Central Official Doubts It Will Turbo train Make Money? Catbirds Adopt A Family psjjf tvmm'vstfmi inn "ma ml mi' and been "pushed into a lot of corners" on long-haul passenger runs. He conceded that promoting the turbotrain service, through steps like those the Pennsy has said it will take for its own New York-Washington speed service, would have a desirable effect here. But the bankrupt New Haven is unable to spend money on such promotion or for special training of railroad personnel. And because the merger is not a fact yet, Minor said his own company plans no special steps to help assure success of the turbotrains.

Minor asserted the Central is not "prejudiced against the success" of the turbotrain, "but I am not too craft with a financial assist from the U. S. Department of Transportation, was due to have begun speed runs over the New Haven Railroad's main line tracks on July 1. The start of service is now tentatively set for October. Minor, asked if a "far more substantial effort" than the limited, turbotrain trials could be anticipated after the Pennsylvania Central combine absorbs the New Haven, replied: "I don't share the optimism of many in the industry as to the results of these experiments.

I am bearish on the prospects of passenger traffic." The Central official denied that his road has "given up" on passengers altogether, citing its heavy commuter traffic in the New York city area. But, he added, his railroad has lost much money Feeding them berries, hamburg, and dogfood on the advice of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-Mrs. Robert Mozzi and her daughter Jennifer, 7, won the hearts of four new feathered members of the family. A catbird abandoned her puffy babies to foster parents after recuperating in the Mozzi home from bouncing off a plate-glass window. The Mozzis, who live at 70 Oak Hill in Arlington, report that they feed the hungry birds every half hour.

S. PLOTKIN Globe Transportation Editor A top official of the New York Central Railroad said Friday he doubts the 100 m.p.h. turbotrain experiment between Boston and New York will prove to be an economic success. i The candor of Robert W. Minor, vice president, executive department of the Central, surprised many of the 150 persons attending a panel discussion on New England's passenger transportation needs.

Even as Minor spoke, the first of the two low-slung aluminum speedsters scheduled to start the government-sponsored tests in October arrived for tests in Providence after a slow trip from Chicago. The unusual train, being developed by United Air Anthony England, At 25, Youngest Geologist Anthony W. England, 25, is the nation's youngest astronaut. A native of Indianapolis, he grew up in West Fargo, N.D., and graduated at the head of his class at West Fargo High School in three years. He entered M.I.T.

in 1959 and received his S.B. and S.M. degrees in geology and geophysics simultaneously six years later. His master's thesis, was published in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. He will receive his Ph.D.

from M.I.T. just before reporting to Houston for astronaut training in September. England has been a National Science Foundation Fellow for three consecutive years and has already helped the National Aeronautics and Space Administration design experiments to be performed on the first materials brought back from the moon. He is also a member of the American Geophysical Union the Society of Exploration Geophysics, the American Geological Institute, the American Assn. for the Advancement of Science and the Society of Sigma Xi.

He is married to the former Kathleen Ann Kreutz of Fargo and lives at 69 Summer Watertown. William B. Lenoir, Systems Expert Dr. William B. Lenoir, 28, is an assistant professor of electrical engineering at M.I.T.

and an expert in systems for measuring the earth's atmosphere. He was born in Miami, and graduated from Coral Gables High School in 1957 and from M.I.T. in 1962, receiving both an S.B. and an S.M. in electrical engineering while working at General Radio in West Concord under a cooprative training program.

While earning his Ph.D. which he was awarded in 1962, Lenoir received an award for excellence in teaching undergraduate courses. He has done extensive research in the application of radio astronomy to the measurement of the earth's atmosphere, a technique equally applicable to the atmospheres of other planets, and he has also worked to perfect a reliable long-range (14 day) weather prediction system. He lives with his wife, the former Elizabeth Frost of Brookline, and his 2-year-old son at 135 Magazine Cambridge. Four from Tech Named Earlier There are four astronauts, in addition to those selected Friday, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology connections.

They are: Russell L. Schweickart, 32, named in 1963. He received his S.B. degree in aeronautical engineering in 1956 and an S.M. degree in aeronautics and astronautics in 1963 and was a staff member at the Experimental Astronomy Laboratory.

Philip K. Chapman, From Down Under Physicist Philip Chapman, 32, is one of three foreign-born astronauts in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration program. Born in Melbourne, Australia, he attended Parra-matta High School and graduated as valedictorian in 1952. He was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship to study science at Sydney University, and graduated in 1956. After serving in the Australian Air Force, he joined a research expedition and spent 15 months at a remote station in Antarctica.

Chapman came to the United States to study under M.I.T. Prof. Charles Stark Draper in 1959, and has helped design advanced stabilization and control systems for astronomical observations above the earth's atmosphere. He was naturalized in May, 1967. He lives with his wife and 6-year-old son at 24-1 Garden Circle, Waltham.

