Landing Editor'l note The ITnlterf Rft and the Soviet Union both have aid they are headed lor the moon and planets. The goals are common, the dilference secrecy, in the fol lowing dispatch, a U.S. space time, table Is discussed alone with the possibility ol a lunar landing by 1967. By JOSEPH L. MYLER Washington - (UPI) - The Russians say they are going to the moon and planets. So are we. The Russians, addicted to secrecy, give no timetable for their next man-in-space ventures. Here are America's plans: -In the next couple of months or so, two or more suborbital rocket trips like Alan Shepard's, with John Glenn, Virgil Grissom, and perhaps another astronaut on the pilot's couch. -Then orbital flights by a Mercury spacecraft, the first one empty except for instru ments, the next one perhaps occupied by a chimpanzee. -Late this year or early next, an orbital ride by a Mercury astronaut three times around the earth. Eventually, the Mercury man-in-space project may see an astronaut sailing up to 18 times around the earth and enduring weightlessness for 27. hours, compared to an hour and a half for Russia's Yuri Gagarin and five min utes for Shepard. Chimps Take Over When men no longer ride the Mercury capsule in space, chimps may take over for ex tended bouts with weightless ness ranging from two days to two weeks. After Mercury comes Apollo, a program to put three men at a time into space for periods of weeks. The Apollo spaceship, unlike the cramped Mercury cabin, will be roomy enough for its crew members to move about, and comfortable and secure enough for them to work in their shirt sleeves instead of a pressure suit. The crew will fly it, once it has been boosted into space, just as aircraft crews fly mod ern jet transports. Shepard's "Freedom 7" and "Vostok" could be maneuvered to a small extent. But, except for braking rockets to bring them out of orbit, the Amer ican and Soviet craft have no control over speed and trajectory. Apollo crews, however, will be able to change speed and trajectory at will, and they will be able to land the craft under its own power at places of their own choosing. Possible in 1964 ': The first launching of an ' unmanned design model of the AdoIIo spaceship may come in 1964 when the first version of the big Saturn space vehicle is expected to . be ready for regular assign ments. The year -1965 may see three Apollo spacemen soar ing in orbit around the earth for as long as three weeks This craft, an orbiting labor- ' atory, would be the fore. . runner of future space plat- forms. These orbiting platforms in turn will serve as space- . ships rendezvous, spaceship assembly, spaceship crew ex- ' change, and supply stations for manned missions to the moon or planets. Before men make lunar landings, however, they will be put in orbit around the - moon and brought back to earth. This could be done in 1967 if a second generation Saturn is ready, as expected, bv then. Not even the second gener ation Saturn will be able to lift enough weight to land Four Mentioned for Anderson's Post Newport, Ore. - (UPD - The names of at least four possible appointees to the Lincoln County Circuit Court position left vacant by the death of Judge Richard Anderson were being mentioned here Thursday. Anderson died in March In a plane crash. His body was not recovered until Wednes day. Memorial services will be held here next Monday. Gov. Mark Hatfield is ex pected to announce an ap pointment, possibly next week. The four possible appoint ces mentioned here are: Former Gov. John Hall, New port; Lincoln County Dist. Atty.

Scientists are convinc ed that nuclear engines are necessary for long range space exploration. The first lunar landing by an American conceivably could come in 1967. But 1969, 1970, or 1971 appears much more probable. Flights to the planets, tak ing more than a year for the round trip, cannot be sched uled until the engineers see how the moon trips turn out.

