(Kenn Knackstedt Photos) Lew Wallace Pays $3 To Make Speech in Portland Court Room Portland -MD- Lew Wal lace, veteran legislator and local Insurance man, paid $3 to make a speech in Municl pal Court Wednesday.

In court he entered a guilty plea and then asked Judge Alan Brown for permission to speak. Wallace charged the city with being negligent In not keeping the center stripe painted so that it was visible. He said the street was not properly posted as a two-way thoroughfare. Also, he said, signs face the wrong way on many streets so motorists can't read them without tak ing their eyes off the road. He summed up by saying that minor citations such as he received went against a motorist's record and too many could cause cancellation of a driver's license. Judge Brown thanked Wal lace for his observations, but levied the $3 fine. MAIL TWIUNI, MWf.rJ, Or. D Thune-sy, April 21, lttO Scientist Makes Repair Job on Space Satellite Washington - (UPD - A Los Angeles scientist has done a fantastic long-distance repair job on the U.S. Pioneer sate! lite while it was streaking through space 5'j million miles away from his labors tory. The National Aeronautics and Space administration hail ed the feat of Robert Gottfried of Space Technology Labora' tories, Inc., who made the re pair on a part the size of the head of a pin. Gottfried was dubbed "the long -armed repair man" by NASA chief T. Keith Glennan who sent him a telegram of congratulation!. Glennan no ted that the defect had "threatened the continuing performance of Pioneer V." NASA explained that trouble cropped up early last week in the satellite's "tele- bit" unit, a complex installs tion which gathers informa tion from other equipment to be sent back to earth. Gottfried, who helped de sign the teleblt unit, was call ed in and tracked the trouble to a mechanism which con tained some 430 transistors, 1,500 diodes which are semi conductors of electricity, 1,600 resistors, 1,000 capacitors and several thousand soldered con nections. Out of this maze, Gottfried spotted a faulty diode and be gan his repair job. Using a spare telebit unit, he devised a new code for translating the data which took the flaw into account. It worked and Pio neer V, which was launched March II in a sun orbit be tween Earth and Venus, con tinued its voyage into deep space. NASA has announced that at 9:08 p.m. (PST) Sunday, the 94.8 pound satellite passed the six million-mile mark. In the next few weeks, the space agency said, a command will be sent to the Pioneer to turn on its ISO-mile transmit ter. If successful, this could enable scientists to continue receiving data from as far as 90 million miles or more. Data being received at Man chester, England, was describ ed as good although the signal quality at South Point, Ha waii, is poor because it has a smaller tracking dish.
