I have not been able to find out how long he spent on the phone talking to Sir' Anthony Eden, who incidentally dislikes him, but I would hate to pay the phone bill.

(Corinthians A Plan Is Offered In this period of, confusion, distrust and violence one of the candidates for President has offered a plan to end the Middle East fighting and effect stabilization of an unstable area.

Despite Its ups and downs, despite trans-Atlantic criticism, the alliance developed a system of mutual advice on every major move for 15 years. For approximately 10 days prior to the Israeli invasion of Egypt.

American diplomats could make no with French and British diplomats abroad. Usually convivial, usually frank about what they were doing, the 'British and French were aloof. Even in Jerusalem, French and British attaches would not gjt down for a highball with their American counterparts. For three' months, London and Paris had seen John Foster Dulles block every move they proposed regarding the Suez Canal, and they had decided in the future they would not telegraph their punches. As reported in this column October 10 Prime Minister Eden and' French Foreign Minister Mollet decided for the first time in years, they would deliberately keep Dulles uninformed.

ISRAEL'S ARMS BUILD-UP-Meanwhile American observers in Israel knew a military build up was taking place, they so in formed Washington. They bad no idea, howevei, that the French and British were in on Israel's plans. Shortly before the Israeli arms build-up developed into an attack, John Dulles called in the French and British envoys and blandly, rather piously inform ed mem the President had in structed him to inform them he would not be swayed by the forth coming elections. Despite the elections, he would stake a strong stand against aggression. The British and French envoys listened, said nothing.

Maybe they did not know what their home governments planned with Israel. If they did, they kept poker faces. After, the Israeli attack, Dulles moved again. Blithely he fig ured' he could turn crisis in the Near East into a big plus politically at home. By rushing before the United Nations he could demonstrate once again that Ike was the man of peace.

So he took a niaiJe lhe move be fore the US fast. He had no idea what had been brewing in the chanceries of Europe, no idea how deeply he had offended the French and British by his various moves blocking them in Suez.

This need not be, because men too can be examined for cancel The best way to do this is by regular checkups by a medical doctor, There are many things that can be done, but today the discussions will be on what men can do in the way of self-examination. Just as women are educated in self-examination of the breasts, there is no reason why men cant examine 'certain body areas. I a particular, men can examine the external genitalia.

The testic 1 art important in this respect. In the young adult male, between ages 20 to 40, testicul a cancers are the most common. These cancers are of several types, like most cancers, earlier the diagnosis, tht better the outlook. It is estimated tha each year about 3 out of every 100,000 men will develop a cancer of the testicle. This estimate is made from Army experience, on men of military age.

The major- litity of testicular cancers are of the slow-growing type, so the out- look is usually good. Now that self-examination has been proposed, you may wonder in what way this can be done. By noting the size and feel of tht les at regular intervals, men can learn to detect early enlargement. This examination should be done at least once a month. Other than the lump of enlargeme there is usually no manifestation.

In some cases there is associated pain. After discovery of any changes. you should make this known to your family physician. He will direct your course of action. Re member, all lumps axe not cancer.

The Reader's Courtroom By Win Bernard Pete was a law-abiding citizen himself, but he hung around with a cast of shady characters. One eveningwhile he was playing pool with a couple of sharpies, Pete was hauled off to jail.

It seems there waa new city ordinance against "associating with persons of unsavory reputation." To Pete, this smacked of per secution. So at a court hearing he spoke up indignantly: "Since when can the city fa thers tell me who tQ go around with? I happen to like these guys. As long as I stay on the straight- and-narrow myself, the authori ties can't do a thing to me." "On the contrary," countered the prosecutor. "It's the respon- council to curb crimjtje-yay is to keep the bad element as isolated as possible in the community. "Besides, people, who mix i bad company usually turn-out that way themselves sooner or later." FOR VIOLATING THE CITY OR DINANCE? Weigh both sides, then mark your verdict: YES NO Pete went free.

The court held the city ordinance to be an unconstitutional infringement personal liberty. "We deny the power of any legislative body," said the judge.

This writer doesn't expect Ike to lose all those states in fact, quite a number of them will go Republican. For the patters of prosperity applies to several of them, and the peace issue applies to them all. Also, "good times" prevail uniformly in the populous states with the exception of Michigan and Pennsylvania, where recent unemployment may have left a large residue ofv discontented voters. Since the total num ber of "prosperous" districts ex ceeds the number of Districts in the thinly populated states, the Republicans have a good chance also of winning both houses of Congress. There are 90 Electoral Votes classed by this writer as "Doubt ful" which could wind up in" the Eisenhower column- Montana, Nevada, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts.

