THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 1963 " MEOFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Man and Space . America's All-Out Campaign for Man On Moon Dampened By ALVIN B, WEBB JR, CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) -"Racing to the moon, high up in the midnight sky . . ." : But probably not for long. -America's bid- (or manned conquest of - space, which has borrowed tne moon as a sort ot "carrot-on-a-stick" incentive ap proach, is headed for a major shake-up or "reorientation, as they say of programs and personnel. ; -, ' . The carrot suddenly lost its taste appeal. Congress, which overhelm ingly endorsed President Ken nedy's decision '2'A years ago to make the landing of the first astronauts on the moon a "na tional goal," has stopped writ ing blank checks for space re search. This year's budget was cut by $500 million. The President, who had said "We possess all the resources and talents necessary," indicat ed some second thoughts of his own with a dramatic proposal in September that the united States and the Soviet' Union journey jointly to the moon, Khrushchev Won't Bit Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev jerked the rug from under the whole $40 bil lion works by stating rather jovially that Russia wasn't in terested in - competing, and wished the United States "good luck." If, as some have claimed, Khrushchev's real intent was to lull America into a sense of lunar disinterest, he is off to a good start. Moon racing now seems as faddish - as goldfish swallowing and hula-hooping. Insiders privately concede that neither the Kennedy ad ministration nor ihe' National Aeronautics and Space Admin istration can depend- much longer on holding up the moon as the prize for space mastery. The public apparently isn't buy ingparticularly at $40 billion. The months ahead, are ex pected to see a slow but' detec table withdrawal by the United Mates trom plans lor an au-oui stations in orbit around earth, the type of program the Soviet Union has said over and over again it is pursuing. - Some of America's top scien tists in the federal space agen cy have admitted off the rec ord that manned space stations would have been a more logi cal approach in the first place. But present U.S. plans place that sort of program in the "post-lunar" phase meaning after 1970. - Russia is an odds-on favorite to establish a small space sta tion in orbit around earth by 1965. Another "reorientation" in the U.S. space program is ex pected to be a revamping of NASA leadership. James E. Webb is considered on his way out as the space agency's ad ministrator, possibly before the next session of Congress. Bitter Several Times Webb, an ebullient North Car olinian with a penchant for or ganizational genius,, grabbed a tiger by the tail when he took over the job ot leading me na tion's fastest growing federal agency under President Kenne dy. He has been bitten several times, not of his own fault. Webb was caught short when the President made Ills propos al for a joint American-Soviet lunar expedition. Then along came Khrushchev's "withdraw al" to shoot the props from un der Webb's gallant bid to pre vent a reduction in his pro posed $5.7 billion space budget, i Not tne least oi me ourgeon- he problems inside the U. S. space effort is the rift between NASA headquarters in wasn ington and its Manned Space craft Center in Houston, Tex. Houston personnel have been shuffled and reshuffled in at tempts to gain better coordina tion between the two. Meanwhile, the space agency has become aware that money is getting tight. Last week, It decided to save $50 billion and possibly stave off further budg etary cuts - by eliminating four Apollo carin-oroiung snois : fit' fer p 'BACK TO BAKING' These lemon-glazed buns are perfect "kaf- fee klatch" gems for welcoming neighbors or friends from further away when they drop in for a chat.

And all you could do was watch in helpless frustration, temper rising, with a shapeless lump of wet clothes in a basket for company and consolation.

Scalloped Potatoes and Pork Chop With Milk Evaporated milk, one of the most nutritious and handy-to-use kinds of milk, adds its smooth goodness to this scalloped po tato and pork chop bake to make it a hearty and satisfying main dish. It can be prepared in an electric skillet, on the range or have its final cooking in the oven. The combination of condensed cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk and seasoning is an easy-to-do-sauce. We thick en this slightly and use it also as a gravy for Swiss steak, hamburger patties, fish steaks and fillets. Recipe makes four servings. 2 tablespoons butler 4 thick pork chops 2 teaspoons salt Pepper 1 can UOVi ounces) con densed cream of mush room soup 1 tall can (1 cups) evaporated milk cup water 4'A cups thinly sliced raw potatoes A cup sliced green onions Melt butter in electric skillet at 340 degrees. Sprinkle pork chops with one teaspoon of the salt and one-quarter teaspoon pepper. Place pork chops in pan and brown well on both sides. While chops are browning, make a sauce by combining the mushroom soup, evaporated milk, water, the remaining one teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper. Remove browned chops from skillet (it saves a dish to lift them out onto a piece of aluminum foil); reduce heat to 240 degrees. Add a little of the sauce to the meat juices in pan and stir until smooth. Place a layer of potatoes, a scattering of onion, then sauce alternately in the skillet until all Is used, ending with the sauce. Place pork chops on top. Cover and bake in skillet at 2-10 degrees (or on low flame) until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. This can be baked in a 350 degree oven.

The figure was 2,030 to be exact, he said. This compared with about 200 the year before, when there were no improved campsites at tne lake. Because of the apparent de mand for campsites, 18 more will be installed in time for next year's season, Ledward said. The lake seems to have a special appeal for persons who live in climates which are more moist than that of the Rogue Valley, he explained. Among the visitors last summer were families from the Oregon Coast and the rainy areas of Washing ton, many of whom spent as long as two or three weeks at Emigrant. . There is also a demand for a group picnic area that can be Expanded Film Rental Service Is Available CORVALLIS An expanded film rental service to individ uals, schools and organizations throughout the western states has been announced by the Oregon State System of Higher Education.
