Far from being starved in
space, Mr.. Miller said, the mill
tary has enjoyed 43 per cent of
the funding in that field of ac-
tivity to date. Space money
through fiscal 1868 amounts to
more than $4.8 billion for the
Defense Department against
slightly less than $6.5 billion for
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, he point
ed out.
Mr.. Miller noted that the cry
for a bigger military role fol-
lowed the recent Soviet feat of
orbiting two men on successive
days in spacecraft that came
quite close to each other in

PASADENA. Calf. Sept. 6
(AP) The suns gravitational
puil has captured the Venus
bound spacecraft Mariner-2.
But there's no cause for
alarm scientists planned it
that way.
At a point 1.6 million miles
out in space yesterday solar
gravity became strong enough
to overcome the earth's weak
ening pull on the 447-pound
spacecraft.
For the rest OF its uncalcu-
lated lifetime, Mariner-2 will be
a tiny satellite of the sun.
Scientific interest in it will
cease next December IA when
the 12-foot-tan vehicle streaks
past Venus, at a distance of
1000 miles.
Its scientific instruments,
designed to help determine
whether life could exist on the
cloudy planet, will be turned
off after the fly-by and Mar
iner-2 will become another
hunk Of space junk orbiting
the sun.
Although travelling away
from earth at about 5000 miles

sun at 10 times that speed.

of the sun will grow stronger

throughout the world"
The Russian space troubles
were chronicled in a letter to
chairmen of the Senate and
House Space Committees from
James E. Webb, chief of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
The Congress members had
urged Mr.. Webb to release in
formation on Soviet space mis-
adventures, since the Russians
only talk about their successes.
In his letter Mr.. Webb said,
"The Soviet Union has pursued
a vigorous but unsuccessful
program to send Instrumental
space probes to the planets.
Six Attempts Made
"Thus far two attempts have
been made to send spacecraft
to Mars and four to Venus;
of these six attempts, only one
probe was successfully launched
on an interplanetary path, the
Venus probe of February IL,
1861.
However, it was only q
qualified success because it:

several days, long before i

added. Their case would be

The Space Committee chair
man took note of points raised
by Senator Cannon in a speech
August 20 demanding a larger
Air Force space role. He said
that work filling the NevadanS

by NASA and that results are

The Soviet Union has struck
out in five of six attempts to
send spacecraft to Mars and
Venus-and the sixth turned
into a long foul, United States
space officials report.
Twice within the past two
weeks, they said, the Russians
tried to beat or match Ameri-
cas- launching of Mariner-2

hour toward Venus. Both Soviet
attempts went haywire, the re-
port added.

Russians saw this one misfire,

The only shot that ap-
preached success was a Venus

but its radio failed before Il
even got close to the planet.

Velocity Too Great
Had the launching been sue

probe would have arrived at
Mars or Venus with too great
"a velocity to have orbited either
planet.
The United States has also
tried the parking orbit in a
series of Ranger shots but has
run into trouble each time.
Mr.. Webb said that if the
Russians shot on August rs
had been successful it would
have arrived at Venus about
