LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
Sleeping Dogs Are Real Hazards
BY JAMES BlRcHFlELD

I think that I understand
something of the feelings of the
English lady who, according to
a report in The Field, trippec
over a Labrador retriever lying
lin a dark hallway.
While she has my sympathy
I also agree with the English
Judge who held that she was not
entitled to collect damages. Had
the court allowed damages, ! am
afraid that many owners Of Lab
radors would have been con-
fronted with a source of constant
worry.
Being the owner Of, or rather
having been owned by a Labra-
dor. I have first-hand knowledge
of this breed. And If there is one
thing that a Labrador likes to dc
above all else, it is to lie COM
fortably in dark Railways.
y y
During the warmer months
this Labrador habit is not quite
so alarming. for then there is
usually a CLEAN from a bright
red lolling tongue discernible
through the gloom. But in the
cold months. beware. For the
Labrador's black coat blends per-
fectly with the darkness of the
hallway. and when you discover
your pet it is too late.
l have sprawled in many d.
Irections. usually ending up
knocking over a table or splitting
ia shelf of glass jars. ! never
seem to suspect the presence OF
Tar until it is too late.
The writer in The Field sug-
geSt that perhaps it might be
/ just as well for owners of Labra-
doris, and, for that matter, al
other breeds of domesticatec
dogs, to give up the fight Of try.
ing to keep the animals of the
furniture. Then the chances Of
meeting them in dark passages
might be lessened.

IS Oil Firms
Asked 10 Boost
Europe Supply
BY the Associated Press


The Government ally
asked Is United States oil firms
yesterday to pool their resources.
reroute tanker fleets and swap
markets in an effort to relieve
petroleum shortages in Western
Europe.
The aim is to replace some of
the Middle Eastern oil lost to
Europe through the blocking of
the Suez Canal and thus stave
OF suffering. unemployment and
perhaps depression.
The plan. drafted by the IS
companies participating, is de-
signed to increase by about
$4,000 barrels of oil daily the
normal tanker movement from
United States gulf ports and. to-
a small extent, from Venezuela.
About 100000 barrels will go
to Europe and the rest to Atlantic
Coast ports in the United States
and Canada to replace oil which
formerly came from the Middle
East fields.
Antitrust Exemption
The plan was set in action
by Director Arthur S. Flemming
of the Office of Defense Mobi-
lization. He made public an
agreement which temporarily
exemptS the firms taking part
from antitrust action.
Although the plan bears the
approval of Attorney General
Brownell, Mr.. Flemming said he
is somewhat concerned about
the antitrust aspects, but he
added: THE seriousness of the
situation outweighs the anti
trust considerations. We are not
going to permit the companies
TO do anything that would be
contrary to public policy"
The plan bore the Endorsement
Of the Defense, Interior and
State Departments, as well as
the approval of Mr.. Brownell.
Mi. Flemming stressed that the
Government makes the rules and
policies the entire program.
No Shortage Seen Here
Assistant Secretary of the In
terrier Felix WormSer said the
program should not result in any
petroleum shortages in this
country. He said his superior.
Secretary Seaton, has the
power to terminate any pro-
gram which is causing or con-
tributing to" domestic short
ages.
The first tanker reroutings,
announced by the Interior De-
partment, are effective until aext
March 81, but the expectation
is that they will then be renewed.
Officials have estimated that it,
will table a year to restore normal
Mideast oil movements.
They have been reduced both
by the Suez blockade and by
breaks in pipelines from the
Middle East to Mediterranean
ports.
Seizure Spurred Plan
Work on the emergency plan
started soon after Egyptian
President Nasser seized the Suez
Canal last July. The program
was revived in modified form
when the canal was blocked BY
sunken ships during the British
French attack on Egypt.
Since that time United States
exports have been stepped up
through normal commercial
channels. The aim of the newly
activated program is to provide
about 100000 barrels of oil daily
to Europe. With amounts still
coming from the Middle East,
that is calculated to provide 80
per cent of Western Europe's
normal needs.
officials said they could not
estimate how soon this goal
would be reached.
