By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON (AP)--President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Eden undoubtedly will give top pri- ority to arranging better co-oper- ation in the critical Middle East during their January White House conference. The British leader's acceptance of Eisenhower's invitation to visit most of the two Western leaders' time. At present, British-American pol- icies, while both aimed at persuad- ing the Jews and Arabs to settle their dispute peacefully, are some- what conflicting. Eden has offered to serve as mediator in the Middle East quar- rel, calling on both sides to agree to t boundaries. Eden Washington Jan. 30 was ced Monday. Eden, along with Foreizn Secretary Macmillan, also will visit Oftawa during the North American trip. British-American policies appear more in need of high-level discus- sion in the oil-rich Middle East re- than in Europe and the Far t. Western relations with Russia in the wake of visits by Russian lead- ers to India, Burma a Afghan- stan, and in advance of their pro- jected visit to Britain next spring, also are due to come up for review during the conference. But joint British-American moves| to avert war between Israel and its Arab foes promise to take up per proposed that the 1947 United Na- tions partition plan be used as a starting point for talks. Eisenhower and State Secretary Dulles have careftlly avoided en- dorsing the Eden plan, mainly be- cause it has aroused angry oppo- sition from Israel. In its war with the Arabs, Israel seized more territory than was awarded to it under the UN parti- tion plan. Israel now contends that the Western powers sanctioned the present frontiers in 1950. Egypt and other Arab states have hailed Eden's negotiation offer as pointing the way to talks which could end the threat of hostilities in the region.

The sharp rise in Ald. Thomas" vote was one of the most outstand- ing features of the voting returns. Many informed observers put this down to the fact that more women got out and voted this year. They saw this view is also endorsed by the higher vote for Mrs. Lee, edu- cation board candidate, Voting fgures indicate that elec- tors voted more selectively than in previous years. For instance, the majority of voters did not vote straight down the card by ticking off the first 12 names. BIG LABOR VOTE There was a solid block of labor votes cast and six of the nine can- didates backed by the Oshawa La- bor movement were returned to the various civic bodies. It is claimed that the strike enabled and encour- aged more G.M. workers to vote at the polls this year. Ald. R.
