Oshawa Sune VOL. 92 -- NO. 4 Bh OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1963 Ottawa and TSHOMBE CONFERS WITH MEMBERS OF HIS STAFF 'Mad Dog' Killer Welcomed Death WETHERSFIELD, Conn. (AP)--Death row, as Benjamin Reid sees it, is like a dentist's office. "Just as in the dentist's office one thumbs through an old mag- azine, a magazine which you have probably read before, a man condemned to death thumbs through the back pages of his life," writes Reid, 25, a five-year resident of death row, in the state prison magazine. Unlike most condemned pris- oners, Reid, a Negro, left death row for a roomier cell, not the electric chair. Sentenced to die in 1957 for the hammer slaying of a neigh- bor woman in Hartford, Reid ught a long Les to have his execution date, "his sentence commuted to life imprison- on death row, as Reid it, was counting the 439 rivets in the frame of his seven- ~seven steel cell, trying to the emotional ups and downs that came with his many stays of execution, and getting to know--and like--the prison's most notorious convict --"Mad Dog" killer Joseph Taborsky. WELCOMED DEATH Taborsky, who with his men- retarded sidekick, Arthur Culombe, was tried at the same time as Reid, was "a man who seemed to welcome the execu- tioner as others might welcome the mailman," said Reid. On the day of Taborsky's ex- ecution, the two men walked as usual in a small yard adjoin- Broken Radios Delay Returns In Manitoba WINNIPEG (CP)--The out- come of deferred elections in two Manitoba provincial ridings may rest with the Indian pop- ulation in the giant northern constituencies of Rupertsland and Churchill. A breakdown of radio com- munications Friday night halted collection of returns with much of the Indian vote still to be reported in the two ridings, both held by government sup- porters in the last legislature. On the basis of incomplete re- turns, re-election of Progressive Conservative Joseph Jeannotte was indicated but still in doubt fo Rupertsland. Liberal F. L. Jobin, a former cabinet minis- ter, led his Conservative oppo- nent in Churchill. The count in Rupertsland with 4 of 35 polls reported: Jean- notte 720; Liberal Reginald Mc- Kay 162; New Democratic Party candidate Thomas Ham- ilton 68. Mr. Jobin had 1,676 votes with 20 of 37 polls reported and Progressive Conservative Gor- don Beard 1,473. TORIES IN FRONT Voting in the other 55 con- stituencies took place Dec. 14. Over-all outcome of the election was not affected by Friday's vote since the Progressive Con- servatives won 33 of the 55 seats. The Liberals won 13, the NDP eight and Social Credit one.

"I think they should give me a handful of corn to make popcorn when they pull the switch!" Taborsky then told Reid ser- jously that he was "'gonna come back as a fly" after his death. That night, after hearing over! the radio that Taborsky had been executed, Reid lay on his bunk with his eyes closed. "When I opened them again, to my astonishment, there was a fly walking on the ceiling. It was May, and flies don't usu-' ally appear until later. "As the fly flew to the wall. I did not know whether to speak it er put my illow. Soon it flew out of cell, and I regained my senses." Summing up his life on death row, Reid said: "For the individual con- demned to this fate, his life is divided into moments of normal thinking which are then trans- formed into horrible, nightmar- ish thoughts without any reason. It is the equivalent of sitting in! a dentist's office day in and day out, only you might multiply that anxiety by one hundred to find the true feeling." Weatherman Promises U.K. Brief Respite LONDON (AP) -- The worst winter in memory eased its icy grip on Britain today as a slow thaw continued over most of the country. Blizzard conditions prevailed in Poland and howling winds poked icy fingers around Genoa and the Italian coast. In and around London public transport services were back al- most to normal and the weath- erman gave promise of some brief sunny intervals. It was still generally cold with temperatures only a few degrees above freezing, and patches of freezing fog formed. It will take days before the huge drifts in many country dis- tricts finally disappear. Helicopters still were flying mercy missions--dropping food to isolated communities and fod- der to cattle and transporting people to hospitals.