He once held a private pilot's license but has had no other flight training. Brian T. O'Leary; He's a Physicist Dr. Brian T. O'Leary, 27, formerly of Belmont, is a physicist and a specialist in astronomy.

He was born in Belmont and attended Belmont High School, where he was a member of one of its championship basketball teams. Several years ago he ran in the Boston Marathon, didn't win but did finish. A 1961 graduate of Williams College, he studied astronomy at Georgetown University in Washington and spent his college Summers working at the God-dard Space Center. "From the time he was 10 years old, he wanted to go to the moon, and he was serious about it," O'Leary's father, Frederick O'Leary, formerly of Boston, said Friday. The elder O'Leary now makes his home in Jacksonville, Fla.

O'Leary had a double celebration Friday. In addition to being named to the astronaut team, he was given a PhD degree at the University of California at Berkeley. His wife, the former Joyce Whitehead of Kennet Square, holds an M.A. degree in social work. RUG CLEANERS INC, 20-30 FRANKLIN ST, ALLST0N, MASS.

Chapman and Lenoir brought to seven the number of astronauts who are alumni, former professors or staff members at M.I.T.

The latest M.I.T. men named to the nation's space team disclosed during a press conference on the campus Friday night that they hoped to pursue their particular fields through the space program. England, describing himself as "tickled" by the selection, conceded that at 25 he did not possess the maturity of the others but believed he would have longevity. His speciality is the study of fundamental physical but I'm sure I'll be jealous of him up there without me. I'd love to try it sometime." The scientists and their families will move within a month to Houston for six months astronaut training at the Manned Space Center.

Then it will be on to an as-yet-undisclosed air base for at least a year of jet pilot school. "We'll miss the Boston area tremendously and hope to come back often," Mrs. Lenoir, who grew up in Erookiine, said, "but I enjoy moving around, and after all, it won't be forever." DR. BRIAN O'LEARY properties of the solid materials that make up rocks and minerals and other solid substances. He has been engaged in experiments to be continued on the moon to determine the material from which the moon was formed.

He said he was especially interested in the internal constitution of the moon and in an interpretation of its history. "There are all kinds of theories," he said. "In fact, the history of the moon isn't known." As the youthful England discussed his future, his wife, the former Kathleen Ann Kreutz of Fargo, N.D. sat beside him. England grew up in West Fargo.

Dr. Chapman is a descend- Mrs. Chapman also looked forward to living in Houston, hoping it will be "a bit more like the tropical climate of North Queensland. It has coral reefs an'd all, you know." Though only recently naturalized Mrs. Chapman said she felt "not at all unnatural" in the American space program.

"At least from our end, it is a little like an international scientific expedition. "The folks at home have got quite a boot out of it, though Philip being an American astronaut and alL" DR. ROBERT PARKER ant of one of the oldest pioneering families in Austra--lia and became a naturalized U.S. citizen, along with Dr. Llewellyn, a native of Cardiff, Wales, to meet NASA requirements.

He is interested in the development of the relativistic theory of gravitation and the study of gravitational interactions between the planets and other celestial bodies. He hopes to continue his tests in orbit. With him as he discussed his field of. interest were his blonde wife, Pamela, whose home was in Herberton, North Queensland, and their 6-year-old light-haired son, Peter who was amazed by all the attention focused on his dad. The slender, dair-haired Lenoir has done research in applying the techniques of radio astronomy to the remote studying and measuring of the earth's atmosphere.

He has supervised a program of experiments involving 15 high-altitude balloon flights in the past four years. Lenoir said he was particularly interested in the possibility of studying the earth's atmosphere from the other side. Attending the press conference with Dr. Lenoir was his wife, the former Elizabeth Frost, who as a journalism student at Northeastern University, worked as a reporter in the women's department of The Boston Globe. The daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas Frost of Brook-line, she was graduated from Northeastern in 1963. She and her husband have a son, William 2, who stole the show at the press conference by lying on the floor, throwing punches and sticking his tongue out at newsmen. None of the 11 men are able to fly jets although Dr. Chapman once held a private pilot's license so they will be enrolled in an Air Force flight school next year.

Qualifications for the program included U.S. citizenship by naturalization or birth, a height of less than six feet, a birth date after Aug. 1, 1930, and a doctorate in natural sciences. Henize and Thornton were older but exceptions were made for them. England expects to complete his doctorate requirements next month and receive his degree next June.

England's thesis, according to a spokesman at M.I.T., is considered an important piece of fundamental work in solid state physics. From his basic equations, other geophysicists may be able to determine from seismic data the materials and conditions in the interior of the earth or moon, M.I.T. reported. He helped design a means of measuring the electrical conductivity of the material in the deep lunar interior and has predicted the seismic depth structure of the moon. OLD VIENNA HQFBRAU 1314 Comm.
