Moscow's report of farm life in the U.

S. was reported today by U. S. government monitors. The report started out by saying "American propaganda spreads lies about the high standard of living among the American farmers, and deliberately gives false statistics on average income rates to try to hide the real condition of the bulk of the American farmers who are living a wretched and semi-starved existence." "As the result of the constant.

enrichment of bigger companies and the ruin of small farmers, in the period from 1935 to 1950 alone, million small farmers and land tenants were forced to leave their land," the Russians were told. "The housing conditions of farmers are also despicable. They live ramshackle dwellings, times even without roofs." Quoting from what it described as an official American report, Moscow said that in the South, millions have been forced to leave the land because of farm mechanization. There was no mention of Russia's own ambitious farm ization program, believed to behind schedule. Forum-- (Continued from Page Four) ty grist mills.

Let me write that the local grain mills still meet a need in the communities that they serve; these mill owners pay heavy taxes in their local communities. These local mill-men have extended needed credit to local farmers when the farm going gets difficult. I knew of one grain dealer who never was willing to put a time limit on any statements that he sent out to his farm customers. It would be a dark day, deed, for many Franklin County infarmers if any new developments force these local mill men out of business. WILLIAM GLENN BOYLE, Gill.

Get folder showing rates at your age. THE GREENFIELD SAVINGS BANK On Beacon By Arthur W. Woodman BOSTON- -Four hundred goes to 150 once and leaves a deficit of 250. This is a new kind of deficit confronting the state It is not a financial deficit but rather a lack of space for automobiles. The whole problem stems from the independence of Norman donald, the genial.

executive. tor of the Massachusetts Federation of Taxpayers Associations. Wins Court Test MacDonald this past week won a court test to establish the fact that lawmakers were exceeding their rights in setting aside certain streets on and about Beacon Hill for parking of vehicles owned by the legislators. As a result of the court's decision, MacDonald caused more alarm than he did when he drove hard to press for repeal of the liberal pension plan legislators had voted for themselves. The effect of the MacDonald court test is that legislators have been denied the right to designate streets where their cars may be parked without suffering the Boston is probably the most congested city in the state.

Visitors to the state house might just as well park their cars in Worcester or Quincy and take a taxi to Boston as try to buck the traffic flow and traffic jam in the Hub. Streets Too Narrow Traffic control efforts have been tried over the years and Boston streets are still SO narrow and winding that fire protection is hit or miss because equipment is forced to poke along at two and three miles an hour to make some of the tortuous turns. The traffic on Beacon Hill is in such a state of affairs that property on the Hill could burn to the ground before necessary fire fighting equipment could reach the scene. To ease the situation, a group of engineers were summoned to plan a program to remove as many vehicles as possible from the streets around the state house. Four members of the house of representatives received the ing of former house ways and means committee chairman, Anthony R.

Doyle (D) of Worcester, to go ahead and work out a plan. Reps. John J. Toomey (D) Cambridge, Albert E. Wood (R) of Easton, Leo Cournoyer (D) Southbridge and Jeremiah J.

Brennan (D) of Boston called on public works to establish a pattern for parking at the officials, rear of the state house. That parking lot was constructed. It houses approximately 150 vehi- cles. Immediate Overflow But the rub comes in that there are 400 vehicles of the 280 state legislators, governor's councillors and other VIP's which have to be parked around the center of the state government. The group which made initial plans for the parking lot at the rear of the state house foresaw the ultimate ban on street side parking by legislators, and were ready to make other arrangements.

There has been a great to do about parking privileges and some -of the newspapers have made quite an issue of the fact that one of the who maintains facilities about the legislative employes- the Negro house lobby and also favors members by shining their shoes-has a RECORDER GAZETTE MONDAY, OCT. 13, 1952 5 Nearing 100th, Mrs. Emma Marvel Dies in Millers MILLERS FALLS Mrs. Emma Lizzie Marvel, 99, of 38 Bridge Street, widow of Edwin Benjamin Marvel, died at her home early Sunday morning. She was born Nov.

1, 1852, in Brattleboro, the daughter of Emerson P. and Elizabeth (Cutler) Goodell. Mrs. Marvel had made her home here for 80 years. She was a life-long member of the First Congregational Church and was soloist there for many years.

Her hobbies were music and flowers. Mrs. Marvel sang her first solo at the age of five in the Brick Church in Montague. Her garden was always a show place and this year had as many flowers as she had 50 years ago, as she was affectionately called, was in remarkable health and her mind was keen, so much so her family were making plans for open house on her 100th birthday. She is survived by one son, Les.

Millers Falls Guild Meets Wednesday right to park his car in the same zone set aside for lawmakers. Newspapermen assigned to the state house have the same privileges and may us the parking space it there is room. Coal Pocket Idea But getting back to how best to solve the problem' of providing for vehicles owned by the legislators.

the Toomey group over. a year ago started surveys to convert an abandoned coal pocket beneath the state house as an underground facility to house automobiles. Pending now is legislation which would direct the state public works department to make an engineering survey to determine the cost of making use of the space available underground. Rough" estimates indicate that conversion of the old unused coal pocket would accommodate cars. Removal of legislators' vehicles from the public highways would make added space available for the police and traffic officials in Bosto regulate for parking by cars.

May Hit Back Probably one of the most interesting reactions to the MacDonald court decision is the effect that court ruling will have on legislators who will consider legislation relating to judges during the next session. To understand the entire picture it must be borne in mind that shortly after Labor Day lawmakers were blasted for haying voted expanded pension benefits for their former colleagues. The public indignation was SO great that not only did the repentant legislators revoke the more liberal benefits voted in final hours the last session, they per hint went whole hog and wrote their own benefits out of existence. That irked them no end. Then to have the courts find that the legislators were unable to set aside special places on the streets for the parking of their cars added insult to injury.

But judges, even though they are expected tonterpret the law, are also subject Pensions in Balance Over the years Massachusetts taxpayers have granted substantial benefits to judges who retire after years of service on the bench. The jurists do not contribute to their pensions which are high in ratio to the annual salaries fixed for the courts. The reason for such high pension benefits is the claim that judicial pay is not comparable with the earnings a lawyer could make in private practice. But the mere fact that the pensions are paid without any contributions by the judges, while legislators paid annually into their own fund, has distressed lawmakers and there is a plan underfoot to call for legislation next year make judges pay for their retirement benefits along with all other classes of public officials. It is coincidental with the court decree that legislators cannot have special parking privileges on Boston streets.
