Around the World
Launching of Ranger May Be Space Stride
CAPE CANAVERAL—(UPI) The United States will open a new era in its exploration of the moon within a few days by attempting to put a launching platform into orbit and then use it to hurl a probe more than 500,000 miles into space.
The shot, dubbed "Ranger I," ranks as probably the most complex ever tried by the United States.
It probably won't come closer than 35,000 miles to the moon with its 675-pound space probe, but scientists hope it will pave the way for future shots that will land instruments on the moon's surface.
The shot will involve putting a satellite into a "parking orbit" 115 miles up, then triggering the main space probe from the launching platform at just the right time for a flight deep into space.
The Soviet Union achieved a space spectacular by using a similar "parking orbit" technique last Feb. 12. A Russian rocket sent Sputnik VIII into a path around Earth, and triggered a 1,418-pound probe from it.
SAN FRANCISCO —(UPI)— A stubborn forest fire in the Mt. Umunhum and Loma Prieta Peak area continued burning out of control Monday despite the efforts of 800 firefighters and their aerial support.
Fire Out of Control
The fire, which already had destroyed 7,000 acres of brush, was bombed by borate tankers Sunday and Monday. The Hidden Falls Girl Scout camp northeast of Santa Cruz was evacuated Saturday as a precautionary measure.
Bowles Off on Trip
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Undersecretary of State Chester Bowles left Monday for an 18-day trip to confer with U.S. ambassadors in Africa and Asia.
Care Hearings Start
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The House Ways and Means Committee Monday began two weeks of hearings on President Kennedy's controversial plan to provide hospitalization and nursing benefits for about 14 million persons 65 or older.
Abraham A. Ribicoff, secretary of health, education and welfare, was the lead-off witness as the administration opened its drive for a congressional showdown next year on the medical care legislation.
Beasley Assumes Penn State Duties
Kenneth E. Beasley, assistant director of the Governmental Research Center at the University of Kansas and widely known for his organization of in-service training schools for local government personnel, has accepted appointment as associate professor of political science and public administration at Pennsylvania State University.
Prof. Beasley has organized annual schools for city managers, city clerks, county clerks and peace officers. He also has served as consultant in state government. He holds three degrees from K.U. He has taught here since 1849.
His duties at Pennsylvania will be similar to those here, teaching and consulting with state and local government units.
The Beasleys and three sons, Kenneth E. Jr., Russell and Ronald, left Lawrence Saturday.

Buying Spree in Britain
LONDON — (UPI) — Prospects of higher taxes caused a buying spree in Britain Monday and brought criticism of the Queen's vachting trips.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Senate Foreign Relations Committee called a "mopping up" session Monday to stamp final approval on its 4.3 billion dollar version of President Kennedy's foreign aid request. Barring last-minute hitches, the group was expected to approve the bill and send it to the Senate, where debate may begin later this week.
In anticipation of increased taxes on consumer goods, Britons flocked to stores selling television sets, washing machines, refrigerators and second hand cars.
Laborate Member of Parliament Norman Dodds said Queen Elizabeth's trips aboard the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht Britannia in a time of economic crisis were "disgraceful and unnecessary."
Shrine Studied For Hemingway
HAVANA — (UPI) — Ernest Hemingway's widow, Mary, "came home" Sunday night to explore the possibility of turning the writer's Cuban farm into a memorial.
She came here at the invitation of Premier Fidel Castro's government and was met at the airport by Castro's personal envoy, Minister Ramon Aja.
"I came home to discuss with the government the possibility of making our farm, La Vigia, a sort of museum in his (Hemingway's) name." Mrs. Hemingway said.
The Hemingways spent much of their time in recent years at La Vigia before the writer died earlier this month at another home in Idaho.
It was learned that Premier Castro has ordered that nothing be touched at the farm, and everything there is exactly as it was when Hemingway left for the last time a few months ago.
