 ' ' w Are Not Ready to Land Man on Moon

SAN FRANCISCO H3 The Soviet Union does not have the capability of landing man on the moon but may have Gin the very near future" Gherman Titov, Rus sian cosmonaut, said today.
 Titov was asked in a news con- ference to comment on claim by James E. Webb, National Aero nautics and Space Administration chief, that the United States had a chance to beat Russia in landing on the moon
 Let's not argue who will be first" on the moon, Titov said. Who ever is first, science will gain
 The curIy-haired, intense young cosrnonaut said his country was working on the moon landing prob lem and it might be solved very .soon.'
 Webb, NASA administrator, said in a television interview Sunday that Russia probably will be able to make a nulti-manned flight to the moon before the United States can. But Webb said the Soviets won't making any moon landings in the very near future.
 Titov declared such a remark was relative. He explained that very soon could mean two years or 20 years.
 Titov and his dark-haired wife Tamara, 24. faced a battery of tele- vision cameras, news photograph CTS, and reporters before starting on tour of the San Francisco 5 Bay aIca.
 They arrived last night after visiting the Seattle Worlds Fair where Titov used the occasion of an American Sunday to say he did not believe in God.
 He was asked at the news con- ference yesterday whether the 25 hours he spent in orbiting the earth IT times had changed his philosophy
 Some people say there is a God out there" Titov, Red Air Force major, said through an irl- terpreter, "but on my travels around the earth all day long ! looked and didn't see him. I saw no God or angels.
 'Up to our first orbital flight by Yuri Gagarin no God helped build olr rocket. The rocket was made by our people. don't be- ieve in God. I believe in man, his strength, his possibilities and his reason
 sTfitov took simulated trip a billion miles into outer space in the Science Palivion's Spaceariaun. He said, however, the picture did not depict the earth the way he saw it when he returned to earth.
 The Russian praised the $6 mill lion science display. Everyone should see it, he said.
 He was particularly interested in complex electronic conquer, which sent an imaginary satellite into orbit, and tracking sta- tion for transit naviga ttiiozlass satellite now orbitifss the earth. ICE IS STILL SOLID

Billie said she was afraid
for him to see the fluttery

ever had a sidesaddle on him,
this noble horse who before
his retirement, had won ten

Sunday afternoons classes
were capped by another party
of the young Dan Burners,
atop their hill across from
the Middleburg Training
Track.
The Burners buffet was
as elaborate as that at Graf
ton, and crowded.
It's a sure bet that there
were no adult meals cooked
around Upperville this week
end, except for those giving
parties.
In addition to the horse
show crowd, there were
other guests who circled the
Burners hill, including IN

McGhee with Cele and
daughter Marcia. George

those chairs from Foxcroft

than a sewing circle.

The Upperville Colt and
Horse Show had everything
yesterday afternoon from Liz
Whitney Tippett's fuschia
coach and two mules to
President John F. Kennedy's
First Lady.
Liz drove her stagecoach
down from Llangollen and
used it as a box.
Mrs. Kennedy leaned on
the rail in the shadow of the
coach. Dressed in a simple
turquoise linen, she chatted
with Rieky Ohstrom on the
far side of the show ring but
was more or less ignored by
the Sunday spectators who
poured into the Grafton show
grounds.

There was a dignified

that she is writing book on
the origin of the Firms, whose
language is one Of the most
difficult in Europe anc which
is more akin to Hungarian
than any other language Cat
least they have around 500
words that are similar). But
the origins of the wandering
Finnish tribes and why they
settled in the North has long
interested language and his
tory students, and Boston,
