An Item of to meet Increased costa of construction on projects already authorized by the Legislature la also included In the outlay. Tha Legislature killed a measure under which the mayor of Boston would not be able to run for re-election. Airport Development Pushed A measure for- a bond Issue of $6,000,000 for the continued development of the state-owned Logan International Airport was passed on overwhelming roll call votes.

The House passed It on roll call vote of 156 to 2 and the Senate by a vote of 33 to 0. A large part of the increase this year came through the legislative action granting state employees permanent pay Increase ranging from $360 to $600 to individuals. Those hikes made the total state pay roll $45,000,000 for the next fiscal year. In contrast to the 1941 total state pay roll of $34,000,000, These permanent pay raises replaced the "temporary, cost-of-liv ing" increases granted originally In 1943. Members of the House and Sen ate were generous to themselves, too, in the 1945 session.

They upped their qwn salaries from $2000 to $2500 a year, and revised the former travel Allowance into a travel and expense allotment.1 Under the latter, the travel allowances remained practically the same, but members living less than 50 miles from the State House now $10 weekly, and those living larther away, $20 weekly for expenses. After a two-day deadlock on the amount of Increased taxation the state would ask from the tracks, the Senate and House agreed on a compromise measure which is expected to bring $10,500,000 into the, state treasury for old age assistance. The new measure on race track taxes represents a jump of about $2,000,000 over the. previous tax on racing. The compromise was adopted only after two conference comm-t-tees had been appointed by the speaker 'of the House and president of the Senate to iron out the differences between the two branches.

Despite formal announcement made more than, a year ago by M. M. Gouseff, head of the Amtorg Trading that the purchase of American goods and services for the postwar reconstruction and development of Russia would be made through his co-operation, there was ampla evidence that Mr.

Heller, would take an active part in such tiensactions. Soviet Seeks U. S. Products With the Soviet embarking on the latest five-year plan decreed by Premier Joseph Stalin, Mr, Gouseff reported that Russia would utilize American products and methods "on a scale unprecedented in history," and that purchases would Include a vast aeries of plants for the manufacture of building materials and equipment and- for making prefabricated houses and parts. An example of Russia's determination to expand her Industrial program of mass production, to mechanize her industry end te bring her whole method of factory production up to American levels was seen In the shipment to Russia last October of a mechanical press weighing 1,500,000 pounds, one of the largest ever built in this country.

It was constructed at the Brooklyn plant of the E. W. Bliss Company. In January, 1945, it was report-, ed that Russia had requested mor-i than $2,000,000,000 worth of goods from thb United States, Great Britain and Canada under the fourth lend-lease protocol to buy heavy machine tools, presses and other Industrial equipment, but that the United States had turned down the request on the ground that these items would be more useful for Russias postwar program.
