Does this mean that they are dissatisfied with their wives or girl fnesds? Do they do it for kicks, or is it just the natural thing to do? My fiance says that all men doat stare at women, and thai wbea they do they intend ao harm. C.R.O. It is wise to turn to the words of the Savior when confronted with a question like yours. And it happens that He bad something significant to say on this subject. "Whosoever kraketh upon a woman to hist after her bath, committed adultery already with her in his heart." Matthew 5:28.

Though I have disciplined myself not to "stare" at women, I do not criticize those who glance' st a pretty face. After all, women are among the most beautiful creatures God created. Some men I'm sure have no lustful thoughts when they glance at a pretty woman. Perhaps they admire them like they do any object of beauty, such as a handsome dog, or horse, or a bouquet of roses.

Fischer Ticket Considine WASHINGTON It can now be documented that House GOP leader Gerald Ford had a cozy relationship with an influence-peddling Washington lobbyist who repaid Ford's favors with donations to the Republican party. As far back as Jan. 27, 1970, we reported that lobbyist Robert Winter-Berger was operating out of Ford office.

We then lacked evidence, however, that Winter-Berger gave campaign cash in return for Ford's intervention in federal cases. Now, Winter-Berger has confessed his relationship with Ford, including the financial quid pro quo, in a book entitled "Washington Pay Off." Ford has denounced the book as "a bunch of innuendoes and fabrications." The Republican leader said he knew Winter-Berger slightly but could remember only a single Instance in which he helped) one of the lobbyist's clients. This was an immigration case which Ford said was "meritorious." Ford's staff told us the office files contain only a half-dozen letters relating to Winter-Berger, all of them dealing with the immigration case. Said Ford's dozens of people who come into the office." Our own investigation, however, has uncovered close to letters from Ford's office involving Winter-Berger. We have also turned up several cases in which Ford went to bat for Win-ter-Berger's clients.

Once, Winter-Berger arranged for the GOP leader to give a public endorsement to an organization seeking to standardize the world calendar. Another time. Ford helped Winter-Berger in his efforts to get a diplomatic appointment from the Nixon Ad-, ministration for Francis Kellog, president of International Mining Corporation. Despite Ford's insistence there was "no quid pro quo" in his relationship with Winter-Berger, we have obtained copies of letters Ford wrote to the lobbyist thanking him for campaign contributions. A typical letter, written after Winter-Berger donated $500 to the GOP in 1967, declared: "Many, many thanks for your most generous contribution." The letter is signed simply, "Jerry." Another "Dear Bob" letter, thanking Winter-Berger for $250, over there, don't you think dear?" And his wife (who is secure) usually agrees with him.

-In fact, I have heard women say zine interview, that I am moving with an advance guard that the majority of American people are ready to rally around." For one thing, despite his meteoric rise, McGovern remains an unknown quantity in the minds of that majority he hopes to rally. (This is even more true in the case of his "Spiro who?" running mate, Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri.) The latest poll by the Harris organization found McGovern trailing President Nixon by a 12-point margin in a three-way race (45 to 33 per cent) and by 16 points in a two-way race (54 to 38 per cent). More significantly, it was also found that McGovern had slipped surprisingly in certain areas.

For instance, the number of voters who gave him credit for being an early opponent of the Vietnam war and who considered him a fighter for tax reform was smaller than it had been in-May. But the most striking reversal was that more vot-ers-not fewer-than in May now think McGovern has "too extreme, liberal views." Much of this, of course, may be due not to things McGovern himself has said but what others have said he has said or have said in his name. Actually, it is not George McGovern who is the worrisome unknown quantity to many people (after all, how far out can the soft-spoken son of a minister from South Dakota It is the ideological company he keeps-or rather, the company that seems to have been attracted to him. It was, for example, not an inspiring sight when a crowd of youths, demanding a clarification of a statement by him on Vietnam, forced a confrontation with him in his Miami Beach hotel headquarters and drowned him out with shouts of "Abortion! Amnesty! Marijuana!" Such emotion-charged words could be as fatal to McGovern, and as unfairly so, as the slogan "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" was to Republican candidate James G. Blaine in 1884.

Yet strangely, McGovern's acceptance speech, his first opportunity to address the American public as the presidential nominee of the Democratic party as well as to begin the healing process of the rifts within that party, was delivered in the wee hours when most of American was asleep. This may be remembered as the first blunder by a candidate in the 1972 campaign. Nevertheless, those who blithely predict a Nixon walk-away in November may be in for some surprises. Much of the percentage-point difference between him and McGovern is simply a recognition gap and is bound to shrink. Not only that, but any man who has shown himself to be a fighter like George McGovern has can be counted on to make a real race of it.

