OREGON Ownership Among Issues Debated in Satellite Measure Washington - (CO) - Every few years in Congressional history, a small but deter mined group has found it necessary to gird itself for a fight against the "special in terests" - the railroads, the coal barons, the bankers, the oil magnates, for example. This year the fight has been carried to outer space, And the "villain" is the Amer ican Telephone St, Telegraph Co.

True to their word, they have succeeded in delaying ac tion not only on the satellite bill, but also on other vital legislation, and have held the floor by using various devices, often for more than 12 hours in one day. They have no hope of securing passage of a bill for complete public owner ship, which they prefer, but they hope to prevent action on the President's bill during this session. What is their cause? They agree with backers of the Ad ministration bill that some sort of mechanism for cstab 1 1 s h i n g a communications satellite system is desirable, but on other aspects - owner ship, regulation, types of sys tems, foreign negotiations -there is practically no agree ment. Ownership controversy The basic issue at .-.take in the Senate has been that of ownership of the system. The filibusterers argue that the President's plan would give away a system potentially worth billions of dollars and developed principally with taxpayers' money, to a mo nopoly created and sanctioned by the Government and con trolled by AT&T. Another issue, tied up with the ownership fight, is the type of system to be used. The filibusterers charge that AT&T is trying to push ahead on a system that is not the most efficient - a low-altitude system using several satellites like Telstar - and attempting to forestall a high altitude system that would render its present facilities obsolete. Al though AT&T has not public ly committed itself to a par ticular type of system, it has emphasized its Interest in con tributing to another U.S. first in space by putting into op eration a low altitude system which, they say, could be in operation long before a high altitude, synchronous system could. On the other hand, the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Administration has contracted with Hughes Aircraft to de velop Syncom, a high altitude satellite of the type which many argue would ultimately be part of a more efficient, cheaper system than a system using satellites like Telstar, and which they say can be developed sooner than has been estimated. The filibusterers have op posed every major aspect of the President's bill and even some minor ones. Other points of difference: Ownership of ground $ta tions. The President asked that they be owned by the corpora tion, but that provision was eliminated during the legisla tive process in favor of lan guage directing the FCC to encourage the carriers to con struct and operate ground sta tions. The filibusterers want the corporation to own them. Government us of the sys tem. Opponents want the Gov ernment to be allowed prefer ential treatment and rates in using the system because of the vast Government expendi ture that has gone into it. They also criticize a provision which requires the Govern ment to use the system, say ing this would in effect be a continuing subsidy to the pri vate corporation because, ex cept in unique cases, the Gov ernment could not use anoth er system which might be cheaper. . Stat Department tola. Fili busterers want foreign nego tiations left in the hands of the State Department and charge that allowing the cor poration proposed in the Ad ministration bill to conduct foreign negotiations is "a dele gation of the conduct of Amer ican foreign policy to a private corporate monopoly." Rata regulation. Opponents charge that provisions in the bill for FCC regulation of rates are insufficient safe guards of the public interest because the FCC has never been able to regulate rates adequately. They contend that inadequately regulated rate bases could cause your phone bill to go up. Structure and finance. Fili busterers contend that the corporation directors should have no connection with any communications c a r r i e r or equipment manufacturer, and that shares should cost less than the $100 each provided in the bill that has passed the House. They also propose that carriers be restricted to own ership of 10 per cent of vot ing shares outstanding, as are noncarriers, and that both-be limited to 10 per cent of non voting securities. Urgency. Opponents say pas sage of legislation is not ur gent and could easily wait until next year when a "bet ter bill" could be produced. Others argue that a national policy must be established be fore the International Tele communications Union meets in the fall of 1963 to allocate frequencies for use in space communications. They also say research and development are retarded in the absence of agreement on the type of sys tem ultimately to be used. (Copyright 1962, Congressional Quarterly Inc.)

But when a second steam ing complaint of a detour that led nowhere came in Tracnika radioed a cruiser car to in vestigate.

