Ice Cream Keeps
Quality l Month

How long will ice cream keep
its fresh quality in the home
freezer? How does freezer tenn
perature affect the keeping quail
ity of ice cream? Does the type
of package affect the quality?
Florence Y. Smith, Kent Coun-
ty Home Demonstration agent
says so many of these questions
came to dairy specialists at the
Minnesota Experiment Station
that they recently hade a special
study to learn the answers. The
distribution of ice cream has
changed considerably in the
past 10 years, says the report.
Previously it was sold mostly
for immediate consumption. To-
day a large percentage is sold in
containers from self-service cab

of flavor may develop.
The Station advises home
freezer owners that ice cream
can be stored satisfactorily for
about one month in the home
freezer if it is firmly frozen and
is protected from melting in
transferring from the store to
the home freezer; and if it is
stored at uniform tempera-
ture of zero or below.
Mrs. Smith said the best stor-
age conditions were found in
the lower level of freezer cab
inets. At the top of the cabinet
temperatures were highest and
! fluctuated most.
Home-Freezing Cranberries
Cranberries are among the cas-
lest and most successful fruits
u
for home-freezing, according to
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, says home demonstration
agent Florence Smith. Some of
the big supplies of these berries
on the markets can be frozen for
making up into cranberry sauce
or Jelly at the homemaker's con-
venience.
The easiest way to freeze
cranberries is simply to put fresh
berries in freezer bags or other
containers without sweetening
then seal and freeze. Choose firm
berries with glossy skins. Re-
move any stems and sort out
soft berries. Wash and drain be-
fore packaging. Berries frozen
without sugar are convenient to
use in any recipe, Mrs. Smith
said.
If berries are to be used foi
cranberry sauce, they may be put
in rigid containers and covered
with cold so percent sirup made
by dissolving Az cups of sugar
in 4 cups of water. Frozen ir

Cuban Prime Minister Fidel
Castro last week ended months Of
uncertainty over his position re-
garding the United States Gov
ernment's huge nickel project in
Nicaro.
Castro made it clear that he
wants to take over the plant in
which the United States has an
investment Of $93 million. His
agents called atthe American EN-
basSy in Havana and expressed
an interest in acquiring the nickel
facility.
This development came like a
bombShell Just at a time when the
General Services Administration
was beginning to hope 1t might be
able to sell Nicaro to a private
firm. The agency called for pur-
chase proposals and received three
by the announced December /
deadline. Though these proposals
were not firm bids, the General
Services aim was to work out
something through negotiations.
Now it appears that General
Services will have the Nicaro prof.
ect on its hands for some time.
Agency officials don't have much
liking for Castro's 20-year bonds.

in the tent-and-log-cabin town Of
Zheltuga ("The Yellow OneO.
Then the rush grew and, as
Cossacks from the Siberian stan
nitZas," who were supposed to
keep law and order and generally
to uphold the authority Of the
Car, became infected with gold
fever and joined the Free Ad-
venturers of Zheltuga," authority
failed. Worse luck, in 1885 the
Siberian Argonauts proclaimed
themselves an independent re-
public, thus drawing upon their
heads the ire of Alexander III,
who dispatched a new force of
CossackS to the area with orders
to put down the rebellion. Sensing
imminent doom, most of the citi-
zens Of the new Asiatic California
Republic scattered away. The 400
diehardS who stayed on were cut
to pieces, and the gold town was
put to the fire. But the rush
continued.
1t practically died down with
the Bolshevik Revolution and
with the seizure of power by
Nikolai Lenin, who believed the
bourgeois infatuation with the
yellow metal was a mental aber-
ration, predicted that some day
gold would solely serve to fill
teeth and took stringent measures
against die-hard capitalists, in
cluding gold-seekers.
But in 1925, after Lenin's death,
the rush resumed with, new vigor.

