Attacks go unanswered

DICK WEST

WASHINGTON (UPI)—One of this year’s presidential candidates frequently enlivens his campaign speeches with disparaging references to “pseudointellectuals.”

Surprisingly, these attacks have thus far gone unanswered.

You would think that the pseudo-intellectuals would be springing forward to defend themselves. But I have yet to hear even so much as a peep out of them.

One reason may be that pseudo.intellectuals are reluctant to admit they are pseudointellectuals. If so, there certainly is no reason for feeling that way. Pseudointellectualism is nothing to be ashamed of.

I don’t mind saying that some of my best friends are pseudointellectuals. In fact, I come from a long line of pseudointellectuals myself.

Modesty forbids me to classify myself as one. But I do identify with them and feel I

He's Widely Sought YOKOHAMA, Japan (UPI) — Yokohama maritime police say they have arrested one of the most widely traveled thieves in the world. Police identified him as Philip Felix Dardaine, 37, a native of Trinidad and Tobago, who they said had been sought by his native country, as well as Holland. Sweden. Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and West Germany. He was arrested on a charge of attempted theft aboard a ship.

peace. He was said to have promised Hanoi a bombing halt in return for Hanoi:

— Withdrawing its forces from the DemiLtarized Zone (DMZ) on the South Vietnam border. — Halting attacks and terror raids against South Vietnam’s cities, towns and hamlets. — Agreeing to accept the Saigon government as a partner in full peace talks.

As the offer went to Hanoi, the North Vietnamese suddenly fell silent. Hanoi radio almost ceased its bitter calls for the halt. Home to Hanoi went top North Vietnamese diplomats. The Hanoi diplomats here canceled their usual Monday news briefing and their cocktail chitchat party Tuesday night. Possibly no one but the North Vietnamese knew, as the session began, what Hanoi would say. But the diplomats cited these reasons for hope Hanoi would agree: — In Saigon, President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam said Tuesday he does not oppose a U.S. bombing halt of North Vietnam if Hanoi in turn deescalates the war. Only Saturday he called such a halt “impossible.” — From Hanoi came a communique of the Viet Cong, the Communist guerrillas of South Vietnam, including the usual claims of a Red victory buttickling diplomats—for once failing to ban the Saigon government as a partner in peace talks. — American military reports in Washington said the North Vietnamese have already withdrawn as many as 60,000 troops from South Vietnam, pulled them back farther than would be needed merely to bandage them up for a new offensive. — The U.S. battleship New Jersey, reborn from the mothball fleet, this week suddenly ended its brief successful pounding of the North Vietnam coast and sailed into South Vietnam waters. U.S. Navy spokesmen said the New Jersey was only moving to hit a Red target in South Vietnam but some diplomatic observers called it an American act of deescalation. — The release bu U.S. authorities Monday of 14 seamen, the only North Vietnamese prisoners it still held. American spokesmen in Saigon called it a “goodwill gesture” aimed at speeding release of the more than 300 American fliers held by Hanoi. But diplomats said the release further iced the sweetcake of a peace drive. — French Foreign Minister Michel Debre, speaking Tuesday on neighboring radio Luxembourg, praised Johnson’s Vietnam peace moves as “courageous.” He said that what was happening here was the bearing of the fruit of Johnson’s labor.

should say a few words in their behalf. It seems to me that if a candidate insists on attacking

some group, he should go after the real intellectuals instead of picking on the pseudos. Genuine intellectuals are vul-

nerable on a number of points, but you rarely hear a presidential candidate attacking them. I suspect the reason for that is that deep down in their secret heart of hearts presidential candidates think of themselves as being genuine intellectuals. Failure of the pseudo-intellec-

tuals to rise to their own defense may also stem from the fact that they are terribly disorganized. Or at least unorganized. Hence they have no formal spokesman. They should get together immediately and establish a national association of pseudo-

intellectuals to look after their interests. The next time they are attacked, the association could put out a press release denying the charges. And perhaps demand equal time on television. More important, the associa-

tion could undertake a public relations campaign to build up the image of pseudo-intellec-tuals and enlarge their influence in public affairs. If properly mobilized, the pseudo.intellectual vote might become a decisive factor in the election.

As its first step, the association could order some buttons with “pseudo-Intel leetual power” imprinted upon them.

Then it could print some signs reading: “I may \>e pseudo but I ain’t quasi.”