The "Ratio of Doubt" a phrase which this writer has used in pre vious forecasts of Fresidentiau elections favors Eisenhower- in the above group of states which comprise 90 Electoral votes. There Is, on the other hand, even among the 92 votes classed as "Doubtful" but leaning toward Stevenson some question now a bout several states he has been expected, all along to carry such as Texas, New Mexico and Florida, Personal preference plays no part in this forecasting business, as this writer while not support ing Franklin Roosevelt, forecast correctly his election on three oc casions and in other years found it necessary to pick Republicans as winners though actually fav oring James M.

It is' a distinct possibility at this writing, due largely to economic conditions in the prosperous and heavily populated states and to the emotional issues of the hour, which could influence a good deal more straight-ticket voting than has come the way of the Republicans in recent Presidential Elections.

This program can be enlarged upon, but at least it represents a positive step not only toward ending thejpresent crisis but toward solving the, problem to prevent future crises. So far we have pursued a negative course that has contributed to the problem! We have straddled the ience by leaning toward one side then the other. We have encouraged Egypt and then discouraged her.

We have ried to soothe Britain, France and Israel, and then have con-demnedthem. As a result we have displeased the, Arab world, and our old-time Allies. The Democratic nominee offers a plan that would provide leadership at a time when leadership is urgently President Eisenhower, who must be held responsible for the blunders of our foreign policy makers, offers no plan other than to criticize Britain, France and Israel for the steps they have taken, and thus further separate us from our Allies. Until the cause of the present, violence' is removed there can be no permanent cure. Even under a truce that does not remove the roots of the trouble there would be new eruptions.

The roots are obvious. The precarious status of the Suez canal, a vital lifeline to Britain and Western Europe; the constant Arab threat against Israel; the deplorable economic condition of much of the "Middle East, and the dismal plight of nearly 1,000,000 Arab refugees-forgotten people in an unforgettable era. A Sorry Record WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 This is the eleventh Presidential Elec tion In which this writer has published his forecast of the result. The score thus far has been eight correct predictions and two misses.

The same formula has been used again and again, and in the case of the two predictions that was not in the formula but in the information gathered by this cor respondent in 1940 and 1948 which led to an overestimate in certain states- of the amount of voter discontent due to econonjic conditions. The Party in power in both those election years was bet ter off on the economic side than was generally realized at the time. For basically, when fifty to sixty millions of persons vote, on ly the overriding issues things that can be called the Common denominator of the thinking of masses of people are decisive The fomula used by this writer in forecasting a presidential election iS to examine the economic situation state by state and determine to what extent economic contentment or discontent prevails. A. satisfactory econom ic condition is reflected in the data of production, sales, profits and employment.

This is called "prosperity" in the vocabulary of It helps the partyFJin power, wnereas a "depression" or "recession" usually means that the party in power will be turned out of office.

ThU happened in 1952 when "corruption" and its near-relative- the taint of "communism and the Korean War furnished the emotional Likewise, in 19- when World WaT I was goto on, the Democrats had "prosperity" on their side in the west due to heavy wheat purchases from a- borad, but depression in the East due to interruption of trade in manufactured goods. Yet, ov erriding everything else was an motional issue.

Its slogan was "he kept us out of So President Wilson won In the present campaign "peace" and "prosperity" have cans and questioned by the Dem ocrats. But President Eisenhow er'! speech on Wednesday night of this week pledging firmly to keep the United States out of the War -in the Middle East was a dramatic confirmation of the "kept -us- out -of- war" issue, and hence events have in. the main benefited Therepublican Administration. The issue is not whether there is peace all over the world but whether American boys are "involved in a war. As for economic conditions, the Nation is prosperous in almost all of the states.

In the agricultural areas the situation is somehwat adverse for the Republicans due to the drop-off in incomes for the farmers. But many farm families which don't want to see their sons or farm employees going to war will be influenced, because of the peace issue, to support the President. Also the farm states are heavily Republican anyhow, and many of them can show a subs tan ti allyTeduced a jori ty and still cast their electoral votes for Ike. Looking, at the 1st of "certain" and "Doubtful" states, this writer presents a forecast which endeavors not to estimate the, final tally but to establish a basic minimum how the winning candidate is sure to get the 266 electoral votes needed to elect a president. The actual result next week may show a far greater Electoral vote for Eisenhower, but the average reader primarily wants to know now the basis for picking the winner and only secondarily what the Mamimum Electoral Vote may be.

Here is the irreducible! minimum which makes it cer tain that President Eisenhower will be re-elected: 4 Arirona Subject to tht Municipal Election of Tuesday 4, 1956 In offering my candidacy for this offict, I should likt to state that my only consideration is to strvt tht btst interests of ALL tht citizens of Clarksville.
