It takes months of intensive searching to come across a pillow in Moscow, said the newspaper Pravda. “When a buyer finally is in line to receive some benefit of the output of the single Moscow pillow factory, he finds the products

The paper said the situation always was bad enough, but it is even worse now with a new government regulation requiring prospective pillow purchasers to show a properly stamped passi port before they can take their ■ head - rest home to rest their I weary heads. “Today you have to produce a passport. Tomorrow they’ll demand a certificate from your place of work, then maybe your ■ birth certificate, then, finally, they may demand your record i from the trade union committee.” “Why is there no increased pillow production?" wailed Pravda. The newspaper pointed out that
