Broadcasts Cease As Telstar Falters
MURRAY HILL, N.J. - (UPI) Live trans-Atlantic television has ceased, for the time being.
After 47 broadcasts between America and Europe, five of them in color, the Telstar communications satellite in orbit around the earth has developed difficulties.
Although the command circuit stopped working in the satellite's 1)242nd orbit last Friday, telemetry reports on 112 different experiments continue.
A SPOKESMAN at Bell Telephone laboratories here, reported Telstar "won't take orders to turn its communications receiver and transmitter on and off." The satellite, sent aloft last July, was developed by Bell and is the first private ownership experiment in space.
In addition to receiving and sending signals, Telstar is designed to report on conditions in space. The telemetry transmitter reports to ground receiving stations on the amount of radiation in space, the
condition of the satellite, temperature readings, and the effects or radiation on satellite solar cells and transistors.
TELEMETRY SENDING will be discontinued two years after Telstar's launching so the transmitter's frequency may be used for other space experiments. This is standard procedure in satellite operation.
Prior to launching, Bell engineers did not agree on how long the command circuit would operate. Predictions are based on probabilities and space explorations are continually attempting to discover these probabilities.
Before it ceased operation, the broad band receiver completed 250 technical transmission tests in addition to the television broadcasts seen by millions in two continents. Over 400 demonstrations of multi-channel telephony, telegraphy, and telephoto facsimile communication were given.
Trombonists John Hill will conduct a group of musicians from the surrounding area Sunday in a free jazz concert.

Press Suppression Enrages Germans
By Phil Newsom
UPF Foreign News Analyst LONDON — (UPI) — Neither international nor internal pressures are new to "Der Alte." West Germany's aging Chancellor Konrad Adenaauer.
In four visits to Germany since 1958, this correspondent never has seen the West German republic torn by such a wave of national emotionalism.
For more than a year, members of his own party, the Christian Democrats, and his coalition partners, the Free Democrats, had been demanding he set a date for his retirement and to name his successor.
This was the "Spiegel Case."
BUT IT IS SAFE to say that not even the shrewd Adenauer anticipated the latest storm that almost blew his government out of office, nor the direction from which it would come.
Der Spiegel is a national news magazine whose hard-hitting columns frequently have irked both Adenauer and his controversial defense minister, Franz Josef Strauss. The attitude of "let the chips fall where they may" has at various times led the magazine to be critical of both East and West. Law suits against the magazine had been brought by both Adenaauer and Strauss, unsuccessfully.
BEFORE HIS OWN part in the midnight arrests of Der Spiegel's editors became known, Strauss made no attempt to hide his pleasure that charges of suspicion of treason against them appeared likely to bring the publication to heel.
Then came the reaction.
German readers made no attempt to prejudge the case of treason. But they objected strenuously to the midnight knock-on-the-door manner in which the arrests were carried out.
Hamburg newspapers with no special reason to love Der Spiegel offered the magazine use of their printing presses and office space.
Berlin editors, with the memory of Hitler's controlled press in their minds, joined the attack.
