" . . .If we want a foreign policy which can hold back Communism and work for a lasting peace in the world w must losa no time in the next four years in hammer ing home the lessons, of the Mid dle Eastern debacle." It appeared Stevenson would concentrate his final campaign attacks on the premise that Pres ident Eisenhower failed to pre vent war in the Middle East.

Spine for Fishing Rod The goosefish uses one of its long spines for a fishing rod, complete with a flap of skin for bait to lure its prey within reach of its great mouth. The first three spines of its top iin stand apart, separated from One an other; the most forward part lo cated just behind the upper lip of the giant mouth, and it is equipped with an irregular, leaf lik flap of skin at its tip. This tempting tidbit is jerked back and forth over the mouth in a way which successfully imitates the. movement of small edible creatures apparently because victims swim up. As soon as they get near enough, the goosefish opens its enormous jaw. The sud den opening and over one-half of its body is head, mostly mouth causes a strong inflow of water, helping' to suck the prey to its horrid fate. The female deep-sea angler, only three inches long, is able to swallow another fish fully her own size and then swell up enormously to accommodate it. For convenience, she carries a tiny male with her. Once he finds her, he latches on fusing his mouth to any convenient part of her body and in short time her blood flows freely through his own body, nourish ing him.

Policy 'Dead End' "The question which confronts us is stark and simple our Mid dle Eastern policy is at absolute dead end," Sevenson declared. Aides said Stevenson would hammer at this charge In speech es at Cleveland today and De troit tonight, ' and for the four days left in his bid for the presi dency. Stevenson gave his views on the Egyptian fighting for 15 min utes Thursday night, using free radio and TV time to reply to President Eisenhower's report to the nation Wednesday night. Talking to 14,000 persons at a rally here two hours later, Stevenson touched on some of the political effects of the Mid- Robert Basey Case Dismissed in GP Court This Week Grants Pass The case against Robert Stephen Basey, 20, Med ford, charged with attempted burglary of Manchel's furniture store, was ordered dismissed Wednesday by Circuit Judge O. J. Millard. Motion for dismissal was made by D. F. Myrick, defense attor ney, after District Attorney Max McMillin had completed the state's case. Myrick contended the state had not proved com mission of a crime. Witnesses who testified were George and Robert Manchel, owners of the store Ted Camp, Winifred Hamm, Donald Burke and Roger Frederick Sampson, all employees of the store on the date of the alleged crime, Feb. 22, and Deputy Sheriff Paul Shelton, who was a Grants Pass city police officer at that time. Testimony According to the testimony, Basey was seen in the store about two hours after the store had closed. Basey's explanation for his presence in the store was said to be that he was waiting for his father, who was coming to fix the store furnace. Camp said he knew the man coming to work on the furnace, Jim Mc Cord, Rogue River, and that Basey was not McCord's son. . Camp took Basey to the store office, he testified, and picked up a telephone, when Basey jumped over the office counter and ran upstairs. Camp followed, he said, and saw Basey's feet as he. disappeared through an up stairs window. In his opening statement, Mc Millin said it was the state's con tention that Basey had left the window open for access to the store in order to commit burglary. j Prove Acts ' ' The judge told the jury the state had attempted to prove two overt acts, that the defend ant had secreted himself in the store With intent to commit burglary,- and that he left the up stairs window open. He said that if the defendant secreted himself in the store, it would more likely be an intent to commit larceny, because burglary most include unlawful entry. He also pointed out there had been no testimony that the defendant had ooened the window, or that it had been closed earlier in the j day. Judge Millard also commented "that he was "not deceived" by Basey's explanation of his pres ence in the store, He added he was convinced Basey was in the store "for no good," but that guilt has to be proved and. can not be assumed. . East crisis. He said the Ameri can voters could be "sure" of one thing. "Having told us to reelect President Eisenhower because there is peace, the Republicans will now be telling you to re elect him because there is no peace." Warns of Isolationism The candidates warned that the U.S. must not "retire into isolationism" or "abdicate our leadership" because of fighting in the Middle East. But he pre dicted that most Republican leaders will advocate such a course. "These Isolationists already have a strong grip on the Re publican party machinery and they have often exerted a veto power on the present, even in his honeymoon first term," he said. "... Far from withdrawing, America must now move boldly to end the war, to restore the Western Alliance and- to seek a new basis for our future rela tions with the Soviet Union." Mrs. America Leaves For Tour of Russia Portland U.R) Mrs. Cleo Maletis. better known as Mrs. America, left her. home here yesterday with her husband for a world tour that will take her as far as the Soviet Union.

WINDSHIELD FOR WINTER DRIVING MHEBDIF' Snow, Dust, Fog Hamper Traffic By UNITED PRESS Snow, dust and fog hampered wide areas of the nation early today, slowing traffic and forc ing the close of airport facili ties. Snow accompanied by a 20-de-gree drop in temperature through most of the Central Rockies, and weathermen reported blowing snow in parts of Colorado. Four inches of snow was on the ground at Denver while Akron, Colo., had three inches. The snow also penetrated as far south as Trinidad near the New Mexico border where four inches was reported on the ground. Weathermen warned that light snow would continue during the day in the Central Rockies and northwestward through the Cen tral and Northern Plains. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure in the Southwest caused strong winds, reaching 60 miles an hour in gusts at El Paso, Tex. Dust was raised by the high winds over the Texas Panhan dle, west Texas and into the east ern portion of New Mexico. Fog blanketed a wide section of the western Great Lakes and mid - Mississippi Valley region, but was expected to clear by mid-day. Applications.
