Thought For Today" The greatest of faults is to be - conscious of none, ) VOL. 93 -- NO. 178 'OSHAWA, ONT, ARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1964 RELIGIO Ranger _ On Target ' PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Scientists watched with elation today as Ranger 7 sailed! peacefully through space with a cargo of cameras now given an 80-per-cent chance of snapping closeups of the moon. Radioed information indicated all instruments aboard the 806- vehicle were in normal condition, including the televi- sion system designed to go into action just before impact at 9:25 a.m. EDT Friday. There was no threat so far of the technical troubles that foiled six previous Ranger shots. - Dr. William H. Pickering, di- rector of the jet propulsion lab- oratory which made and is guid- ing Ranger 7 on its 228,000-mile voyage, says the insect-shaped spacecraft has passed the worst Quebec MLA Suspended For 3 Years QUEBEC (CP) -- An opposi- tion member of the Quebec iegislative assembly has been suspended for three years for accusing the provincial attorney general of bribe-taking without having a fact to back up his charge. The assembly voted 53 to 23 Wednesday night to bolt its |Space Administration of its hurdles and has a four- out-of-five chance of success. He raised the odds from 50-50 Wednesday after a minor tra- jectory adjustment 100,000 miles out in space aimed Ranger 7 at a 50-by-300-mile area in the Sea of Clouds, just southwest of the centre of the moon. MAY MAKE CORRECTION Ranger 7 now is cruising idly while scientists determine whether one final correction must be made before the spac- craft plungs into the moon at 5,800 miles an hour. Its six cameras, peering out a hole in the side of its cone- shaped body, must be pointed straight down when they begin snapping 4,000 pictures in the final 13 minutes of flight. If the craft is in proper posi- tion no correction will be made. Otherwise, tiny jets will be sent a signal one hou~ before impact to roll the craft around in space until the right photo-) graphic angle is achieved | National Aeronautics aad officials say any photographs obtained will be released within 24 hours.

Mr. McIntosh, MP for. Swift Current . Maple Creek, imme- diately labelled the document a political report, politically- slanted by a defeated Liberal candidate, Judge Harold W Pope of Moose Jaw, Sask. fronically, Judge Pope's in- quiry stemmed from complaints last year by Mr. McIntosh over the dismissal of George Walker, Swift Current area supervisor for the Prairie Farm Assist- ance Act, after the Liberals took office from the Conserva- tives in April, 1963. Judge Pope, in a 20,000-word volume submitted to the fed- eral government June 10, upheld Mr. Walker's dismissal and found there were irregularities connected with payments to farmers from PFAA funds built up from farmer contributions No amount of over - payment was given although a previous parliamentary inquiry, touched off by Mr. MclIntosh's com-| plaints, heard estimates of pos-| sibly $500,000. BLOCKED PROBE : In effect, Judge Pope says Mr. McIntosh blocked an inves- tigation into irregularities pro- posed by PFAA Director How- ard Riddell of Regina. He says Mr. McIntosh profoundly influ- enced Mr. Walker and threat- ened Mr. Riddell and the PFAA board of review. : No investigation was held, al- though Alvin Hamilton, then fed- eral, agriculture minister, : in- Facing Charge JACK McINTOSH Judge Pope's months-long pub-| lic inquiry. } Judge Pope, referring to|brain operation last April 24.

PROJECT MANAGER POINTS TO MOON TARGET TORONTO (CP)--One major obstacle to settlement of a newspaper printers' strike here has. been removed but a series of other issues replaced it today as the walkout entered its fourth week, The International Typographi- cal Union (CLC), which calls the situation a lockout, said 20 changes in previously agreed-to contract clauses were proposed by management Wednes- day after the disputants settled the one-time key issue of juris- diction over electronic comput ers on the three dailies. The union contended in statement Wednesday night that the changes would "have the effect of operating open shop (non-union) coniposing rooms." "We do not agree," said a statement from the manage- ment, which made no further comment.

With Parliament about to close and a general election in the offing, Atilee told the House of Lords Wednesday: "I was hoping that attending the Commonwealth conference, the prime 'minister might have got away from being a political propagandist and might have become prime minister." Attlee attacked a government motion, moved.by Lord Carring- ton, leader of the Houes, call- ing attention to the conference the motion because Common- wealth conferences had never been debated before. "It-is undesirable that we should have a discussion of this kind," Attlee declared. 'The prime ministers are all equal.

These men are the best paid workers in Chile. Against an average per capita income of $325 a year, copper workers make around $2,000 a year, plus such benefits as free medical care and cheap rent. The Anaconda and Kennecott copper companies handle nearly 90 per cent of copper produc- tion in Chile, through a $1,000,- 000,000 investment in four mines which produce well over 500,000 tons of copper every year. Work has been stopped 123 times by strikes since . 1955, when new legislation was a- dopted, These strikes have cost Chile 280,000 tons and $168,000,- 00 in lost production.