GROUND STATION CURES BRAIN FEVER By ALTON BLAKESLEE NEW YORK (AP)--The great new feat of the space age is a service station operating from earth. It cured Telstar, the ocean- hopping television satellite, of a kind of brain fever that had knocked it out of action for six weeks since Nov. 23. The stupendous thing is that it was done while Telstar whizzed around the earth out of reach at heights of 592 to 3,501 miles. The story is told by Bell Tele- phone Laboratories engineers. Telstar was launched July 10, and seized public imagination by: beaming brief television pro- grams to Europe and back. But in November, Telstar be- gan refusing to answer com- mand signals from the ground to on on power to relay sig- nals, MOSPITAL 723-2211 Kato play Then the service station came Bell engineers knew Telstar would encounter radiation in the Van Allen belts. Telstar equip- ig was designed to withstand But Telstar ran into radiation 100 times stronger than antici- pated, they said. Radiation can affect the surface of transistors. It can create ions, or charged particles, from gases or solid materials in a transistor. The ions can collect on the surface of the semi-conductor and cause harmful electrical changes. The effects become worse if a voltage is present. The voltage serves to keep the ions concentrated. And storage batteries could supply such a voltage. But the tranststor can recover if either the radiation is re- moved or decreased, or the vol- tage is removed or decreased. Under the high radiation en- countered, the ionization appar- lently was hitting hard particu- larly at one or more transistors in the decoder in Telstar' the circuit that receives and acts upon command signals from the ground. MUST TURN OFF A solution, the engineers fig- ured, would be somehow to turn off the storage batteries: to stop the voltage and let the tran- sistor recover. But the decoder is the thing that receives the commands, They turned to laboratory ex- periments, exposing a similar decoder to radiation, to learn exactly what happened. The laboratory decoder developed the same kind of trouble or fever. By elimination, the en- gineers found what portions of the circuit were most sensitive to radiation and voltage, and came up with one prime sus-jed pect. This was a transistor in the Telstar Jolted To Life cognizes the "zeroes" in the one-and-zero code. by which commands were received by the satellite. In the satellite code, a "one"' is a long pulse, while a "zero" is a short pulse. But .the trou- ble seemed to be in the tran- sistor which ecognizes the zero: MIGHT FOOL IT A trick code might fool the ailing tansistor, they reasoned. It might be induced to "think" that a long pulse with a dip or notch in the middle of it was really a short pulse. In the la- boratory, this trick code did fool the transistor. The engineers devised equip- ment to send "notched. pulse" commands.

The first -:planeloads of new armored equipment arrived here in two United States Air Force C-124 transports Friday night for shipment to Elisabeth- ville, the capital of the seces-| sionist province, and Jadotville, its second largest city which UN troops captured Thursday. Meanwhile, Ralph Bunche, chief aid to UN Secretary-Gen- eral U Thant, named three new objectives in the UN operation planned to achieve "freedom of movement" for the United Na- tions throughout Katanga. This goal "will be achieved, I hope, without further resis- tance, but it will be achieved," Bunche declared. Bunche, who arrived here Fri- day night, named the three ob- jectives as Kolwezi, a big Ka- tangan mining town and air base; Sakania, a Katangan rail- head on the Northern Rhodesiaz border, and ogg west on the Angola bor- er.

Costs For UN Congo Force Said High UNITED NATIONS (AP)--A| jal UN official said today that costs of the UN force in The Congo would be "somewhat higher' than ordinary because of mili- tary operations in Katanga province. He said no estimate yet had been made as to how much higher the costs would be. But he declared there was no evi- dence that the United Nations would have to change its esti- mate that they would average $10,000,000 a month. The Congo operation, he said, is being financed now out of the sale of a $200,000,000, 25-year, two per cent bond issue, be- cause there have been no as- sessments of member countries for that purpose since the end of June, 1962.
