CRANE NEST - PIGEON EGG The prospective pigeon
mother who abandoned the lone egg below did so only after
frustrating attempts to keep up with the portable nest she
constructed on Tru-Mix Concrete company crane. The hap
less mother followed her product from the Tru-Mix yard on
McAndrews rd. to a new location on West Main st. near
Front St., and back to the yard again. Monday afternoon
she apparently gave up her domestic duties after thought

Milk Usage Law
To Be Discussed
Salem (UPD - Possible amend
ments to the grade A milk
usage audit law will be con
sidered here Friday at a meet
ing of a new advisory com
mittee representing all seg
ments of the dairy Industry.
Producer and distributor
groups, at the request of the
State Agriculture Depart
ment, selected the committee
to consolidate Industry action.
The audit law was passed in
1857.
Purpose of the law is a
third-party check for Industry
and producers on usnge and
payout for grade A pilik. Ag
riculture Director James
Short said that although ex
perience with the law pin
points "the need for some re
finements and clnrificatlons,"
the department will not make
any proposals in the Initial
studies by the committee.
southeast Hawthorne blvd.
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.

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.
