A-10 Honolulu, Nov. 20, 1966 THE SUNDAY STAR-BULLETIN ADVERTISER 'Perfect Reception' in Isles During Live, 2-Way Telecast By ROBERT RILEY Advertiser Staff Writer Hawaii became a full participant in the 20th Century yesterday with the first live, two-way television broadcast between here and the Mainland. Islanders lucky enough to be near a television set saw the Irish of Notre Dame battle the Spartans of Michigan State to a 10-10 tie. And Mainlanders lucky enough to be in out of the freezing cold caught 90 seconds of bikini-clad wahines sunning themselves at halftime on the beach by the Hawaiian Village lagoon. It came about via Lani Bird and through the efforts of the Communications Satellite American Telephone Telegraph Corp, the American Broadcasting and KHVH-TV.

For many, it was not only the first time they had seen a big-time college game live and in color on television. It was also the first time they had seen such a game without. knowing the score beforehand. Except for some minor difficulties in sound transmission from the Mainland, the broadcast went off without a hitch. was beautiful," said Gerald Payne, vice president of operations for Hawaiian Telephone Co.

"Couldn't have been better." For football fans, here's today's lineup of games, including another live-and-direct transmission from Lani Bird satellite: -TELEVISION 8:45 a.m.-Green Bay vs. Chicago (NFL); KGMB, Channel 9, live--via Lani Bird. 1:00 -USC vs. UCLA; KHVH, Channel 4, -St. Louis vs.

During the half-time intermission in the game, Skip Calhoun, HTC public relations director, placed a call to Comsat in Washington, D.C. "How's Hawaii look to you?" He asked the girl who answered the phone. "Is the picture okay?" "Wow, is that Hawaii! The picture is beautiful." It was SO good, in fact, that Comsat is hoping to place the text of KHVH-TV announcer Mason Altiery's 90-second narration in the Congressional Record. And next Saturday, the always exciting, battle between Army and Navy will be seen live and in color Russ Ignore Opposition, Vow Meet SOFIA, Bulgaria (UPI)-The Soviet Union and Bulgaria vowed yesterday to campaign for a world Communist congress on China despite heavy doubts among some of their most important allies.

Bulgarian Communist Party Leader Todor Zhivkov Thant Says He Favors Yule Truce UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI)-Secretary General U. Thant said yesterday that he has taken no initiative toward any Christmas truce in the Viet Nam fighting but that he favors such a ceasefire. Thant added he would support a truce proposal if one is made, as expected, by Pope Paul VI. Thant made the remark after a meeting with Piero Vinci, Italy's permanent delegate to the United Nations.

Vatican sources have said the Pope will seek a second and longer Christmas truce in the Viet Nam fighting. The Pontiff reportedly hopes that a U.S. halt in bombing of Communist North Viet Nam would be a first step toward the Christmas truce. Thant declined a direct answer yesterday when asked whether he thought a bombing pause would bring Hanoi to a peace conference. But he said he was convinced that a cessation of the bombings would create a conciliatory atmosphere.

The United States halted raids against the North for 37 days last December and January. Pope Paul was instrumental in bringing about last year's brief truce in ground action. Thant also said he would decide by the end of the month whether to stay on as secretary general after Dec. 20, the scheduled end of the current General Assembly session. Pope Paul was said to hope that a truce this year might begin well before Christmas.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Friday he knew of no present plans for a ceasefire. and executives in a state of quiet desperation. As it turned out, however, when the game ended at 11:08 a.m., Lani Bird was good for another 15 minutes or so of transmission. Lani Bird is a 192-pound, drum-shaped satellite originally designed by Comsat to be placed in orbit 22,300 miles over the Gilbert Islands. Its speed of 6,900 miles per hour would have matched that of the rotation of Earth.

This would have caused it to hover over the Gilberts, enabling it to become a fulltime relay station for television and other forms of communication. However, when Lani Bird was launched Oct. 26, it went into a cigar-shaped orbit ranging from 1,840 to 000 miles above Earth, making it appear to rise and set over the Pacific like the sun or the moon. Consequently, it is only of use during the few hours it is in line of sight of transmitting stations on Earth. Yesterday's transmission was handled in the following manner: Remote television facilities at East Lansing, fed the broadcast signals into lines, which carried them to a microwave transmission facility at Brewster Flats, about 150 miles east of Seattle.

For most viewers, the game itself provided more than enough suspense. But for the men responsible for the transmission of the battle from the HTC building on Alakea St.

to KHVH-TV, the game was only half of it. They all knew there was a chance Lani Bird would sink below the horizon before the game ended, cutting off transmission from the Mainland.

