IMPARTIALLY MP UP, I THI INDMNAfOUS NIWS IV S. "'I Bulls-Eye EDITORIALS Tis The There is a line in Shakespeare which says: "For 'tis the sport to have the enginer hoist with his own petard." A rough translation in modern English would say there is poetic justice in seeing somebody blasted by a bomb (that's what a "petard" is) he has set for others. In either version, the saying is relevant to Sen. George McGovern in the wake of a ruling that California delegates to the Democratic convention must be divided up among the various candidates who ran there. McGovern and his followers are crying "foul" because this decision reduces his California delegate total from 271 to 120, bestowing the remainder on Sen.

Hubert Humphrey and other entries in the California sweepstakes. Yet the proportional division required by the credentials committee (and reversible by the convention) is the very formula McGovern's own reform commission had recommended. And it is a formula other primary states have followed, to McGovern's benefit. Primary winners in Michigan, Indiana, Florida, Maryland, have had to divide up delegates with candidates who trailed them in the voting, preventing any of those winners from making a decisive breakaway in delegate strength. Only California among the crucial primary states went against this asserted "reform," and that arrangement, too, redounded to McGovern's advan of by in RED ANTI-SEMITISM "if.

Did anti-Semitism have anything to do with his deportation? Brodsky, who had lived all his life with his parents in Leningrad they are still alive had this to say: "This thing exists, but mostly in the big cities" where, of course, most of the Russian Jews are. "They make it difficult for Jews to get good jobs. Young Jews have trouble enrolling in the universities.

There are a number of more or less secret limitations on them." THEY ARE THE only people in the Soviet Union who have their religion stamped on their identity cards "Zhid" which means Jew. I do not expect to see CBS or NBC doing a documentary on this. Nor will I see Josef Brodsky on the Johnny Carson show, the Merv Griffin show, or even on Meet the Press. There will be no enthusiastically-greeted readings for -him, such as the one Yevgeny Yevtu-shenko, the literary exhibitionist and Kremlin house poet, got. If Josef Brodsky is lucky, some publisher will put out a small volume of his work in translation.

National News-Research Syndicate LIBERAL BRAINWASH What About Freedom From The Past There are many ways in which a family in this community can enjoy the holiday tomorrow but we can think of none more pleasant or worthwhile than a trip to Conner Prairie Pioneer Settlement on Allisonville Road northeast of Indianapolis. This interesting restoration of a pioneer home in Central Indiana will be the scene of an Independence Day celebration recalling the kind of celebration common in the early days of the state. Such events as foot faces, tugs of war, watermelon eating competition, races and sack races will be seen.

occasionally to oecome u-u up. tially fed up, Of course, but fed up nonetheless. And this is one of those days, a day like all days, but unfortunately we are here. All of us. A lot of people are fed up these days; they simply haven't got newspaper col- nmncnr a i (1 talk Maclean shows to express it.

Instead, they have to content themselves with muttering oaths at the TV set or grumbling as they read their newspapers. So, for all of them (assuming, of course, that I have some friends out there), let me see if I can list a few of the things we are fed up with. FIRST OF ALL, we are fed up with nitwits who ignore the fact that North Vietnam has sent three armies and countless tanks into another country and then lambaste President Nixon for "escalating the war." In this case, the alternative to "escalation" is surrender. We are fed up with otherwise intelligent men who pretend to support "peace at any price" in the hope that it will buy them some support. If that's the only support they can get, then they ought to be embarrassed to take it.

We are fed up with Americans who demonstrate wildly against our role in the war and utter not the tiniest little 4 objection to North Vietnam's obsessive determination to take over South Vietnam. We are fed up with arguments that North and South Vietnam are the same country and should be united and that the U.S. should stay out of it. They are not the same country. The fact that they speak the same language and occupy the same land mass means nothing.

