Strange Vigil Of Collie
Causes Volunteers To Dig
DOG HAS WATCHED
ABANDONED MINE
FOR lo DAYS

SPRING CITY, Mo. IRA gaunt
Scotch collie dog stood watch at
an abandoned mine today-the 18th
day Of is strange vigil.
And rs the dog watched, volun-
teer workers renewed their ef-
forts to solve the mystery--if any
--of the flooded lead mine.
No one knows why the animal
has remained ct the brink of the
mine shaft near this Southwestern
Missouri town.
Residents Of the area speculate
mat perhaps the dogs owner met
with foul play or accidentally tum-
bled into the shaft. But no one
has been reported missing.

oaid he was convinced something
e Importance will be found.
The latest effort by volunteer
workers to delve into the mine is
. pumping operation. They hope
% pump out enough water to I'M
cover platform that spans the
shaft LIS feet below the surface.
The platform presumably would
stop any object that might have
fallen into the mine.
Dragging operations carried on
oarlier proved fruitless.
The dog Is . stranger in the
community.
Since It first was noticed at the
ahaft almost three weeks ago,
nearby residents and the Humane
Society have provided the collie
with food. Il also has been fur.

Earlier this week the animal col.
lapsed. A report II had been

Ncs from nearby Joplin, Mo. Two
veterinarians stood by In Joplin
ready to treat the animal.
But BY the time the police ar
rived ct the shaft. the dog had
revived. II apparently was over

Crowds have flocked to the mine

The collie shows little concern

Congress Approves
Compromise Bill on
Farm Price Supports
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BY the Associofed Press
A compromise bill guaranteeing
that prices of six basic crops will
be supported by the Government
at 80 per cent of parity during
1858 and 1854 was approved by
Congress last night.
The Senate passed the bill by
voice vote and a short time later
the House also passed it by voice
vote. thus sending the measure to
the White House.
AS first passed by the House
the bill would have extended this
guarantee for an additional year
or through 1855. But the Senate
had refused to accept the manda-
tory support provision at all.
Provides Formulas.
The compromise measure also
provides that parity prices for the
six crops-cotton, wheat, corn
rice. tobacco and peanuts-be de-
termined under either one of two
formulas through 1855.
This part of the measure was
not in dispute between the two
branches Of Congress. It is de-
signed to give producers of these
crops the benefit of whichever
party formula is higher for an ad-
ditional two years.
Parity is a price determined by
the Government to be fair to
farmers in terms of things they
buy.
Agriculture Secretary Brannan
already has announced that the
six crops will be supported at 80
per cent Of parity this year. But
under 1949 law he has authority
to reduce support levels as low as
IS per cent of parity, depending
on supplies, except for tobacco.
Effective Four Years.
The 1949 act also provided for a
new parity formula but directed
that for four years beginning
January I, 1850. both it and the
old formula could be used in COM
putting parity prices.
Support prices during this
transition period were to be based
on whichever Of these formulas
gave the higher Price.
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee said that the dropping of
this dual.System at the end Of 1853
probably would mean lower parity
prices for four of the six basic
commodities wheat, peanuts,
corn and cotton.
Also retained in the compromise
bill was an amendment bringing
long-staple cotton under the
mandatory price support system
at the 80 per cent of parity level.
