Russia Not Likely To Volunteer Cold War Concessions London - OJPH -' Communist diplomats here hint strongly that Russia, after its Cuba backdown, is not likely to volunteer cold war conces sions. This would dispel west ern hopes for a softer Krem lin policy. Moscow was said to be ex pecting the west to "give" in the next east-west confronta tion since the Soviets made their "offerings of good will" over Cuba. The hints suggested a con tinued toughening of the Soviet line on East-West set tlements in the aftermath of the Cuban crisis. Expectations Dimmed They all but dashed expec tations that Premier Nikita Khrushchev, after the severe setback lo his aggressive Cuban policy, would be anx ious lo practice conciliation in the anticipated new phase of cold war negotiations. An indication of apparent second thoughts In the Krem lin came earlier this week in top level contacts between Russia and Britain, Premier Nikita Khrushchev sent a personal message to Prime Minister Harold Mac mlllan which failed to hold out any prospect of a mod ified Soviet line of major cold wsr issues. Portland firm Bids Low on Soil Probe An apparent low bid of $3,- 901 for subsurface soil explor ation at the site of the pro posed federal building and post office in Medford was re ceived from the Pittsburgh Testing laboratory, Portland. The bid was among three opened this week In the of fice of Architect Robert J., Keeney, Medford. Keeney and the firm of Eilmsen, Endicntt and Unthank, Eugene, are ar chitects for the building. Preliminary plans for the building are being studied by the General Services administration.

Washington of Soviet First the Communist Central com-j -B Vith P.ld mitlce conference in Moscow, reflected no easing of Mos cow's policy, according lo authoritative diplomatic souces. No Major Switch The absence of any notice able policy switch also was confirmed in a lengthy talk between British Foreign Sec retary Lord Home and the Soviet envoy, Aleksander Soidatov. It took place this week after the latler's return from consultations with Khrushchev in Moscow. ncdy appear to have revealed no major Soviet policy switch on fundamental cold war is sues. Finally, Soviets participat ing in nuclear test ban and resumed disarmament nego tiations in Geneva have shown no change to date in their approach to the basic problems. British diplomats are ask ing themselves whether they have misread the signs eman ating from Moscow imme diately after the Soviet mis sile withdrawal from Cuba Macmillan himself has been reported by his aides to be lieve in a possible Russian shift that could open the way to more successful East-West negotiations on a series of in dividual cold war problems including a nuclear test ban, measures against surprise at tack as well as an agreement not to spread nuclear weap ons to other nations. But Khrushchev's latest message to Macmillan has failed to support expectations for easy accords with the Soviet. May Still Be Hop Khrushchev, the sources said, may not have definitely set his new policy line, and therefore there may still be hope for a softer line in the coming year. But, on evidence so far the Russians were expected to re-, main tough bargainers at any new East-West negotiations, although diplomatic sources said they did not anticipate Moscow to set off a new crisis in the immediate future. The Western Big Four foreign ministers Intend to scrutinize Soviet intentions at a meeting in Paris December 12th. The full ministerial NATO council also plans to take a close look at Russian policy at Us conference in Paris Dec. 13-18. Macmillan and Kennedy, who will m e e t in the Bahamas Dec. 19-20, will draw their final conclusions from this analysis and were expected to decide what course to take toward East West negotiations in the new year.

This will be come impor tant should at-moipher-ic testing rf ; atomic bombs continue in definitely. Strontium is lieios smim wnicn o o a y chemistry deposits in bone and tissue just as though it were calcium, potassium and I &4r magnesium for which it has affinity. If strontium is radio active accumulating deposits become a threat to health and even to life. Radioactive strontium hard ly exists in nature. It is "made" in atomic bomb ex plosious and comes down to earth in fallout. There it is taken up by grasses. Cows eat the grasses and radio active strontium appears in their milk. It now is present in milk everywhere but at present in much less than "critical" levels. The 99.7 per cent removal technique was devised by two scientists of the Danish At omic Energy commission. The best previous removal tech nique, which now is in the pilot plant stage, removes about 90 per cent. The Danes believe theirs is simpler as well as more 'horough. Slronium Injected They obtained milk with a precisely meRsurrd radioac tive strontium content by in jecting radio strontium-85 into a red cow. Her milk was then subjected to three suc cessive stirring processes with resins of atomic particles carrying a positive electric charge. Each stirring was for 20 minutes. In the first two the particles had been derived from potassium atoms. After the first the resin was fil tered out of the milk and the second was with a fresh potassium resin. This resin was filtered out, too. and the third stirring was with resin of particles of c; lcium atoms. Dr. A. Aarkrog and H. C. Roscbaum reported to the technical journal "Nature," that the thrice-stirred and thrice-filtered milk tasted so much like milk straight from the cow "a taste panel of 20 persons failed as a whole to distinguish any significant difference.'1 mained of whether their pro cess removes some of the nu tritional value of milk as well as 99.7 per cent of its radio active strontium content. There also Is a question about the chemical composition nf this treated milk. It is '.he same as unflltered milk? The answers to these ques tions are now being sought by the food and nutrition divis ion of the Danish national health service, they said. An initial chemical analysis in dicates the treated milk is de ficient in some of the milk vitamins. If that is the only deficiency, t h e vitamins Other nutritional factors will be tested by "pair-feeding" of rats, that is, one ral of each of a number of pairs will be maintained on treated milk and the other on untreated milk. At the end of a few months, scientists will be able lo measure if the rats have been equally nourished. They said a question re-1 could be replaced, More than 77 per cenl of all workers in the Los An geles metropolitan area use their own cars to go to and from work or take part in a private car pool, according to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.

