The total coloring of a graph G is a coloring of its vertices and edges in which any two adjacent or incident elements of F(G)u£(G) are colored with different colors. Behzad [1] and Vizing [9] conjectured independently that the total chromatic number χ, (G) of any graph G with the maximum degree A (G) is at most A (G) + 2. This conjecture was confirmed for A (G) = 3 by Vijayaditya [8] and for A (G) ̂ 5 by Kostochka [4]. The entire coloring of a planar graph G is a coloring of its vertices, edges and faces in a similar fashion. Kronk and Mitchem [6] conjectured the bound Xe(G) ^ A (G) + 4 and proved it for A (G) = 3. I proved in [2] :
