In an extended five-day outlook,
the Weather Bureau called for a
continuation of hot weather with
temperatures averaging from two
to six degrees above normal
through most of the week, with
cooler weather in North Texas by
the weekend.
The cool front gave Northern
Texas a very slight breath of re-

Sunday, but the rest of the state
continued to boh.

MOSCOW (UPI) - Russia's two
astronauts chatted back and forth
as their spaceships looped around
the earth today.
"I am Golden Eagle calling Fal-

alerting Andrian Nikolayev.
"Golden Eagle” is Popovich’s
code name; "Falcon is Nikola
yev. ’
“The temperature is 18 degrees
(64.5 Fahrenneit), humidity 65 per
cent. Have you understood me
well?” Popovich asked.
“I am Falcon calling Golden
Eagle,” Nikolayev replied.
"I have understood you. Every
thing is all right with me. The
temperature is 15 degrees (59
Fahrenheit), humidity 65 per cent
Feeling fine. Slept well.”
"Golden Eagle calling. Am in
perfect mood. Slept well. Feeling

• WASHINGTON (UPI) — Three
congressional experts have agreed
that there is no need to re-

because of Russia’s twin or bital

instead, they feel that the U. S.
program is moving ahead and
will move even faster when more
powerful booster rockets are de-

The legislators — Sens. Warre
G. Magnuson, D-Wash., and Pes-
sard L. Holland, D-Fia., and Rep.
• Olin E. Teague. DTex. — did not
appear dismayed Sunday that the
United States might be behind in
the* race.
"We have some very solid,
feasible technical plans in the
same field as the Russians have,”
Magnuson said. “The fat that
one is ahead of the other doesn't
necessarily mean anything.”
Magnuson and Holland are
members of the Senate Space
Committee. Magnuson's subcom-
. mittee approved a $3.7 billion
space budget on Saturday.
Teague, a member of the House
Space Committee, said, "our
space program is on solid
ground.”
Holland saw the Soviet feat os
a new challenge to the United
States. He said it was a-.step
leading up to an effort to rendez-
vous two capsules in space, a
technique the United States also
plans to attempt.
Teague said the Soviet Un-
ion had chalked up more spectac-
ular space shots but that the

portant technical feats.
