A synchronous satellite is one which appears to hover over one spot on the globe becaues its speed matches that of the earth's rotation. This can be achieved only at an altitude close to 22,300 miles. SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHING The three-stage Douglas Delta scoring its 15th straight satellite } hing , blasted off at 12:35 am. EST and drilled Syncom into a highly elliptical orbit at 22,800 miles an hour. + The mechanical marvel coasted upward for five hours and seven minutes until it reached near the 22,300-mile altitude. Then a small solid fuel rocket was fired by a timing device to. change the orbit fram elongated to cir- cular at this height. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration an- nounced that the two critical early phases of flight --: the launching and the firing of the small rocket--had occurred. But it said that several hours of tracking would be required to determine how successfully the ignition of the small rocket had been. The firing occurred above the equator between dagascar and the East: Afric' coast, During the long coast ingly "stand still" in space. Success cannot be completely evaluated until the satellite has performed a number of planned, complex manoeuvres, expected to take about two weeks. igh a- riod, the satellite's speed had}sim slowed to less than 3,500 miles an hour. The burst of power from its motor was aimed at in- creasing this to about 6,870 miles, equalling the speed of the earth's rotation, WILL LOOK MOTIONLESS To make most effective use of ground communications sta- tions, scientists want the satel- SYNCOM LAUNCH lite to hang. like a star over the equator between South America and Africa. , television transmissions as were the Telstar and Relay commu- nications satellites package built by Hughes Air- craft Company, is geared for telephone, teletype and radio transmissions, which project of- ficials hope will prove the feas- ibility of using high - altitude synchronous satellites not only for communications, but weather forecasting and other duties. Iraq Regime Fights Reds In Baghdad BAGHDAD (AP) -- Forces of Iraq's new revolutionary regime battled Communist holdouts in the streets of Baghdad through the night. Rifles, machine-guns and, oc- casionally, heavier tank weap- ons were heard in the centre of the city from about 9:30 p.m. until 5:30 a.m. It was the heaviest firing in the Iraqi capital since Saturday night, the second night of the revolution that overthrew and killed Iraqi Premier Abdel Kz- Urged by clandestine Red ra- dios to stage an armed uprising ulated sections of Syncom is not equipped for] launched | ; last year.

It was Sukano's first public denunciation of the plan to unite Malaya, Singapore and British territories in North Borneo in a federation of Malaysia. The plan calls for inauguration of the fed- eration Aug. 31. "We don't want Malaysia around us," Sukarno told 10,000 persons at a rally in Jakarta. "We know it is encirclement. Malaysia is to save imperal- un." Sukarno said he had told the armed forces "'we still have a challenge to face." "* 'Beware,' I said.

Last December a pro - Indo- nesian North Borneo leader, A. M.

"This will include economic confrontation as well,' Sukarno continued. Apparently he was threatening to cut off the large Indonesian transit trade through Singapore and Malaya.

The commission based its unanimous. decision on Presi- dent Kennedy's new Trade Ex. pansion Act, saying that heavy imports of softwood lumber do not result ni"major part" from concessions granjted under trade agreements. The commission concluded also that increased imports of softwood lumber from Canada not result in "major part'? from from trade agreement conces-} sions given to Canada. Canada has a- huge softwood lumber market in the U.S., amounting to some $260,000,000 sought to impose a hefty tariff increase as well as an import to reduce competition from Canada which the U.S. in- dustry maintained was crippl- ing U.S. producers. The commission said it agreed ected that imports from Canada had increased during recent years and that 'the trend of imports is upward. But it said many forces are contributing to this rise and it would be exceed. ingly difficult to identify them all and probably would be im- possible to evaluate each with precision because these forces were inexorably interrelated." Th commission said it couldn't make any recommen- dation to President Kennedy on the basis of tariff demands be- cause under the new act it could determine only whether the in- jury claimed resulted "in ma- jor part" from the trade agree. ments concessions previously granted. In this case it could not find that the concessions were the immediate cause of the U.S. in- dustry's troubles. The commission found that the depreciation of the Canadian dollar continues to be an im- portant stimulus to imports of support for the North Borneo re-| volt which sought to set up an/|strike.

