Soviets Launch
7tli Sputnik
MOSCOW W» — The Soviet
Union launched Saturday the
seventh unmanned earth satellite
of its current summer series. The
launching was announced by Tass,
which said the Sputnik carried
various scientific instruments.
The Sputnik is called “Cosmos
“Analysis of the first informa
tion sent back by the Sputnik.’’
Tass said, “shows that its instru
ment is functioning normally.”
The series of Sputniks, accord
ing to a program announced March
16, is to provide information about
such things as the earth’s mag
netic field, cloud formations and
radiation belts. The latter point is
being studied, Tass said, “with a
veiw of estimating radiation haz
ards for long space flights.”
So far, the Russians have re
leased no information which may
have been amassed by the six
Sputniks already launched in this
series.
Saturday’s Sputnik circles the
earth once every 90.1 minutes, Tass
said, and at its lowest point the
Sputnik comes within 130 miles of
the earth. At its highest point,
the distance is 230 miles. Weight
and size of the newest satellite
was not listed.
SENATE COMMITTEE
MAKES "SHAMBLES” OF
JFK’s TAX REVISION BILL
HAMILTON, Ont. Ub — A
Hamilton mother, 30, said Satur
day she took the now-banned drug
thalidomide before giving birth to
deformed twin boys in January.
The mother, who has four normal
children, is rearing the twins at
home and says she will never part
with them.
The twins Peter and Paul, born
at St. Joseph’s Hospital here, have
deformed hands, arms and legs.
It was not until almost four
months after the birth that the
mother read a report of the birth of
a deformed child in Toronto and
began to suspect the drug. She
said her obstetrician confirmed that
she had tr'.ven the sedative before
the twins were born.
