' Washington -(Science Serv
ice) - When a United States
astronaut finally gets to the
moon, he can expect in estab
lished Soviet colony, probably
celebrating its fifth year of
lunar discovery and explor
ation, to greet him. :
The Soviet success in orbit
ing and recovering a man from
space means that they can get
a man on the moon in four or
five years, and probably will.
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-. . ,

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'

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

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.

Pachanga Rivaling
Mambo and Cha-Cha
New York-OIPD-The latest
rival of the mambo and the
cha.-cha is called the "pa
changa", according to Latin
American dance enthusiasts
who saw it introduced recent
ly in New York.
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.

SPECIAL
TWO PARTS DISAPPOINTMENT
Ready-To-Wear Overalls for Space
Travelers Given Demonstration
, By DICK WEST
Washington- (UPD -The mak
ers of "Playtex, - the living
bra," put on a demonstration
here that left
me with mix
ed emotions
o n e part
amaze ment
and two parts
d 1 s a p p oint
ment. . .
"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.