HOW RUSSIA FINANCES HER BUDGET (Srcnnd in series of two) This coming Monday the Kremlin is slated to submit to the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) an all-time high record budget aimed at stimulating production, easing acute scarci ties and raising the quality of her shoddy consumer goods. The new Russian budget, as reported yesterday, is simply not comparable to our federal budget, for it covers so much more. It is the only budget in Russia, includes not only what would be In our state, city and village budgets but also the Russian eqivalcnt of what we spend on private education and the Russian equivalent of what our industry spends to moderinze and expand factories. The U.S. and Soviet budgets are not comparable and neither Is the way we finance them. For Russia raises the tens of billions of rubles needed tn cover the Soviet government's spending primarily by direct, confiscatory taxes on food, consumer goods, shelter, etc. a type of taxation the U.S. Government has shrunk from even attempting. The taxes boost the prices of manv consumer goods so high that the people couldn't buy them even If they were available (which they are not). She gets only a minor chunk of her revenues irem taxes on income, and the income taxes she does Impose g. much more gradually than ours. In contrast, the over whelming part of the U.S. government's money comes from Income taxes, and our taxes rise at an exceedingly steep rate, reach the punitive level of 31 per cent in the top in dividual income tax bracket. As Dr. Ellsworth Raymond, professor in charge of Russian Area Studies at New York University, wryly remarks, "In Russia, the more you earn, the better off you are. It's quite unlike the tax struc ture here." She gets a fair percentage from a "profits tax" which falls mainly on manufacturers of consumer goods and which also is passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices. Here Is how Raymond calculates the Soviet govern ment financed her budget last year. (1) By far the largest per cent of her revenues - roughly 41 per cent - came from the so-called turnover tax, levied primarily on consumer goods. Ihis tax is insignificant on heavy machinery and other industrial equipment, for these goods are purchased mostly by the government. But the turnover tax on consumer items ranges from 40 to 300 per cent, and the more an item is deemed to be a luxury butter, clothing, perfume - the heavier the tax. (2) The next biggest per cent - 26 per cent - came from the profits tax, imposed on all the planned and unplanned profits of factories. This tax was initiated under Stalin and it has become steadily more important. Since most of heavy industry operates at a very low profit or at a loss, consumer goods produce most of the profits tax and the people pay it in the end via higher prices. Hare's an illustration of the weight of these two laxes on the Russian people. In 1961 Russia estimated the income of its workers at 90 billion rubles. In that year retail trade in state and cooperative stores totaled 80 billion rubles. Of that 80 billion. S3 billion represented the turnover and . profits tax combined. (3) The Income tax produced only 9 per cent of her reve nues. Russia's income tax Is both a direct tax on incomes and a special tax on spinsters, bachelors and families -with less than three children. (Our equivalent of that special tax is our system of exemptions.) (4) The balance - 24 per cent - came from a mixture of. taxes and sources. The Kremlin earns tat profits trom her trade with her satellites, openly defrauds the satellites under her "barter pacts." She taxes the profits of the little artisan cooperatives. She Imposes a tax on collective farms, a tax on land, a tax on amusements, a lax on utilities, a Duncn oi other minor taxes. Each year the Soviet budget soars to a new peak, and since Russia never runs a deficit in her budget; this meani that each year more money must be collected. In Russia, where consumers finance the giant part of tho budget, this has meant increasingly confiscatory taxes. Oppressive as our tax structure is, to the little consumer in the Soviet Union our system would be a taxpayer's heaven, Decorations That Lead Double Lives Packing up the Christmas decorations when the- holi days are over Is usually a trying task. Finding a place to store everything can be a problem, too. Christmas necoraiions mm lead double Uvea provide at least a partial solution to these post. - holiday problems. They'll add a gay, festive note to your decor when the merrymaking is over, they can assume another role in your home. Here are a few suggestions for some double-duty Christ mas decorations from the Maytag Home Service depart ment. With Just a Utile work, a small, round, synthetic fiber rug can be turned into a fluf fy, festive Christmas tree. Simply fold it in half, roll it into a cone shape, fasten with straight pins and stuff with tissue paper to retain its shape. Decorate is with gar lands of beads or tiny Christ mas halls, or even cranber rics or pine cones. Mantle Decoration When finished, It makes a perfect mantle decoration. After Christmas, desmantled, It makes an equally good ad dition to bedroom, bath or playroom. That same rug bIso makes 1 IP H a novel Christmas stocking. Simply turn it upside down, and eliminate the tissue stuff ing. Santa provides the filling in this case. Youngsters will enjoy hanging this cone shaped "stocking" from the mantle, especially If they know It will be a fluffy bed side rug for their own room when Christmas is over. Mom will like these deco rations, too, because they're easy to care for when the hol idays are over. A 10-minut. wash In cold water and reg ular agitation in the automat ic washer will leave the rug clean and fluffy. To dry, tum ble for about 30 minutes on the "Air Fluff" cycle of your dryer. A can-can petticoats is in other item that might lead a double life. Two frilly petti coats can be turned into a dazzling Christmas wreath. Simply attach them to a 14 inch syrofoam circle, using straight pins, and decorate with a big red bow, an angel, little candy canes, or a strand of gold Christmas beads. After Christmas these pet ticoats may be laundered in your automatic washer, say the Maytag experts. Use warm water with gentle agi tation for three minutes. Dry them on the "Wash 'n' Wear" setting of your dryer and, pres to, two fresh-as-new petti coats tor the little girl around your house. These are Just a few ideaa for Christmas decorations with double lives. Your own ingenuity is sure to provide many more. mad naturally. ., to naturally H't better Fufiof Burkan Temple Schedules Meeting In Grants Pass Fuhat Burkan temple, Dra matic Order Knights of Khor aasan, will hold a business meeting In Grants Pass Satur day, Dec, R at which nomina tion of officers will be made for 19B3.
