House Passes
Compromise
Farm Measure
Washington (ap - The
House, pressed for action by the
farm belt. Thursday passed and
sent to the Senate an eleventh-
hour compromise farm bill.
Yielding to the pressure from in
dustry, it reversed action of last
week to break a legislative stale
mate in the closing days of the
Congress.
The compromise bill, pro
nounced satisfactory by the Eisen
hower administration and Demo
cratic House leaders, was passed
under abbreviated procedure re
quiring a two-thirds vote.
Passage was by voice vote.
The bill now goes to conference
with the Senate to compromise
differences in conflicting versions.
Senate farm leaders announced in
advance they would not accept
the House bill Without change.
The major effect of new farm
legislation will be to forestall
sharp cuts due next year in plant
ing allowance for cotton and rice
farmers. It would peg cotton acre
age at 16,000,000 acres, and rice
at this year's level.
In the absence of congressional
action, cotton planting would drop
to around 14,200.000 acres from
17,700,000 this year, and rice to
around 1,100,000 acres from this
year's planting of 1,652,596.
Despite the compromise label
hung on the bill, it was little dif
ferent from the measure which
the House rejected a week ago
Wednesday.
It eliminates dollars-and-cents
pnee support rates of $1.18 a bush
el for corn and 30 cents a pound
for cotton, and instead fixing the
minimum support level' for corn,
rice and cotton at 65 per cent of
parity.
For cotton, there would he a
gradual stepdown in the support
level at 5 per cent a year during
the 1959-61 interim period before
the 65 per cent floor would take
effect in 1962.
The compromise also extends
the wool subsidy act for another
three years, and approximately
doubles the amount of money
available for price-support pay
ments.
Ashland Sets
Fund Drive
ASHLAND Alfred S. V. Carpen
ter of Medford has accepted chair
manship of a committee which will
initiate a drive for funds to com
pletely rebuild the Oregon Shake
spearean Festival theater in Asn
land, Robert Reinholdt, president
of the Festival Association, an
nounced. . Carpenter, a festival patron for
many years, said that the tuna
raising campaign would probably
be planned to continue over a long
period of time, but that the im
mediate goal would be for suffi
cient funds to rebuild the festival
stage before rehearsals begin for
the 1959 season.
Named to the executive com-
mittee to arrange for the cam-
paign. which will probably begin
in October, were Glenn L. Jack-
son and Otto Frohnmayer of Med-
lord; ana Airs, jonn c. couon,
William Dawkins, and Robert
Reinholdt of Ashland.
The present festival stage was
built of wood in 1947, primarily
by volunteer labor using donated
materials. While thei audience in
the outdoor theater is not endan
gered, the state fire marshal has
declared the condition of the struc
ture as it now stands, to be dan
gerous to the actors and staff.
Ueyond this, valuable costumes
and lighing equipment stored in
the flimsy structure have suffered
water damage frequently in re
cent years.
Long range goal of the campaign
will be funds to build not only a
new stage, but improved audi
ence facilities, public rest rooms,
new stage lighting, adequate dress
ing room and shop facilities, an
administration building, and a new
structure for the Institute of Ren
aissance Studies.

Chile Irked
By Argentina
BUENOS. AIRES (AP) Ar
gentina has occupied a tiny island
near Cape Horn, deepening a dis
pute with Chile.
A high Argentine naval officer
said Wednesday night 28 men had
landed on Snipe Island from the
destroyer San Luis. There was no
official confirmation from the
navy ministry. .
Marines from the San Luis
landed on Snipe Island last Satur
day, dismantled a lighthouse be
ing built by Chile and returned to
the ship. Chile protested Sunday.
Apparently the Argentine detach
ment put ashore to prevent a
Chilean counterstroke.
Chile withdrew its ambassador
from Buenos Aires Wednesday
after accusing Argentina of ag
gression. The Chilean armed
forces were ordered into a state
of readiness. There were demon
strations in Chile.
Formosa Says
Migs Downed
TAIPEI, Formosa (AP) The
Chinese Nationalists claimed they
shot down two Communist .MIG17s
and possibly a third Thursday in
a battle over Formosa Strait.
One of the seven Nationalist F86
Sabrejets that tangled with eight
MIGs crashed into the sea while
returning to Formosa after the
battle. The Nationalist air force
said the plane developed mechani
cal trouble and was not lost
through enemy action.
The battle was fought 15 to 20
miles south of the Nationalist held
island of Matsu, off the Commu
nist mainland. It was the first
big clash since MIGs shot down
two Nationalist F84 Thunderjets
July 29.
Nationalist forces have been in
a state of emergency because of
a reported Communist military
buildup on the mainland opposite
Formosa. The defense ministry
says the Reds have been bring
ing more Russian built MIG17s
into the area.
The MIG17 is a soupedup ver
sion of the MIG15. which U. S.
Sabre jets bested in the Korean
War. but all three types and thel
Thunderjets also are now obsolete,
The Matsu Island group had
several air raid alarms as several
flights of Communist planes came
over. Antiaircraft opened up on
one group of eight MlG17s, but
no hits were claimed.
The Reds continued lobbing
shells at the Quemoy group just
off the mainland 150 miles south
of Matsu. The defense ministry
said 39 shells were fired at Tateng
Island without effect.
Sub Strives
To Set Mark
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
U.S. atomic submarine Scawolf
apparently is striving for a new
underwater endurance record
while on a cruise in the North
Atlantic.
The U.S.S. Skate, another nu
clear sub now on an exploratory
trip in the North Pole region,
holds the record for longest time
undersea 31 days, 5'j hours.
The mark was set last spring.
The Navy said it didn't know
whether the Seawolf would set a
new record, adding that this was
not the purpose of the submarine's
present trip.
A spokesman said the Scawolf,
which left Groton. Conn.. Aug. 5.
is undergoing tests to determine
how long the sub and its crew
can function away from the
earth s atmosphere.
