I PI 1111 The time and cost overruns on the Baltimore outer harbor crossing have already surpassed the massive overruns on the just-completed parallel Bay Bridge, and overrun-prone major construction on the harbor project is just beginning. The Mandel administration has allowed the harbor project, originally scheduled to open for traffic more than a year ago, to fall 44 months behind schedule. Public is loser The cost of the crossing between Hawkins and Sollers points to complete the Beltway loop has soared $33 million over the 1968 estimates and most of that overrun is officially attributed to inflation while the project was allowed to lag. The motoring public, denied promised relief from Harbor Tunnel traffic jams until De cember, 1975, at the earliest, I and now stuck with eventually 'paying millions more in tolls, been the loser.

There have been some winners, foremost among them two politically well-connected engineering firms. One, J. E. Greiner Company, long the kingfish of state consultants, has seen its fees increase dramatically al though its estimates on the cost of the harbor project were almost immediately proved faulty and the firm failed from the beginning to keep the proj- ect on schedule. The other, Zollman Asso- dates, owned bv some of the Governor's closest political and personal friends, has enjoyed a bonanza of contracts on the crossing under the Mandel administration that have allowed it to leap from relative obscurity into the forefront of engineers able to get lucrative patronage state engineering contracts.

But while the patronage through engineering contracts has turned out to be spectacular even for such a costly project, it is the inadequacy of 'ruled in favor of a suit tnat ine oommng rains oe on- clared unconstitutional on the grounds that Congress had not declared war on Cambodia.

Like the parallel bridge, the outer harbor project was au thorized under the Republican administration of former Gov. Spiro T. Agnew.

And like the parallel bridge, all construction has been performed during the Democratic Mandel administration. But while thousands of citizens challenged the need for a parallel Bay Bridge, almost no one fought the concept of a harbor is under construction, of a highway approach from telescope while experts studied the problem on the ground.

By MATTHEW J. SEIDEN Sun Staff Correspondent Phnom Penh, Cambodia Despite a series of emergency defense measures introduced last week, the Cambodian government is still steadily losing ground in the battle for the capital. At the edge of Phnom Penh, thousands of refugees are fleeing in and out of the city-no longer sure that the capital will be safer than the countryside. Fall "any day" Military analysts at Western embassies say the city could fall "any day now." The United States Embassy already has detailed plans for evacuating American citizens. Meanwhile, the emergency military measures including GOVERNOR MANDEL allowed project to lag second crossing of Baltimore harbor, The harbor crossing project has lain almost dormant in relative obscurity.

The only legislative attention it has received was in 1971 when the Mandel administration pushed through an amendment to the 1968 toll bond issue bill allowing a switch from the originally planned tunnel to a bridge as the means to cross the Patapsco shipping channel. That push to switch came after bids on a tunnel came in far over estimates, threatening the project with cancellation and perhaps imperiling the whole bond issue. And those high tunnel bids See HARBOR, A8, Col. 1 Sunoapers Dhoto William LaForce, Jr. if only in the beginnings Fort Armistead.

As a precaution, however, launch crews at Cape Kennedy continued to work around the clock to prepare a rocket and spacecraft for use in a possible rescue mission.