McCurdy of Windsor, secretary-treasurer of the Carpenters union, Wed- nesday demanded an investiga- tion of permits issued by the lands and forests department to settlers during the strike. Ex-Student Faces Murder Charge TORONTO (CP) -- William Swayne, 24, a sales trainee with a pharmaceutical firm, was killed in his west-central Tor- onto apartment Wednesday by a man armed with a. .303-calibre rifle. Police said Swayne was' shot at close range as he was pre- paring to leave the apartment. Three bullets hit him in the chest and one in the head. Michael Mason, 21, a former psychology student at the Uni- versity of Toronto now unem- ployed, was charged with cap- ital murde1.

For more than a week, ter- lot was 217 to 200 in favor of the MP. The 27-year-old lawyer told a press conference in his office that Mr. Richard appears to be afraid to face a convention. "There is no reason why a sitting member should be afraid of a convention," he said. "If he is afraid, he shouldn't be the member." He added that he intends to contest a convention against Mr. Richard. Mr. Parisien admitted that the dispute might result in two "official" Liberal candidates. But he said he was certain this would not result in a loss of the riding to another party.

J, H. Bettes; business agent of. the Toronto joint board of the electrical workers union, said: '"'The company.is not bar- gaining in good faith." The company earlier refused }to consider negotiations unless picket lines were first removed by the striking union from the Spruce Falls plant gate at Ka- puskasing. The Reesor Siding outbreak! came as a climax to a series of incidents since some 1,500 bushworkers* went on_ strike against the Spruce Falls plant at Kapuskasing and the Kim- berly-Clarke Pulp and Paper! Company at Longlac, 180 miles west of here. The bushworkers want simul- taneous contracts covering | reduction in the work week and compensating wage increases. The companies maintain the Kimberly-Clark operation can- not support such increases be- cause of poor markets. Since the strike began the un- ion has been blocking the trans- port of wood cut by the set- tlers--most of them French- speaking men from Quebec who supplement their usually mea- gre income in 'the bush and muskeg country by supplying about 110,000 cords of pulpwood each winter to the Spruce Falls mill. The three union men were killed by gunfire as they ad- vanced ._Monday night on a stack of settlers' pulpwood awaiting movement to the mill. Killed in the shooting were Joseph and Irene Fortier, brothers, and Fernand Drouin. Their bodies were taken Wed- nesday by train to their Quebec province homes. The Fortier brothers are to be buried at Palmarelle and Drouin at St. workers at both plants, with a Elear. Roundup Of Loggers Continues The 19th man charged with murder is Paul-Emile Coulombe of Val Rita, manager of the co- operative, who took his wife to Montreal from hospital at Hearst, 80 miles west of here. He left immediately after being freed on $500 bail Monday night when he and the other 18 were oriainally charged with shooting with intent to wound. The charges were changed to non-capital murder Tuesday and a roundup of the co-operative members started. By Wednesday night, 14 of m had surrendered here and another four surrendered at Hearst. All were taken to dis- trict jail at Haileybury. In rounding up the 237 union members, police had close co- operation from the union. A un- ion steward escorted members of an improvised police head- quarters and court room in the Kapuskasing Inn--owned by the paper company--and provided a translation service for the French-speaking majority. TWO OF 19 MEN charged with non-capital murder in Northern Ontario's bushwork- ers strike are escorted from jail in Kapuskasing, Ont., to police cruisers which. took them to larger cells in Hailey- bury, 250 miles away, yester- day. The men are independent settler woodcutters involved in shooting in which three strikers were killed and 12 wounded Monday. Police are also rounding up nearly 400 striking bushworkers on charges of unlawful assembly. --CP Wirephoto ¥
