mail truck last night and escaped with $1.5 millionthe nation's biggest cash haul. It surpassed the 1950 Brink's $1,219,000 robbery In Boston. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, to which the money was consigned from Cape Cod banks, reported the amount taken. Chief Postal Inspector William F. White of Boston concurred.

The Federal Reserve made it clear the money was its responsibility and that the Cape Cod mem Mission To Venus Week Off Mariner 2 Is Hope Of U. S. CAPE CANAVERAL, Aug. up An Intricate Mariner 2 spacecraft Is being readied here for a 115-day Journey to the vicinity of the planet Venus to kick off an rxtenslve U. S.

program of interplanetary exploration. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reports it has corrected trouble which resulted in failure of the Mariner 1 launching on July 22 and is ready to try again soon. The launching is expected next week. A faulty guidance system equation caused the Atlas-Agena rocket carrying the first Mariner to stray off course and the range safety officer destroyed the vehicle after about five minutes ot flight. Mariner 2 has the same mission.

It Is to streak across millions of miles of space and pass within miles of Venus early in December. As the 448-pound craft makes a 30-minute sweep across Venus' sunlit side, sensitive Instruments are to -neasure magnetic fields, radiation, temperatures and other details. The findings, radioed 36 million miles back to Earth, could help unravel Ve-nusian secrets long hidden from man's prying eyes by heavy cloud layers which surround the planet. The spacecraft's exploration will not be confined to the brief encounter with the mysterious planet As it races to Its target It will collect and radio back data about conditions in space. The studies could help map safe routes for future astro- nouts.

If Mariner 2 Is successful, it will lay the groundwork for future vehicles which will land Instrument packages on Venus, Mars, and other planets. A total of 12 launches is planned In the Mariner program In the next few years to obtain Information about Venus and Mars. Beyond Mariner is Project Voyager for more extensive flights deep into the solar system. Russia launched the only previous Venus rocket. It whizzed within 62,000 miles of the planet but provided no data because Its radios failed early in flight.

The Mariner 2 launching will be the United States last opportunity to shoot for Venus until the planet again moves Into favorable position early in 1964. U. S. Team In Tunis TUNIS, Tunisia, Aug. 15 (UPI A team of 69 Peace Corps workers arrived today from the United States.

Pavel Popovich, who landed six minutes apart in Kazakhstan after orbital Journeys totaling nearly three million miles. Everybody expects a big parade. Perhaps lt will be on Soviet Air Force Day Sunday, perhaps earlier. A group of young Moscow residents couldn't wait. They set out carrying big portraits of all four Soviet astronauts and placards with the inscription: "Glory to the explorers of the universe!" "Cosmos! Cosmos! Cosmos!" they shouted.

A congratulatory mes-. sage from the Kremlin to all who had a part In the group flight hailed it as a new and magnificent victory in the conquest of space and added a Cold War note: "Forward to the victory of Communism!" Major Nikolayev had been nearly four full days and Colonel Popovich nearly three days In weightless orbit when their spaceships slipped back Into the Earth's atmosphere and landed In the hill and desert country south of Karaganda, a Kazakhstan city 1500 miles southeast of Moscow. PREMIER Niklta Khrushchev telephoned congratulations to them from his vacation spot at Yalta, on the Black Sea nearly 2000 miles west of Karaganda.

m. Moscow time (1:55 a. m. EST) and Colonel Popovich landed aboard his Vostok IV at 10:01 a. "in direct proximity with the planned points of lar.ding." The statement that both men were board their craft at the landing indicated the use of parachutes as well as land impact gear to cushion the shock.

The Russians' space pioneer, MaJ. Yuri Gagarin, parachuted to a landing within his Vostok I after his single orbit of the Earth April 12, 1961. MaJ. Gher-man Tltov, his successor, balled out at the end of his flight August 6, 1961, and floated to Earth while Vostok II came devn nearby. Here is the score for Major Nikolayev: More than 61 orbits, 95 hours of flight, 1.6 million miles of travel.

The score for Colonel Popovich: More than 48 orbits, 71 hours of flight, 1.24 million miles of travel.

AF Jet Downed, Laotian Says Indonesia Given Dutch Territory ber banks would stand no losses "on shipments made In compliance with applicable rules." The holdup team, well rehearsed and acting with precision and speed, was spear-headed by a man in police uniform. It was he who caught the two men on the mail truck off guard.

Glenn Jr. and Lt. Comdr. Malcolm Scott Carpenter. At any rate, the ships were big enough so both cosmonauts could unstrap themselves from their tilted control seats and move welghtlessly about their cabins, Soviet accounts' said.

"Both feel well and their physical state after landing is good," a government bulletin announced. REARDED and doubtless welcoming the prospect of baths, the two were picked up by helicopters and ferried to a welcome by a rescue team of doctors, friends and sports commissioners. Only Soviet reporters were permitted in the area. The Soviet news agency Novosti announced, "For the next few days they will remain under observation of doctors to study the influences of prolonged space flight on the human organism."
