Russia increases space missions;
United States cuts back programs
By BARRY JAMES
United Press International
The Soviet Union is increasing its manned space
missions at a time of sharp cutbacks in the United States,
but the Kremlin efforts are still overshadowed by
American achievements.
The Soviet Union, which stopped sending men into space
for more than two years after a series of setbacks, has
resumed regular manned orbital missions at a stepped-up
pace.
Commentary
The increased Soviet activity contrasts with U.S. plans
to ground its astronauts until the start of America’s first
space shuttle flights a half-dozen years from now.
The Soviet Union has built up a corps of about 80
cosmonauts to take part in the new missions. But the
United States has cut back its team to little more than 30
astronauts.
Brig. Gen. Thomas Stafford, commander of the U.S.
ship in the current Soyuz-Apollo mission, says “the
Soviets have a vigorous, ongoing manned space effort
planned for the next five or six years.”
Some Western space experts say the Soviet Union has

Rivers, recording secretary.
Rail union
leader
sees strike
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Fed
eral mediators called more
talks today with negotiators for
the nation’s railways and a
117,000-member union which
plans to strike July 28 if no
contract settlement is reached.
Marathon bargaining broke
down Thursday. Management
and union representatives trad
ed bitter remarks and an
earlier atmosphere of optimism
was destroyed.
“There will be a strike,” C.L.
Dennis, president of the 117,000-
member Brotherhood of Rail
way and Airline Clerks, de
clared after a 19-hour
negotiating session.
However, Dennis declined to
call the walkout for Monday,
when the union legally can
strike. Instead he set a new
dealine of July 28.
W.J. Usery Jr., the chief
But the Kremlin is still a distant second at sending men
into space. The United States has put men on the moon
while the Soviets have yet to get a cosmonaut out of earth
orbit.
The Soviet manned space program is still tied to the
same ancient Soyuz rocket that put Yuri Gagarin into
orbit 14 years ago.
Western experts say the capsule —a small sphere with
only enough fuel for a few days flight — can’t reach the
moon. And Stafford says he doubts the Soviets have any
new craft under development.
The Salyut space station, restricted because of the
small payload of the Soyuz rocket, is only one-fifth the size
of America’s orbiting Sky lab capsule.
Two cosmonauts now aboard Salyut 4 have set a Soviet
space endurance record, but they’re still far short of
America’s overall record.
Soviet scientists speak theoretically about manned
flights to Mars, a base on the moon and a giant space
station able to carry crews of up to 100 persons.
But it’s only talk. The sole Soviet spaceship in use can
only give two cramped men a brief whirl around the earth.
It’s not surprising the Kremlin strongly supports the
Soyuz Apollo flight—a mission that makes the Soviets and
Americans look like space equals.
federal mediator, who sche
duled more meetings with both
sides, said, “I still think there
is a very good possibility to
reach an agreement.”
Dennis said railroad opera
tors were “grossly irresponsi
ble,” and expecting “Congress
will bail them out.”
William H. Dempsey, chief
negotiator for the National
Railway Labor Conference, said
“the responsibility for the
threatened railroad strike rests
entirely with BRAC.”
Meanwhile, both sides in the
Postal Service negotiations,
affecting 600,000 employes, said
they were prepared to meet
continuously to avoid any
disruption in mail service when
the workers’ two-year contract
expires at midnight Sunday.

i tract talks have been dragging

S.C. gets tough
on 55 speed limit
COLUMBIA, S.C. (UPI) -
The speed limit signs along
highways in South Carolina
read 55 miles per hour, says
the state Highway Patrol’s
commanding officer, and the
chances of your getting a ticket
for ignoring them have in
creased.
“We’ve been allowing a gray
area of about five miles per
hour for variation in speedo
meters and in case of doubt,”
Col. P. F. Thompson said
Thursday. “But if they run
faster than that its no longer a
gray area, it’s a violation.”
Thompson says the Patrol’s
new radar equipment has been
a tremendous help in enabling
patrolmen to catch speeders.
“It enables the patrolman to
measure speeds while driving
along the highway instead of
having to park in one spot
along a road,” He said.
Thompson said the number of
speeding cases against motor
ists has increased 28 per cent
for the fiscal year 1974-75 which

ended June 30 because of the
new radar system which he
said is being expanded.
He said the driving public,
especially those on the inter
states, apparently needs re
minding every so often about
the 55 mile per hour speed
limit.
“I can see in recent weeks
the speeding has gotten worse
and over the Fourth there was
quite a bit of excessive
speeding during the peak hours
of Friday and Sunday,” He
said.
Thompson said traffic fatali
ties are down in the state
partly due to the lower speed
limit but will only remain so if
drivers obey the law.
“As of midnight June 30,
there had been 62 fewer
fatalities in the state as
compared with the previous
year, but as of midnight July
14, there had been 43 fewer
fatalities.

New comet
PASADENA, Calif. (UPI) — A newly discovered comet
is streaking into view, Caltech announced Thursday.
Hie comet is bright enough to be seen by the unaided
eye and will get brighter as it makes its closest approach
to earth — 242 million miles — next Monday, astronomers
said. It is passing through the constellation Cygnus and
can be seen high in the eastern sky about 8 p.m. and
overhead about midnight.
The comet was discovered last Saturday night by three
astronomers working independently in scattered
locations, the announcement said — Douglas Berger at
the Palomar Observatory in California, Dennis Milton in
Wyoming and Toru Kobayashi in Tokyo.
The comet had only a small tail, but it will become
larger and glow more brightly as the comet approaches
the sun and more icy dust particles are boiled off,
astronomers said.
