Russia is planning to launch MORE rockets to Venas I Dr. Alexander Markov, writing in1 the Soviet newspaper Komsomol Skaya today, says: "The three-quarter-ton laborato ry now speeding toward Venus ushers in an era of interplanetary flights. There is no doubt that . after this first rocket others car- rying automatic instruments will be sent to Venus. They will trans mit back to the earth information about the atmosphere of Venus, the composition of its surface, its flora and fauna, if flora and fauna (meaning plants and animals! ex ist on this mysterious planet." Alexander Newsmenov, pres ident of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, says in a Pravda inter view: "The day is drawing near when man will EXPLORE and DEVELOP planets." Weird? Wild and woolly? Certainly. But so was Colum bus' project to sail westward into the unknown seas in an effort to find a short and simple and rel-j atively inexpensive route to the wealth of the Indies. Everything considered includ ing man's vastly increased KNOWLEDGE it is at least argu able that the idea of space ex ploration is no more fantastic in these days than was Columbus' idea of sailing around the world nearly five centuries ago. Note: Columbus wasn't trying to prove that the world is round, as so often is said. Back in the 15th century educated people KNEW the world was round. Columbus was an educated man self-educated, but still WELL educated for his day and he knew the world w as round. His men trust ed his knowledge. But, alter all. they were going farther out of eight of land than man had everj pone before and that took cour- Probably as much courage as space travel takes now. Searching question: Will Russia LEAD THE WORLD m this business of space explora tionas she seems to be doing so far? H so, WHY? We once led the world in scien tific and mechanical progress. Could it be that we are slipping ever so slightly, but still slip pingaway from that position we once held? Could it be that we are becom-l )ng so intrigued with the idea rn fo, i L..j..,.. Nail ?

Goldberg, !carl Elliott, D-Ala House Rules Committee has been engaged in a Capitol Hill version of the game of musical chairs. Capitol workmen would like to see the game end. It started last week when Chair man Howard W. Smith, D-Va., said, presumably with tongue in check, that he didn't plan lo order three more black leather swivel armchairs for the Ihree newest members of his committee. Smith said he didn't expect the three to be around very long.

One of the newcomers is Hep to huy him a chair. The drive was more than suc cessful. Elliott's chair was deliv ered Monday to the rules com mittee room. It is a brown leather swivel chair with curled headrest and it is bigger than those of other committee members. It also is bigger than Smith's. Smith ordered the chair locked up in his private office and re fused to allow it to be photo graphed. Instead, he called the custodian and asked tor Ihree chairs like the J2 old ones. Soon, Capitol workmen wheeled in three swivel chairs and ar ranged them in place. Smith said they wouldn't do.
