SANDERS BUMS GLORIFIED A couple of weeks back, a substantial number of newspap ers around the country publish ed on their front pages a photo graph of Abbie Hoffman, one of the more despicable of the so-called “Chicago Seven”. The picture had been taken on— where else?—one of the college campuses where Hoffman had been invited, and paid, to come to deliver a “lecture”. On this particular occasion, Hoffman was speaking at Kan sas Wesleyan University, and the format that evening was the same as has been followed on campuses around the coun try where the “Chicago Seven” have been collecting fancy fees for advocating the violent over throw of America. What made this photograph unusually objectionable was the fact that the grinning, smirking Hoffman, pictured in a T-shirt and in profile, was blowing his nose into a small American flag. The picture was quickly circulated around the world by the news services. Part of the problem may in volve the judgment—or the lack of it—on the part of the news media of the country. So the question may really be How do Abbie Hoffman and the other revolutionaries parading around the country, rate so much at- tention'. , Surely every previous generation must have had its misfits, its degenerates, its loudmouths—but until fairly re cent years they were given short shrift by the news media. They were largely ignored, and de served to be. They came and went; they faded into oblivion where they belonged. But not today. They dominate every television newscast, every dav’s newspaper; they are swept up and embraced by a concept of something called “academic freedom' which dic tates that insanity and absurd ity and disloyalty must be glorified as oracles on almost every college and university campus. In short, we have be come a country obsessed with giving respectability to the kind of crude kooks and oddballs that other generations w-ould have laughed off the stage Edith Kermit Roosevelt, the fine nationally syndicated col umnist. was contemplating all of this the other day. As she noted, while the country is fed a steady diet of the mouthings of even ignoramus militant who comes along, practically no attention whatsoever is given to any person—no matter how important or group—no matter how large who tries to stand up for America. Back on April 4. says Mrs. Roosevelt, some 50,000 well- dressed. sincere, mostly middle- aged Americans traveled to Washington to conduct a March for Victory in Vietnam. The parade was promoted and led by Rev. Carl McIntyre, presi dent of the International Coun cil of Christian Churches. The Rev. Mr. McIntyre is hated by the leftwing establishment, and is always portrayed in the worst possible light by the major news media Whatever his faults, the fact remains that the Rev. Mr. Mc Intyre brought 50.000 people to Washington to express their fun damentalist faith in God, and to call for a victory—not a stale mate—in Vietnam.
