One promising candidate for a solar system Is Barnard's Star, the second closest to the sun, which is 5.6 light years or about 33 million million miles away. Some scientists believe the star has a big planet about the size of our own Jupiter circling it. Drake said the riddle of Barnard's Star could be solved observationally with Earth-based telescopes by the end of the century. Space-born telescopes with sophisticated auxiliary instruments might be able to detect Earth-sized planets 1,000 times smaller than Jupiter around other stellar, bodies, he added.

All that is needed Is a reasonable application of effort by an "ensemble of astronomers and Instruments" unexcelled in history, Frank Drake said at the weeklong meeting of the American Association forthe Advancement of Science here. Drake pointed out that new observational equipment including space-borne optical telescopes have made it possible to answer in a few years the first of two questions about the universe that laymen find most fascinating. And, he added, Instruments being designed should help answer the other. The questions are Do other stars, In addition to our sun, have planets? There is some evidence that at least one nearby star has a massive planetary companion, and the likelihood of positively Identifying other solar systems by the end of the century is "very close to 100 per cent," Drake said.

"Second, what it from someplace, somewhere a radio message had been sent? The earth is 4V2 billion years old.

Some solar systems are 10 to 15 billion years old. If we intercept messages from them, they could have been sent not only before Columbus discovered America, or the birth of Christ, but before the earth itself existed. The overwhelming odds are that such civilizations, even if they once existed, are now dead and gone." The project, Proxmire said, gets his "Golden Fleece of the Month" award as the most ironic or ridiculous example of wasteful spending. Proxmire suggested that the project be postponed until the federal budget is balanced and income and Social Security taxes are reduced to zero, or for a few million light-years whichever comes first.

minority in 1990 Booming Washington Hispanic communities point to national trend The Now York Vows News Wyk WASHINGTON In a darkened Washington restaurant, Juan Tituana nudges a clam through a plate of paella. "Wouldn't you like some of this?" he asks his luncheon companion. The serving is generous a quality that for Tituana is characteristic of life in his adopted country. Eighteen years after leaving Quito, Ecuador, where he was a cobbler, Tituana owns two shoe repair businesses here. His is one success story in this city's rapidly expanding Hispanic community a community that some say will make up this country's largest minority by 1990; As settlement patterns change from traditional areas such as New York, Miami and Los Angeles, Hispanic communities are growing rapidly in such unlikely places as Rockford, and Lancaster, Pa.

And this trend of the past two decades is expected to continue, largely because the 11.2 million Hispanics reported by the Census Bureau in 1976 are youthful and have a relatively high birth rate. Much of the national population shift results from Mexican-American migrant workers moving up from Texas to establish themselves In towns and cities of the North. But Washington's Hispanic community, barely 20 years old, is composed predominantly of people from the Caribbean, Central and South America.

ure is 8 million. Like Tituana, who is now a U.S. citizen, they are lured by dreams of jobs and a better life. For him the dream came true. The day after his arrival here, a friend got him a job as a busboy in a restaurant.

Three months later, he got another job in a shoe repair shop. By saving most of the money from the two jobs, he was able to bring his wife and family to the city and rent a building where he started his own shoe repair business. The family lived in rooms over the shop. The family now lives in a house in the suburb of Wheaton, and Tituana owns two shops where he. employs others, often Ecuadorians who are friends of friends.

But the extended family network that Tituana operates the lifeline to adjustment for many Hispanics is strained by increases in the city's and the nation's Hispanic pop. ulation. Hispanic embassies here offer lit. tie assistance to former nationals. "The embassies' work In that area is almost nil," said one Hispanic diplomat.

"Foreign service careers in many countries are still in gestation, and you don't get a mentality of public service. Then, too, the immigrants often are the underprivileged in their own country. They view the embassies as the status quo of their country, 'so they don't come to them for help. "Aside from keeping lists of the newly arrived, if immigrants let us know they're here, not much is done," he said. "It's a matter of priorities." Over the past 10 years, to meet the needs of the capital's swelling Hispanic population, more than a dozen Hispanic organizations have been formed.

In 1970, a Spanish AN fairs Office to was created todeal with the growing concerns of the city's Hispanic community. Still, there are rising problems of family disintegration, alcoholism, child and wife abuse, drugs and unemployment that affect this and other new Hispanic communities. These problems suggest that the strain of adjustment is increasing. Gilbert Pompa, acting director of the Justice Department's Communi- ty Relations Service, said the prob. lems are likely to increase because Hispanic expansion is not perceived.

"There's a natural assumption that Hispanics will blend into the society like past immigrant groups," said Pompa, whose agency handles community racial relations. "But it's just not happening," he said. Bilingual programs are lacking and "Inclusion in the decision-making process just isn't occurring." A growing number of local and national organizations here are pressing for Hispanic involvement so that newer Immigrants can say about the United States what Tituana said: "This country gave me everything.

Maryland and Virginia is swelling because Cubans are leaving Dade County to settle there, according to Ana Maria Perera, president of the Washington-based National Association of Cuban-American Women.
