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.

ing attack rn the "catastrophic

foreign policy in a nationwide
radio-television broadcast Thurs
day night. . . ;

eyes migrate from left side to

straight through the head; the
summer flounder, from right to

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. This tiny hitch-hiker's
only purpose in life is to fertilize-
her eggs after -she lays
them:. Needless to say, the at
tachment 'is for life..

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,

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."

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.
