FRIDAY, Feeding the Family ZOLITA Food Fresh Fruit Salad A la Australia Australia, which is approxi mately the same size as the United States not including Alaska and Hawaii, was the last continent to be discovered by Europeans. First to land in Australia were the Dutch in 1606. Today this vast continent is a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Although literally situated under the overhang of Asia, Aus tralians are a paradox in his tory. Culturally they are wholly Western although they exist in what is geographically "The East." Their population runs the gamut from the most sophis ticated to the true aborigine. This fresh fruit salad is con sidered typical by representa tives to the United Nations, of what must be mighty good eat ing "down under." Fresh soft fruits in season may be added, but pineapple, bananas, oranges and passion fruit are the essen tials of fruit salad, Australian style. Recipe makes six to eight servings. 1 small fresh pineapple 4 bananas 4 tablespoons lemon juice 4 oranges Vt teaspoon salt 1 apple or pear 2 passion fruit or 6 tablespoons passion fruit juice 4 tablespoons powdered sugar Vi cup whipping cream, sweet ened Cut five or six slices of fresh pineapple about one inch thick. Peel and dice the pineapple into half-inch cubs. Slice (he bananas and cut into small pieces. Sprinkle with lemon juice to minimize discoloration Peel and remove membrane from oranges and cut into small pieces, adding with juice and salt to the prepared pineapple and bananas. Add diced apple or pear. Peel the passion fruit and add the pulp or six table spoons passion fruit juice. Toss fruit lightly and sprinkle with four tablespoons of powdered sugar. Refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour. Serve in sherbet glasses and garnish with sweetened whipped cream. Spinach Specials There's an abundance of fresh crisp spinach in local markets. One pound of good quality bulk spinach will yield two cups of cooked spinach or eight cups of coarsely chopped salad greens. Fresh spinach is Increasingly popular in tossed salads such as spinach and onion rings, spinach in combination with other greens and spinach with chopped or sliced rosy-cheeked unpceied apples. Took Quickly. To keep the bright color of fresh spinach, cook it quickly and serve it promptly. Before cooking, rinse leaves under cold running water (never soak spinach or olher greens) discarding any stems (hat are coarse and tough. For (he best in flavor, gendy cook spinach in a covered pan with just the water which clings lo the leaves. Allow five to eight minutes cooking time; do not overcook. Many Uses. Whether starling wi(h fresh, frozen or canned, buUered spinach adds color and flavor to main courses. Creamed spinach with a (ouch of garlic andor nutmeg is a flavor treat. Spinach souffle and spinach with cheese sauce in casserole are relightful menu additions. Cinnamon, Chocolate Arc Flavor Males Cinnamon and chocolate have long been flavor mates. Try cinnamon in your next choco late cake; one teaspoon of cin namon and one-eighth teaspoon of mace makes chocolate layer cake more delicious than ever. Add one teaspoon of cinnamon lo your favorite brownie mix or your own pel recipe for brownies the next time you bake this family-popular item. For a quick cinnamon-chocolate sauce, use one of the pre pared chocolate syrups: add one-half teaspoon ground cin namon to one-half cup syrup.

RuuianBorder Crossings Reported MOSCOW (UPI) A Soviet newspaper reported today that an undisclosed number of per sons have fled into the Soviet Union (o escape persecution. This was the first public ac knowledgement here that there have been border crossings be tween Sinkiang Province in northwest China and Soviet cen tral Asia since the Chinese al leged that Russia forced "tens o( thousands ' of Chinese into Soviet territory in the spring of 1962. The Chinese charges were made bepl. n. The report in Komsomoloska- ya Pravda appeared to be an iiuureci answer 10 inese cnarges although thus far there has been no formal Soviet government re ply. The Soviet Chinese border area is inhabited largely by nomads of Turkish and Mongol stock, most of whom are Mos lems.

