MAILTRIIUNI, M.dlerd, Or. 1 I Thunday, April 14. 10 Twigs Grow After Gradual Freezing io -423 Degrees Washington - (Science ScrV' ice) - Russian scientists have succeeded in freezing birch and black currant twigs to minus 423 degrees Fehrenheit and making them grow after wards. Dr. I. I. Tumanov, a botaiv 1st and member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, report ed in the current Doklady - Botanical Sciences Section that twigs of the two common plants had been frost-harden' ed at temperatures only 36.7 degrees above absolute zero. Dr. Tumanov and his col' leagues placed freshly cut twigs wrapped In cellophane Into a cold box at 23 degrees Fahrenheit, then gradually reduced the temperature to minus 76 degrees. After this hardening pro cess the twigs were immersed in liquid nitrogen, then in liquid hydrogen for two hours and then again in liquid nitro gen. The temperature of liquid hydrogen is 423 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. At absolute zero, minus 459. 7 de grees Fahrenheit, all life is believed to cease. Grew New Roots When the twigs were later observed, they appeared normal and grew buds and new roots. Other twigs of similar stock, which had not been gradually hardened, died at minus 40 degrees. The black currant stock can gen erally survive natural temp eratures down to about minus 22 degrees, Dr. Tumanov re ported. Washington scientists said that the application of this hardening method to cold of southern fruit trees, such as peach and the various citrus, so the crops will not be threat ened, cannot be predicted without further information available from experimentation. 4,000 Restaurants Prove it Every Day 0 FINDINGS CLEAR PICTURE - Caltech Astronomer Guido Munch's new findings give a clearer picture today of how clouds of gas move oulward from the hub toward the arms of the vast pinwhecls of stars called spiral galaxies. The Milky Way, in which our solar system resides, is such a pin wheel - measuring some 80,000 light years across. A light year is nearly six trillion miles. The swift movement of gas clouds outward from the galaxy's nucleus, 'is indicated by black arrows. Indications are that the gas moves out along the galaxy's lines of magnetic force and converges along these lines back into the nucleus again, as Indicated by the white arrows. The photo was taken with the Schmidt 48 inch telescope camera at Mt. Palomar, near Pasadena, Calif. (UP1) Telepholo) New Method Found For Coating Copper r i . .--''ii.ij.'i.i...rf Boyd's Flavor Stands Up! Cleveland (Science Service) A chemical method of coat ing copper with plastic - of particular value for sealing transoceanic cables - has been described here. The bonding method forms chemical grippers on poly ethylene plastic that cling to copper, eliminating the need for adhesives, Dr. Arthur T. Spencer of the Bell Telephone laboratories. Murray Hill, N.J., told the American Chemical society meeting. The method, which also may be used in flexible print ed circuits and microwave de vices, makes use of the oxida tion of the polyethylene in contact with an oxide film on the metal in a short-time, high-temperaturt molding op eration. There is no intermed iate adhesive layer. High and reproducible bond strengths are achieved by the process betwen a wide range of ployethylenes and copper alloys bearing at' least 85 per cent copper. Bonds formed by this method failed through tearing in the polyethylene rather than a Jack of adhesion at strength values at least sev eral times those obtained by methods now in commercial use. Coauthor of the paper was Richard G. Baker, 4-H Club News Hayburneri Horse Club The Westside Hayburner's 4-H Horse club held its regu lar monthly meeting at the home of Jan Main April 9.

Scientists Isolate Flavor of Meats Washington - (Science Serv ice) - Two U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists have isolated and freeze-dried sub stances that give beef and pork their flavor and aroma. The substances could add flavor to the unappetizing algae that may be grown In Interplanetary manned space ships as food for astronauts. The research was done by Irwin Homstein and Patrick F. Crowe who work in the Department's Eastern Utiliza tion Research and Develop ment division at Beltsville, Md. They used cold water to ex tract the flavor substances and then freeze-dried the ex tract into a powder. When heated, the powder produced the rich aroma of roast meat. The studies showed the main meaty flavor of meals is in their lean parts. But the crucial flavor elements that give pork and beef their dis tinctiveness are found in the fatty portions.

Solar Cells Don't Need Batteries' New York - (Science Serv ice) - A new kind of solar cell that serves as its own storage battery was reported here to engineers attending a Society of Automotive Engineers aero nautic meeting. If it fulfills its apparent promise, the cell will make obsolete solar cells now pow e r i n g American satellites. These older cells require heavy storage batteries to store the electricity converted by the cells from sunlight. The new cells convert solar energy directly to chemical energy. The solar cells them selves store the chemical en ergy for later conversion to electrical energy. Bert H. Clampitt and.Dale E. German of the Wichita, Kan., division of the Boeing Airplane company built the experimental cells.
