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.
Try this over doughnuts, then

Soviet territory in the spring of

GAMBLING IN CZARIST BONDS
One of Wall Street's wildest speculations has come to life again
since the U.S.-U.S.S.R. agreement on the nuclear test ban treaty.
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" . . .

Morse Raps Aid,
Viet Nam Policy
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - seftt
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) 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.)
