Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF THE CASHIER of a Broadway restaurant skipped one night with the cash box under his arm. The owner was asked by the police to describe the fugitive. "I'd estimate," was the answer, "that he was about six feet and $3000 short." tall Harvey Rice, president of the excellent Macalester College in. St Paul, played host to a group of young newspaper reporters from new republics in Africa and Asia this past semester, and sought three station wagons to enable them to see the country. He appeal ed for help by letter to the heads of four great motor companies. The one who answered first was George Romney, then head of American Motors, now Governor of Michi gan. Romney's wire was short and to the point. It read simply: "What color?" A limerick from Mayor poet David Ross: "A Briton who shot at his king Was doomed on the gallows to swing. When the rope was made fast He cried out, 'At last I'm getting the hang of the thifig'.' " C 1963. toy Bennett Cerf. DUtrlbuted by King Features Syndic! Brazilians Asked To Eat Cornbread Orientals Viewed As Primitive In Israel's Society By ELIAV SIMON United Press International Jerusalem, Israel - (DPU -Israel, whose Jewish popula tion has confronted discrimin ation for centuries, is now faced with the problem among its own people. Racial tensions and charges of discrimination have re sulted from the immigration into Israel of thousands of dark-skinned oriental Jews from parts of Asia and Africa. One social scientist recent ly described Israel as becom ing a nation "divided into Europeans who 'run the show' and Orientals who are guided, spoon-fed and shep herded by European mana gers." The European Jews who helped found the nation and hold most of its key political and business positions now are a minority - about 40 per cent of Israel's population. In recent years, the Euro pean Jews and the small num bers of Arabs have been join ed by an influx of Jews from the Moslem nations of the Middle East and Northern Africa. Most of these immigrants are backward by western standards - their way of life in many cases was that of the small primitive Middle East ern village. Few Skills Used Handicapped by little mod ern education and few techni cal skills, they have in Israel become "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Friction between European and Oriental Jews often re sults simply because of the difference in backgrounds. For example, a Polish immi grant and his Moroccan neigh bor recently were brought be fore a judge for fighting. It developed that their wives had quarreled over who was to sweep the staircase of their apartment house. The Moroc cans had never lived in an apartment house before and could not understand why they should have to keep their staircase clean. Israel's political leaders see increased education as a key to the solution of the nation's "racial problem." Education Minister Abba Ebau recently spoke of a "grave national crisis" developing if the cul tural gap between the two Israels is not closed. Second io Arms The problem is being given priority second only to the na tion's concern over its mili itary security against its Arab neighbors. Steps include an extra year of kindergarten and tutoring in schools with a large per centage of Oriental children. Youth clubs have been launched to provide a place where students can do their homework under supervision. Many the Oriental parents are illiterate and unable to help their children with their studies. "If there is discrimination in Israeli schools today," said a school principal from the Ncgev area, "it is against the Europeans. Standards of high school qualification examin ations are deliberately lower ed for Oriental children to en courage them to continue their studies. The assumption is that European parents don't need to be encouraged to send their children to high school." However, this year only 10 per cent of the nation's high school graduates are Orien tals. The Education Minister predicts it will be a slow, painful process to raise the level of the Oriental community.

CHILDREN UNDER SEVEN NO CHARGE By JOSEPH SIMS Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (UPII Brazilians are being asked to eat bread made of corn instead of wheat as an austerity meas ure in the government's three year financial stabilization plan.

But Brazilians are greeting the change in eating habits warmly. The average Brazilian daily eats one and one half loaves of "pao frances," (similar to "Italian bread" popular in the United States). Brazilians ate bread made of corn during the rationing days of World War II. "Those days aren't remembered fond ly," a housewife said. Before the three-year plan was worked out late last year, Brazil estimated her wheat needs at 3.5 million tons for 1963. The United States was to have supplied 1.5 million tons, Argentina 1 million and the Soviet Union 300,000 tons. Now the Government wants to cut that to 2.6 million tons, with only 2.4 million tons from abroad. The Government hopes to hold wheat imports at about this level through 1965, In spite of normal population in creases. Authorities would like bak ers to take advantage of a high corn production to satis fy the nation's bread needs. Brazil today is the world's third largest corn producer -after the United States and the USSR. Production in 1962 was 9.3 million ions ana is expected to reach nearly 15 million tons in 1963. The three-year plan will hold down wheat imports in directly by eliminating ex change subsidies. Wheat im porters now buy dollars lor wheat purchases at only .tio cruzeiros to the dollar. The official rale is 475 and the black market rate over 800 cruzeiros to the dollar. Furtado said this subsidy cost the government more than 60 billion cruzeiros ($126 million) in 1962. As this artificial exchange rate is removed, the cost of imported wheat will increase. The Government hopes an in creased demand for corn will follow. Even if President Joao Gou lart and his economic staff are able to change the eating habits of 70 million Brazil ians, a sizeable corn surplus for 1963 is expected. Bakers now mix small quan tities of corn with wheat. But few people are anxious to re turn to the days of World War II - even if it does mean sav ing $150 million annually for other imports. The Government says: "Wheat Imports represent a serious and growing problem for the country's balance of payments. We suggest immedi ate steps - such as mixing corn with other flours - to decrease the consumption of this cereal." j A Rio magazine recently ! ran an article pointing out the "advantages" of replacing i wheat with corn. "Corn originated In the ' Americas and sustained, al most as the only foodstuff, all of the civilizations before the , discovery of the new world including the Aztec which reached a degree of maturity i today envied by many peo- ! pies ... of the cereals now 1 being cultivated corn is the most nutritive and versatile." But a campaign last year to interest Brazilians in eating whale meat instead of beef failed, and this campaign could fail, too. fetS 3 h B Fz I 1 CARAT I 14CARAT M l2 CARAT CLORIflBD son 1 f 8-OIAMOND S I S-DIAMOND 1 g 8-DIAMOND B no.nil 1 DIAMOND - g BRIDAL PAIR g B,RIDAL PAIR g BRIDAL PAIR I j BRIDAL PAIR j BRIDAL PAIR 2 YEARS Sonoo B 2 YEARS '12500 1 H? tA s 250 I I 2 YEARS 1 00 1 C7EOO jroPAYou" fro pay fro pay u to pay to pay 00 ABSOLUTELY IHH SD g I '" SfM"A8ftn 11 1 1 1 DIAMONDS 1 I 10.00 PER MONTH ff sS 1 1 R I MONtT I lllift This Euron&an Genuine I I .:s U China and Crystal Stemware I wait Km. n:mMN4 d...au I . &&7tmm I mm nuj uiaiiiuiiu ruiuiarc i , Imr-m or jw.or more! mfimM VUII 1 III IOO I Hid I QiliiivUO VIICi; W I Bo 21 New Settings with 6 DIAMONDS BOTH fOCOO RINGS 5.00 PER MONTH NO MONEY DOWN Up To 2 Years To Pay I You Don't Havo To To Open An Account X T.rC!
