BY WILLIAM HINES

The Army's top technical ex-
pert on ballistic missiles called
yesterday for creation Of an
independent agency TO push
American efforts TO dominate
outer space.
DR.. Wernher Won Braun told
the Senate Preparedness Sub
committee that such an agency
should have iong-term '.firIn"

sion and q substantial annual
budget Of about SIS billion.
He suggested as worthwhile
projects for the agency the
placing Of q ''returnahle" man
in space within i've years and
the establishment Of q manned
space station within q decade.

DR.. Won Braun. technical d.

funds to back them up. The

mittee:

duce the Jupiter intermediate

funds that had been marked
for other purposes.