The same might be said of the U.S. and Canada, but does that make us the same country? If it is reasonable and right for North Vietnam to invade South Vietnam to the two, would demonstrators" agree that it would be all right for South Vietnam to invade North Vietnam for the same purpose? WE ARE FED UP with people who, in their hearts, must see the illogic of their arguments, but who hope that by shouting enough they can make the rest of us overlook it. If the "peacenik" position made any sense at all, it would have been sold to the majority of the public long, long ago. I We are fed up with the so-called "backbone" of the peace movement, i.e., the minority of the younger generation which is, in fact, nothing but a bunch of sniveling little cowards whose only real interest in democracy is whether or not they might someday be asked to pick up a rifle, and help defend it. In fact, we are fed up with more' things than we have space for.

We could probably stop sending ammo and weapons to Vietnam right now, and just buy what we need on the black market in Saigon. Wait until the Vietnam war is over you'll probably be able to buy a surplus helicopter for $50. Angeles, says it is not the students we have to worry about. "It is thi average instructor not yet 30 years of' age who has never touched or been touched by the realism of life. These are the men fomenting the trouble on qur campuses." I don't say Barry has been reading my mail, but here's a note from a lady in Hereford, Texas: "My daughter, a freshman at West Texas State, came home the other day ranting about the horrors of the McCarthy Era, and the terrible methods Joe had used.

"I did manage to point out that she could expect to hear nothing' but the liberal slant from a young instructor, because that was the line he had been taught. I'm getting her a copy of the Buckley and Bozell book, 'McCarthy and His Enemies'-and hope she'll read it to get another viewpoint. "ANOTHER LITTLE gem she picked up from that teacher was that Alger Hiss got a raw deal, since the only evi-dence against him came from Whit-taker Chambers, an admitted Communist. Talk about a brick wall!" Here's another item, vouched for by a renowned minister: a member of his congregation has a freshman daughter in a famed Eastern college. iWhen a demonstration was scheduled, she went to class and was the only girl present.

And the Instructor bawled her, out for not having joined the other protesters!

The complicated formulae and techniques proposed by the McGovern commission were best understood by McGovern and his helpers, and have provided the senator with the bulk of his delegates. We have been treated to the interesting spectacle of a purely one-way reform advancing the political interests of its sponsor and damaging the interests of his competitors. Add the fact that McGovernites danced with glee last Friday when the credentials committee unseated Illinois delegates led by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, and replaced them with a group committed chiefly to McGovern. This despite the facts (a) the ousted delegates had been duly elected the voters, and (b) McGovern hadn't even been entered in the Illinois primary. No matter; the important thing was to drive home the "reforms" and assist McGovern.

But, in the committee's California ruling, one such reform has been turned against McGovern, and his followers are distraught. While proportional breakdown of delegates in Michigan suits them fine, they don't want a breakdown California. There they want it winner-take-all, and never mind that this arrangement violates reformist principles. the sometimes rugged and often pleasant life that was lived on the Hoosier frontier nearly two centuries ago. Certainly those early residents had no recourse for celebration other than their own ingenuity and the companionship they enjoyed with their few neighbors.

It was the kind of 1 i in which a spirit of independence grew and flourished. The pastimes and events that will be seen at the Conner Prairie Pioneer Settlement no doubt will seem simple to a-sophisticated modern. Yet they will reflect as well a wholesomeness and satisfaction that are almost unattainable today. femininity of their sportswomen. Said Bobby, "They cheat in other sports (besides chess) as well.

The funniest if you think it's funny-is with their track athletes. Some women they take male hormones." Determined to bring the chess title to America, Fischer said, "The Russians have been committing international crimes for so long spreading lies and political propaganda all over the world, cheating at sports someone has to stop them I intend to teach them a little humility." If he does, more power to Fischer. tection, consumer protection, and the role of the corporation and government agencies in the lives of the average citizen." The student committee in Washington objects to "the philosophy that WashPIRG uses to justify involuntary funding and involuntary membership." They point out, moreover, that "WashPIRG is a highly political organization. One of WashPIRG's most important functions will be to lobby in support of or against various legislative acts. Clearly, as soon as a group enters the legislative halls to influence legislation it has entered the political thicket." IT IS HEARTENING to find these Washington students opposed to the PIRG concept of coercive funding and involuntary membership.

