Brookhaven Lab in Top Six
For Biggest Atom Smasher

the six possible locations for the Atomic Energy Commission 's proposed
200-billion electron volt (BEV) proton accelerator.
Ptl 's Instinct Saves L if e
Of 21- Yr-old Patchoguer
The announcement sent hopes
soaring
that Brookhaven Lab
might eventually be chosen as
the site for the world 's largest
atom-smasher , which would be
the main facility in a proposed
new national accelerator center.
Cost of the project is estimated
at a total of about 8375,000 ,000.
That figure includes approximately $300,000 ,000 for construction , $40,000 ,000 for additional research equipment to be
installed during the first year of
operation , and the remainder for
a particle detection unit. Construction would require six to
eight years.
The proposed laboratory would
employ about 2 ,400 people and
would have an annual operating
budget
estimated at about
$60,000 ,000.
The NAS committee now plans
to carry out such additional
studies as may be necessary and
make its final choice from among
the six location s later tills year .
Brookhaven National Laboratory, In a statement released
yesterday, said itls "very happy
that the National Academy of Sciences Site Evaluation Committee
recognized the outstanding advantages of the BNL site for the
proposed new 200 BEV accelerator . The laboratory is convinced
that it constitutes the best possible site for this major new scientific facility and hopes that the
government
will
designate
Brookhaven as the final choice."

The new course is being developed under the ownership and
direction of the Spring Lake Corp.
Members of this firm include

According to Mrs. Martin this
week , the course will be open for
public use when completed , but
will be of the type and calibre

found only on those
courses under private operation.
The first 18 holes of the course ,
it was reported , will cover some
7,200 yards , and the other nine
holes will extend some 3,500
yards. A swimming pool and tennis courts are also planned , as
are complete locker facilities,
and "a beautiful clubhouse located In a splendid area." The
design of the course will take advantage of a six-acre lake located on the property. The facilities will include practice fairways, driving range and putting

Court 's Reapportionment
Plan Affects Suff. Dists.
A flve -mim committeeappointed by the State Court ot Appeal',
presented this week a courtordered reapportionment plan
which will shift both Senate and
Assembly district boundaries
based on 1960 census population
figures. While leaders ofboththe
Republican and Democratic parties agreed that the plan gives
present incumbentsagoodchance
for reelection , it is also said to
generally benefit the Democrats
and gives them a good chance of
winning control of both the State
Senate and the upcoming Constitutional Convention. The Democrats currently control the State
Assembly .
Generally, the court-backed
plan calls for the reduction in the
si ze of the legislature from 230
to 207 members to comply with
the one-man , one -vote ruling of
the Supreme Court and with the
provision s of the State Constitution which limits the size of the
Legislature. The plan will setthe
district boundaries for the legislative seats which will be filled
on a two-year basis at November 's election .
The plan calls forthe reduction
of one Senate and Assembly seat
In Suffolk County. ln the Senate,
Incumbents Senator Elishs T.
Barrett of Brightwaters and Senator Bernard C . Smith of Northport , both Republicans, are
placed by the plan in the same
district , thereby eliminating one
Senate seat. And in the Assembly, Assemblyman Charles J.
Melton of B3y Shore, a Democrat , and Richard Di Napoli of
North Babylon, a Republican, are
now in the same Suffolk Assembly district.
Loaders of both parties were
in agreement that the court's
plan was similar to a compromise worked out by the leaders
of both parties when earlier attempts at a reapportionment
solution agreeable to both parties proved unsuccessful.
Assembly Minority Leader
Perry B, Duryea , Jr., of Montauk conformed the similarity
between the compromise agreement and the court's plan , stating: 'It is just what I had expected. " Suffolk Democratic
Leader Lawrence Delaney commented : '*I feel pretty happy about
it. It is a fair plan. "

several extremely capable candidates for the post of Suffolk Republican Chairman , Dick Zeidler
best represents the type of man
whom we need. I am supporting
Mr. Zeidler and am urging other

library Vote
Is Scheduled
For Saturday
A reminder from the Patchogue
Library: The public referendum
on the proposed new branch library in the northern section of
District 24 will be held at Patchogue Senior High School on Saxton Street from 1to 9 p.m. Saturday, March 26. Only those residents who are legally registered
may vote on the proposal.
The proposed branch library is
designed for 10,820 sq. ft. of floor
space, with a book capacity of
30,000 volumes. It would be built
on the district-owned site on the
corner of Route 112 and Jamaica
Avenue In Medford. Cost Is estimated at $295,000.
Robert A. Dryden , director of
the building program , urged that
district voters make a special
effort to vote on the library proposal. "The district is growing
so rapidly, " he said, "that our
population has outstripped our library facilities. A new branch
Lbrary will not onl^ piovide library service to residents of the
northern end of the district but
will also relieve the present congestion at the main library, ft
will be of lasting value to both
the children and the adults of our
entire community. "
