trial
‘Algiers 7’ police
postponed until March
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — A federal
judge has postponed until
March 7 the trial in Dallas of
seven New Orleans policemen
charged with beating up blacks
during a tense investigation of a
young officer’s slaying.
Attorneys for the policemen
asked for a six-month delay in
the trial, originally set for Feb. 7,
because a segment of the Jan. 16
“60 Minutes” reported on the
case.
But U.S. District Judge
Adrian Duplantier, who earlier
this month agreed to move the
trial to Dallas, postponed the
proceedings only 30 days.
The policemen, who came to
be known as the “Algiers 7,”
were charged with violating the
civil rights of blacks whom they
had questioned about the 1980
slaying of patrolman Gregory
Neupert.
Within five days of Neupert’s
death in the city’s Algiers sec
tion, police investigators had kil
led four blacks. Two of the vic
tims were described as suspects
in the case.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, Calif, said the satellite
is in a polar orbit circling the
earth every 103 minutes.
The Infrared Astronomical
Satellite is designed to search
distant stars and galaxies from
the heat they give off.
Scientists say that when it
reaches polar orbit (560 miles
above the earth) it will be far
beyond the infrared-absorbing
molecules of water vapor and
carbon dioxide in the atmos
phere, and will be able to detect
distant heat sources.
“If it works the way we expect,
we ought to be able to survey 95
percent of the sky in the in
frared,” Gerry Neugebauer, the
American science team leader
for the project said.
Scientists said some objects
expected to be visible to the tele
scope include the center of the
Milky Way galaxy, which is hid
den from view by dust clouds;
the birth of stars from the col
lapse of superheated clouds; the
deaths of stars as they exhaust
their nuclear fuel; dense mole
cular clouds in space between
stars and objects — including
other galaxies — far beyond the
Milky Way.
The heart of IRAS is a tele
scope designed to detect in
frared energy as faint as 1 mil
lion of a trillionth of a watt per
square centimeter.
Weighing 1,782 pounds, the
satellite’s key detector unit will
be cooled by 125 gallons of
helium to minus 455 degrees
Fahrenheit to minimize the
effects of infrared emissions
from the satellite itself.
IRAS, which is 12-feet high
and 7-feet wide will collect 900
million bits of information dur
ing its 14 daily orbits. Twice a
day, during passes over tracking
stations in England, it will fire its
information back to earth at the
rate of 1 million bits per second.
Officials said that some of the
information it sends back will be
examined immediately in Eng
land and the full data will be sent
by a communications satellite to
JPL for extensive processing.
