SOVIET GOVERNMENT
SOLVES VODKA CURSE
Illicit Booze is Becoming
Mighty Scarce in
Moscow
By JOHN GRAUDENZ
(United Press Staff Correspondent).
Moscow, (By Mail)—Soviet Russia has at least solved the question of prohibition. Only those who know what the vodka meant to the Russian population can imagine what the apparent complete prohibition means.
While formerly, especially on Sundays and holiday afternoons, all Moscow was virtually tattering on its feet as a result of unlimited consumption of vodka or similar beverages, there was not a single individual who owned any of these or other cities who looked as if he had taken a drink for a year. They say that some wealth—there are still such individuals in Russia—merchants occasionally have a quiet sip in the depth of their cellars. Some people declare themselves to be sort of vodka of their own for special occasions. This may be ture, but it is the exception.
SCHEME TO KEEP MEMBERS
The day of my departure from Moscow to civilized Europe I got a shock, when I saw a man otterting across the Smolensky market, plainly drunk. I was relieved greatly when I heard him swear in Polish and found out he had a good friend at the Polish delegation
Recently the Soviet government has permitted the sale of beverages containing 14 per cent alcohol, especially wine. This is a concession to foreigners, who, Russia assumes, are unable to go without.

It was also stated by Professor Kurtz that the orchestra will start roehrains at 730 o'clock instead of 6:45 p.m. to move progress might be gained.
