Deportation of 'Jake the Barber' Started by Los Angeles - ICTD - DeDor- tations proceedings were be gun Monday against John Factor, southern Cahfor n i a millionaire-philanthropist who was the central figure in i 1933 Chicago gangland kid' naping case. - Factor, 70, was served with papers Monday ordering him to. show cause why he should not be deported to his native England. The order was based on Factor's 1943 conviction on several counts of using the malls to defraud. Factor, known as "Jake the Barber" in 1933, was kid naped In a case that resulted in a jail sentence for Chicago gangster Roger (The. Terrible) Touhy. : Touhy was shot to death on a Chicago street in 1999 - 22 days after serving 26-year jail sentence. Cosmetics King's Brother Factor, a brother of .cos metics king Max Factor, came to . California in 1949 after serving a six-year jail sentence for. the mail fraud. He said he borrowed $5,000 to get a start In real estate and since then has amassed millions. District Director George K. Rosenberg of the U.S. Immi gration Service, said the de portation action was taken on the basis of a 1932 change in immigration laws. He said, the law was modified to make a person deportable if convicted of more than one count in a single case. Previously, it was necessary to be convicted in at least two separate cases before deportation proceedings could be started. 'Shocked' By Action Rosenberg said Factor was convicted of more than one count: of mail fraud in a scheme involving bonded whiskey certificates. The im migration official said the de partment acted after a recent deportation order involving Frank '.

Factor, who was named "man of the year" in 1961 by a Jewish charitable organize tion, said he was "shocked" by the action. ' "1 just can't believe it," he said. "It's a - horrible thing. This (the conviction) happen ed 20 years ago. Since then I've always cooperated with the government. As far as I'm concerned I believe I am just as good an American as anyone. "I will fight this case all the way' he said. "What else can I do?" One of his attorneys recent' ly stated in court that Factor has given away more than $3 million to various medical clinics and other non-profit organizations.

(UPI) Weeks Needed To Translate Mariner Data Into Washington - lUPn - It will take scientists weeks to trans late into English what Mariner told them about Venus dur ing its 42-minute fly-by Dec. 14. Why? Because the inter planetary space language used by the scientists in their con versation with Manner and by Mariner in its radio reports to earth is an extremely com plicated code. Mariner 2 had been trained to use the code before it left home. Aboard the 447-pound spacecraft was a tiny device whose sole job was to trans late scientific measurements into the agreed-upon code. This was the so-called data encoder. The data, in code form, was transmitted by Mariner to ground stations, nt Goldstone, Calif.; Woomera, Australia, and Johannesburg, South Africa. Low Wattage . Mariner Transmitted at 2.89 watts, a power level at least as low as the dimmest bulb that ever purported to illumi nate a murky passage in some Old World wine cellar. By the time it traversed a million miles of space, the sig nal had faded to a billionth of a billionth of a watt. But this was enough for the 85 foot radio dishes at the three deep-space tracking stations. They could amplify it and record it on magnetic tape. HST Birthplace Attracts Visitors Lamar. Mo. -fUrD- A simple clapboard house here, the birthplace of former Presi dent Harry S. Truman, has made this southwest Missouri town a drawing place for tour ing Americans. The house was converted to a state memori?" April 19. 1939, and since has attracted more than 70,000 visitors. Furniture of the late 10th century has been installed. The original furnishings have long been scattered and lost. A plaque was installed: "In this room on May R. 1884, was born Harry S. Tru man, whose faith in the youth of this country has been an inspiration to all. In honest and sincere appreciation. The citizens of Lamar." Outside, flanked by Mis souri and United States flags, is a granite monument that traces Truman's rise to the presidency and his quotation: "I ask only to be a good and faithful servant of My Lord and my people."

Ph. 773-4264 MEDFORD Enqlish These stations for their part had data decoding instru ments. They recorded Mari ner's pulses and frequency switches in what one space expert called "idiot writing." Only about 50 persons among the thousands belong ing to the J e t Propulsion Laboratory crew in California which created Mariner can make even slight sense out of so-called "raw data" from the spacecraft. But fed into an IBM 7080 computer, the idiot language comes out in digital form as numbers which are intelligible to scientists and engineers. They are intelligible however, only after the most careful analysis. The final Job of translating the signals into English words and the meaningful symbols of science is one which can be done only by skilled hu man beings. It is at least as difficult as translating hieroglyphs found in an Egyptian tomb. And since the scientists can never afford merely to guess, it will take weeks or months to do the job right.

(UPI) MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORO. Midlands Bask In Record Heat For December United Press International The nation's midlands basked in a record-setting, mid-December heat wave to day.

A forecaster said last week's frost in Florida was the most severe freeze of the century.
