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.

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

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."
