12 Middle East Countries Favor American Efforts Under Doctrine Washington (U.R) Twelve Middle Eastern countries gener ally favor American efforts to bolster the Middle East against Communism under the Eisenhow er Doctrine, a survey disclosed today. Five nations in the troubled re gion either are withholding a de cision on the American aid pro gram or are against it. The doctrine, in the form of a resolution passed by Congress March 9 and signed by President Eisenhower, states U.S. readiness to use armed force to help any Mid-East nation attacked by a Communist - dominated country and requesting American help. It also authorizes U.S. economic and arms aid to bolster Mid-East nations against Red encroach ment. The United Press survey is based on results of Ambassador James P. Richards' 59-day tour of the Middle East to explain the Eisenhower Doctrine and line up support for it. Richards was scheduled to re turn here this afternoon to re port to Eisenhower and congres- Edsel Auto Will Be Easily Recognized Distinctive Lines By Detroit (U.R) The new Edsel scheduled for introduction late this year, can't be classified as a big brother of the Ford, or a Jittle brother of the Mercury.

A few prototype models have been built at a plant outside De troit. Fenders on the Edsel, which is costing Ford some S250 million to put on the market, will be concave, with a slight "torpedo" bulge leading to the taillights. The indented portion of the fenders sweeps around the trunk, whilethe back-up lights are centered in the taillights, as on this year's Ford. The chrome strip slides down ward from the double headlights to the indented fenders. The front panel slopes down to meet the rising rear quarter, similar to some General Motors models.

Edsel divi sion manager, says the company has spent' $150 million in facil ities for producing the car. An other SI 00 million has been spent or earmarked for tooling, administrative costs and launch ing the new model.

Richards, a Democrat and for mer chairman of the House For eign Affairs Committee, was au thorized to make commitments on economic and military aid projects of up to S200 million in the Middle East under- terms of the doctrine. . Nations visited by Richards that are endorsing new American efforts to stem Communism were Lebanon, Libya, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Greece, Tunisia, Israel, and Morocco. Israel's formal ap proval is expected shortly. Of these nations only Greece. Saudi Arabia and Israel will not receive American aid dollars from the Eisenhower Doctrine fund. The three nations will con tinue to receive U.S. aid, how ever, from regular foreign aid funds. Afghanistan gave Richards a mixed reception. It declared its "neutrality" in the East-West struggle, thus withholding any direct pledges to resist Com munism. But it agreed to accept further American "economic and cultural aid" without "any po litical conditions ..." Yemen and Sudan withheld ap proval. The Sudanese govern ment said it "welcomed the clari fication" of the doctrine and agreed to give it "further study." Egypt and Syria did not invite Richards and his mission, while Jordan is a special case. Adminis tration officials believe existence of the doctrine stiffened King Hussein's will to resist leftist at tacks on his regime. Hussein him self suggested it would not be a good idea for Richards to visit his country. But the young mon arch accepted S10 million in American aid from regular for eign aid funds.

(U.R) A pub lic health official disclosed Tues day night that traces of radio active strontium and cesium have been detected in milk in increas ing amounts during the past five years. Dr. Arnold B. Kurlander, as sistant for planning to the surgeon-general of the U.S. Public Health Service, told the Associa tion of Food and Drug Officials the problem is being studied on a nation-wide basis. Kurlander said milk normally contains traces of radioactive po tassium but since nuclear tests started radioactive strontium and cesium also have been detected. Kurlander said the fallout from atomic explosions lands on hay and grains that are eaten by cows. As a result the milk be comes contaminated to. some ex tent. The Washington physician stressed that although the amounts of strontium and cesium is slight, "it's cumulative effect represents a problem that must be considered." He said the Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center in Cincinnati will institute a regu lar testing program. The center will test milk samples monthly from California. Utah, Missouri, Ohio and New York. irl Fasts for 'Glory of God' 'Chattanooga. Tenn. (U.R) A high school sophomore who is doing without food "for the glory of God" said today she will ask for divine guidance in deciding whether to continue fasting after she reaches her goal of 21 days. Evelyn Jenkins, 16, whose home is near Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga., said "It will be God's will whether I continue it or not." Evelyn joined the Voice of Faith Temple here last Sept. 2. She said her decision to stage the 21-day fasting period was made because "The Bible tells us Jesus fasted." She dropped out of the 10th grade at Kirkman Vocational Hieh School here 19 days ago to start her 21-day fast which ends Friday. During the first four days she drank water and small amounst of fruit juice but for the past 15 days has had nothing but water. Evelvn lost 10 rjounds during the first two weeks but said she doesn't feel weak or hungry. She soends about six hours each dav in a secluded wooded spot near the home of an aunt With whom she lives, reading the Bible and praying lor guidance."

PHONE SP 3-3613 303 NORTH BARRETT Sinatra Sues Look Magazine For$2,600,( Hollywood (U.R) Frank Si natra today sought 82,600,000 damages against Cowles Maga zines, Inc., and writer Bill 'Da vidson because of an article in the current issue of Look maga zine that reported the ' singer called Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn a "creep." Sinatra charged in a federal court libel suit Tuesday that Look stooped to scandal maga zine tactics in the first article of a biographical series titled, "The life story of Frank Sinatra: Talent, tantrums and torments." Never Met Davidson "It was a lewd, lascivious, and scurrilous article containing innuendos and references of the same nature and type as con tained ; in what are popularly known as scandal magazines," Sinatra said. "I had never even met or spoken to Davidson." The part of the article that appeared to have infuriated Si natra into taking legal action was an anecdote in which, the complaint said, the sprightly singer was quoted as vehement ly telling Rayburn at last year's Democratic convention to "take the hand off the suit, creep." The article said the stiff rebuke came when Rayburn asked Si natra to sing "The Yellow Rose of Texas." Rayburn Denies Incident The legal firm of Gang, Kopp and Tyre attached to the 16 page suit a copy of a telegram from Speaker Rayburn denying the alleged incident. The tele gram said: "My attention has been called to the article entitled, 'Talent, tantrums and torment' which appeared in the May 14, 1957, issue of Look magazine. With reference to the paragraph on page 4.2 relating to the meeting of Frank Sinatra and me on the day he sang 'The Star Spangled Banner' at the Democratic ' con vention, no such meeting as de scribed ever occurred and Sinat ra never gave any such expres sion in my presence. I doubt if anybody would ask me to take my hands off them."