The price of Imperial Russian Government dollar bonds has more than doubled, trading in the bonds has soared, another chapter in the 47-year-old saga has opened and no one knows the end. In February 1918, the Russian Communist Government de clared, "All foreign loans are absolutely repudiated," and thereby wiped out billions of dollars which individuals in other countries had loaned to Russia during the Czarist regime. In June, 1919, the Kcrensky ambassador in ments on both interest and principal on $75 million of Imperial Russian 5'n and 6'j per cent obligations sold to private investors in the U. S. in 1916. In l!i;)5 the Russian securities Slock Exchange and in 1956 lliev Stock Exchange. In the years since, the bonds have been traded only in the over-the-counter markets, have been quoted by only a few Wall Street firms, have changed hands only now and then. The odds against Russia's ever making good on these long repudialeil bonds are conservatively estimated al 50 lo one which would make Ihr longest stint al most hnrse races a more appropriate gamble. Many observers would pul Ihr odds at Son lo one. Still "a wave of speculation began in Russian bonds when (he test ban treaty was agreed upon." says Harry L. Zeeman, Russian bond expert at Carl Marks & Co., one o( the tew tirms which make a market in the bonds. "Wherever there's a spark, there's a speculator." In July, before the test ban bonds totaled a negligible $100,000 a month tlacc value). In August, Zeeman estimates it rose to $50,000 a day or over $1 mil lion a month. That's tiny against an outstanding total of $75 mil lion and activity has quieted in the last couple of weeks but the contrast is marked. Before the pact was initialed, the bonds were quoted 1 to l't or $10 to $12.50 per $1,000 bond. Today, Zee- man quotes them at 2'i to 2s or $25 10 $26.5(1 per tonn iouoie (he earlier price. On what possible basis is buying based? On hope hope that if the cold war really thaws, Russia may offer some settlement on (he dishonored bonds in order to pave the way (or improved financial-trade relations with the U. S. and others in the West. As long as Russia is in default on these bonds, she is barred from selling any new securities here anil the deals she can make with investors in the financial capitals of the West are severely limited. It seems utter nonsense lo eieit Khrushchev to take Ihe defaulted bonds out of "the archives nl history" to which Ihe Communists have asslsnrd them anil In olfer I'. S. holders even partial payments. Hut some wild ones have paid o((. In Ihe lale I950' Yugoslavia resumed partial ilrhl payments on bonds In default 27 years and the price o( tier bonds has tripled ilnre. In 1957, lo (he astonishment o( rums, Holivin resumed payments on bonds In default since 1 9:11, Alter World War II, speculators made fortunes In hoods of limuanv and Japan. These had hem officially declared "worthless'' during Ihe war. but at due date (hey were paid oil in full. The saga of Ihe Czarist bonds defies credulity. They collapsed in price after the Russian revolution; surged upward when the U. S. recognized (he Soviet I'nion in Ihe early 1930s; slumped on the Stalin-Hitler pact in Ihe late 1930 s, jumped back when World War II ended in the mid-iwos; plunged when the cold war began shortly thereafter; rebounded on Stalin's death: crashed after the Geneva summit meeting in the mid-lvso's, shot up during the Eisenhower-Khrushchev meetings in the lale 1950s, (ell again after lhal and now Ihe gambling Is on once more. "If Ihe speculator is nimble, he might make a dollar that is. if he gets out at the right lime," says Zeeman "Rut Ihe great majority will lose unless Ihe unexpected happens and the Rus sians decide to service (pay up on) some of the debt." Personally I preler the race (rack I ran lose faster and with more action but I admit there's thai catch word "unless" . . . t President Kennedys Tour of Conservation ond Nature!

Thurs day criticized the Kennedy Ad ministration on both foreign aiJ and its Viet Nam policy aD(j had a few words to say about the Republican presidential ticket in 1964. Morse, in a news conference, said he thought Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield would be his choice for vice president, "if I were a Republican." He said at Anaheim Wednes day night he intended to seek an end to the current foreign aid program and replace it with a plan founded more on economics than military aid. He told newsmen Thursday, "You cannot justify the grant program we are engaged in many parts of the world. We ara wasting money by the millions. We're pouring millions into NATO when we have more bovs on the NATO front line than France, Britain and Canada combined." Morse said he did not think: either Sen. Barry Goldwater or New York Gov. Nelson Rocke feller would be the GOP nomi nee in 1964, but possibly Sen. John Sherman Cooper R-Ky.) was a darkhorse.
