After working with 31 brands of gin - 21 American and 10 British - the famous testing service admitted its chemists ' and taste experts werej hopelessly confused. There just isn't any real difference in gins, said CU's magazine, Consumer Reports Madison Avenue and London advertising men n o t w i t ,h standing. . Ice Sean Decisive Factor in fact, said CU, the really decisive factor in what makes a good martini may be not the gin, the vermouth or the olive - but the amount of ice. Consumer Reports did say four of its five tnste experts rather liked a fruity British gin, but, said CU, "It undoubt edly was not a coincidence that when the. tasters were asked In advance to list the brands of gin they preferred to serve in their own homes, four of the five topped their abort lists with this brand." Adds to Shuddari CU attached - considerable significance to the fact that this was the only brand any of the tasters were able to recognize at all. But the maga zine said this had no neces sary relation to quality. It explained that "CU al ways approaches with circum spection its tests in complete ly subjective areas . . , CU has no desire to assume the role of arbiter of taste." To add to the shudders with which distillers and copy writers likely will greet their efforts, CU concluded that gin as gin may be on the way out - turning Itself into vodka. CU's chemists said flatly that the new popular Russian bev erage is nothing but gin with out juniper juice , or other Belfon Warns on Give Away Promises Portland -flJPII- State Treas urer Howard C. Belton told Young Republicans at Lewis and Clark college today that candidates who "promise their way into office with Irrespon sible give-aways can: place a tax burden on the citizens which: will eventually suffo cate business, discourage new industries and ossify the free enterprise system.'.' Although'he mentioned no names, Belton has previously criticized his Democratic op ponent for treasurer, State Sen. Ward Cook of Portland, of lining up with the "big spenders" in the legislature. Belton told the students that young voters should start now to form the habit of tak ing "long, analytical looks at government spending pro grams because they will spend a lifetime of paying the bill." SPOTTED FAWNS ' The young of nearly deer are spotted at birth. all flavoring. And gin Is getting drier and drier each' year almost turning into vodka. The piece had some inter esting things to say about the history of gin. "Old Geneva gin," for example, doesn refer to the city in Switzer land - the name Is a devious corruption of "genievre," an archaic French name for the juniper or cedar berry. Deliberately Invented Modern gins contain very tiny amounts of cedar berry juice, though. They may also contain slight traces of anise, licorice, fennel, almond, cara way or cardamon. Sloe gin is not a gin at all but a cordial flavored with sloe., the fruit of the blackthorn tree. The distillers make a great fuss about .the differences be tween the American method of distilling gin and the "Lon don dry" method,; but CU'i chemists couldri t see any inv portance difference. Gin has one big distinction It is the only liquor that was deliberately invented, not dis covered partly by accident, Palatable Form of Oil Its creator was Dr. Sylvius, a 17lh century professor of medicine at the University of Leyden. He produced it as a palatable form of juniper oil already widely used as diuretic. "He succeeded," said CU archly. "Within a few years all Holland found Itself suf fering from ills that could be cured only by Dr. Sylvius medicine.

They said that all basic evi dence points to a rough time for Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev' when he meets in Moscow next month with Chi na's Mao Tse-tung and other international Communist lead ers. i These U.S. officials said they were aware of specula tion in East Europe that Khru shchev's leadership of the So viet Union might not survive an all-out clash with Mao at the Moscow meeting. But they had no way of knowing such speculation was valid. ' Albania Needles Nikita American officials confirm ed reports from East European Communist sources that Alba nia, only member of the So-H viet European bloc to side with Red China, was intensi fying its a n t i - Khrushchev propaganda in diplomatic cir cles in other 'satellite coun tries. . They discounted the effect of Albanian propaganda and said that while the small coun try was not itself very impor tant, Its attitude was interest ing because it appeared to have the full backing of Red China. , U.S. officials said they were unable to assess the validity of Albanian claims, made to Communist diplomats in Bu charest, Belgrade and Prague, that Khrushchev s position at home had deteriorated to the extent that he soon might lose power. American authorities oft Russia said they Had no evi dence to support this view. On the other hand, they cau tioned that in the past they had never detected advance indications of various Krem lin power shifts. Feud Over Africa U.S. officials said that in ad dition to the ideological split between Russia and China, there Is increasing evidence of friction between the two coun tries over the privilege of spreading Red influence and technicians in Latin America and Africa. The Ideological dispute stems from Mao's insistence that war with the capitalistic West in "inevitable." The Chi nese reject Khrushchev's con tention that Communism can eventually win the world by economic and political means and without war. Peking charges Khrushchev with having "deviated" from basic Communist doctrines in his efforts to negotiate with the West. Russia Far Behind U.S. in Science, Expert Declares Washington (Science Serv ice) - Soviet science is far behind that of the United States, despite Russian achievements in space. This is the opinion of the Princeton professor of chem istry, Dr. John Turkevich, who was recently science at tache at the American em bassy in Moscow. In an oral report to the National . Science Foundation he said that both Russian pol iticians and scientists recog nize U. S. scientific superior ity. The United States has "the most powerful and ag gressive group of scientists and science programs, and the best-equipped laboratories in the world." Notably Unimpressed Despite their Sputniks, Dr. Turkevich was notably unim pressed with Soviet science generally and charged that neither their equipment in science nor talent matched ours. "For every good man they have, we have ten," the Princeton chemist said. Even Soviet Premier Khru shchev acknowledged this su periority, he said. Last year, in a conversation with the Soviet leader on U. S. ability in space, Dr. Turkevich as serted that eventually the U.S. would beat the Soviets in their launch ability. Khru shchev responded: "America is powerful and strong. If Americans put their mind to beating us, they can do it." Officially, however, the Communists insist that Sput nik has proved that science can advance faster under a communist system. Dr. Turke vich said his experiences in Russia convinced him that the Soviet people had more faith in science and technolo by as a way of life than Marx ism. A tremendous concentra tion upward on outer space, rather than communism, bet ter explains Soviet advances in this area, Dr. Turkevich said. . System Inefficient Actually, their system as applied to science and tech nology "is so inefficient that they cannot put anything on the road" despite their im pressive launches, he said. Moose Suffers Brain Concussion Fort Nelson, B.C. Moun ties reported what they claimed was the first known case of a moose suffering a brain concussion. Veterinarians supported the police report of the moose which was seen stumbling' aimlessly on the muddy bank of a stream, , A veterinary,' who diag nosed the ailment, said no cure was' possible. Police shot the moose. , . There is not nearly as much basic research being done in R u s s 1 a as in the United States," the science diplomat said. "They have had notable failures about which they are quiet." Prominent among these is "their 30,000-ton white ele phant," the 10 BEV (billion electronic volt) atomic accel erator, virtually ineffective because of faulty construction that may be attributed to un due haste in an attempt to outdo the U. S. in accelerator development. - "Sometimes, especially in science, it pays to go slowly," said Dr.- Turkevich, pointing to the success of the acceler ators at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Stanford accelerator, both in full and successful operation. , ' Compared to Clock He credited the national concentration In the Soviet Union on science to the large number of engineersand sci entists prominent In their gov ernment. Soviet and American space achievements have been com pared to an alarm clock and a small Swiss watch. Dr. Tur kevjeh said the comparison is ipt, except that" it should be added that "It was the So viet alarm clock that woke America up to make the Swiss watch." He decried the tendency of Americans to sell their sci ence achievements short. But he also warned against com placency. The present weak ness in Soviet science only "gives us breathing space."

Technetium Melting Point Determined London-(Science Scrvice)- One more constant of nature has been determined. The melting point of technetium, element 43, the first element made in the laboratory by man, has been found for the first time. It is within 50 de grees of 2,2do degrees centi grade (about 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit). The determination was made on a fraction of an ounce of the element loaned to British scientists at the University of Oxford by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission labora tory at Oak Ridge, Tenn. It was made by Drs. E. Ander son, R. A. Buckley, A. Hella- well and W. Hume-Rothery, who reported results here in the scientific journal Nature. Technetium does not occur naturally on earth. It has been found In stars, including the sun, and is produced artifici ally as a radioactive substance by atomic bombardment of molybdenum or as a fission product in nuclear reactors. long Brings Buffalo.
