Wild Blue Wonder May
 Hold Key To Breakup Of Marriages Due to Tension

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, R-Air Force scientists says successful 30-day simulated trip into the wild blue wonder didn't solve all space travel problems but it plug ged a few holes.
 It might even help marriage counseling, one expert at the School of Aviation Medicine sug- gested.
 Capt. William D. Habluetzel, 36, Ingleside, Tex, and It. John liar greaves, 30, Caste Air Force Base, Calif., emerged Thursday after 30 days 8 hours and 21 minutes in an 8x12 foot pressurized steel tank.
 Hargreaves lost 51a pounds but said he could have gone another 30 days.
 Before leaving the cabin they hung a sign inside saying: Never volunteer, always submit an ap- plication."
 It. Col. Don Finn, chief of the neuropsychiatry branch, said im- portant information was gained in selection of space crews.
 "They are two very special people with their background and training" Finn said, We know now that mature individual with high motivations can toler- ate illustrations more than others"
 Many marriages could take a tip from this in learning to cope with tensions" Finn said.

AVG Officer Says Guard
 Is Ready, Will Give Good Account In Case of Trouble

'"The Alaska National Guard has grown tremendously since it was organized in 1938," said Col. Charles w. Casper, at briefing of 1000 regular army troops at Fort Richardson recently. Col. Casper is AVG Property and Fis- cal Officer.
 ''Not only in manpoWer, but in importance in the defense of the free world. Today, there are AL aska Army National Guard units in 50 locations in this vital state, with scout battalion troops guard ing the western perimeter of the state.
 Combat efficiency of these units is high,' the colonel con- tinued, with all of the men hav- ing prior service or having con- pleted basic training at army training centers."
 "Times have forced us to face the facts of life," Col. Casper con- cluded, there will be no 12 to l8 months for our divisions to train, no time to build camps, draft our youth and give them basic and specialized training. In case of an emergency, either state or national, the Alaska National Guard is ready and will give a good account of itself"

Scions of the elegant aris-

families that John O'Hara
writes about.
O'Hara's, as his readers

"Camelot," may not be the
musical its mother was, but
it has won a critical niche for
itself that is a credit to Alan
j. Lerner, book and lyrics, and
Frederick Loewe, music. Where
it falls short, the New York
critics generally concur, is that
Messrs. Lerner and Loewe this
time did not have a play by
Bernard Shaw to reshape with
such dazzling grace.
In other words, the review
ers agree, there is a consider
able difference in favor Of
Shaw's ''Pygmalion" over T. H.
Whites "The Once and Future
King" the latter the source
Of "Camelot."
IT'S LOGICAL: That this
should be the case is actually
no occasion for surprise or dis
appointment. Nevertheless. the
sad truth about human nature
is that it is always hoping for
pleasant surprise, yet is only
too ready to find and resent
disappointment.
This is precisely what
happened after Rodgers and
Hammerstein followed "Okla-
homa!" with 'L'Allegro" and

Traffic Kaleidoscope

The Kaleidoscope changes which
regional traffic patterns are undergo
ing as the Metropolitan Area grows are
playing havoc with plans once thought
adequate to ease congestion. No better
illustration of this can be had than the
case of the new Theodore Roosevelt
Bridge. Designed to meet traffic needs
for years to come as indicated by nu-
merouS surveys only few years ago,
the structure is being described as too
narrow even before it has been COM
tpleted. The inescapable fact is that ad-
ditional bridges will be needed over the
Potomac River-and sooner than plan
nerS and engineers had expected.
The bridge across Theodore Roose-
welt Island Is to consist of six traffic
lanes-three in each direction. However
Engineer Commissioner Clarke says the
bridge actually should have eight lanes
in order to carry the traffic load which
will develop with the opening Of new
and reconstructed highways in Virginia.
But it is too late now to redesign the
bridge-an undertaking that would re-
quire new action by Congress.
The Theodore Roosevelt Bridges
rated capacity was based on traffic sur
veys made before Virginia had planned
to carry Route 66 through Arlington
to the Potomac. This expressway will
deliver thousands Of automobiles and
trucks to the main approaches of the
new bridge-an. unforeseen burden that
would require at least an eight-lane
span. Besides, Lee Highway is to be
widened and tied into the bridge net
work. The George Washington Memo
rial Parkway and Arlington Boulevard
also are to channel traffic to and from
the new bridge. -sl.
Against this background off rising
traffic demands, 1t is obvious that ad-
ditional Potomac crossings are inevi-
table. The prospect gives new urgency
to plans for bridges at Three Sisters
Island, just above Key BRIDGE, and in
the Chain Bridge area. Under discus
sion have been new or rebuilt Chain
Bridge or another bridge a short dis
tance downstream. Further upstream,
in the Cabin John area, a new bridge
will connect the Maryland and Virginia
Segments Of the Capital Beltway, Just
as the Jones Point bridge at Alexandria
will link the southerly sections of the
beltway. In summary, more Potomac
crossings will have to be provided in
the near future if the metro" concept
is to be fully realized with respect to
the orderly movement Of people and
goods in the Metropolitan Area.
