Leaders Doubt Man on Moon This Decade
Washington from United Press International reports that most House Space Committee members doubt the U.S. will land a man on the moon within the 1960s. Only two of seven see a good chance, and even they require Congress to fund NASA generously. Chairman George P. Miller and subcommittee head Olin Teague stress money as the decisive factor, amid a push for a $141 million supplemental appropriation atop $5.1 billion for NASA. Appropriations Chair Clarence Cannon opposes the request.
