Moon Shot Fails; Power Supply Fouls Up Murder of Grimes Sisters Still Unsolved CHICAGO HI Seven years ago three young Chicago boys' naked, blood-flecked bodies were found sprawled in a northwest suburban forest preserve ditch. The triple murder of Robert Peterson, 14; John Schlessler, 13, and his 11-year-old brother, Anton, triggered the most widespread investigation in a quarter-century. Thousands of persons were questioned and hundreds of thousands of man hours were spent investigating the crime police termed the work of either a mad-man or a gang of older youths. Then last Nov. 27 the Cook County Chicago coroner's office closed the case: "Murder by person or persons unknown." Since then police have questioned 100 more suspects and $25,000 rewards for the killer or killers are still posted.

Death came from strangling, the coroner's office said, although the boys had also been cut or beaten about the head. Their deaths were the first of a series of child slayings that has rocked the city. The three were found Oct. la 1355. On Jan.

22, 1957, the Grimes sisters-Barbara, 15, and Patricia, 13 were found beaten, naked, dead in a ditch alongside a southwest suburban road. On Aug. 15, 1357, the dismembered body of Judith Mae Anderson, 15. was found in Montrose Harbor on the city's north lakefront. On Nov.

12, 1960, Gloria Kowalewicz, 9, disappeared while en route to Saturday mass at a Southwest Side church. A few hours later her mauled, bullet pocked body was found in a forest preserve, a few miles from the place the Grimes sisters' bodies were found 46 months earlier. Not all of the crimes were termed sex killings. But each of them remains a puzzle. Mrs.

Peterson said she still keeps in touch with police, "Sometimes they call me when they've turned up something new But they haven't called she said.

Hoefert is to be a panelist in discussion of planning, zoning, a laboratory spokesman nnexation and subdivision control By RALPH DIGIITON PASADENA, Calif. (API The United States' third straight attempt to scout the moon by television has because of damage to the Ranger 5 lunar rocket by radiation from recent high altitude nuclear blasts. The 755-pound camera-toting jacecraft, launched Thursday rom Cape Canaveral, ran ut of electrical power eight hours nd 44 minutes later. