transatlantic television broad
casting today alter being
"tricked" into receiving com

Viewers on both sides of
the Atlantic reported recep.
tion as clear as the transmis
sions received between Tel-
star's launching last July 10
and its malfunction last No
vember. The space broadcasters also
hoped another television sat
ellite, the National Aeronau

operations soon. Relay was
born speechless last month
but communications between
it and earth resumed unc
pectcdly Thursday.
Decoding Davie Affected
Eugene S. O'Neill, director
of satellite communications of
the Bell Telephone Labora
tories which produced Telstar,
said the ratellitc went dead
when radiation . greater than
anticipated caused detrimen
tal electrical changes in Tel
star which affected tin decod

to 37 transistors.
O'Neill said scientists of the
American Telephone & Tele
graph Co. laboratories, "trick
ed Telstar's decoders into re

ing the command signals
slightly.
During the exchange of
broadcasts, officials of com
munications agencies on both

'Have Not' Areas
Would Benefit,
Group Declares
Salem - UPU - Legislation
calling for a 1-cent a gallon
gasoline tax to finance bonds
for construction of "have not"
highways throughout the state
will be proposed by the Ore
gon Coast Association, man
ager Verne Ayers said today.
He said legislators from
coastal areas have agreed to
submit a highway bond bill to
be financed by the 1-cent tax.
He said a proposal to in
crease auto registration by $5
a year also was under consid
eration. Ayers estimated the 1-cent
tax would raise between $5
and $6 million a year, and the
$5 registration increase could
produce up to $10 and $12
million a year.
He sa'id the plan would be
bitterly opposed by the State
Highway Commission and
Gov. Mark Hatfield.
Favored in Plank
Ayers was hopeful of suc
cess, however. He said the
State Democratic platform in
cludes a plank favoring such
bonding, and added "the Dem
ocrats control both the House
and Senate."
He said "our number one
project is to eliminate 25 milos
of horse and buggy road on
U.S. 101 in Tillamook coun
ty." He said the Associated Gen
eral Contractors and Oregon
Automobile Association op
pose the bonding plan, and
added the Oregon Motel As
sociation which at first op
posed the idea had reversed
Itself and now favored the
bonding proposal.
"If all the 'have not' high
way areas get together we can
get results," Ayers stated.
"Frankly," he said, "if we
get groups throughout the
state to thinking we're going
to get all the money for the
coast, they will all join and
try and get their share.
"This is what we want. All
the 'have not' highway areas
can benefit if they all join and
push together."
Routes Cited
He cited U.S. 20, U.S. 101,
U.S. 97, U.S. 395 and the
Winnamucca-to-thc-sca routes
as " 'have not' highways" that
need improvement.
He said so much money
was going into construction
of the intcrcstate highway
system there was not enough
money left over to improve or
rebuild other major state road
ways.
Ayers skoffed at those who
oppose the bond financing.
"That's what banks arc for.
"If you want to expand
your business, or build a
house, you borrow. We feci
that way about highway
bonds.
"Let's pay for the highways
while we are using them.
"You have to wait too long
for improvements if you so
on a cash basis," he explained.
Association Successful
Ayers said the Coast Asso
ciation had been "pretty suc
cessful" in programs to date.
He cited the $24 million As
toria bridge and the S12.6
million Gold Bcach-BrookiiiRS
highway project - both fi
nanced by bond issues - as
examples of successes to dale.
"We are vitally in need of
a network of highways in (he
slale to component the inter
state system," he said.
Ayers said he understood
the Highway 20 Association
also would join the campaign
for the proposed highway
bonds.
"That l-cent tax could raise
more than $0 million in the
next ten years to pay for Ihc
bonds while we were using
the highways." he explained.
Bulgarian Pilot Cleared of Espionage
Charges; Planning Return To Homeland
Rome UPI) A Bulgarian
pilot, cleared of spy charges
that could have landed him
in prison for 24 years, arrived
in Rome today and said he
would return to his homeland
as soon as possible.
The pilot, 2nd Lt. Milusc
Solakov, 23, came from Bari,
in southern Italy, where he
had spent a year in jail. He
was freed Thursday by an ex
amining magistrate who ruled
there was no ground for a
trial.
Bulgarian diplomats met
him at the train in Rome and
whisked him off in an auto-

who died of cancer Wednes
day night after a heroic four
month battle against the dis
ease. Funeral services will be

friend, actor Jack Carson,

only six hours before Powell
after successfully keeping his

To Attend Memorial Rites

U. S. Proves Right
Of Berlin Access
Berlin -IUPII- The U.S. Army
once again proved its rights
of Berlin access today by
sending convoys in both di
rections over the winterbound
East German Autobahn with
out Soviet interference.
I But the Communists ac
cused the West of "a gross
misuse of the airways" over
East Germany by allegedly
flying in West Germans to
blow up the Berlin Wall.
West Berlin police an
nounced the arrest in West
Germany of three men and a
woman on charges they twice
blew holes in the Communist
wall last month breaking 161
West Berlin windows.
The East German news
agency ADN claimed the ar
rests resulted from "the anger
at home and abroad and
above all of the people of
West Berlin at the latest ex
plosive attacks on the state
borders" of East Germany.
Man Escapes After
Apartment Burglary
A s h I a n d A man with
curly red hair, wearing dark

boots escaped through an al

er he was caught in the act of
burglarizing an apartment
here.
Police reported the man
got away with a purse con
taining about $00 from the
apartment of Mrs. Gladys Mc

also took a camera but
dropped it in the alley.
The man was described as

a long deathbed vigil,
planned to attend the memo
rial services with family and
friends. No one was expected
to attend the cremation.
Arrangements were made
to place the actor's ashes in
the cemetery's great mauso
leum which also contains the
remains of such Hollywood
personalities as Clark Gable,
Carole Lombard, Jean Har
low and Jerry Giesler.
In lieu of flowers, Powell's
family asked that donations
be send to the UCLA Medical
Center for cancer research.
The Rev. Dr. Kermit Cas
tellanos, assistant rector of
All Saints, said Miss Allyson
asked that he read the Ten
Commandments at the serv
ices "because they meant so
much in the life of Powell."
Services for Carson will
be held at the Wee Kirk o' the
Heather at Forest Lawn with
cremation and private inurn
ment following.
His death at his Encino,

"I am going back to Bul

away," the well-dressed young
aviator told newsmen at the
Rome station.
He declined to answer any
other questions but warmly
embraced one of the Bulgari
an officials.
When he was released from
prison Thursday he told news
men: "I am glad that the
truth has triumphed and that
I can finally go home."
The Solakov case began last
Jan. 20 when the 23-year-old
pilot crashed his Russian-built
Bulgarian MIG 17 in an olive
grove near a secret NATO
missile base at Acquaviva, It
aly. He was captured, charged
with spying and jailed to
await trial.
But examining magistrate
Dr. Ferninando Alterio ruled
Thursday that Solakov was
"not guilty" of political and
military espionage and there
was no case for trial. He or
dered the pilot released from
Bari prison and handed over
to the Bulgarian legation in
Rome.
Solakov always denied he
was spying. He long maintain
