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-

The car will be introduced
about Sept. 15, while production
is scheduled to start in mid-July.
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.

He said it will be a full middle-priced
car "with four series
and 18 models." Only General
Motors' Buick matches the price
range of the Edsel.
Richard F. Krafe. 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.
The last successful introduc
tion of a new model in the auto
industry was the 1939 Mercury

1938. The Kaiser-Frazer line, in
troduced after World War II
folded after a few years.

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.

Strontium, Cesium
Said Found in Milk
Louisville. Ky. (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

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."