Hundreds Flee As New Floods Menace Venice VENICE, Italy (UPI) Emergency crews raced against the clock yesterday to bolster shattered sea walls of the Po River delta before the raging Adriatic Sea could sweep farther inland.

Officials warned that the lagoon city of Venice, stripped of its defenses against the swirling floodwaters by the Nov. 4 storms that battered one-third of Italy, would be helpless in the face of another major storm. High winds and stormy seas that already have forced evacuation of 10.000 residents of the vulnerable Italian delta area and flooded 37,000 acres of land with salt water, abated somewhat yesterday. But unless good weather holds for the estimated four or five days needed to repair the sea walls, officials warned the Adriatic could surge 25 miles inland to the provincial capital of Rovigo. The worst of the breaks in the 50 miles of dikes protecting the Po delta from the sea was near Scardovari, where the Adriatic battered a gap 262 feet wide and 37 feet deep.

To the north of the delta, nine emergency centers were set up to patch weakened dikes. nals were amplified and transmitted to Lani Bird. Lani Bird, in turn, retransmitted the signal to Paum alu, Near Sunset Beach. Then, by means of microwave repeaters at Mt. Kaala and Wahiawa, in direct line of sight with Honolulu, the broadcast was received at the HTC building on Alakea St.

From there, the program was beamed to KHVH, in direct line of sight of the HTC building, by means of a small, dish antenna. The 90-second broadcast from Waikiki to the Mainland was carried out by simply reversing the process. In both cases, the transmission of an image more than 5,000 miles took a third of a second. According to Lawrence S. Berger, president and general manager of KHVHTV, the broadcast of the football game ordinarily would have cost the station about $13.500.

But because Comsat offered to give Hawaii two weekends of trial runs of programs from the Mainland, the cost amounted to only $500. "It's a gesture for which we are very grateful," said Berger.

More than 50 persons were arrested.

The mob rocked cars and splattered them with eggs, blocked traffic, turned in false fire alarms and ignited strings of firecrackers after gathering to protest a 10 p.m. curfew for persons under 18 years. Authorities barricaded a four-block long area of the Strip to all auto and pedestrian traffic. Shortly after midnight, sheriff's deputies invoked the unlawful assembly law and ordered the mob to disperse. The deputies then swept through the crowd of bearded, longhaired troublemakers with nightsticks flying, forcing them to leave the area.

No injuries were reported but a woman said she was knocked down by advancing deputies and her male companion said he was hit by a nightstick. Both were arrested. Also arrested was Bill Tilden, 33, manager of Pandora's Box, a teen-age nightclub, which has been a focal point for teen-age pro- 915 LOS ANGELEST suspicion of battery against Sheriff's deputies said a police officer after he al- they arrested 17 juveniles UPI Photo Juveniles seize bus in last week's riots. tests against the curfew and legedly interfered with an police.

No Clues Yet in Hunt For Accused Killer of 2 SILVERTON, Colo. (UPI) -The FBI said yesterday it had no clues in its nationwide manhunt for a high school dropout who is charged with the murder of a Phoenix, couple. The suspect, Thomas Julius Sergent, 25, was charged here Friday with the murders of Milton D. Moeller, 56, and his 55-year-old wife Mildred. Their bodies, each with a bullet wound in the chest, were discovered Nov.

Erickson set bond on two Federal charges brought against Sergent-unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and transporting a stolen car across state lines. Erickson set a $10,000 bond on the unlawful flight charge and $5,000 bond on the other count.

In another development, San Juan County Sheriff Jim Dougherty said he believed the Moellers were shot to death with a .45 008 Charles Okamura from closed his party's ninth congress by proclaiming a meeting on Red China "the must of our time." In Moscow, the Soviet government newspaper Izvestia ignored opposition to the idea and claimed that "the overwhelming majority of fraternal parties" favors a conference. A conference, Izvestia said, is a "burning necessity." It predicted its recalcitrant allies will "come to the common conclusion of the necessity of the unity of actions." Bulgaria became the first ruling Communist party to make support for a conference a plank in its official policy. Observers said this step made the just-concluded six-day congress a milestone in international Communist history. The congress also provided the West with a rare display of public disunity on a major point among the "fraternal" parties of the world. The Soviet party leader, Leonid I.

