West, Lrarchmont. Statin that the supervisor's sudden call to action in the present fare raise crisis is not only, "too little and no doubt, too also rings of political expediency. Where was all the noise on his part on July 1, when an increase went through? What big action did he take concerning the 10 per cent increase granted the New Haven in 1957, and the additional 5 per cent in 1958? "I'll tell you where he was. He was not only on the Board of Supervisors as our representative, he was for part of that time, chairman of its Public Service Commission. I repeat that this sudden concern of his, less than a month before he desires to be reelected doesn't exactly ring true to me and I would guess that many, many voters feel the same way." Mr.

McDonald the Steelworkers would not say if the executive board recommended rejection. But he did say he has the solid support of the striking members. After the board meeting. McDonald said: "Reports from the directors who have been close to the men back home during this time indicate a remarkable degree of high morale, unity and determination among our people." Even before the board meeting ended, there were reports from Washington that government attorneys were working on plans for quick Taft-Hartley action to stop the costly strike. The first step would be for the President to declare an emergency and appoint a fact-finding committee.

Then, if the committee reports an emergency, a federal court injunction would be sought. Industry sources earlier reported the management offer would increase labor costs about 16 cents an hour during the life of a two year contract. But union sources said added labor costs would come closer to 10 cents an hour during a two-year period.

If a U.S. moon vehicle had not exploded 10 days ago on its launching pad, US, and Soviet moon- bound rockets might have been cutting through space in a fantastic lunar race. The American vehicle, scheduled for launching Saturday morning, blew up during an engine test 10 days ago at Cape Canaveral, Fla.

Slowed by the relentless gravitational tug of the earth, the flying laboratory should come within 4.3,50 miles of the moon at 5 (10 EOT) tomorrow, the official news agency said. As it approached the moon, the interplanetary what the Russians call separated from the last stage of the cosmic rocket that launched it yesterday, Tass added. The agency said that at noon Moscow time (5 station was 248,000 kilometers or 154,000 miles from the earth and over the eastern part of the Indian Ocean.

This was well over the halfway mark. Tass said it is moving toward the moon more slowly than the first and second Luniks. This is to enable it to pass round the moon and be pulled back to earth instead of flying off into space as did the first moon shot last January. The unmanned space station has a camera aboard. Its pictures were to be translated into radio signals which would be sent back to the earth.

An unnamed astronomer declared triumphantly over Moscow radio: "It is now a new moon and that means that the other side of the moon is brightly lighted by the rays of the sun. What lies there? Soviet scientists will have the reply to this qucstion before long." Notes Like Violin Scientists kept track of the space vehicle by its radio signals, which sounded like notes from a violin. The launching Simday on the second anniversary of the birth of the Sputnik was heralded on both sides of the Iron Curtain as another giant step in man's adventure into space.

"I haven't heard from you in nearly a month. Please send a check so I'll know you're all right." DESCRIBING PLANS for the new Larchmont railroad station. Harold V. Bozell, right, chairman of the Larchmont Traffic Commission, explained to mont Mayor John B. Coffinberry, left, and Town Supervisor George D.

Burchell that it wUl be 97 feet long and contain space equivalent to the old tion torn down when thruway construction hit Larchmont. The new station is expected in 90 by Chris Loveley on Larchmont's new passenger station is scheduled for completion within 90 days. This good news for commuters was announced today by Mamaroneck Town Supervisor George D. Burchell, Larchmont Mayor John Coffinberry and Harold V. Bozell, chairman of the Larchmont Traffic Commission.

Mr, Burchell enumerated some of the many problems which led to the extended delay in the construction. In 1955 the New Haven Railroad agreed to build a station at track level, which would be equivalent in size to the old For this, together with other station facilities, the Thruway appropriated $250,000, It took until January, 1957, for the railroads architects to submit their plans. When they did, it was realized that the $250,000 allocated fell short of estimated costs by $125,000, Tills stymied the construction of the station and caused architectural changes to be made. Subsequently all other construction at the station, including the pedestrian overpass and the two canopies, were completed but the cost factor still held up work on the station itself. In December of 1958 Mr.

Burchell and Mayor Coffinberry wrote a letter demanding that thruway authorities take immediate action on the station. He pointed out that promises made by the thruway and the railroad to speed a solution had not been carried out. They, with Mr. Bozell kept prodding until a satisfactory plan was agreed upon. Main Station The new main station, 97 feet long, will be built of porceinized enamel walls on aluminized steel.

The floor will be terrazzo and the windows will be sliding plate glass. Architecturally in keeping with the bridges, the new station will be a welcomed addition to the Village and Town, the spokesmen said. As soon as the station is completed. Mr, Burchell said, it is expected that the escalator, agreed to by the thruway in 1955 and for which the frame is already in place, will be installed. It was settled in 1955 that whoever operated the Plaza would pay for the costs of operating the escalator.

Since the Village has taken over the management and operation of the plaza it will be the Village's responsibility. The thruway authorities, the railroad and the Village are now in the process of working out final details.
