Before dawn Saturday, this nation's most powerful operational space booster, an Atlas-Agena is scheduled to blaze skyward to start a 446-pound gold and silver plated space messenger on a 140-day trip to the cloud-shrouded planet.

If all goes right. Mariner I will sweep within 10,000 miles of Venus' sunlit side on Dec. 8. In a brief 30-minute pass, sensitive instruments will reach their electronic fingers into the planet's heavy cloud mantle and relay what they find to earth in a series of blips and beeps. Scientists will be able to translate these radio signals into concrete information about some of the secrets masked by Venus' cloud layers.

The signals may reveal whether Venus has a magnetic field, whether it has a Van Allen type radiation belt, the range of temperatures on the surface and the I ieRer Dy ma11- "ave.the state and nation, there were accurate lniormation on ine voie, and denied that any misinforma- tion has been circulated by the office to pet aDnroval of the Dro- ject.
