Exactly how high the rocket went in its record-setting lesp away from the earth last Monday has not yet been calculated.

Col. Eugene C-Lavier, who directed the rocket firing Mon day at Eniwetok atoll, said the rocket could have exceeded the mark, but he still Isn't sure. He told a news conference that scientists still are completing their exhaustive study of data collected from the rocket by radio.

Closes Rural Council Albany's city council last night rejected an appeal for a time ex tension to the contractor in the city's 1957 street improvement program. Meeting in special session with Stanton W. Payne, who won the bid for paving the streets, the council decided Payne's request was not justified, and granted no extension from the Oct 11 contract deadline. Payne is now subject to a $25 penalty for each work day until the project la completed. The contractor Wednesday night requested a 60-day exten sion to finish the street work.

He was already working almost two weeks past the deadline. He said delays occurred when other contractors he worked with failed to finish their work, and also because there was more to the job than was originally anticipated. City Engineer Dan Lee recom mended that the extension be de nied the contractor. He said al lowances for contingencies were provided in the contract, and that Payne should have allowed for1 them in his bid. No Reason' "All of his reasons for delay should have been considered when he prepare his bid.

There was no reason given that would have justified an extension of time," said City Manager William Bollman. Bollman said the council discussed the request with Payne before reaching their decision. He said Payne pointed to one street where four blocks were to be paved andsaid a delay caused by the city engineering department slowed work. "However, at this particular time there were any number of streets he. could have worked on," Bollman said.
