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.

Coast Guard
Shuns Move To
Tongue Point
SAN FRANCISCO (UPH - A
special Coast Guard investigative
board has recommended against
moving the Coast Guard's Ala
meda, Calif., training center to
Tongue Point, Ore.
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

suggested "the Americans are
racing themselves" and not the!
Russians.
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

"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

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.

SALEM (UPII-A farm hand
who was knocked down and tram
pled while attempting to feed pigs
is going to get another chance to
take his case to court.
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.

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.
