Ranger 5 Moon Probe Fails After Power Loss
The United States third moon mission attempt, Ranger 5, lost power eight hours forty four minutes after launch from Cape Canaveral. Damaged solar panels likely caused by radiation from recent high altitude nuclear blasts left the 755 pound camera craft unable to correct course or operate its television instrument or quake sensor.

Oil Industry Fares Well In The 87th Congress
In Washington the petroleum industry fared well in the 87th Congress and prospects look similar for the 88th. Senate attempts to cut the 27.42 percent depletion allowance failed, several import curbs bills drew attention but passed none, and a trade expansion amendment also failed. President Kennedy may tighten import controls as pressures mount, with Sen. Russell Long outlining seven steps including keeping the import quota, limiting Mexican and Canadian imports, tying imports to domestic production, protecting domestic share, adjusting West Coast quotas, and including liquefied gas products and Puerto Rico imports in controls.
