They will search until they find it-- although with so spacious a hunting-ground, they admit, it may be'a while yet: The non-communicative com- munications satellite was sent aloft from Cape Canaveral, Fla., last Thursday amid hopes it would achieve an orbit that would make it appear to hover motionless over a spot in the south Atlantic. While the around - the - earth orbit was achieved, the satel- lite's radio transmission came Seized Cheques Stolen From Oshawa Plant *. TORONTO (CP)--The Metro- politan Toronto police fraud squad has seized thousands of stolen cheque forms and blank driver's licence forms in what they describe as the breakup of one of the largest forgery mills ever uncovered here. Two Toronto men are under arrest on multiple charges of forgery, passing forgel cheques, theft and receiving stolen goods, Police said Monday the ac- tion broke up a province-wide "eheque mill" which has duped to an abrupt halt. Nobody has heard from it since. What is known is that it is 22,300 miles above the earth, and that it's probably in orbit. With that to go on, a spokes- man for the National Aeronau- tics and Space Agency said in is under way. CAMERAS SEEK SYNCOM The space agency's chief hopes rest with about a dozen Baker - Nunn cameras--radio- telescopes being operated around the world by the Smith- sonian Astronomical Observa- tory, with a financial boost from NASA. "Assuming the satellite is in orbit, we also are assuming that it will eventually return to the approximate point where it was injected into orbit," the spokesman said. "Sooner or later, we'll find it. The camera will take a picture of a mighty small point of light that shouldn't be there. It might fool them and be something else--but it might be the Syn- com." The cameras are focused on the spot where the satellite spot 180 degrees around the world, the NASA official ex- plained. while there may be some false alarms, chances of eventually locating Syncom are good. Also being used -- but with only a slim chance of success, he said--is the radar apparatus of the North American Air De- fence Command. kicked into orbit and another) an interview today, the search| 7 R.

Official U.S. administration estimates are that there are about 17,000 Russians in Cuba at present. Highly - qualified informants said that there was "no deal Vote Candidates Ranks Fill Out whatever" involved in the la- test development and that the Soviet government had not pro- posed or demanded any price for the reduction of its Cuban force. Last Nov, 20 Kennedy re ceived a note from Khrushchey saying that a number of Soviet combat units associated with the Soviet nuclear missile and jet bomber bases would be with- drawn "in due course." The number of troops which would be withdrawn under the new Kremlin assurance was not precisely known but speculation turned on the point that several thousand would mean by defint- tion at least 3,000 and that the total could be more than that. The Congress members wlio met with Kennedy declined for the most part of talk with re- porters at any length about the session. Almost a score of legistators, given only a couple of hours of advance warning of the secret session, slipped in and out of the executive mansion, avoiding reporters.

Hon.

But rockets--presumably nu- clear-tipped--for the battery are jin American custody and "will not be handed over until emergency has arisen.' Similarly, nuclear bombs for the Canadian Starfighter strike reconnaissance force would be released to the planes only in} "! time of need. "Canada is fulfilling her com: mitment by providing the planes, and the trained pilots," Mr. Churchill said. 'That's what we were asked to do." WILL REVIEW ROLE At the same time the role of Canadian armed forces in Eu- rope will be reviewed in the light of "new concepts and changing defence postures" in- herent in a multilateral nuclear force agreed on at the Nassau meeting last year between Pres- ident Kennedy and Prime Min- ister Macmillan, Mr. Churchill did not elabor- ate on this point.

Mr. Churchill said Canada has made "'practical proposal" to bring this about. But any agree- ment reached must "assure that Canada's Sovereignty will] be maintained." Mr. Churchill said policy matters of national defence defence cannot remain static. "When the most rapid tech- nological changes are taking place," he said, 'defence pol- icy must be flexible to meet the changing tactical and stra- tegic considerations, particu- larly so in an alliance (NATO) comprising 15 nations."
