T. E.

Public Law 86-389, approved on February 20, pegged the 1960 crop at the 1959 level. In subsequent years, Watson said, the support price will j i be adjusted upward or down-1 ward from the 1959 level In 1t direct proportion to t h e t changes in the parity index'' using the previous three years moving average.
