Behind CAPE CANAVERAL, Fila. (AP) -- Underlying President Kennedy's dramatic proposal for a joint U.S.-Soviet modn ex-lhaq pedition may be a feeling that perhaps the United States going it alone cannot beat the Rus- sians to the lunar surface. The suggestion, made before the United Nations Friday, comes at a time when the slip is showing noticeably on U.S. plans for manned and wn. manned exploration of the moon. Public enthusiasm for the project apparently is waning, costs are spiralling and the U.S. Congress no longer is rubber achievement of orbiting first man. They noted Russia a tremendous lead with superior rocket power. Scientists of the National Aeronautics and Space Admin- istration rallied to Kennedy's cause, They said a manned landing on the moon is possible with present technology and talked hopefully of putting astro- nauts there as early as 1967. Congress provided without ques- tion the millions of dollars needed to get the program started. It was estimated the total ef- stamping space. agency mney requests. Some officials who are doing the spade work at Cape Canav- eral for the lunar landing effort expressed surprise at the presi- dent's proposal. They a that a combined U.S.-Russian effort would help world _ten- sions, but they were. disap- .pointed at the indication Ken- nedy is ready to abandon the great national goal of being first on the moon. NATIONAL ENTHUSIASM When Kennedy declared the United States in the race in May, 1961, with a target of land- ing astronauts on the moon be- fore 1970, there was general national enthusiasm, A _ few fort would cost less than $20, 000,000,000. Now, two years later, estimates run as high as $40,000,000,000. In 1961, the agency concentrated on early manned flights in Project Mer- cury and on developing un- manned space craft to investi- gate the lunar surface for proper landing areas and pos- sible dangers. Mercury, which sent six men into space, was climaxed suc- cessfully last May with astro- caaut Gordon Cooper's 22-orbit mission, But the follow-on Proj- ect Gemini, designed to perfect space rendezvous techniques vi- tal to the Apollo. man-on-the- moon program, has slipped more than a year because of technical troubles.

"It is wrong," Mr, Robarts said, "It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the people of the province, It simply is not true." SEES CLASH Premier Robarts said the te- cent Liberal statement is the di- rect opposite of one made by Mr. Wintermeyer in the legisla- ture last February when the pre- mier brought in a statement on the Ontario foundation tax plan which, among other things, ad- justs the fiancing as between separate and public schools. He quoted Mr, Wintermeyer TORONTO (CP)--Lands and Forests Minister Kelso Roberts uncorked a bitter attack Friday on Ontario Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer, claiming there were at least 10 deliberate lies in a recent speech by the Lib- eral chief in the Ontario election campaign, He drew what apparently was a comparison between Mr, Win- termeyer and Nazi Leader Adoif Hitler in one of the bitterest speeches by a Progressiev Con- servative candidate in the cam- paign for the Sept. 25 provincial election. A speech on crime in Ontario that Mr. Wintermeyer made in Orillia Sept. 4 was the target of Mr. Roberts' attack, In it Mr. Wintermeyer said the Liberal party does not accept the find- ings of the royal commission on crime carried out by Mr. Jus- tice W. D. Roach. He claimed Wintermeyer Like Hitler--Roberts it scarcely touched the subject of organized crime. Mr, Robarts, a former attor- ney - general and Progressive Conservative candidate in Tor- onto St. Patnick riding, said Mr, Wintermeyer's Orillia speech was a reassertion of "his scan- dal, his gossip and his cal- umny" in an effort to discredit the commission, its findings and the commissoner, He said he hed returned to the topic "like a dog to its vomit," ARE 'BIG LIES' In the apparent reference to Hitler, Mr. Roberts said: "You don't have to go very far back in history to recall an individual who sought for al- mos* a generation to establish a belief that lies, if big enough and told often enough, will con- vince a segment of the people subjected to them that they are , Taxi Driver Gets 5 Years Manslaughter LONDON, Ont. (CP)--Former taxi driver Lloyd McFadden, 28, convicted last week of man- slaughter in the bludgeoning of an Indan from the Oneida Re- serve, Friday was sentenced to five years in penitentiary. McFadden originally was charged with capital murder after the burned body of Henry Doxtator, 54, was found in a shallow ditch in Westminster Township April 4. McFadden testified that Dox- tator attacked him while they were driving to the reserve April 3, and he struck Doxtator on the head with a hammer-like tool. McFadden gaid he be- the ditch, covered it with paper, doused it with gasoline, and then set it alight. capital murder Sept. 12, but con- victed him on the lesser charge, great heights on each of the U.S. man-im-space shots. But in be- tween interest in the space pro- gram has waned--and with an- other astronaut flight more than a year away, it will drop even lower. Many men on the street have questioned the tremendo uscost. The attitude is reflected in Congress, where this year for the first time the space agency budget request was chopped considerably, including a big lieved he abandoned the body in| An Ontario Supreme Court | } jury acquitted McFadden' of}; true, "The 'fate of that particular gentleman after the horrors which he participated in and which all humanity was called upon to share might well be re- viewed by the leader of the Op- position." Mr. Roberts said that as he read what