I keep thinking that the spooks of the Democratic Party's old guard must have been hanging around Miami Beach-wondering what in thunder has happened to the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Wilson, Roosevelt and Kennedy. The ghosts must have been puzzled by an announcement from Flamingo Park that the Gay Liberation Front would bold a "kiss-in." "The Happy Warrior" of the convention surely was Ted Kennedy.

During the scheduled love feast of the final night, his was the only genuine smile on the platform. Those of Humphrey, Muskie and Scoop Jackson were made of plastic. Teddy's was real, and for good reason. To his relief, be had found it easy (rather than seditious) to turn down McGovern's offer for the No. 2 spot He had been granted a reprieve until 1970, by which time a new generation of Democrats wilt think Chappaquiddlck was Sitting Bull's uncle.

ter-Berger: "He was not a close Lighter Side of YfasWrgtonmmmmmmffimmmm calls the money "wonderful help" says Ford is "deeply grateful." Ford's principal help to Winter-Berger was the use of his office. This enabled the lobbyist to impress his clients with his friendship with Ford. The congressman has now denied that Winter-Berger used the office. But letters in our possession show that the lobbyist was close not only with Ford but with members of his staff. Ford doesn't deny that Winter-Berger made donations to the Republicans but insists that none were made to him.

Yet we have found Winter-Berger gave campaign contributions in ways that could be of direct help to Ford. For example, the lobbyist gave hundreds to the Republican Finance Committee in Kent County, which happens to be Ford's home base. A 1969 letter of gratitude from the GOP county finance chairman advised Winter-Berger: "You have become a member of a small and distinguished group of Kent County 'Pace Setters' who donate $500 or more the Republican cause." The letter adds significantly: "Your good friend Jerry Ford was of course, re-elected Your kind of party support was a major factor." A veteran investigator for the House Interstate Commerce Committee has been caught running whisky, gin and wine across interstate lines. The arrest of the investigator, William Druhan, is all the more embarrassing because his boss, Chairman Harley Staggers, is one of Congress's most determined teetotalers. Druhan and his immediate superior, committee counsel Daniel Manelli, mindful of Staggers' abstemious ways, have kept him in the dark about the arrest for six months.

The Incident occurred on Feb. 3 when Druhan bought 40 bottles of Bourbon, Scotch, gin and wine for a party in Washington. Before delivering the booze, however, he crossed Into Virginia on another errand. A Virginia trooper was following him in an unmarked car. He caught Druhan near the Pentagon.

The charges were dropped after Druhan passed a four-month probation without further incidents. Asked about the episode, Druhan said he "had no intention of doing anything wrong." He ac-" knowledged, however," that be had planned to take some of the left-over liquor into Maryland. This, too, would have broken the law. Without Solution By Don Maclean NEW YORK People Places.

chess master Bobby Fischer a 1-way ticket to the moon, say "Aye!" Such a fund, I'd guess, would be filled long before Sen. George McGovern raises that 25,000,000 be asked for during his acceptance address at Miami Beach. Fischer has made the mythical Ugly American look like Frank Merriwell, in the eyes of millions at home and abroad. His money-grubbing, spoiled-brat deportment probably has persuaded countless peoples of foreign lands that he is typical of this land. Brezhnev should pin a medal on Boris Spassky, the champ, for having done more to endear Russia to the world than anything since the invention of borscht.

He missed that one, but then he's a politician and more inclined to think along party lines than sociological ones. However, I feel that the experiment proves my point, whatever that may be.

Along the same lines I have an idea for schools that teachers may find more helpful than even multiple choice questions, and this, too, could be applied to politics. You know bow at exam time the teacher writes a question on the blackboard and asks for a long "discussion" answer? Then kids write furiously to fill up note books. Well, why not just have students supplied with notebooks containing three (essay-answers? All the student would have to do Is read them all and pick the essay he liked best. If he picked the right one, he'd get as Same with speeches. Reporters could write them and the politicians could simply pick one and say "Okay, I'B say that," Mays, and other things."

WASHINGTON One of the things that baffles me perhaps the only thing is why all these answers the government's experts come up with don't result in more solutions. It's almost as though every time the government comes up with an answer, somebody changes the question.

Considering the difficulty our leaders are having these days, maybe we should make the questions easier. Why not state the problems in the form of multiple-choice, or true-false questions. After all, that idea makes the grading of papers easier for teachers; it makes stupid kids appear to be right at least one-third to one-half of the time; this, in turn, makes it appear that teachers are doing a better job. By now, most of us are accustomed to problems like this from school days. This- whole, gener- ation grew up with multiple choice and true-false.

If society could only state the real problems of today ia that format. I'm sure our officials could cope. As it is, thanks to their schooling they cant invent "free form" answers to nonchoice questions. Think about It.