And, certainly, colleges and universities shouldn't allow themselves to serve as collection agents for politicized groups. It is good news that some students concerned about PIRG groups are prepared to file suits against institutions which collect mandatory student fees for the Nader organizations. Students attracted by the PIRG concept also would do well to consider the huge expansion of Nader's activities. Casper Weinberger, former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, recently pinpointed the changes in the Nader set-up, saying: "I get the impression of a person who's franchising himself, who doesn't have control over the quality. It's like anything else the franchise in Chicago may not be the same as the old master." Certainly, serious flaws are cropping up in the material Nader groups ara Good Luck, Bobby! Bobby Fischer, 29-year-old -American who has startled the chess world with the brilliancy of his play, is scheduled to compete for the world's championship against the title-holder, Boris Spassky of Soviet Russia.

Fischer has irked the Russians, not only by beating them regu- larly at what they consider their own game, but by accusing them of ganging up at international tournaments. At Curacao, in 1962, he charged that they consulted one another in order to defeat non-Soviet players. But Fischer really shook up the Russians when he questioned the COERCIVE POLITICS From The Look Of Things We Need (Joe) McCarthy By Ralph de Toledano I HAVE BEEN waiting, though it cannot be said I was holding my breath, for some great outcry over what the Soviet government has been doing to Josef Brodsky. Had there been an iota of principle to the fulminations over the arrest of a Greek editor here or a Spanish student there, then the heavens would be ringing with denunciations of Brezhnev, Kosygin Co. Mass meetings would have been called, full-page ads would have appeared in the New York Times, and pickets would have descended on the United Nations.

The Brodsky case, however, has caused hardly a flurry. There have been a few news stories usually buried away among the truss ads and that has been it. Yet Josef Brodsky is, according to the literary consensus, Russia's leading poet. AND POET IT is, period. He has not been involved in the dissent which has shaken up Soviet intellectuals and he is not a Zionist.

He is, however, a Jew in a country which hardly bothered to hide the signs of official anti-Semitism from the press which traveled to the summit with President Nixon. In the mid '60s, Brodsky was thrown into a slave labor camp. He remained there for two years. In 1969, he was declared, in effect, a "non-person" one of the most marrow-chilling words in the Soviet lexicon. And then, though he wanted to remain in his country, he was deported.

He has been granted a visa by the United States and will lecture on poetry at the University of Michigan. And what was Josef Brodsky's crime? In Vienna, he told those few reporters who bothered to interview him that his "crime" was in not being supplying the public. On March 20, for instance, Nader told a congressional committee thin red bloodworms had been reported in the drinking water of at least 17 U.S. cities, including Washington. His statement was part of a larger warning that polluted drinking water could become the foremost consumer problem of the 1970's.

Investigation showed the Nader statement was completely off-base. Health authorities said there had not been a single case of bloodworms discovered in Washington's water system for at least 10 years. The Washington Post said: "A subsequent examination of the documentation that led to Nader's statement reveals how incorrect or outdated information can find its way into the hands of sincere individuals and groups." The Post's story indicated the original source of Nader's statement may have been a research paper written 40 years ago. IT WOULD BE tragic if colleges and universities helped sustain Naderite groups that engaged in "research" aimed at specific political results. Educational institutions should beware of organizations that tend to lower or destroy standards of scholarly objectivity.

If students engage in politically-oriented "research," what kind of research will they do when they commence their professional careers? The PIRG movement doesn't belong on a 'campus dedicated to learning and objectivity. It is a poorly disguised form of political activism and should be treated as such. levthem States Mnitrle Cmndl The Lowdown On Nader's PIRG YEVTUSHENKO political the Kremlin's way.

These campus outlets for Naderites are a brilliantly conceived scheme whereby educational institutions serve as collection agencies for the highly politicized student groups.

The PIRG supporters, however, are likely to encounter roadblocks from responsible college and university trustees. For example, trustees of the University of Pittsburgh recently rejected for the second time a proposal that it collect dues from students to finance what the Pittsburgh Press described as "a research group designed by consumer advocate Ralph Nader." Pitt had been requested by the Western Pennsylvania Interest Research Group to collect $2 per student each term by adding the fee on tuition bills.