be described as de- liberate falsehoods and attempté to discredit, he concluded that Mr, Wintermeyer, "in his mad dash for power, was prepared to adopt the same tactics." Speaking to a meeting of the John White Legal Society,Mr, Robertssaid the Liberal lead- er's allegations about the crime commission were: 'foul accusa- tions" against those who at the end of the hearing "happened to have been on the side of the facts and out of step with his thinking,' as at that time commending the government and saying the con- cept of the foundation program was not maternally at variance with Liberal policy. "Mr, Wintermeyer, as usual, has completely reversed himself in this advertisement,"' the pre- mier said, Mr, Robarts spoke to about 350 people in the auditorium of a secondary school, It was a joint rally for Progressive Conserva- tive candidates in the five rid- ings in and around Hamilton, The premier said Mr, Winter- meyer was "trying to make a political issue of education and if there is one thing that should not be a political issue it is the education of our children." CITES EFFECTS Dealing with the foundation tax plan for education, Mr, Ro- barts said it would have these effects: 1, Provide complete equality of educational opportunity re- gardless of creed. 2, Take no right nor any taxes away from any separate or public school board or sup- porter. 3, It would not interfere with the authority of local schoo! boards, 4, Without interfering with the constitutional rights of any school supporter, either separ- ate or public, it would cém- pletely remove complaints that separate school supporters have had regarding atheir share of company taxation and inequities concerning their municipal as- sessment and taxation. Mr. Robarts, taking up his running battle with the Liber- als over old age pensions, threw an indirect jibe at them for prodding him to join the Canada Pension Plan immediately while not objecting to the Liberal Que- bec government's abstention from the program. MENTIONS QUEBEC In his first reference during the campaign to Quebec's atti- tude, Mr. Robarts said: 'This seems to be all right with cer- tain people in this province, so it is something I'd like to take a look at." The premier reiterated his stand that it would be "prudent and wise to look into it before jumping" into the national plan. "Let's not accept something for political reasons today until we know that it is sound and right for our people." Mr. Robarts said he still wanted answers to certain ques- tions regarding Ontario's 'partic. ipation in"the scheme, He was certain matters would be worked out eventually but not before election day. Small Dollar bee ee Se Vidi LUWeis | Canada Deficit OTTAWA (CP) -- Increased] merchandise exports, combined with a smaller dollar drain on tourist travel, have helped re- duce Canada's international bal- ance - of - payments deficit on current transactions to $193,000,-' 000 in the second quarter of this year, The Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics reported Friday that more than two-thirds of the re- duction from the $362,000,000 def- icit a year earlier was brought about by a switch from deficit to surplus in merchandise trade, The report underlined the continuing reduction that has taken place recently in Can- ada's current payments deficit. This deficit covers both mer- chandise trade and so-called "invisibles"--payments on such dends, international travel, and freight costs. The deficit in the first half of this year has been reduced to $439,000,000 from $695,000,000 in first-half 1062. The deficit from the whole of 1962 was $848,000,- 000--compared with the peak of: $1,504,000,000 in 1959--and the deficit in the 12 months to the end of June was $592,000,000.

Half of this improvement was attributed to a reduced deficit on international travel pay; ments, Expenditures by Canadi- ans abroad declined to $158,000,- 000 during the quarter from $178,000,000 a year earlier. Spending by foreign tourists here rose to $132,000,000 from $126,000,000. The travel deficit was reduced to $26,000,000 from $52,000,000. The report attributed this im- provement to last year's deval- uation of the Canadian dollar and to the restrictions in the al- lowance on duty-free purchases by Canadian tourists that were imposed during last year's for- TORONTO (CP)--The Orange Association in Ontario has dis- tributed 175,000 pamphlets in re- cent weeks criticizing the finan- cial features of the Ontario foundation tax plan, announced last spring by Premier John Ro- barts, it was learned Friday. The pamphlets were distrib- uted fo we the Public School De- fence Committee, a third-party organization headed by R. Hardy Small, former Progres- sive Conservative member of Parliament for Toronto .Dan- forth and a past grand master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Canada, Mr. Small said Friday the pamphiet's main purpose is to attract support for the Orange- men's demand for a plebiscite on concessions in the foundation plan to Roman Catholic separ- ate schools. It asks 'the reader: "Where does your cadidate stand on this vital issue?" Mr. Small said that eign exchange crisis, equaliza tion grants under the Ontario Orangemen Lobby Against Tax Plan government's foundation plan would mean an estimated eddi- tioal $50,000,000 for separate schools next year. The money, he said, would come mainiy from the 85 per cent of Ontario taxpayers who are not separate school supporters, BASED ON GRANTS wv 40 ot to bonis of rants peal made on 0 to elementary echoes by the government last year, The pamphlet claimed that in 1960, government grants to sep- arate schools amounted to 150 per cent of their local tax levy.
