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?"

Was doomed on the gallows to swing.

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.

Furtado says this would per
mit Brazil to divert annually
more than $150 million from
imports of wheat to imports
of heavy equipment for the
nation's industries.
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.
