THp to the Moon
OK, but How Will
/. Tourists Get Back?
BY the Assoeiaied Press

LONDON, Sept. 8. - You are
way up yonder tipping along at
so, 900 miles an hour in a rocket.
Theoretically, that's possible and
some people have signed up gin
gerly for a rocket Zoom to the
moon sometime in the future.
Okay. How do you get back to
earth?
That problem, the foremost
rocket men conceded today, is
something they've got to solve
before the conquest of space
begins.
The experts are attending the
international Congress on Astro-
nautics and studying possibilities
of interplanetary travel.
Edward Sawyer, an American
delegate and one of the founders
of the Pacific Rocket Society, said
maybe the comeback to earth
would be by special parachute
equipment.
Sawyer said there would be a
certain reluctance on the part of
the first space pilots to fly into
the unknown unless they have a
chance of getting back.
Members of my society believe
specialized parachutes, first tested
at supersonic (faster-than-sound)
velocity, would solve that prob
lem" he said.

The university expects an en-

labeled fantastic"
The Army and Air Force would
be given more than $40 billion
each in the appropriation bill
while the Navy's share would be
$15.5 billion.
The committee report showed
that the breakdown in unspent
funds was as follows: Army, $21 5
billion; Navy, $73 billion; Air
Force. $15.4 billion.
The latest estimate of actual
cash expenditures planned for the
fiscal year ending next June 80
is divided as follows: Army. $14.9
billion; Navy. $l1.5 billion; Air
Force, $12 2 billion.
The new bill includes a special
emergency fund of SIS billion,
which, witnesses at the closed
door committee hearings told Sem
ators. would mean the start of an
Air Force build-up toward $50 to
160 wings. The committee has
written into the bill a floor" of

come up with a proposed new
strength plan for all the services
by october 10.
A transcript of the committees
sessions was made public yester-
day. It shows that, at one point,
Senator Maybank, Democrat, of
South Carolina, asked: ...
IF just SIS billion is added (to
the big money bilD in contract
authority and cash, you would be
starting on somewhere between
$50 and 1853 groups?"
"Yes, SIR" replied Brig. Gen.
Manuel j. Asensio, director OF
budget for the Air Force.
Brig. Gen. Horace A. Shepard
procurement director, added that
the additional fund would provide
for the purchase "of the first in
crement of the arplanes ulti-
mately required by an Air Force
of the size approximately $50 to
160 wings"
The committee, however, speci-
fled that the additional SIS billion
called a National Emergency
Fund"-Should be used for ex-
pansion of Navy and Marine avia-
tion as well. 1t provided further
that before the money could be
allocated for use, a report must
