Medford Mail Tribune Russian May Be First Man on Moon New York-O-TD-A Columbia University astrophysicist said today that the first man may land on the moon within two years-and he'll probably be a Russian. Dr. Lloyd Motz, associate professor of astronomy, said he believes the Russians could have hit the moon with their Lunik satellite. And he said he does not believe the launching of the United States' Pioneer IV sun satel lite last week puts us in "the same league" with Russian space explorers. The energy required to launch the Russian satellite was more than 100 times greater," Motz said. "Our finer instruments cannot make up for such a vast dif ference in power." He said the Russian Lunik apparently was intended to orbit the sun, since its fourth stage rocket was not fired un til it was within the gravita tional field of the moon.

Ike Faces Task of Military Shakeup; New Defense Chief Washington -UPD- President Eisenhower faces the prospect of shaking up his military high command as well as finding a new defense secretary in the explosive months ahead. Terms of office are running out for the Joint Chiefs of Staff who will march before the Senate preparedness sub committee this week to tell how ready their forces are for a Berlin crisis. The fact their terms are ex piring could be an important backdrop for their testimony and govern how dramatically they may want to express their reservations about the Presi dent's defense budget. Changes Indicated By mid-August Eisenhower must replace or reappoint all the four chiefs who are respon sible for planning major mili tary strategy and directing the big combat -commands. Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy, who himself plans to leave his post by Dec. 31 bar ring a grave emergency, al ready has indicated there will be changes in the joint chiefs. That calls for decisions fairly soon to pave the way for other shifts that come with a shake up at the top. If Eisenhower should decide to reappoint the entire slate because of world conditions, he presumably would an nounce that soon to end specu lation and disrupting Penta gon guessing games. Taylor to Retire . Gen Maxwell D. Taylor, 57, chief of staff of the Army, which seems to have most com plaints about the defense bud get, let it be known informal ly Monday that he expected to retire on June 30. The second member of the joint chiefs winding up a sec ond two-year term is Adm. Ar leigh A. Burke, chief of naval operations. He too is 57. His tour ends Aug. 17. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, 61, chairman of the joint chiefs, is expected to be reappointed if he wants to continue in the post.

Off-Duiy Soldier Is Wine Tester Frankfurt, Germany - (UPD -Specialist Paul D. Rhoades of Aliquippa, Pa., is a happy soldier indeed. He spends his off-duty time tasting wine for his father-in-law, a German vineyard owner. The 30-year-old specialist is stationed with the U.S. Sev enth Army's 40th Artillery Group in Wackernheim, His father-in-law's vineyard is in Ebersheim, on the wine-famous Rhine River.

He's been tasting Rhine wine since 1950 and says his biggest thrill came in 1953 when "some wine from our vineyard was se lected to be sent to England for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II." The most important indus trial product of Chile is ni trate of soda. The stalwart Indian braves Gen. Thomas D. White, 57, Air Force chief, also is expect ed to be reappointed.

' Portland School Board Rules on Student Beards Portland -dTD- Beard lovers lost their appeal to the Port land school board Monday night. The board said, in effect, that if high school principals so decree then off must eome the beards. A packed audience - which contained a sprinkling of beared men attended the school board meeting. Gary Sanders, 16, a bearded student from Franklin high school, wanted to keep his beard. He failed to shave it off at a Feb. 14 deadline set ear lier by school officials after a Centennial beard contest. Personal Matter Sanders' father, Frank A. Sanders, said he believed beard-growing was a personal matter, that there is an indivi duality to maintain in a demo cracy and that his son wanted to stay in the spirit of the Cen tennial. Board Director Herbert M. Schwab said that some boys and girls would come to school most improperly dressed if left to their own decisions. "Some of us who can be trust ed to do the right thing find our liberties restricted for the good of the whole," he said. Sanders said he was not cer tain what his next step would be.

Mark Hatfield's com bined capital gains and ciga rette tax proposal, but without any recommendation as to its passage.
