Borman, who always re-
quested the same boiled fish.
Employees came from a
variety of backgrounds, too.
Morris was willing to give
everybody a chance, though
he admits he was a tough
boss.
"If a chef didn't look
straight at me, I told him to
get out," Morris says. "I was
very strict. No monkey busi-
ness."
During the Depression, the
Samuels brothers hired a
cook, " a short guy with a big
belly" who loved poetry.
Formerly a chef at the
Detroit Yacht Club, the new
cook was paid $25 a week.
The Samuels brothers also
hired a man named Tommy,
who said up front that he
was an ex-convict. But
Morris was willing to give
anyone a chance, and his bet
paid off. Tommy was an
outstanding employee, he
says.
Then one day after a long
absence Tommy came to
work in tears, saying he'd
just returned from St. Louis
where his poor father had
had his leg amputated.
"Not long after, the FBI
came by and started asking
me all kinds of questions,"
Morris recalls. "A train had
been robbed, $60,000, and
some of the robbers had been
spending the $100 bills. It
seems Tommy had some-
thing to do with it."
Tommy was eventually
convicted for his part in the
robbery. But Morris bears no
grudges. "If that guy came
back I would still give him a
job," he says. "That's how
good he was."
Eventually, Alex left the
restaurant business and
Morris brought in his son,
Ira. They lived through hard
times and stick-ups, and
finally closed the doors of
Samuels Brothers in
February 1978.
Like the restaurant, most
of the Samuels brothers' rec-
ipes are part of the past.
They never wrote anything
down, so the only "recipe"
Morris has for his famous
rice pudding is "14 eggs and
a lot of rice."
He says his wife does most
of the cooking at the,
Samuels home these days,
and Morris doesn't like to
eat out.
"Today, every restaurant
you go into it's the same
thing," he says. "It's chicken
this and chicken that. I don't
believe in that. You're
supposed to have your own
style." ❑

Paris (JTA) — The French
Teachers Union is up in
arms over a high school his-
tory examination given in
Toulouse which, they say,
extols the economic progress
made by Nazi Germany
before World War II.
"The subjects (of the ques-
tions) led the pupils to praise
Hitler's regime," the union
contended in letters of pro-
test to President Francois
Mitterrand and the Edu-
cation Ministry.
But Pierre Cadars of the
ministry's Toulouse branch
in southwest France said the
union had gone too far.
"The pupils had occasion
during the academic year to
study Nazism, and they
learned perfectly well that
behind the appearance of
economic success, there
lurked a monstrosity," Mr.
Cadars said.
He added that, after all,
the questions had not been
written by French Holocaust
rejectionist Robert
Faurisson.
But the teachers were not
satisfied. They said it is im-
possible that the commission
controlling the curriculum
and the persons in charge of
choosing examination sub-
jects were unaware of the
kind of answers the ques-
tions elicited.
"We assume it was not a
mistake, especially as those
who wrote the questions
belong to the local branch of
the Ministry of Education,
which the extreme right
wing is known to influence,"
they wrote.
Five exam questions
related to the economy of the
Third Reich included parts
of a speech by Hitler to the
Reichstag in 1939 and charts
showing the improvement of
Germany's economy since
the Nazis took over in 1933.
The students were re-
quired to base their answers
on that material which, ac-
cording to the teachers
union, conveyed the message
that Hitler set Germany on
the road to recovery from the
depression and that fascism
can resolve economic prob-
lems.