Inquiry to Open

Tomorrow, the FEC begins what
may be a many-month inquiry
into shady practices in broad
casting, like the rigging of TV
quiz shows, payola and other COM
mercial bribes, and will seek to
determine exactly what it is en-
powered to do about it.
Meanwhile, as the House Sub
committee on Legislative Over
sight and Frank S. Hogan, New
York District Attorney, pushed
other investigations of payola, the
networks continued their own ef-
forts to put their houses in order.
The Columbia Broadcasting
System, the sternest Self-critic
among the networks, announced
that it will put a stop to the prac-
tice OF identifying the donors of
prizes on various radio and TV
programs. The tactic of charging
manufacturers for the privilege of
having their products used as
prizes has been lucrative one.
The National BroadcaSting Co.
annonced a more gingerly step
in the same direction. From now
on, a spokesman said, the network
would assume full control of ar
rangementS for acquiring prizes
and would either purchase them
or accept them from the manu-
facturer in return for identifica-
tion on particular program.
Heretofore, many producers re-
portedly have solicited cash from
manufacturers in return for using
the products on the show.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
President Eisenhower's historic
trip to II foreign counties comes
at a time when Americas rela-
tionship with the rest of the world
is undergoing a profound reap
praisal.
A system Of world-girdling alli-
ances has been the basis of the
United States defense strategy
since the 1940s. These alliances
have become so much a part of
American thinking and practice
that most people take them for
granted; no other basis for free
world security is even considered.
The intense national soul-search-
ing which preceded the decision
to send troops to Europe, whence
they had so gladly returned after
World War II, has been all but
forgotten.
Yet in the era Of the intercon-
tinental ballistics missile, there
will be strong temptation, and a
certain amount of logical justlfi-
cation, for a kind of Fortress
America" strategy.
There can be endless argument
about the missile versus the air.

plotted Siberian gold In Czarist
days were invited back, and sew
eral British, American, Japanese
and German firms responded. The
largest Of those, the British-con-
trolled Lena Goldflelds Co., Ltd,
received @ long-term concession
over some 21,000 square miles of
mineralized territory, including
over 1000 square miles in the
Lena-Vitim area. Immense gold
alluvions had been located there
by Britishers before 1917.
Economic Espionage
The company hauled in heavy
gold dredging machinery and
spent the equivalent Of $3.50 mil
lion on equipment and installa-
tions. But in the spring of 1880,
as the mining concern was about
to distribute its first dividend, the
Soviet police descended on the
premises and charged the man
agement and employees with ECO
nomic espionage"
The sinistered Britons, who re-
turned home after stretches Of
varying length in Soviet jails. and
their American and other COL
leagues who suffered a similar
fate, never learned on whom they
were supposed to have spied-on
bears, on wolves or on each other.
But the industry they had re-
started in the bleak Siberian taiga
grew and proSpered.
In the mid-30s Joseph Stain.
who meanwhile had read several
books about the gold rushes in
California, Colorado and the
Klondike, sent tens Of thousands
Of political prisoners to the frozen
"diggings" on the Lena, the Ko-
lyma, the Yenissei and the OBJ.
The number Of those gold-mining
convictS grew to hundreds of
thousands in the late l940s, and
the German war prisoners who
were repatriated in 1850 and 1851,
after making sojourns in the So
Wet 'Dalstroy," or Parkway
Construction Camps"-as the au-
riferous Siberian project is off,
cially called-spoke of 3 to 5 mil
lion convict miners in the area.
Thus the czariSt-era songs about
shackles moaning dreadfully IN
the Arctic fog have become trag-
ically true a million fold. But the
oft-predicted massive gold exports
from Russia have, so far, failed
to materialize. Meanwhile the So
Wet black-out on gold has re-
mained as Opaque as ever.
Eleven years ago-in February
1948-the United States National
Advisory Council, made up of
President Truman's cabinet mem
bers. the head of Export-Import
Bank, and the Chairman of the
Federal Reserve Bank, estimated
the Kremlin's store of gold at 81
500, 100000, but computations by
ether experts, were as high as
$40 billion. And today the off,
cials Of the World Bank and Of
the International Monetary Fund
will not even make a guess on 1t.
We have no way Of judging it,"
they say.

merchant. The latter, q heavy
and emotional Russian by the
name Of Seredkine, jumped at
the sight.
The naive trapper made no

to lead the trader and q detach-

grave. There. all they had to do
was to scratch the sand and pick

lions of the world, they ought now
to have been laid to rest.
President Eisenhower, speaking
with considerable force, told q
news conference on Wednesday:
Il cannot imagine anything
more emphatically a subject that
is not a proper political or gov
ernmental activity or function Of
responsibility -.
This Government has no, and
will not ). as long as am here,
have a positive political doctrine
in its program that has to do
with this problem of birth con-
troll. That's not our business"
The Presidents statement
placed him alongside the Roman
Catholic Bishops of America, who
recently declared that 80 million
American Catholics would mot
support any public assistance,
either at home or abroad, to sup
port artificial birth prevention"
1t also helped to ease, some
what, the position of Senator
John F. Kennedy, front-running
aspirant for the Democratic NOM
ination in 1860 and a Catholic,
who, when asked to comment on
the bishops statement, did not
go as far as Mr.. Eisenhower.
The Senator said that If he
were President and the question Of
whether to make birth control
information available to another
country was placed before him, he
would decide on the basis Of what
is in the best interest of the United
States.
The Eisenhower entry into the
debate brought quick rejoinders
from Protestant leaders who be-
lieve that the United States must
promote artificial birth control
abroad In order to hold down sky
rocketing population growth.