There also was a bat- rubber traffic cones blocking 'dor named Ricardo Unda "ule . . Freire was toe ling awsj.ssija M f illfr 11 1HSU looked official. The only catch was there was absolute ly nothing wrong with Route 3 to necessitate a detour. Dio dato removed the signs and traffic proceeded instead of being diverted off on Clark rd. into the wilderness of a state park as dozens of cars had been. That was about 8:45 p.m. along on his motor scooter near Ran dolph, Mass., about 25 miles northwest of Plymouth At the intersection of high ways 28 and 128, he came upon a red, white and blue mail truck parked at roadside. "A man hailed me and I stopped my motor scooter," Unda Freire said. "The man said, 'call the police! We've been robbed of a million dol lars!' " The young man sped to an outdoor phone booth and, in excitable, Spanish - accented tones, relayed that unusual Countv National Rnnt in IK-. holduo piece of information.

Up until a month ago, the mail trucks making the pick ups of cash for transfer to the Federal Reserve Bank of Bos ton had an escort, patrol car On July 17, it was removed. It was like taking Wyatt Earp off riding shotgun for Wells Fargo in Jesse James country Instead, the Post Office put in the small panel truck as driver and guard two men who were crack pistol shots and had been given top se curity clearance. The driver I was Patrick Schena, 36. of Everett, Mass., and the guard was William Barrett. 4fl. of 3 1 Mansfield. Both are family men who make about $100 a week. Late Tuesday afternoon, the mail truck picked tip nine sacks of registered mail (the currency) at the Hyannis Post Office. Shortly before 7 p.m., seven more sacks were picked up at the Blizzards Bay Post Office. Then Schena and Bar rett headed up Route 3 toward Boston, driving about 45 miles an hour in drizzly, cold weath er as the day's light began to fade. Men in Uniform Schena and Barrett, in five hours of subsequent question ing told what happened then: Shortly before 8 p.m., as they nearcd the Plymouth by. pass, a light-colored sedan whipped past them at 80 milei an hour. A few miles later, the mail truck came upon a man in police uniform stand ing by two parked cars. Be fore they could reach for their .38 caliber revolvers, gun barrels were thrust into the mail truck windows and Schena and burrett were told to drop their yeapons on the floor or "we'll blast off your heads." The robbers wore white gloves, no masks. They bound and gagged-but did not blind- fold-the two Post Office men and put them in the back o Hie truck with the sacks of money. One of the robbers, who was addressed as "Tony," (jot In the back with them. The scene was five miles north of the phony "detour." It had not been there when they passed by. It must have been set up seconds later so that not another motorist came up Route 3 at the time. Southbound cars on the divid ed highway were screened off by a 100-foot wide area of ground rising to a 13-foot crest. Took to Back Roads Two other men got Into the mail truck and drove off, soon leaving Route 3 and taking to back country roads that bumped and jostled Schena and Barrett, tied back to back i Oil me Kl UCK 11UUJ . slopped and each time Tony pulled out some of the dirty white sacks and handed them to a man in front called "Buster." He presumably toss ed them out to accomplices In other automobiles. About 90 miles after the stickup, the car was abandon ed outside Randolph. Tony's parting words were: "You can't see anything, you don't know anything and don't call the cops for 15 minutes." It took Schena and Barrett just about that long to work themselves loose and it was at that moment the young man from Ecuador appeared on his motor scooter. Possibly 'Intida' Job Policie believe this was par tially an "inside" job al- , though no suspicion of any j sort rests on Schena and Bar ! rett. They were sent home to their families for rest. The currency pickups are on irregular schedule known only to about 50 Post Office department employees. It was also known only to few that i the slate police escort had i been removed. I Suspicion pointed briefly to two top men on the FBI j "wanted" list - bank robbers Albert Nussbaum and Bobby Wllcoxson. But authorities said today they did not be lieve the pair was Involved. The truck driver and guard could not identify pictures of them as among the four men they saw. To solve the $1.5 million holdup, the Post Office was limited by law to offering a reward of only $2,000 for in. formation leading to the ar rest and conviction of the robbers. SNAKE BITES CHILD Lakeland, Fla. - lUPIl - Two-year-old Barbara Lynch was I listed in "poor condition at Lakeland Hospital Wednesday after she was bitten by a rat- tlesnake.
