Vice President's Residence Seen Ready in 2 Years By JOE HALL WASHINGTON (AP) Congress has voted to provide an official residence for the vice president but Hubert H. Humphrey would be well advised not to start packing for a while. Sponsors of the bill authorizing construction of the residence said it would be two years at the least before it could be built. Some said it was 'highly doubtful the home would be completed in time for Humphrey to occupy it during his present term as vice president.

The term ends Jan. 20, 1969. The Senate sent the bill to President Johnson Friday, corn- plating legislative action on it Ijy voice vote acceptance of House amendments to an original Senate measure. Johnson is considered certain to sign it into law, although neither he nor Humphrey gave any officia Isupport during its Consideration by Congress. The bill's sponsors said the administration was active behind the scenes and, in fact, Ijelped smooth the way for the takeover of some Northwest Washington land long owned and highly prized by the Navy.

The 10-acre tract on which the residence will be built is a part of the Naval Observatory grounds on Massachusetts Avenue in the heart of the capital's embassy section. The chief of naval operations lives on the grounds. The bill authorizes $750,000 for construction and furnishing of the vice president's residence. But sponsors said they were hopeful it would not Require the full amount. They said that only $45,000 would be asked for It in the next year, to be spent on architects' plans and some other prelimi- area.

Construction is also underway on Interstate 29 north to Brookings. Olson said remaining mileage includes 15 miles of Interstate 90 between Kadoka and Chamberlain, 28 miles from Sturgis to the Wyoming border and 118 miles from Brookings north to the North Dakota border. A four lane bridge across the Missouri River at Chamberlain is in the design stages with contracts scheduled for letting next year. Olson said South Dakota has made excellent progress on the interstate system despite a chronic shortage of funds. But he said the Department of Highways has been able to match and use all inters a allocations from the U.

S. Bureau of Public Roads and still maintain its regular program of construction on primary and secondary highways, as well as implementing the new farm- to market road improvement program of Gov. Nils Boe. Olson said South Dakota will see a step up in interstate construction this year because of an increase in funds for fiscal 1967. The state is receiving $27 million for fiscal 1967 com pared with $19 million for 1966.

Engineer Is Hissing After Train Collision MANLY, Iowa (AP) Big cranes tore today into piles of derailed railroad cars in the search for a missing engineer, the only person unaccounted for in the wreck of a Rock Island Lines passenger train near here. The missing man was Joseph Stauner, 66, of Manly, engineer on the southbound Rock Island Rocket, which was carrying about 90 persona when it ran through a switch and rammed the end of a freight train that had stopped in the yards. Twelve passengers on the Rocket were taken to two hospi tals at Mason City. All but three were released and they were reported in satisfactory condition.

Investigators said Stauner apparently jumped from the cab of the lead diesel just before the collision and was believed somewhere in the wreckage. The Rocket was en route from Minneapolis to Kansas City where it was to be switched. Railroad officials said the freight crew apparently failed to throw a switch after entering the yards and the Rocket went hurtling off the main line as it Disabled Vet Unable To Pay Federal Debt American MIAMI, (AP) Charles broad (Continued from Page 1) sell a SISO-miilion steel plant to Red China. knows of no Hanoi diplomatic moves to end the Viet Nam War.