sell than an idle one. In the words
OF one official: "Once we shut of
the supply Of nickel to Nicaro
customers, we have cancelled the
prospects Of disposing Of the
plant"
At this point the United States
Government has not decided
whether to continue the operation
OF Nicaro. The United States can
get along without the nickel it
produces.
Without question, however, it is
TO the advantage of Cuba to have
the Nicaro plant in operation. In
q land where unemployment is
rampant, it provides jobs for $500
Cubans. In addition to the plant
the Nicaro project comprises a
townsite of 1000 people including
a 54-bed hospital and company
houses which rent for 81 a month.
CThe latter used to rent for 50 a
month until Castro cut all rents
in Cuba by so per cent? The plant
and the townsite are to be sold
as a unit.
The old Reconstruction Finance
Corp. built the Nicaro project in
1912 at the beginning of World
War II. Though Cuban ores were
deemed inferior to those of Can
ada. it was considered desirable
to develop a source of supply out
side of Canada.
Period Of Operation
The plant began operation in
December, 1943. and continued un-
til March, 1947, when it was shut
down because nickel no longer
was in critically short supply.

dire financial straits that he
doesn't have much else to offer.
Chonce Of Expropriotion
Castro isn't likely to expropri-
ate Nicaro so long as it belongs to
the United States Government. He
already has demonstrated, how
ever, that he is not reluctant to
take such action against private
firms.
No American company is likely
to buy Nicaro without a contract
guarantee from the United States
against Cuban naturalization of
the property. General Services
has no authority to give such a
guarantee. Officials have ap-
preached the International Co.
operation Administration on the
possibility Of having that agency
underwrite a guarantee and have
been turned down.
Development Loan Corporation
SpoKeSmen say they would turn
down such a request, too. They
cite three grounds for their posi-
ton:
/. Cuba is not an underdevel-
oped country.
2. 1t is not a good risk.
3. Nicaro is not a new invest
ment and merely involves new
financing.
The funds aim is to encourage
new investment. In the words Of
one development loan official:
I'VE are not in the position of
bailing out other government
agencies"
Castro has been frustrating
United States efforts to sell Nicaro
ever since he started his revolu-

Nicaro. 1t received some offers
but rejected them as too low. The
agency never has said for publica-
ton the amounts of these bids.
Following the outbreak of the
Korean War the United States re-
activated Nicaro at a capital cost
Of approximately $12 million. Ac-
tual operations started December
81, 1852. The Government de-
cided to operate the plant on a
management-fee basis for a linn
tied time to obtain cost and pro-
duction data on which to base a
lease to a private firm. That's
when Nickel Processing Corp.
started operating the plant. It has
26 per cent of its stock owned by
Cuban interests and is a subsidiary
OF National Lead Co. The idea was
that Nickel Processing would op-
crate Nicaro for five years. It has
been operating it ever since. The
current contract with the corpor-
alton expires December 81, 1860,
but is subject to cancellation if the
plant is sold before that date.
1t is possible that today Gen.
eral Services wishes it had ac-
cepted one of those "low" bids for
Nicaro back in 1850.
But If it had, the prospects are
that the purchasers would have
already been ousted from their
property by appropriation, or per-
hapS forced to run a losing opera
tion because of confiscatory taxes.
The Castro regime has by now
made it crystal clear that foreign
owned properties, whether in
dustrial or agricultural, are in
trouble. Only a serious deteriora-
tion of Cuba's already weakened
economy could bring a change in
policy.

people of Armenia kept the gold
dust they washed from the
Caucasian streams. The gold
mines Of the Urals and Of the
Altai Mountains. on the other
hand, had from time immemorial
furnished the yellow metal for
the Cimmerians' and the GOths'
eagle shaped, gem incrusted
brooches, bracelets and rings.
But those old mines, whose
capacity is fairly well known in
the West, currently represent
only a minor source of Russian
gold.
1t is in the main source
Siberia-that the enigma lies. The
great gold deposits, over which
