The man who soon will start
planning the Washington areas
mass transportation system said
yesterday he is not going over
board on highways.
What worries him, he said,
is that too many highways will
act as a series of Chinese
walls" chopping up the city.
c. Darwin Stolzenbach,
named by President Kennedy
on Friday to be administrator
of the National Capital Trans
portation Agency, emphasizes
that he is not against high
ways. He believes the current
planning for highway construc-
ton is good.
Cites Los Angeles
On the other hand, he said.
he doesn't want to see an over
emphasis on expressways as in
Los Angeles, where freeways
abound and still the cars move
bumper to bumper"
Mr.. Stolzenbach, 46-year-old
research analyst whose active
civic interests have taken him
deeply into the regional trans
portation issue, believes the
mass transportation survey re-
port put too much stress on
highways and not enough on
rapid transit.
That report, issued in 1859
and preceding legislation estab-
fishing the new transportation
agency, called for 800 miles of
highways to cost $1.8 billion
and four rail transit lines to
cover 80 miles and cost $458.5
million. The system also called
for express bus lines to operate
along median strips Of the free
ways.
Stresses Report
The mass transportation re-
port, Mr.. Stolzenbach said, will
remain as the framework for
the agency's studies. But, he
added, he does not feel that it
was intended ito be a fully de-
tailed blueprint"
He declared that the function
Of the National Capital Trans
portation Agency is to serve as
"the voice of those who favor
mass transit as a means of fun
neling off the heavy traffic
loads that are burdening the
highways.
Until the establishment o1
the agency, he said, those who
favor something other thar
more highways as the answer
were not represented on the
planning level.
This, Mr.. Stolzenbach feels
is why Congress put a five.
year freeze on major highway
construction in the Northwest
section of the city. The freeze
halted highway planners unit
the agency could examine
alternative mass transit facil.
tiles instead of additional free.
ways.
Although highways need tx
be part of the overall trans.
portation system, he said, there
are dangers in relying toC
heavily on them.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Mar. 3 (AP).-A Blue Scout
rocket successfully propelled a
package of instruments about
1880 miles into space today to
study radiations which pose a
threat to manned space travel.
Included in the payload were
radio telescopes tand a simu-
lated piece of human skin.
The sleek, 75-foot rocket
raced away from this spaceport
at 1902 am. (EST). Its four
solid-fuel engines fired in rapid
succession and shot the l72-
pound payload to dts planned
altitude. ~,

back a stream of information
until it plunged to a fiery death

intended about 40 minutes af-

the Atlantic about 1870 miles
southeast of the Cape.

Venus Probe
Falls Silent,
May Fail

MOSCOW, Mar. 8 (AP).-
Soviet scientists were trying
today to restore radio contact
with their Venus bound rocket,
which Tass says has been
speeding along in silence since
early this week.
The Soviet news agency re-
ported that radio contact with
the automatic interplanetary
station could not be made last
Monday, Is days after it had
been launched from a space
vehicle orbiting the earth.
In Britain, the director o1
the Jodrell Bank radio observa-
tory said it would be extremely
regrettable" if the Venus rocket
probe has failed entirely.
Prof. Sir Bernard Lowell sale
upon learning that the Russian.
had lost contact: Il hope it il
not final, but one cannot bt

Prof. Lowell said he hac
suspicious that something hac
gone wrong because Jodrel
Banks huge radio telescope hac
also been unable to pick up thu
rockets radio signals. The Rus
slams had given Prof. Lowell in
formation on the predicted po'
sition of the rocket so Jodrel
Bank could get line on it.
The rockets radio was to b,
switched on and off by radio
signals from earth every fiv'

University News

The University of Delaware ex-
poets to have another five-unit
dormitory and dining hall avail
able for occupancy in September
1868, to meet the needs of its rapid
ly growing student body.
Announcement of plans to ac-
commodate an additional $50 resi-
dent students was made today fol-
lowing the Semi-annual meeting OF
the university's board of trustees
To finance construction of the
new dormitory and dining hall,
which will be comparable to the
recently completed Harrington
Hall complex, the university has
applied to the Housing and Home
Finance Agency for loan assis-
tance in the amount of $2,520,000.
President John A. Perkins ex-
planned that the university is util-
izing this method of enlarging it's
dormitOry accommodations on a
self-liquidating basis to keep to a
minimum requests to the state for
additional capital appropriations
or further drain the all-tOo-limited
educational funds available.
Total cost of the new building
and its furnishings is estimated at
$3,200,000. 1t will be located on
the East Campus adjacent to Col
burn Hall and approximately op-
pOsite Harrington Hall.
Several fee changes were auth
Orized by the trustees affecting
room and board for all university
students and room rentals for out
of-state students to help self
finance the new structure.
Effective in 1962-63, room and
board fees will be increased from
500 to $3.50 per year. The board
also authorized an additional room
charge of $50 per year for out-of-
state students.
Other fee changes, all compara-
lively minor, include a non-refund-
able application fee of $5 for each
applicant for admission and each
formal application. The president
of the university also was auth
OriZed to determine an appropriate
Orientation fee which each year
will be charged to freshmen and
transfer students. This fee, cover
ing the cost of the September pre-
school OrientatiOn program, may
vary slightly from year to year in
accordance with the length of the
OrientatiOn period and the nature
of the offerings.
Each student who graduates
from the university or attends for
two or more years and transfers
to another institution may receive
one free copy of his transcript up
on request within three months of
his graduation or transfer Be
cause of the increased demand for
transcripts and the time and ex-
penSe involved in their prepara-
ton, the university will subse-
quently charge one dollar per copy
for each additional transcript
