9-FoOt Python Run Over In Downtown Houston, Property of Snake Charmer

HOUSTON, Tex, lR - Red haired Barbara Childs, ar appren- tice snake handler from Dallas, yesterday mourned the tragic death of Oscar, a nine-foot python.
 She read in the newspapers Wednesday that his body had been found at the door of a downtown department store. Police said a car ran over him.
 "Oscar was in a water tub with Sheba and Prince - two other pythons," said Mis- Childs, 19. We were curing them of a bad case of mites.
 "When we read in the paper that Oscar had been found, we ran to the tub and Oscar was missing"
 Until Miss Childs got in touch with them, police had been puzzled how the python got there.
 Oscar was the property of Miss Catherine Kelly of San Antonio. Mis Childs said her part in their act is to drape rock python about her while Miss Kelly lectures in side shows.
 Oscar disappeared from their trailer park quarters five miles from downtown.
 'It's hard to believe he craWled that far. I think he was kidnapped" said Miss Childs.
 She planned to retrieve his re- mains from the city dump.
 "I'H have him skinned and the skin tanned" she said. Ut won't be the same as having Oscar, but it will be something"

Soviets Agree To Halt Dumping Tin On World Markets, Disrupting Trade

BOSTON - The SoVietS have agreed to limit their tin exports for 1859 under terms of a new agreement reached with the In ternational Tin Council Accord ing to Reuters reports, which an ticipate official announcements expected shortly, the acceptance by the Soviets of export li1nita- tions implied that importing re- strictions - barring Soviet tin from such countries as France. Britain, the Netherlands and Den mark - had been lifted.
 While the agreement is not ex- pected to have a sharp impact on international tin prices, there is hope of a stability that was not apparent in 1858 transactions. Last year, as producing countries cut back exports, Soviet traders dumped quantities of evidently stockpiled tin on world markets and disrupted trade and prices.
 Experts believe this move large ly depleted the Soviet reserves and that there is consequently little worry that the Soviets will again this year, export large quan- titles of tin.
