFE WITH JUVENILE GANGS, Vincent Riccio, who is now a Brooklyn high-school gym teacher, continues the moving story of his years as a Youth Board worker.... Jerome Ellison describes himself as "a free-thinking, unspecialized essayist and novelist". . . . Jimmy Breslin, who has chronicled the careers of many boxers, now examines "the most disliked heavyweight this country has had since 1910 "The nicest compliment I've ever had," confided Shirley Booth to Post associate editor Thomas Congdon, "was from someone who told me I drive like a man." ... Antique automobile buff Ken W. Purdy has lived in England for the past few months. TRIUMPH OF THE BOON is the fourth in a series of stories about this intrepid destroyer written for The Post by C. S. Forester.. . . In order to further the cause he advocated in our pages recently (THE WORLD NEEDS THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA, Aug. 25-Sept. 1), Robert F. Kennedy earmarked profits from this article for scholarship funds at universities in Japan, Indonesia and West Berlin.
