2C KOCilESTCR DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE Wednesday, March 1, 1978 SOVIETS STILL DON'T TRUST US The Intourist Hotel off Ked Square in Moscow is a modern. highrise built in with comfortable furniture, tiled showers and no shower curtains. It was impossible to take a shower without getting water all over the floor. When I broached the question. I was told.

"No problem water gets on the floor, the maid will come in and mop it up." But no shower curtain ever appeared on the rod. Most Russian hotels have a "floor From Tagc IC For example, the Russian tradition is to eat a big breakfast of sausage, cheese, fruit and bread and then have a cup of coffee. Most Americans want their coffee first. If there is a way to get it first in the Soviet Union. 1 didn't discover it.

Every morning I politely asked for coffee first. Every morning the waiter politely said it would be coming up "in a minute." Every morning it came after the meal. lady" who sits at a desk in the center of every floor opposite the elevator and stairwell. She is a combination of concierge, head chambermaid and assistant hotel manager. She holds your key while you arc out of the hotel If you want ice, she gives you cubes from a little refrigerator.

You talk to her about the water on the bathroom floor. Americans who try to deal with the clerk' at the lobby desk will he politely but firmlv directed to their "floor ladv when he'd left the scheduled tour. (He had spent the time chatting with a Russian engineer in a cafe. But the fact that the police knew all about the conversation was disconcerting.) At the airport, you exchange all your remaining paper rubles for dollars or another western currency. Y'ou are allowed to take out a few Russian coins as souvenirs.

Your bags go through customs with you there to explain their contents if necessary, although many go through without examination. Your Passport is returned, you get a boarding pass and step through an electrically operated door into a small booth. You face a soldier who carefully checks your passport and may even hold it up near your face to compare the photograph. Only when he is satisfied does he trigger the door on the other side which allows you to walk toward the plane. At the steps to the plane there is one more check, this time by a border policeman.

By now, you hardly notice the submachinegun. The Ilyushin jet back to Copenhagen is not unlike a small Boeing 707 except that it has all four engines in the tail. No alcohol is sold or served on Aeroflot, but you are allowed to carry on all you want. After a week or more in the U.S.S.R. straight cold vodka seems normal.

You leaf through the pages of your passport and discover there are no Russian markings or stamps of any kind in it. only the staple which once held your visa. There is no proof in your passport that you have ever set foot in the U.S.S.R. But it's unlikely the memories of this vacation will quickly fade.

First you line uo to select the item you want. Then you line up to pay for it and get a receipt. And then you line up to exchange the receipt for the item. This must be done for each individual item.

Operators who try to beat the system never win. Russian bartenders are agonizingly slow by U.S. standards. It can take five or more minutes for one to mix two vodka and tonics. The bartender carefully places large ice cubes individually into each glass with a tiny spoon.

Then he measures out precisely 50 grams of vodka with a calibrated cup. The tonic is carefully poured to within a half-inch of the rim of the glass. And then the glasses are set on the bar. The Russians prefer to drink their vodka ice cold and straight in a small shot glass. Americans adapt quickly.

A banker from Indiana groaned as he watched a Moscow bartender wrestle unsuccessfully with an order for a very dry vodka martini. Then he shrugged, ordered a straight double vodka and sighed, "Ten to one, ten to nothing; what difference docs it really make?" He saluted the bartender with the 4. fct'C the list.

ABC is almost routinely first in ratings 22 of 23 weeks this season and the network's "Laverne and Shirley," "Happy Days" and "Three's Company" seem to swap the No. 1 spot from week to week. Generally, CBS or NBC slips a show into the Top 5, but in the most recent survey, NBC's best was No. 6 "Little House on the Prairie," CBS' was the Grammy awards show, No. 7.

"Laverne and Shirley" was the week's most-watched program, with a rating of 31.9. Nielsen says that means of all the homes in the country with TV, 31.9 percent watched all or part of the show. ABC's score for the week was 21.9. CBS was second at 19.3 and NBC third for the fourth week in a row at 17.9. The network rating means in an average prime time minute, 21.9 percent, of the homes in the country with television were watching ABC.

CBS' runnerup finish came despite heavy representation at the bottom of Even a small amount of hair on your upper lip is sure to detract from your beauty image.
