He doesn't think main Job
is getting to moon first
By Douglas Dirfr
UPI Staff Wrlttr
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The
new chief of the U.S. program to
land astronauts on the moon be
fore 1970 said today he does not
like to think of the task of being
"a race with the Russians."
"I don't think our main motive
ihould be trying to get to the
moon first," said Dr. George E.
Mueller, who will head what is'
perhaps the most ambitious re
search and engineering enterprise
ever undertaken by man.
"Naturally I think the United
States should be pre-eminent in
space, and I think we can. But I
don't regard getting to the moon
as a race.
Sound Program A Must
"t think we must haip an or
dered, sound and well conceived
program," said the bespectacled
45-year-old space executive who
bag had 23 years experience in
missile guidance, deep space
communications, microwave re
search and space payload de
sign. "We must think primarily
of doing the best job we can."
Mueller, vice president for re
search and development at Space
Technology Laboratories, Los An
geles, acknowledged that "of
course we must always keep an
eye on what the Russians are do
ing." But he added:
"I believe we should concern
ourselves chiefly with the job we
are doing. The real purpose is
the accomplishment itself."
Mueller, a quiet and exacting
man, was named a week ago to
succeed D. Brainerd Holmes as
chief of the U.S. Apollo program.
He will take over the $21,000-a
year post Sept 1. .

Around the Space Technology
Laboratories he is known as
"cool and calculating" by his as
sociates who say he "uses up a
lot of shoe leather." .
"He is the shoe leather type,"
said an associate. "He constantly
walks from laboratory to labora
tory, keeping abreast with what s
going on.
"And he has instant under
standing. Mueller can merely
look at a problem and get
grasp of what's involved. He has
striking powers of appraisal.
Missile Expert
Dr. Mueller is an expert in the
Defense Department's Atlas, Ti
tan, Minuteman and Thor mis
sile programs and the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis

space projects.

Hearing called
on referendum
OLYMPIA, Wash. (UPI) Chief
Justice Richard B. Ott of the State
Supreme Court has scheduled a
hearing for Thursday to decide if
the court will consider the toler
ance policy gambling referendum
dispute.
Ott directed attorneys on both
sides of the issue to appear be
fore him to discuss the matter.
He was expected to accept the
case and set it for an oral hear
ing before the full court later this
year.
The Amusement Association of
Washington has urged the high
court to reverse the decision of
Thurston County Superior Court
Judge Charles T. Wright who
ruled that the referendum should
appear on the November, 1964,
general election ballot.
Wright said the issue should go
on the ballot even though the pe
titions supporting the referendum
were stolen June 21 before they
could be convassed.
SEAT BELTS REQUIRED
NEW YORK (UPI) Twenty
states and the District of Columb
ia have passed legislation requir
ing seat bells in new automobiles.
Fifteen of the new seat belt laws
were passed during the 1963 legis
lative sessions. Six other similar
acts are pending. The laws now
in effect cover 46 million of the
nation's 65.5 million cars.
the Corn Belt now is rated as
mostly adequate for good growth
and development of the 1963 corn
crop.
The Weather Bureau said near
normal temperatures and moder
ate to heavy showers in the week
ended July 22 gave the 1963 corn
crop an additional boost in prac
tically all sections of the Corn
Belt.
More than three-fourths of the
acreage reached the tassel
ing stage by the end of the period
in Kansas and Missouri and three
fifths in Iowa and Illinois, the bu
reau said. Slightly less progress
was shown in the remaining
corn belt states.
The bureau said the average
height of plants in the Corn Belt
now ranges from four to six feet.
The bureau said the winter
wheat harvest is almost finished
in the eastern half of the Corn
Belt, and has started early in
Montana.
Harvesting of the oats crop
moved along rapidly between
showers in most areas, the bu
reau said.
Widespread showers have Im
proved soybean stands in most
sections of the commercial belt
and halted deterioration in the
previously dry localities, the bu
rea said. The rains were too late
in some parts of Ohio.
The bureau reported excellent
growth and fruiting of the cotton
crop throughout the Southwest,
where insect and disease damage
so far this season have been gen
erally below normal. Harvesting
of the crop already has stalled
in parts of Texas.
The bureau said cotton con
tinued to make good to excellent
progress In the eastern half of
the Cotton Belt.
The Agriculture Department has
recommended a 7 per cent cut In
acreage for 1964-crop winter vege
tables for fresh use. The agency
also called for a 2 per cent de
crease in the total 1964 winter
potato acreage.
The department's acreage-marketing
guides are designed to help
growers in planning production.
Their use is voluntary.
The 1954 guides call for a
total of 236,000 acres to be planted
to 15 winter vegetables. There
were 253,700 acres planted in
1963.
Acreage increases recommend
ed included: Spinach, 15 per cent
in Texas; beets and cucumbers,
10 per cent; and cabbage, S per
cent in Texas. Decreases included
carrots, 20 per cent; tomatoes, 10
per cent; and lettuce, 5 per cent
in California, Arizona, and Flo
rida. The winter potato guide for
1964 is a planted acreage equal
to 1963 in California and 5 per
cent less than 1963 in Florida. The
department said the recommend
ed acreages would produce about
3.8 million hundredweight.
The Crop Reporting Board said
the 1963 tame blackberry crop in
Oregon and Washingon would to
tal 23.731,000 pounds, 18 per cent
less than the crop harvested in
1962, and slightly below the five
year average. Oregon and Wash
ington are the largest producers

The department has announced
plans to hiiy canned green beans,
packed in 1963, for use in the na
tional school lunch program.
Tlie department also has said
it will assist California growers
in marketing fresh plums. The
department will offer to buy
plums as a surplus removal ac
tivity, and distribute them to in
stitutions and other eligible outlets.