Dellenback Comes From Salem With Confidence in The greatest thing at stake in the Oregon legislature was not any particular bills, but "our whole system of govern ment," S'.Ae Rep. John Del lenback, Medford, declared Wednesday in a talk to Med ford Kiwanis club at its noon luncheon. Dellenback, Republican, who was a freshman in the 1961 session, said he came away from the legislature with "a renewed confidence in our system of government as long as we remain alive and do not sell it out ..." Our government, Dellen back brought out, "is built fundamentally on the fact that all of us have a voice in it." The people have a responsibil ity, he asserted, adding that a government is no better than the people it sends to the leg islature. Government Goes On "So long as that system is maintained," said the legisla tor, "our government will go on." He brought up the question of whether the government in this country can stand up against rival governmental systems which avert delays and efficiency. But, he warn ed that as soon as short cuts are taken, "the whole basic fundamental of our govern ment will go out." Dellenback declared that a battle of systems of govern ment is being fought on world-wide basis. The representative spent much of the talk discussing how the legislature works and the implications of the way it works. He pointed out that election of the speaker is one of the most crucial actions of the house because the speaker names the committees and their chairman. Saying that he was discuss ing the matter analytically, rather than critically, Dellen back pointed out that control of every committee is in the hands of the majority party. Every bill goes to committee before it goes to the floor of the house. The legislator further ex plained that, if a committee decides not to send a bill to the floor and tables it, it is to all intents dead, because a two-third vote of the house is needed to bring the bill out. He mentioned that such a ma jority is hard to get. Concerning the 1961 ses sion, Dellenback said that there were not many things before the house of represent atives on which there were decisions which were really partisan politics. "Basically," he stated, "the legislature tries to make decisions as well as the system will permit without primary regard to partisan politics." He said, too, that a good feature of the legislature is that.it has peo ple in it from all walks of life. Seats in the house are mixed up, not separated as to party, Dellenback mentioned. He said this is good because there is no voting by physical blocks. Legislators generally lean on people they know in com mittees to determine how to vote on a bill. He pointed, however, to the influence from pressure from a legisla tor's home county or district. Really, the only area over which a legislature is limited is in those things which take money, Dellenback said. He expressed the opinion that surpluses are bad, adding that "the only thing worse is a deficit." He deplored the at titude toward surpluses of "how we can spend it" rather than .how can taxes be cut down. The representative describ o)W System ed the ways and means com mittee, which is concerned with bills of fiscal nature, as a hard working group which did its best. Dellenback spoke of prob lems of a biennially meeting legislature in trying to figure what state budget needs will be 21 years in advance. He said that the handwriting is on the wall for annual ses sions. Annual meetings are only a question of time be cause of their need if the stale is to be operated soundly, he stated. Reedsporl Area Plane Hunt Dropped Coquille - (UPD - An inten sive ground and aerial search, touched off by reports that two parachutes were seen in the sky in the Reedsport area north of here, was called off late Thursday. Two Coast Guard planes and a helicopter from the Portland Air Base searched the area but found nothing. Ground parties investigated what appeared to be a para chute south of Reedsport but it turned out to be only a whitened log. A Coast Guard spokesman said the reports evidently were "not valid." He said no planes had been reported miss ing. ROB GHANA DIPLOMAT Washington - (UPD - A diplo mat from Ghana was robbed at knife-point Thursday by three Negro men who stopped him on the street by saying they wanted to chat about African affairs. The discussion cost Mark B. Aaku, second secretary at the Ghana Em bassy, $31, his wrist watch, maroon necktie, and the coat of his London-made suit. Sammy Davis Jr. Shocked by Hate In South America Hollywood -IUP1U Entertain er Sammy Davis Jr. has re turned from night club ap pearances in Argentina and Brazil and was shocked at the hatred he found in both South American countries for the United States. "Castro and Cuba h ve stir red up terrific anti-American feeling," he said. "I was down there during the May Day Communist cele brations and it was really something to see. Every wall and fence in Buenos Aires was covered with red-painted signs, 'Viva Castro." Crowds in the streets were yelling, "Thousands of people in the heart of the city were waving banners and shouting 'Viva Castro.' It was frightening."

VOTE AGAINST DANCING Montpelier, Vt. -(UPD- By an overwhelming margin, the Vermont House voted down a bill to allow Sunday dancing, now forbidden by the ancient blue laws. The House rejected the measure Thursday 189-36, even with an amendment to allow Sunday dancing only after 2 p.m. and only at fra ternal and service clubs or hotels where there is no charge. cause I'm a Negro," he ex plained. "It would have been different if I were white. They talk about the terrible racial discrimination up here, but they have it too.

The rocket blasted into the sky in an attempt to plant a dummy warhead on a South Atlantic target more than 4, 000 miles away. But slightly more than a minutes later, the second flight model of the Air Force's missile began weaving snake like patterns through the sky. A range safety officer, dele gated with the job of keeping errant rockets from landing on populated land areas, trip ped two switches that blew the 33-ton Minuteman to bits. The wreckage plunged into the Atlantic ocean several hundred miles southeast of this missile testing center.
