Awaits Action
NEW YORK (AP) — A tentative agreement was
* reached Sunday in a week-old strike agakist Consolidat-
I ed Edison Co., but the 20,000 strikers won't be back to

7 in New York City and Westchester County.
* The constitution of the striking Local 1-2, Utility
7 Workers Union, AFL-CIC), requires that printed copies of
- any agreement be mailed to members, who then must
7 have at least 72 hours to consider it. A vote is set for
; Friday.
7 Nearly norma! service has been maintained dur-

: Satellite Passes Test
CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) - OAO 2, America’s
7 robot astronomer satellite, successfully passed a critical
engineering test Monday when six star trackers needed
to aim the craft’s telescopes were turned on and func-
tioned properly.
“Everyone is really pleased. It looks like a good
bird,” said a spokesman for the National Aeronautics
. and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight Cen-
* ter in Greenbelt, Md.
Officials said three of the tracking sensors aboard
I the craft — named OAO 2 for NASA’s SECOND Orbiting
* Astronomical Observatory — locked onto specific stars
- as planned. The other three star trackers were turned on
" to assure that their electronics worked, but were not
7 commanded to search for stars. The craft’s 11 telescopes
are scheduled to be switched on Wednesday.

Relief High
Marshall County ranked
below only Oklahoma and
Tulsa Counties in the num-
ber of emergency relief
checks issued last July, state
public welfare department
records showed Monday.
An investigation into Mar-
shall County's emergency
relief record three months
ago was followed last week
by the filing of absentee bal-
lot charges against three
Marshall County men.
The welfare department's
July report showed 48 emer-
gency relief cases that
month for Marshall County,
'with a 1960 population of
7,263.
' Oklahoma County, with a
1960 population of 439.506.
showed 361 cases. Tulsa
County, 346.038 population,
listed only 104 cases.
Welfare Director L. E.
Rader said he was not sur-
prised by Marshall County’s
comparatively high number.
“That's the reason we cut
them off in July,” he said.
The investigation was
made after it was learned
some candidates for public
office were recommending
an unusually large number
of emergency relief checks
be issued by the welfare de-
partment.
