Relay Sends Weak Signal NEW YORK (UPI) - Despite weak signals received at a French tracking station, Telstar II. the newest communications satellite is very much on course, a spokes man for American Telephone & Telegraph Co. said today. Once it is in orbit, "a satellite doesn't get off course." t h e spokesman said. "It just continues to go around and around." He traced weak signals received Tuesday night at Pleumeur Bo dou, France, to an "inauspicious slant range and "altitude" of the satellite. The "slant range" of Telstar II, or its distance in space from tracking stations, was especially great Tuesday night he said. This, he added, will improve as the sat ellite's orbit changes in relation to tracking stations on earlh. The "attitude" of the "bird," he said, had put its antenna for re ceiving signals on the far side of the satellite. Thus scheduled transmissions tests for a pass of the Telstar w--!re cancelled early t 'day. The gleaming space vehicle, launched Tuesday at Cape Canav eral. Fla., had a trajectory "as close to normal as any we have had to dale." according to Rob ert H. Gray, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The third would authorize a city of 100.000 or over to consolidate with the county. The proposed constitutional enanges require two-thirds ap proval in both the House and Sen ate before they can be submitted to the voters.

WILSON United Press International A Citizens Committee for a Free Cuba iCCFC) has been set up in Washington, D. C. Impres sively, it is sponsored by a score of notable Americans. CCFC is nonpartisan. The com mittee is likely to develop con siderable political muscle, how ever. Its sponsors are such as to win the confidence of the Amen can people if CCFC can make it self heard. Vol. 1, No. 1 M CCFC's Free Cuba News (FCNi was distrib uted under date of May 4. a mod est, eight page, mimeographed pamphlet edited by Daniel James from 617 Albee Building, 1416 U Street, N. W Washington 5, D.C. Emphasis appears to be on Cuba. But the committee's inter est embraces the whole of Latin America. Urgent Matter CCFC is sparked by several ideas and convictions of much urgency: That there is urgent need for an effective U. S. Cuban policy embracing a method of freeing the island from communism. That the enslavement of 6 mil lion Cubans may now lead to the enslavement of 20O million per sons in the remaining 19 Latin American republics. That the Communist achieve ment in Cuba and plans for the other 19 republics are wholly part of an offensive designed to en slave the United Slates. That communism is making such progress in Latin America that there may be other Cubas there before long. Implicit in the CCFC program is the conviction that the Kenne dy administration does not now have an effective U. S. Cuban pol icy. If CCFC gets the attention of the U. S. public, the Kennedy ad ministration will find itself under punishing non - partisan attack. The political consequences could be very great. It already is evi dent that the 1964 Republican presidential and congressional campaigns will make Cuba a ma jor issue. Situation Termed Grave The first issue of FCN asserted that the overall situation in Latin America is much worse than the American people realize. "The Communist drive there." said FCN, "is already on the way to producing these scries of con sequences: 'Demoralization of Latin Amer ica's democratic forces. "Resurgence of dictatorial mili tary elements intent on taking power in reaction to the Commu nist threat. Infiltration and subversion of other Latin American govern ments. Frustration of inter-American efforts to achieve social and eco nomic progress." Issues Summarized FCN summed up things thus: "If not halted before much more time has passed, the Communist drive south of the Rio Grande could result in the gradual isola tion of the U. S. from its friends and allies in Latin America the reverse of the elfort to isolate Communist Cuba. "The object of Free Cuba News is to publish news about Cuba, and about the growing Castro - Communist infiltration of Latin America, which is not now find ing its way into existing news me dia. The American people when given the facts, will make up their own minds what to do about them." Perfect for Mother...
