Russians Favorable To Farmer Exchange Ready To Exchange Farmer Delegation MOSCOW (INS) — The Soviet Union hits announced its willingness to exchange delegations of farmers with the U. 8. and wants to know how Washington feels about the proposed project. The formal request for a U. 8. decision on the matter was contained in u note delivered to the U, S. embassy and reprinted in today’s Soviet press. In Washington, a state department spokesman said the note was “under study." President Eisenhower said last week that visits by Russian farmers might be a good thing. The Soviet note acknowledged the idea for the exchange originated in an editorial in the Des Moines (la.). Register last Feb, 10. The Register’s proposal was made after Soviet Communist party secretary Nikita 8. Khrushchev recommended the introduction of a U. S.-type corn-and hog economy in the Soviet Union. Khrushchev made the recommendation in the course of a speech criticizing Russian agricultural development. Later the party’s central committee called for new. higher goals particularly in livestock production. Other criticisms of Soviet agriculture were issude Thursday in a joint decree by the party and the Soviet council of ministers. The decree called for decentralizing agricultural planning and giving more initiative to local organizations and individual farmers. It cited “serious errors and deficiencies" caused by the “extreme centralization” of past planning. Former premier Georgi Malenkov accepted responsibility for the “failings” in Russian agriculture at the time of his resignation last month. The Russian farmers, if the Register’s suggestion were followed, would study U. S. methods of corn and hog production. The Soviet note said the exchange of delegations would be “useful." and added: "Soviet agricultural organs are ready to receive an American agricultural delegation in the USSR and to send a Soviet delegation to the U.S. "... The Soviet government would like to know how the U. S. government regards the Question . . ,’’ Publication of the Russian communication followed the U. S. announcement that 11 Soviet student editors and youth newspaper editors will be permitted to visit the U. S. this year. Washington officials were takWashington officials were taking a cautious look at the farmers’ exchange idea to see if it would be in the “national interest.” They pointed out the suggestion followed the recent Soviet propaganda theme that it actually is the U. S„ not Russia, that has an “iron curtain." In Des Moines, the president of the lowa Farm Bureau Federation, acclaimed the Russian bid as an awakening to the “fact that a successful agriculture must be free.” LOCAL CSSS LOAN CASH LOANS—REFINANCING • YOUR CAR • APPLIANCES • FURNITURE • PERSONAL PROPERTY ONE PLACE TO PAY . . .

Russian Trade With Red Bloc Is Increasing Making Progress In Trade With Nations Under Russian Bloc UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (INS) —The Soviet Union has made important progress in developing trade among Communist bloc nations in Europe and the Far East. This conclusion was drawn today from a report on commerce behind Iron Curtain prepared by the U. N. economic commission for Europe. The study showed that almost four-fifths of the imports and exprts of Russia and her satellites came from or were sent to other Communist states. In five years from 1948 to 1953, turnover of trade increased about five times. In contrast, there was a reported increase of only 22- percent in Red trade with Western Europe during the first nine months of 1954. The U. N. document was drafted on the basis of fragmentary reports from behind the curtain of silence drawn over most economic figures by the Communist governments. 'lt showed the Soviet rulers placed great emphasis — partciularly under former Premier Georgi Malenkov —on coordinating. the national economies of Eastern Europe and Communist China with Moscow’s new five-year plan. The over all result appeared to be an increase in Russian economic as well as political control over its satellites. The Soviet Union, absorbing close to 40 percent of the satellites’ exports and providing them with the same percentage of their imports, rose from 16th to 6th place among the world’s trading nations. The report said that (Red China became the “leading trade partner" of Russia and “now accounts for more than one-fifth of the total trade turnover of the Soviet Union." East Germany’s economy h« been forced into the Soviet orbit and ranks second in turnover of Jtrade with Russia. Poland was third, Czechoslovakia fourth. ■' Vacation Church School Planned A vacation church school will be held at the Pleasant Mills (Methodist church May 9 to 15.

Cost-Price Squeeze Tightens On Fanner Price Drop Blamed For Farm Problems WASHINGTON (INS) — The agriculture department took 6. hard look today at farm operating and living costs and frankly concluded that "the cost-price squeeze has tightened appreciably.” The department blames the current situation almost entirely on the decline in .commodity prices over the past year. It says farmers’ costs have changed every little during that period. An official report on the farm cost situation indicates,,, that in mid-February farmers were pairing less than one percent more than a year earlier for production items, interest, taxes and wages. The report noted that there was one important exception — seeds. These went up an estimated 12 per cent during the past year because of short supplies and increased demand. It was further pointed out that, as a result of the drought, many thousands of acres of grasses and legumes will have to be planted this spring and next fall.' There is also the problem of what to do with millions of acres diverted from wheat, cotton and other major crops. It is expected that many of these acres will be sown to grasses and legumes. Both of these factors will step up the demand for seed which may mean a further sharp rise in prices for this production item dur ing 1955. The report says farm wage rates are a little lower in some areas than they were a year ago, and many farmers will take the view that "it’s about time.” This is the one cost factor which probably has increased more than any other since the pre-war period. Today's report estimates the farm wage rate climb since 1941 at 300 per cent. Officials say the wage situation is one of the primary reasons why farm mechanization has progressed at such a rapid rate, although the scarcity of labor entered into the picture. Moreover, prices of farm machinery have been rising sharply too—about 100 per cent since the pre-war period. ”7 The report says that, on the other hand, the cost of some production items such as fertilizer and gasoline have remained fairly stable. .'7 On the tax front, the report held out little prospect for farm relief in 1955. It said rates this year may advance to a point about four per cent higher than in 1951. JOIN!

Jury Deliberating Albert Fuller Fate Fate Os Defendant In Hands Os Jury BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (INS) — An all-male jury resumes deliberation today in the case of Albert Fuller, ousted Russell county deputy sheriff charged with the murder of crime fighter Albert U Patterson. •- . The fate of the 35-year-old defendant was placed in the hands of the Jurors Thursday night and they deliberated for two hours and 33, minutes before Judge J. Russell McElroy ordered them locked up for the night. Before the Jury retired to begin its deliberations. Judge McElroy told them that they can find Fuller guilty of first or second degree murder or acquit him. If the Jury convicts the defendant of first degree murder, it can recommend death in the electric chair the penalty demanded by the state — or a life term, s It also can recommend a life term or a prison term of not less than 10 years under a second degree verdist. Patterson was shot down in a Phenix City alley last June 18, shortly after he won the Demo- . cratlc nomination for Alabama attorney general on a campaign pledge to clean, up vice and gambling in Phenia City. » The slaying brought martial rule to the former "sin towrf of the south” and torched off a grand Jury investigation resulting in hundred* of Indictments. Fuller is the first of three former law enforcement officers to face trial for the killing. , : , The two others — deposed county solicitor Arch Ferrell and exattorney general SI Garrett — will be tried later. ■.■ . i CLAIMS AI.LOUEO BY BOARD Ok COMMISSIONERS Mnreb 7, 1955 Citizens Tele.
