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.

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

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.

Technique Devised To Take Strontium Deposits From Milk
A J
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York - ll'PIl - Now it is
possible to remove 99.7 per
cent of radioactive strontium
from milk.
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.
