TEXARKANA (AP) — An informed observer and exper-

divided on the U. S. presidential race and that he met no one

SCARSDALE, N. Y. (AP) —
When your wife or husband writes
a book, the results can be embar-
rassing.
Today’s victim is Dr. Mauel J.
Barkins. His spouse. Evelyn, a
lawyer and mother of five chil-
dren, has written another book—
her fourth.
This one is entitled “Are These
Our Doctors?” and will be pub-
lished Monday. Its advance public-
ity bills it as “ap expose and de-
bunkment of the medical profes-
sion."
Dr. and Mrs. Barkins say the
medical profession has reacted vi-
olently, even before reading the
book. There have been “nasty”
telephone calls and the whole
thing is “very embarrassing.”
The doctor, fearing censure by
the American Medical association,
has written the A.MA. saying he
•roes not approve of the book and
doesn't want tP be held respon-
sible for it.
“All I want to do is get off the
line, off the hook,” he lamented|-j
in a statement to the publishers.
‘I’ve received so much criticism
t just want to make my position
clear and get out of the picture.”
He said, however, in his letter
to the A.M-A. that he was not
apologizing for.his wife’s creative
effort, adding.
‘No husband anywhere has ei-
ther the legal or moral right to
censure or suppress his wife's in-
dependent thinking.”
“Hello, Pat!” wheezed, breezy
Mayor Caillavet, to a man he’d
never known, “How you doin’?”

“And. 4id you
i 0,000th." came the reply from
the division manager who evi-
dently didn't know that Caillavet
was the city's No. 1 citizen and
mayor and no longer a telephone
uncman.
And, that’s the telling of the
story of Orange’s 10,000th tele-
phone. The sights are all set again

party is strong in France and
Italy, a large majority of those
voting Communist are not Com
