Space telescope camera to track capsules with record precision
An Air Force team in Cape Canaveral demonstrates a television telescope far surpassing radar. The 23,000 pound camera on a gunsight frame photographs satellites and moon craters at high resolution, and could map the world from a satellite with one foot error in 200 miles. It may allow TV audiences to watch Walter Schirra's Sigma 7 capsule separate from the Atlas booster.

A 7 percent tax credit for new machinery aims to spur investment, with an expected 1 billion dollar cut in 1963, but net revenue falls short by about 545 million annually.

Investigation Targets Slayers Of Two On Ole Miss Campus
A Justice Department spokesman said an intensive investigation is under way to find the assailants who shot and killed Paul Guihard and Walter Gunter during rioting at the University of Mississippi. Ballistics tests were not yet complete to confirm if the same pistol fired both shots. Guihard, of Agence France Presse, was found near a girls dormitory and the Lyceum, while Gunter died after a head wound near the riot area. Federal deputies state they fired no shots, using tear gas and night sticks to disperse crowds.
