catty lea ed CHAOS MAY HIT LAWLESS RURAL AREA OF RUSSIA (continued from page 1) sian army officers have told me they serve the regime but hate it. I was riding with a Russian secret police officer near Lvov when someone shot at him: from. the dark. In Belarussia, I had occasion to pass through two rural areas at night. On one of these trips I was given two armed MVD (police) guards; on the other, four MVD riflemen guarded me until I was . aboard a train at Minsk. On both of these occasions, the “MVD officers merely said that conditions were unsettled in the area and a guard was necessary. People from each of the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia have. told me of this bitter. hatred of large’ fractions of the population against their Communist overlords, and of the cruel repressive ‘measure of the MVD troops. “I have talked to men and women from Siberia, Armenia, Georgia, Birobidzhan, Uzbek and Kazakhstan, all have told the same story of police terror, and repression. Into each of the areas I have mentioned, MVD secret police and MVD armed troops have been sent ‘to suppress the population. From each of these areas many people have been deported and imprisoned.’ The supporting MVD troop, which give armed power to the secret police are not stationed in. the rUrfayereas but in the cities.

Meuron, engineer of the Pacific Gas ani Electric comLany, presented the ideas. Meuron said the plan. would make available lighting of the residential district. from funds now being spent to light the busihess district, Lighting for the susiness zone would be paid for with funds from assessments of “property owners in the lighting district at a fixed rate based on lot frontage. The district lighting plan is in operation in Auburn, Meuron reported, and is working very satisfactorily. It has’ been* adopted by Grass Valley. From one-third to one-half of expense of operation of lights at . intersections along state _highways which run through a city, is paid by the state, Meuron said. The power company will* proceed with preparation of the plan and it is expected the planning commission will probably submit it to the city council about the first of the year. If the city council approves the plan, Meuron said, it should be in operation within five years. «. “Tt PUMPKIN CROWNS QUEEN EUREKA, Ill.—Clarabelle Garber wears her pumpkin crown and invites everyone to attend the Pumpkin Festival here today., Eureka claims to be the pumpkin center of the world.

Passage of Proposition No. 2 would reduce the federal government contribution by almost $40,000,000 annually, now spent with California merchants. There’s more to this measure than the personal attacks launched on pension leaders for daring to champion the aged and blind.