Brezhnev, praised Zhivkov's proposal, and 31 speakers from other parties loyally added their vote for a conference. But Romania opposed the idea, and speakers from 13 other parties, including four ruling parties, ignored it entirely. This indicated either opposition or grave reservations among a third of the parties and led observers to doubt any conference could be held. There was speculation the Soviets may have erred badly in supporting the conference. A condemnation of China, to be effective, would require almost unanimous support by the rest of the world's parties.

There were signs the Kremlin overestimated support for the idea. If the Soviets and Bulgarians plan to back down, however, there was no sign of it yesterday. emphasize that conditions are ripening to convene a world congress of the Communist Party," Zhivkov said. "We stress that this is the must of our time." Izvestia, echoing Brezhnev, said that "it is not only chance that a number of fraternal parties have been expressing recently that the time is ripening to convene another world conference This is a tested means of strengthening the unity of the movement." and one adult on the Sunset Strip portion of Sunset Boulevard. Los Angeles police said they took into custody 12 juveniles and more than 25 adults on the boulevard just east of the Strip.

The Strip is county territory while the city is responsible for policing the boulevard east of it. Authorities said the new disturbance appeared to be triggered by older youths, around 20-years-old. Police and deputies, reinforced by the entire 69- member graduating class of the sheriff's academy, adopted a get tough policy to avoid a repeat of last Saturday night's outburst in which more than 2.000 youths attempted to set fire to buses and broke windows along the Strip. Most of the juveniles were arrested for curfew violations while charges against the adults ranged from assault to failure to disperse. A weary police officer said those arrested were "bailing out as fast as they come in Red Guards Warned By Peking Provincial officials estimated only about 1,000 persons were left in the villages of the Po delta which have been repeatedly battered by the sea and the river in recent years.

An estimated 10,000 already have been evacuated and moved to refugee centers in nearby Padua and Verona. The area was alerted for a last-minute evacuation of the few who have stayed behind mostly fishermen who have moored their boats to the tops of their flooded houses. The sea-level Po Delta was devastated by 1951 floods that claimed 273 lives and left 223,000 homeless. Families have been leaving the area steadily since then and thousands of the current evacuees said they did not intend to return to the delta. This time the threat comes from the sea and not the river.

The Po River Authority said the mighty northern Italian river did not present any danger. Damage to the delta area from this month's storm has been estimated at $32 million so far. It was calculated that if there were no further flooding it would take three months for the waters to recede and three years for the land to be arable again. caliber automatic pistol.

Child Custody Appeal Denied WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court yesterday turned down the appeal of a father who was denied custody of his 8-year-old son on grounds he was "arty, Bohemian and either an agnostic or atheist." The high court acted without comment in refusing to review an Iowa Supreme Court decision awarding custody of Mark Wendell Painter to his maternal grandparents. The father, Harold W. Painter, 36, is a Brookdale, free lance photographet. Their bullet-punctured and bloodstained camperpickup truck was found abandoned Oct.

23 in Del Norte, about 170 miles east of Silverton. Witnesses in Del Norte said they saw a young man abandon the truck, walk to a bus station, and buy a ticket to Omaha, Neb. A ticket clerk in Denver, Georges Strijek, said he believed he exchanged the unused portion of the ticket in Denver for cash. Yesterday, Strijek was shown a picture of the wanted man and said "give the man in the picture about a week's growth of beard and a little bushier hair on the side, and that's the boy." Sergent has been in and out of jails since 1958. His police record began when he was 13 years old.

The suspect is described as having a swarthy, pock-marked complexion, about 5-7 in height, with a shock of bushy brown hair and brown eyes. His mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Uchwald, live in the Detroit suburb of Madison Heights. TOKYO (UP I)-Chinese Communist authorities have warned riotous Red Guard youths against taking the law into their own hands, Japanese correspondents reported from Peking today.

Stories published here said Communist authorities issued "stern warnings" against lynch mobs and kangaroo court trials allegedly conducted by the teen-age bands spearheading Chinese Communist Party Leader Mao Tse-tung's so-called cultural revolution. Issued in the name of the Peking City Committee of the party, the warning told Red Guards to keep away from factories, mines, schools and government buildings. It also warned them to refrain from violence and not to hold unauthorized "trials" of persons suspected of opposing Mao. "Such acts would be considered contrary to the party regulations, and any one held responsible would be punished severely," the Japanese correspondents quoted the warning as saying. It was not clear whether the warning was issued with the approval of Mao or his -apparent, Defense Minister Lin Piao.

Lin has supported the Red Guard terrorist activities as part of a nationwide campaign to wipe out all western influences in China and crush element? opposed to.
