Fo Try oasgre By RALPH DIGHTON PASADENA, Calif. (AP)--The Russians have tried four times and failed. Now the United pg is going to have a go at The project, called Surveyor, is to put a television camera on the moon. The newest target date for the first of seven shots is next May and the difficulties are so great that officials won't even. quote odds on success or failure. The first shot, in fact, will not even be to soft-iand a camera on the moon, or to take pictures, as the Russians apparently have tried to do. It will be merely to test manoeuvres in space that would put the rocket in the right direction to hit the moon. "There are a great many un- knowns," says Robert J. Parks, Surveyor project manager at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. SPANS GAP Surveyor, a skeletonized pyra- mid 10 feet high with three legs to absorb shock, is designed to span the technical gap between the «picture - taking Rangers, which crash-landed on the méon, and the Apollo craft expected to take man to the moon by 1970. Its main, jobs: 1, Perfect the technique of landing on the moon gently enough for delicate instruments --and, later, man himself--to survive. 2. Relay the best closeups yet of the texture of the lunar surface, showing whether it is| rocky, dusty, spongy lava or| something else. Ranger photos, | taken in the final minutes be- fore impact earlier this year,| were snapped at heights rang-| ing from 1,500 miles down to! 1 1,500 feet. The best showed no details smaiier than --craicrs two to three feet across. Sur- veyors are to soft-land and then scan the lunar surface with a clarity comparable to that of the human eye. 3. Once the landing and tele- vision systems have been proved, later Surveyors are to carry claws to scoop up and analyse the soil in several areas, to determine which would be the safest for land- ing manned craft weighing many tons. Rangers crashed at 6,000 miles| an hour. The Surveyors' speed is to be slowed by a downward-fir- ing, solid-fuel rocket. Ignited 60 miles above the lunar surface, the rocket should brake the des- cent so the Surveyor hits the moon at about seven miles an| hour. | BRAKING IS PROBLEM One of the biggest problems in| : making a soft landing, Parks said, arises from the fact that the braking system can tested only in space. There is no} vacuum. chamber. large enough to stimulate a-descent on the airless moon. "We can calculate and figure jindefinitely, but we still can't tell exactly what will happen un- til the spacecraft gets there." Another unknown is the slope of the surface at the point where the Surveyor lands, If it is greater than 15 degrees, the Surveyor probably would topple over, damaging its instruments. | 2% The spacecraft won't be able jto hover and search for a nice- | flat landing spot.

Canadian Motor Industries Ltd. came on the scene a year ago as a private company to sell and, eventually, to assem- ble Japanese cars in Canada. Since then things haven't gone exactly as planned. When it was first formed, the company was billed as the only car producer in Canada not tied to a parent outside the country; officials talked of sales of 5,000 to 10,000 cars in the first year; a network of 200 dealers was expected; a 15,000-car-a-year assembly plant was to be built and operating as soon as pos- sible. Last week CMI admitted its first hopes were too elaborate. Faced with financial woes, the company passed control to two Japanese groups, subject to approval of the Japanese gov- ernment.
