ISTANBUL, Turkey CBy
AirmaiD.-If you want a cup
OF that famous sirupy brew
known the world over as
Turkish coffee, look for it in
New York, Paris or any other
place except Turkey.
Hundreds Of the traditional
little cafes dating back to the
days when the Turks con-
quered Constantinople are
still here. But the leisurely
patrons who formerly slipped
dozens Of small cups Of coffee
while smoking and gazing at
the Bosporus or the Golden
Horn must now be satisfied
with glasses of weak tea or
Turkish made Coca Cola.
Coffee can be found only on
the black market at $3.50 a
pound along with other i'm
ported goods.
Imitation in this country is
no longer creeping. It has
been trotting and now threat
ems to gallop. The Turkish
lire is officially pegged at 2.85
to the dollar. To encourage
tourism the government per-
nlitS exchange of the dollar
for $50 lire. But the black
market rate was IL a week
ago and is Is at this writing.
The government has pro-
hibited most luxury imports.
This means that everything
except certain rare industrial
products essential to the
country's economy-such as
spare parts for agricultural
m a chinery - has been
banned. Yet is is difficult
to see any real discomfort
among the people. There
was less grumbling when the
Turks had to give up their
coffee than when Renal
Ataturk ordered the aboli-
ton Of the fez, the traditional
headgear, some 80 years ago.
The average individual
shrugs his shoulders when he
is asked how he makes out
without his coffee or how he
copes with the spectacular
cost Of all items needed in
his daily life. He answers,
I'VE have seen worse times,
and better times are bound
to come"
The trotting depression Is
caused not so much by the
extravagant and ambitious
government programs to in.

ity as the rise in the stand

the last 10 years. For in
stance, Turkey used to ex-
port considerable quantities
Of eggs to Western Europe.
This export has fallen on
to almost nothing because
the peasants, who form Is
per cent Of this country's
population, are eating the
eggs instead Of selling them to
exporters.
Cotton and wool also were
exported in large quantities,
bringing In needed foreign
exchange. No farmer ever
dreamed Of buying his clothes
in stores. The wife doomed
the material and cut and
sewed for the entire family.
But now the farmer, who en-
joys a superficial prosperity
due to the government farm
price supports. is buying
clothing for the whole fam
lily. This has brought o con-
siderable demand for ready
made goods. Men and women
who formerly were satisfied
with q change Of garb every
three or four years are now
buying several a year. The
local manufacturers can
scarcely meet the demand Of

Who are the Red Russians?
They are the Soviet technicians
helping the Chinese run their
factories and train their In
dustrial workers. The hotels
and official places here are full
OF them.
Who are the White Russi-
ans? They are the pathetic
remnant Of q once prosperous
colony Of 10000. who first
settled here in Czarist days,
and whose numbers were later
replenished by refugees from
the Russian revolution. Having
fled from one Communist revo-
luton, they found themselves
engulfed in another. They fled
from Red Russia in 1917; in
1919 Red China submerged
them.

Most Are Unemployed

Everywhere in this strange
city, still Russian in its archi.
lecture and in many Of its
characteristics. one sees these
relics of q former day. They
are poorly dressed. and most Of
them are unemployed. They
have little now to do but exc
out their lives and dream about
the past.
Their numbers have dwin-
died. and today fewer than
1000 remain Of the vast colony
Of former times. Many have
departed in recent years, and
many more have applied to go.
Red China has no use for them,
and makes no objection to their
going.
A spokesman for the Central
Council Of the Soviet Overseas
Association in Hardin said that
of about $4,000 Russians living
in Hardin in 1949, $4,000 had
returned to the Soviet Union at
the invitation Of the Soviet
government. Others, he said.

But members Of the White

in Hardin to get them to 60 to

INTERESTING HISTORY ATTACHES
TO EFFORT FOR WRIGHT MEMORIAL
Next tuesday December II will be the 25th Anniversary Of
Dedication of This Project Which Was Achieved For Us
By Others. and Has Meant So Much to Dare County.

celebration which she was unable
to attend.
0rville Wright, was then sill
ver-haired man of So years, shy
and reserved, his health still inn
paired from the nearly fatal in
juries he suffered in a crash in
1908 which killed Lieut.. Thomas
E. Selfridge, the first man to lose
his life in an airplane accident.
When the man who was first to
fly came again to the great sand
dune from which he made his his
historic flight, he found that the
winds of the bleak North Carolina
coast had moved it more than 200
yards from its original position.
In fact it had moved much more
rapidly than the government of the
United States toward the laying of
the cornerstone of a national mon
ument to the honor of two of the
greatest inventors in history.
Even the form of the Wright
Memorial had not then been de-
cided although Wright Memorial
had been erected in France good
many years before.
During the 1928 exercises at
Kill Devil Hills another Secretary
of War, Dwight w. Davis, laid the
cornerstone of the memorial there.
Documents relating to the inven-
ton of the first airplane and the
first flights were placed within it
by Orville Wright. And with a
slightly melancholy smile, it was
reported then. Orville Wright re-
fused to make a speech at the an
niversary exercises. Another mem
orial, a great granite boulder,
erected by the National Aeronau-
teal Association, was unveiled by
it's president, Senator Hiram Bing-
ham, of Connecticut, himself an
aviator. 1t was located at the spot
where Orville Wright first left the
ground in the Kitty Hawk plane.
1t has been said that excepting
for an army plane that was forced
down nearby by motor failure, no
airplane ever visited the Kitty
Hawk sand dune area after the
departure of the Wright brothers
until December II, 1926, the
twenty-third anniversary of the
first flight. On that day the life
saving crew and the village folk
at Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk
could hardly believe their eyes
when they saw an all-metal mono
plane dive down out of the sky
and drop a memorial wreath on
Kill Devil Hill.
The wreath was dropped by Miss
Herta Junkers, representing her
father, DIR. Hugo Junkers, Ger
man builder of airplanes. Her pilot
was Fred Melchoir, fromer lieu
was Fred Melchoir, former lieu
tenant in the Swedish Royal Air
This pilgrimage to Kill Devil
Hills in 1928, the last lap of which
had to be made by boat, was the
principal event of the International
Civil Aeronautics Conference which
President Calvin Coolidge address,
ed at Washington and which was
also attended by Orville Wright.
