The best the United States can hope to do is get an American to the moon in 1971, according to an estimate by the National eronautics and Space admin tion. '. . . v-. . , "IM yniiScant and exclt - rue t f man (In space) lies )( , 'nn of the moon t Dr. Lloyd V. cbrmatl of the board of the Na tional' Academy of Sciences, has written. The first step leading to the moon and the planets is the orbiting of man, Dr. Berkner noted. The Soviet success in Achieving this first step has underscored the lag in U.S. space booster capacity. Initial congressional reaction to the Soviet man-ln-space indicates that great pressure will be placed upon i the scientists responsible for; the govern ment's space program to accel erate plahs and schedules for orbiting a U.S. astronaut. Perhaps the lowest blow dealt to those working in the U.S. space program came from Rep. James. G. Fulton (R-Pa.) who said America "should get some space enthusiasts who re . willing to take some risks." The Pennsylvania Re publican, r a n k ing minority member of the house commit tee r on science and' astronaU' tics, said he would be willing to take a trip.' rjght now aboard NASA's Mercury space capsule scheduled to take a man In suborbital flight in the Csnitol Memo :zlz2uvo May ::vo Crqdit for jrifl Economy a- ftji -Those who j l!ke to label the 1961 "xture as a "do nothing" session would be hard-pres sed even if the legislators packed and went bom tomorrow.' History, as they say. will be the final L W. il Judge but it "nouiiHOriDT looks as U the 81st legislative assembly will go down as a "boost the economy" session. The Immediate impact of this will be: Who gets the credit? The Democrats, with major ities In both . Houses,, will atake a claim for sure: Re publican Gov, Mark Hatfield probably views It as a seg ment of his get-Industry verve. A belief that. the leg' lslature merely lapped up his proposals wouldn t hurt . at the polls. : In the new start field the legislature ' to date has ap proved and sent to Hatfield (1) legislation enabling in ternational Paper Co. to build a pulp mill at Gardiner (2) bills creating a unique space age industrial park at Board- man, and (3) a 324 million bridge at the mouth of the Columbia river, touted as an economic spur for all of Ore gon, Approval is expected for ' a bill to permit Industry to drill .into the Oregon ocean bottom for oil and gas and there will be some sort of a state construction program in the next two years, The Boardman project Is definitely the governor's baby Boom or bust, it's basically his idea He probably can make the most hay with tne interna' tlonal Paper project because the Land Board ' he heads asked for the enabling legls- : latlon, The bridge was definitely afoitlv4 nrorosfll. ' P''t supporters admit Hatfield's strong endorsement helped get it through. The oil credit, if any. will be hard to divvy. The Land Board was the first to get into it but the legislature burned much more midnight oil on it. ' Since the executlve-leglsk' tlve relationship - is that the governor proposes and the leg islature disposes - .and both represent 1 the same people It is sometimes difficult to give 'credit, or blame, when one or the other is due. , The Industry-and-new-Jobs bandwagon will surely be at Issue In the 1962 campaign. What it bolls down to Is that one couldn't do anything without-the other. next few weeks, implying that the Mercury astronauts lack enthusiasm for the venture. This is bitterly resented by the space men and the scien tists and technicians working in Project Mercury. The blame for the lag cer tainly cannot be attributed to a lack of enthusiasm on . the part of the Mercury asto nauts, each of whom has said many times that he is ready and willing to fly in space the moment the signal is given. Lack of Imagination on the part of government leaders, including many of the con gressmen now calling ' for more effort In space, (s partly to blame for our lag in space. Failure to develop adequately new chemldal' advances, par ticularly In the area of solid fuels - for rocket engines, is seen as another reason for the lag. -,, ' The value and potential of solid fuels, In rocket develop ment was called to the atten tion of the house subcommit tee on appropriations in June, 1988, in a review of the -U.S. rocket and satellite program in the International Geophysi cal Year. The reliability of solid fuel boosters was stress ed by Dr. Homer Newell, vice chairman of the IGY U.S. technical panel on rocketry. Dr. Newell now is NASA's deputy ' director, office of space flight program. But the present NASA space budget allots only $3.1 million to re search' and development in solid fuel propulsion systems as compared to more than $99 million for liquid fuel. I, . Scientists, experts in the field, claim both time and money could be saved by greater utilization of solid fuel engines. Combining this technology with advances established In liquid - fuel rockets would yield a pro pulsion system that could out strip present Soviet thrust capabilities within three years. But the present Ad ministration, like that preced ing it, has decided to Continue concentration on liquid fuel rockets.

The dance involves sway ing, hopping and something that neither of its predeces sors did-the furious manpu lation of handkerchiefs. The nachanga, sometimes called the charanga, after the musi cal tempo, has been described as the nearest thing to a cross between the cha-cha and the Charleston. It involves less physical exertion than the mambo. Theyll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hado Flotilla - '-V- 'TmisHouJwjfJKS PSlTM GIVES HIS NIBS ! OT ME DOWN!

"The two Weil nvwuu wuru discovered that the demon stration was not uplifting In the way that one might ex pect from the Playtex peo ple. The other part came when I learned that they have tak en the know-how gained from the manufacture of founda tion garments and applied it to the creation of coveralls for astronauts. . In other words, to cease being coy about It, this was a demonstration of a new s'-r?b suit that the Interna tional Lutex Corp, has de veloped for the Air Force. . According to spokesmen for the firm, the space suit is the most advanced strato sphere costume yet designed in this country and may be more stylish than anything the Russians have conceived. One big advantage is the ease with which it can be put on and taken off. An astronaut can wiggle into the suit in about the time it takes for an over-caloric lady to sheath herself in a Playtex girdle. ' . Another feature of the space suit is its mobility. It permits the spaceman to move around with as much freedom as . . , well, I won't use that comparison again. Up to now, most space suits have been custom tailored to fit a specific astronaut. The Playtex people claim their creation will make It possible to transfer space suits to the ready-to-wear depart). icnt. They figure that 90 per cent of our future astronauts can be outfitted from a basic stock of just four sizes. The other 10 per cent presumably will have to go to the altera tion department. ; y It was an interesting dem onstration but not as, enter taining as the conversation I had with a taxi driver who j picked mo up after it was over. On Monday night, the driv er said, a couple of his pas sengers turned out to be gay blades, strangers in tow n, who asked to be taken some place where they might meet some girls. The driver dropped them off at Constitution Hall, scene of this week's convention of the Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution. 4-H Club News Smart Cookies The April 17 meeting of the, Smart Cookies 4-H club was called to order by Presi dent Sue Lisenbee.
