PAGE N1V3 .::J Soviet Science Exhibit Shows Reds Close Behind By JOHN RARROl'R Associated Press Science Writer NEW VOHK 'AP'-This device Is Soviet in idea snd manufacture. You probably can t buy one any where else in the world. Unless you're a scientist rnay not care. you : q ,. . . TL J"'"r!,mve ""that the best Soviet scientific work ,TS- ' r counter is one.is as gnod as a in (hf d o he hidden surprises of the So- nc added But ,he ,:ni,d s p! vte. exhibttion at the New York;ha, more monc, and more in Coliseum Many of the visitors to the So viet science display look at it in puzzlement, concluding that it is either a small rocket, an atom , bomb or a hot water healer. It is labeled mysteriously a 1 spontaneous fission counter." Dr. Lyle Rorst. New York Uni versity nuclear physicist, was ask ed by The Associated Press for an evaluation of the Soviet Scien tific and Technological Exhibit. He singled out the strange-looking invention. It is, he said, one of the few original pieces of So viet research at the science exhi bition. The Soviet exhibitor, a scientist, explained that the device mea sured the rale in which atoms of uranium split all by themselves. The figures he quoted raised Borst's eyebrows. On one of the element, Thorium. u.o. measurements were more than a thousand limes of the So viet measurements. If the figures are correct, U.S. scientists could be relying on information badly In error. Besides their fission counter, the Soviets showed off a difficult to design but highly efficient tele scope and a compact device that can prepare ultra-thin slicings for microscopic slides. These were the most original Of the Soviet exhibits, Rorst said The Soviets also showed in a quiet way a device that converts ; the hot flame o( a kerosene stove into enough electricity to operate a radio. The small device is especially , useful in remote areas where no other power source is available. It uses about a cupful of kerosene i an hour. Borst said that about seven per cent of the kerosene's energy is converted into electricity by the device. ' Using sunlight and atomic i sources of heat, Ihe United Slates also has devices that generate ; electricity. . i They are based, as- the Soviet , devices are, on two metal plates. ';! One metal plate collects electrons. J and one metal plate spits them i out. When the two plates, joined j together, are' heated, they change. The one that liked electrons, and , collected them, suddenly begins to expel then. The other metal plate . begins to collect them. The move ' ment of the electrons generates ; electricity, J For the new visitor, the most im- pressive sight must be the gigan- tic final stage rocket that pro- ; if pelled Mechta into orbit around the ; sun. Its about as big as a small car, and is of course only a small part of the total rocket. '1 You get' the idea that the So j viets are saying: "This is only :i the tail. You should see the size , of the dog." f Most of the exhibits Borst had teen at the Brussels Worlds Fair. ; The Soviet nuclear energy ex j hibit was the hardest to evaluate.

Borst esti mated, before the Soviet Union equals the United States in quan tity of science. But with elfort the United States will keep its leader ship in scientific quality. 'As far as we saw, fin per cent of the Soviet approaches were treading a path that U.S. science has already followed," he said. Home Fled By Cuba GIs MIAMI, Fla. i API Four Cuban servicemen fled here Monday by hijacking a Fidel Castro air force plane with 17 persons aboard. They predicted more Cubans will follow them into exile because of rising Communist influence at home. The Cuban air force mechanics used pistols to persuade a pilot to land them in Miami. They said their plane had been bound for Caniaguey with reinforcements and ammunition. The quartet .was paroled for a hearing on their petitions for polit ical asylum. The pilot was allowed to fly the plane and its other 11 occupants back to Havana. Candido Baldrich Gonzalez, 39 Ezcquiel Paula Viamontes, 30. Sil via Aquila Enlenza, 31, and Hom ero Garcia Perera, 30, said they decided to hijack the two-engined C47 "rather than see our own people killed by the bullets and. rockets we were carrying.' The defectors said that anti- Castro elements were building up in the central Cuba hills' around Camaguey and that eight rockets and 42 boxes of 20-millimoler shells on the plane were destined for use against these groups.

Every two hours they would have to go out and toss feed lo the fish. But Evans' machine has changed all that. Since February he has experi mented with clocks, screens and fans. Recently, he combined Ihe elements into a successful appara tus. Now every two hours at the hatchery, a clock activates a big fan that whirls a predetermined amount of pellets out over the fish ponds. Two of the machines wcrp built at a hatchery shop. Evans' prize was one' of the highest ever awarded by the board. It was the first of such size ever received in Klamath County, game commission men be lieve. He lives in Chiloquin.
