Restaurants Planned

MOSCOW - (AP) - Fourteen
restaurants specializing each IN
the national food of one of the nat
ionalities of the Soviet Union are
to be opened in Moscow in the tu-
ture. At the present time there Is
only one such national restaur-
ant properly speaking in the cap
ital. That is the "Aragva," which
is a Georginan restaurant.
There are, however, other eating
places which specialize in some
particular type of food. For inst
ance, there is a Jewish dining
loom which serves Jewish dishes.
/ There are several restaurants
specializing in "pelmenyr'-a ST.
berian dish-and "blini' or Near
pancakes. There are special
"shashlyk" restaurants serving
mainly this famous Near Eastern
dish of brOiled lamb.
In fact it is possible even at the
present time to find nearly every
sort of specially prepared dish
either Russian by origin or typical
of one of the other natiOnalities OF
this country.
The new national" restaurants
however, will be something quite
new. They will be decorated
throughout in the style typical OF
the nationality which they repre-
sent. The entertainment will also
typical of the particular national.
ity and the food and drinks served
will not only be national" but il
many cases will actually be sen
by train or plane to Moscow from

A decision will be made by Sec
retary of Agriculture Brennan, pos
siblt next week Marketing quotas
would have to beaapproved by at
least two-thirds of the growers vo-
ting in a nationwide referendum.
But planting allotments do not re-
quire grower approval.
The departments crop reporting
board estimated this years wheat
crop at 1885,, 1897, 900 bushels, or
about 24,0O0,000 more than forecast
month ago. The estimate is only
81 100000 bushels short of the rec
ord 1947 crop.
The crop board said overall pro-
duction prospects on June 1 were
more promising than usual, with
the 1949 growing season starting
off we'll. 1t said reports from its
! field reporters were the most opti-
mistic in II years.
No forecast was given for corn
but the board said planting of this
vital feed grain crop was nearly
completed in most areas by June 1
which is slightly ahead of usual.
The prospect of a return to con
trolls of wheat marks a sharI
change in the grain situation dur
ing the past year.
Last year there was a wOrl'
shortage and Americans were hold
ing down on use of the grain Il

of production in war areas ha
helped change shortages into sur
pluses. This situation is being re

Gated the possibility of their us

the 1949 crop exceeded 1900 100000
bushels which it did-it might b
necessary under terms of crop con
troll laws to proclaim quotas.
Quotas tell farmers how muc
they can sell without running int
stiff penalties. Excess sales ar
subject to a penalty tax equal t
half the governments price SUI
port rate. On next years wheat, tn
penalty might be as much as

Which Way for
Illini Schools
In Fall?

CHICAGO Aug. II (ANP)-
Now thae the common school fu-
nd appropriation billie with the
anti-discrimination rider attached,
is law, citizens through the state
are wondering just which way the
administration will go in issuing
funds to schools. The big question
on every ones mind is "will seq
regated schools in Illinis get their
money from the state.
According to the law, as con-
tanned in tn school fund bill, "no
part of such appropriation shall
be distributed to any school dist
riot in which any student is ex-
cluded from or segregated in any
public school because af race, CO.
lor or nationality" That's the law
But Public schools in at least
a dozen counties openly practice
segregation and discrimination.
The anti-jim crow rider to the
bill was hung there by Rep. Chas.
Jenkins, and barely got by the leg
islature. It has been made a law,
but COP state superintedent of
Public Instruction, Vernon Mic
kells doesn't want any part of it.
He says it's not up to him to en-
force the provision.

Study Reveals
Negroes Produce
Better

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug.
10. (NIPS)-William l.. Crump,
a graduate of Lincoln university
,(Mo.) is the author of a recently
released graduate study at North
western university which reveals
that both employers and employees
believe Negroes are better pro-
ducers in ~interracial rather than
segregated work units.
Under the direction of Albert
C. Fries, associate professor Of
business education at Northwest
ern, Crump interviewed employers
and employees in 10 companies
employing white and Negro work
ers for the data. The study also
included a treatment of Is ex-
clusively Negro establishments.
To many observers, Crump's
study indicates that competition
between the twor aces serves to
stimulate proficiency and personal
endeavors.

Negro Mental
Patients Get
Equal Treatment

BIRMINGHAM, Aug. II (ANP)
although Alabama and other
southern states are noted for
their biased and inequality Of
treatment according to Negroes,
Alabama stands out as an except
ion in one phase--the care Of the
mentally ill. Though facilities are
seperate, there is no discriminate
ion in provisions made for white
and Negro patients, and the care
given both races is good.
Alabama has two mental hos
pitfalls, Searcye at Mt. Vernon in
Mobile county, where mentally-ill
Negroes are sent and Bryce hos
pital, for whites.
Searcy occupies 35 of
land, and is enclosed by a long
brick wall averaging 16' #. in
height and two TT. thick. The
land was once the site of the Mi.
Vernon Barracks military reser-
'vation, and the hospital was
named after DR.. James T. Searcy,
white, then superintendent Of
state hospitals. Prior to that, Ne
groe patients had been kept at
Bryce.
The hospital has 1854 patients,
836 of whom are men. Some are
housed in old structures which
were built in the days of the
