No store is to sell matzoths, wine or other Passover ritual food, it was decreed today by the Central Association of Co-operative Stores, which controls the entire distribution of food in Russia. The order also applies to the Russian Easter. The Association has ordered each store, restaurant and tea house to distribute anti-Passover pamphlets to its customers. Special brigades of students will be sent out by the Association to see that each store obeys the instructions.
