Officials Doubt Russia Out Of Raceiclouds Ma WASHINGTON UPD - U.S. space authorities from President Kennedy on down take no stock in a British scientist's report that the Russians may abandon the "race" to the moon. American authorities are sure the Russians are driving to put men on the moon and, eventually, Mars. In any case, they noted, this is what the Russians them selves have been saying again and again. Sir Bernard Lovell. Britain's famous radio astronomer who had iust returned home from three weeks in Russia, said Tuesday Soviet scientists were not con vinced it was a good idea to send people to (lie moon.

However, final decision will be made by Coast Guard headquar ters in Washington, D.C. There was no indication when that deoi sion would be made. A spokesman at the Coast Guard's I2ui District headquar ters here confirmed Tuesday that a special board of officers inves tigated the Tongue Foint sue near Astoria May 16. The board recommended against acquisition of Tongue Point, a former naval base, pri marily because it would be too expensive, (lie spokesman said Tongue Point was also found to bo "too big" and the general lay out "awkward," according to the spokesman. In addition, the board said the Coast Guard could get more for its money by improving the facili ties at Alameda rather than pur chasing the Tongue Point prop erty.

Kennedy, asked at his newsl conference Wednesday about Lov- cll's statement, replied: "His in formation is not final." Carrying Heavy Campaign The President said the Soviet 6pace capability is "substantial' and there is "every evidence that they are carrying on a major campaign and diverting greatly needed resources to their space ettort. "I think we ought to go right ahead with our own program and go to the moon before the end of this decade," Kennedy said. "The point of the matter al ways has been not only of our excitement or interest in being on the moon, but the capacity to dominate space, which would be demonstrated by a moon flight, I believe, is essential to the Uni ted States as a leading free world power." Dr. Edward C. Welsh, executive secretary of the National Aer onautics and Space Council which plays a key role in setting, Interfere U.S. space policy, also replied to "Sir Bernard is entitled to hisi EdipSe opinion and, since there is free dom of speech, he is entitled to express it," he said. Going To The Moon "But all the information avail able to us is that the Soviets have a well balanced space pro gram and that, in it, is a proj ect for going to the moon. If we are wrong we will get there first. But if we take the complacent attitude that the Rus sians are not going to try, we1 will assure them of first place on the moon." Last year the Senate space committee got out a 400-page re port on "Soviet Space Programs." It quoted a lot of Soviet spokes men to one effect: The Russians are going to the moon.

ArDnS MT d Im ilii si sisi li BAR HARBOR, Maine (UPli- Nature could spoil nature's big show Saturday, at least for spec tators on the ground. The weather was topmost in the minds of scientists gathering here to observe the total eclipse of the sun. The weather bureau forecast a light cover of putfy cumulus clouds over central Maine, the only area in the United States except Alaska where the eclipse may be seen in its entirety. A forecaster said the chances are better than 50-50 that the to tal eclipse will be seen by most persons except in spots where clouds obscure nature's most awesome performance. Though the forecast generally is favorable, New England is widely known for its whimsical weather. If the weather cooperates, the eclipse will be viewed by about 100,000 persons including scien tists on the ground and in jet aircraft traveling nearly twice the speed of sound at altitudes up to 48.000 feet. The jets aircrau will be able to fly above normal cloud covers. Scientists believe that fish and wildlife may put on some show of their own when the moon moves between the earth and the sun, causing a sudden darkness to fall over the area. The Committee on Oceanogra phy of the National Academy of Science wants to know in par ticular what herring will do dur ing the period of darkness. The fish and wildlife service has been asked to waloh all types of fish and land animals to see what happens. At the same time, the Ameri can Medical Association has is sued stern warnings that the hu man eye can be damaged severe ly if exposed, even brieily, to the direct rays of the sun. Doctors warned that the only safe method of watching an eclipse is by the "projection meth od," that is by looking at an image of it on a piece of paper while facing away from the sun.

The Oregon Supreme Court Wednesday reversed a Umatilla Circuit Court decision which had thrown out the case Ted T. Short had brought against Federated Livestock Corp. A new trial was ordered. Short claimed the corporation was negligent because it hadn't made its hog pens reasonably safe. The high court said the employ ers liability law didn't cover the case, but under common law standards the employer had failed to provide a reasonably safe place to work. However, it pointed out that an employe's failure to exercise due care could raise the question of contributory negligence. PAGE S A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Friday, July ID, 1963 Ochsner Says Fags Cause Lung Cancer PORTLAND (UPK-A million teenagers alive today will die of lung cancer before they are 70 as a result of cigarette smoking, Dr. Alton Ochsner said here Wednes day. Dr. Ochsner, a surgeon and emeritus professor of surgery at Tulane University, is here to ad dress the Northwest Cancer Con ference which opened Thursday. He scored doctors, priests, par ents and teachers for failing to accept their responsibilities about cigarette smoking. He said the teenagers would die in time "from a disease which is preventable." "If we said fallout would kill that many, you can be sure that something would be done about it and done right now." He said lung cancer was almost nonexistent 30 years ago. It is now the most frequent of cancers. He said next year more people will die of lung cancer in this country than from automobile accidents. Dr. Ochsner said he had no doubts about the evidence against cigarettes. He said the over-all death rate from all causes is 105 per cent higher among cigarette smokers than non-smokers. He recommended that America and Great Britain curb cigarette advertising of "manliness, strength and virility," and adver tising which can reach young people. The death rate from lung can cer is 800 per cent higher, he said. HAVE YOUR CAR WASHED . . . automatically In leas thin lit mlnutea, $1.16, Sparkle Car Wash 4023 So. Sixth AUTI0N!
