Preliminary "pathfinder" flights could delay U.S.S.R.'s first manned lunar and planetary flights, according to Soviet scientist Vasili Parin in Sovetskaya Rossiya. "Experiments with animals," preceding interplanetary flight, he said, "will take many months and perhaps many years." (UPI, NYT, 5/4/68, 66)
Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) told 33rd American Assembly in Harriman, N.Y., "The proportion of government expenditures in oceanology must be brought much closer to our outer space program." Increased Federal investment in oceanology was justified by promise of economic returns, he said. Material benefits from space program were more remote. (Text; W Post, 5/5/68, A25)
