Minneapolis Tribune polled 600 Minnesotans on whether US. or U.S.S.R. led in space exploration. 79% believed US. was ahead; 11% gave lead to U.S.S.R. June 1965 poll had indicated that 59% thought US. led, while 24% considered U.S.S.R. in front. Increased confidence in U.S. position was attributed to success of GEMINI VII-VI rendezvous Dec. 15, 1965. 68% thought men could reach the moon and return safely, 56% believed US. would be first to do it, and 25% considered trip impossible. ‘‘(Minn.
