Telstar on Job as Eyes of the World By ALTON BLAKESLEE, AP Reporter NEW YORK Telstar, America's new chatterbox satellite, zoomed through space today on its pioneering mission to bring the world a new voice, ears and eyes.

In triumphant baptism last night, it sent television pictures spanning the Atlantic to France and England, as well as into U.S. homes. And it relayed a telephone call from Maine to Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson in Washington as loud and clear as the best of local calls. VJJSJ a "nfc.

Then for an encore, the versatile Telstar only a yard wide simultaneously transmitted news stories at a clip, relayed photographs perfectly, and supplied two-way telephone calls with perfect aplomb from a 3.000-mile height in space. Remarkably clear TV pictures were received in France. French TV officials planned to beam a return program to the United States late tonight Montand, several views of Paris, and a message from Jacques Marette, French communications minister.

In Britain, faint and fleeting pictures were picked up as Telstar received, amplified and reradiated the program beamed into space from a powerful horn antenna in the little town of Andover, Me. The first telecast via space opened with a view of the American flag rippling in the breeze. Telstar's first feats were a Seen in France when the first signals were beamed to and from the United States satellite Telstar. The picture was transmitted from the U.S. station at Andover.

It added he will be charged with the coordination of the national defense departments and will carry out those functions he is expressly ordered by the president of the government, whom he will replace in case of vacancy, absence or illness." Seven new ministers were named in the first cabinet changes Franco had made since February 25, 1957. The changes, which had been expected, were regarded as based on Franco's desire to strengthen the Council of Ministers and not resulting from any crisis.

Army, Navy and Air ministries were changed, as were industry, labor, education and information-tourism. One government observer said, "It looks like the monarchists, the church and the Army all came out substantially ahead at the expense of the right-wing Falangists. All in all, it looks like Franco is clearing the decks for progress political as well as economic." The old-line Falangists lost three civilian posts. There appeared to be a clear gain in prestige for the Catholic Action Group and the Roman Catholic Church. iui.dicu wcm uennany.

footed the entire $4 million cost of building, launching and tracking Telstar. Telstar was designed and built by the Bell Telephone laboratories. Only for 12 to 15 minutes on some of its orbits each day will Telstar be in "line of sight" vision between Europe and Maine to permit TV exchange. But one plan calls for launching a series of 30 to 50 similar repeater satellites, so that one or more always would be in position for relay of TV. telephone calls, photo or story and message transmission.

Europe, meanwhile, joined the United States in cheering the arrival of space-age tele -2 assigned to 4th ATAF because "this is a technical and tactical problem." The dispute about the U.S. nuclear bombers that once were stationed in France, they explained, was "a strategic matter." Protest Signs at Riverside Seen in England TELSTAR SPARKS CBS Snubs Boss in Telecast By Assocloted Press NEW YORK The Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) omitted from its coverage of the satellite telecast last night most of the remarks of Frederick R. Kappel, chairman of the board of the American Telephone Telegraph Co. Richard S. Salant, president of CBS news, conceded that the deletion was a sequel to protests by the network against serving as producer of the historic program.

He said that as a matter of principle CBS news does not believe that the principal party in a major news story should determine how it is presented to the public. Salant said that CBS, under its policy, turned down a bid by to present a special half-hour program immediately after the formal trans-Atlantic live telecast scheduled for July 23. The National Broadcasting Co. is scheduled to offer a Telstar program tonight, paid for by Salant said the deletion of Kappel's address in the CBS presentation resulted from the network's efforts to offer coverage that would differ from the pool telecast produced by LONDON A monitor in London shows the picture received from the United States satellite Telstar by British equipment in Coonhilly, Cornwall.

40 from Bord Ribicoff Will Resign to Run By Auociottd Prtit WASHINGTON Secretary of Welfare Abraham Ribicoff said today he will make a statement tomorrow night concerning his resignation to seek the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate from Connecticut. "I am returning to Connecticut tonight," Ribicoff said in an interview. "I will make a television speech Thursday night at which time I will make an announcement concerning the resignation." President Kennedy has said that when a vacancy occurred in the welfare cabinet post a successor would be selected and announced promptly. Ribicoff said he had no idea who will be chosen to succeed him.

Speculation has centered on Leroy Collins, former Florida governor and president of the National Association of Broadcasters, and Representative Edith Green after earlier rumors that Robert Weaver would get the job. Weaver, housing and home finance administrator, said last week he hoped he could remain he is and continue to work for creation of a cabinet level department of urban affairs. Speculation also includes many others such as veterans administrator John S. Gleason Jr. and Wilbur J.

Riverside Civic League to Open Drive The Riverside Civic League will begin a six-day campaign Monday to recruit members of that west-side area for a cleanup and safety program. The Rev. Robert Smith, 2440 N. Harding, president of the league, said the "total enlistment program" will seek the cooperation and commitment of all persons living in the Riverside community.

The area is bounded by East Riverside Drive on the west. 30th Street on the north. 16th Street on the south and the canal and Montcalm on the east. A statement will be distributed to residents outlining the league's goals to "improve and maintain the cleanliness, decency and wholesomeness of the community." According to the statement, the league "is concerned with homes being broken into, streets untidy and littered, automobiles speeding through the streets, children playing in the streets due to lack of adequate recreational facilities, sidewalks and curb stones broken, and increasing violence making it unsafe to walk the streets." Citizens will be asked to sign a commitment card pledging to work toward the correction of the problems cited by the league. Officers Elected by Toastmasters The Frank H.

Arsenal. Miss Hess Miss Hess, a lifeguard at the Almo Plaza Motel, 7750 E. Washington, spotted the boy's body about 2 p.m. in about 8Y2 feet of water. She yelled to two soldiers who were close to the boy to "get him." "I'll never forget the way he looked when they handed him to me," said the attractive blond.

"He was so blue and lifeless." The boy had apparently slipped from a plastic raft into the water. Army Pvts. Donald W. Heine, 21, North Caldwell, N.J., and Joseph F. Bennett, 19, Essex, guests at the motel, dived into the water and brought the boy to the surface.
