No Real Taste Difference in
Gins, Taste Experts Declare
New York -IUPD- Consumers
Union admits it has at last
found a product it can't rate-
gin. .-.
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."

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.

Stewart Hensley from a Communist
oinciai in eastern urope who has
returned to bis country after at
tending tne united Nations Assem
bly, By STEWART HENSLEY
Washington -(UPD- High Am
erican officials said today they
are convinced the ideological
split between the Soviet Union
and Red China is as great as
ever despite superficial indi
cations that tension may have
eased a bit.
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.
