' Ceramic Coating Aids War on Smog' Chicago HPi An art al most as old as man is making a special contribution to the war against smog and air pol lution. Scientists in the field of ceramics at the Illinois Insti tute of Technology reported recently they have developed a non-metallic coating for auto piston heads which prom ises a significant reduction In the carbon monoxide and un burned hydrocarbons in ex haust fumes. Samuel W. Bradstreet, su pervisor of inorganic technol ogy at IITs Armour Research Foundation, said the coating also may effect better thermal Insulation, higher combustion efficiency and more economi cal operation for motorists. The coating stemmed from a process patented by ARF called "flame ceramics." The process produces coatings by spraying non-metallic powders through a flame gun. A Chicago firm, the Con tinental Coating Corp., holds an exclusive license to the process.

(International) Venezuela Has Welcome For Hungarian Refugees Caracas (IP) Venezula has taken in 1,500 Hungarian ref ugees in its continuing policy of welcoming "men and wom en who have the skills to help build a rounded economy, Many of the Hungarians will be settled on model farms, of which they will be given ownership. They are counted on to help develop a program which already is making Venezula self-sufficient in agricultural produc tion. The model farms, at 21 com munities such as Turen and Chiraggua, are fostered by the National Agrarian Institute. The government has built homes, barns and silos, and provided the most modern types of . agricultural equip ment. In a related move to boost agricultural production, as well as to improve supply of hydro-electric power, several large dam and irrigation pro jects are also nearing comple tion to provide vitally needed water. The latest such water con servation project is that locat erl at Guarico, being construct ed at a cost of $65,000,00. A nine-mile earthen dam, long est in the world, stores up to 500 billion gallons of water in a 94 square mile lake. Situated amid the vast llan os (plains) once famous for their huge herds of cattle, the Guarico dam will yield water to be siphoned off during the dry summer months through 290 miles of irrigation canals to irrigate 300,000 acres of prime farm land.

Venezula's president, in wel coming the first of the Hun garian refugees, took the op portunity to point out that im migrants from the. Old World are a distinct asset to this New World nation because of the valuable productive skills that they bring with them. Officials have noted that Venezuela, which now has some six million inhabitants, needs 10 million to develop its economy fully. Exports of oil from Vene zuela's rich petroleum fields has provided a major ource of income for the nation. Pres ident Jimenez, however, has initiated a program for a "rounded economy" in which agriculture, industry and trade will provide higher stan dards of living for Venezuela's citizens at the same time mak ing the country more self-sufficient. In line with this program, many American firms have opened factories in Venezuela employing native workers and technicians to produce products which might other wise have to be imported. Ma: chinery and equipment for these plants, however, are purchased from the United States. Emphasis on boosting Vene zuela's agricultural output has brought large-scale govern ment expenditures for expan sion. The sum will exceed $75,000,000 this year. The next immediate project is a dam in the Bocono-Mas- parro watershed, slightly east of the Andes Mountains, which will also provide a 'controlled drink of water" to CE! Flavor Puzzle To Scientists For Long Time Tulsa, Okla. 4 Why do most people like strawber ries? The flavor, of course. But what is flavor? Do strawberries taste the same to everyone? Those were among the many fascinating questions discussed at the recent con vention here of the American Council of Independent Lab oratories. The problem of flavor and how to preserve it is the di rect concern of a young New Yorker, Murray Berdick a Ph.D. working for Evans Re search and Development Corp. The nature of flavor has been a puzzler to scientists for a long time. They know it's a combination of chemical materials the flavor of strawberries is made up of some 40 different chemicals. These chemicals, Berdick said, are translated into fla vor through taste and smell. But people's tastes vary great ly, and it is not known for sure if everybody reacts to taste in the same way. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is now conduct ing experiments with straw berry flavor and the Ameri can Coffee Institute is doing the same thing with coffee. "We don't know how to recreate the flavor of straw berries, using the exact same chemicals that nature does, because, even though we know which chemicals are present, we don't know in what quantities," said Ber dick. Artificial strawberry flavor isn't quite the real thing, thought it may seem so, Ber dick added. The biggest problem is how to preserve the flavor while preserving the food. Some times food can be kept safely for long periods of time, but the flavor won't stay put. "Freezing is the best known means of preserving flavor," Berdick says. "That's second only to the fresh item. Next comes canning, and last of all is dehydrating." A new and as yet relatively unused method of preserving food, radiation, is a big ques tion mark. "Some foods keep their fla vor when preserved by radi ation, others lose their flavor quickly," he said. "Perhaps an area where farm and cat tle production was hampered by periodic droughts. In all, 38,14 European farm immigrants have come to Venezuela under a plan by which those selected after passing tests as to their physi cal fitness and technical abil ity, have all their transporta tion and resettling expenses paid. Many others have come, paying their own way. Most of these people have emigrated from western Eur ope Italy, Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands. The rate at which they are arriv ing in Venezuela increases constantly, jumping from un der 10,000 in 1945 to more than an estimated 50,000 in 1957. Passage of the Hungarian refugees was paid for in part by a fund raised by fellow countrymen who had already immigrated to Venezuela. An average contribution of $25 brought a total of $50,000 into the relief fund, a way will be found to keep the flavor uniform through radiation." HURRY! HURRY!
