Abstract: We present tests of the flavor independence of strong interactions via preliminary measurements of the ratios as(b) /Q~(u~sc) and CY~(~L~S) /a,(k) using data collected by the SLD experiment at SLAC during the 1992 SLD/SLC run.In addition, we have measured the difference in charged particle multiplicity between 2' --) bb and -Z" + UU, dd, ss events, and find that it supports the prediction of perturbative QCD that the multiplicity difference be independent of center-of-mass energy.We have also made a preliminary study of jet polarization and find, using a charge-signed definition, a small net handedness in our sample of hadronic jets.Presented at the XXVIII Rencontre de Moriond: &CD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions Les Arcs, fiance, March 20-27, 1993 --. * Work supported by Department of Energy contracts DE-AC03-76SF00515 (SLAC
