Washington AP reports a continued drop in power aboard the Relay satellite forces indefinite postponement of communications experiments including an international Christmas television show. NASA cites abnormal power drain and possible short circuit in the 172 pound satellite, delaying efforts to establish a worldwide space communications system. Relay, launched Thursday, follows Telstar which failed after four months of operation. NASA says the low power will prevent experiments unless the condition improves.
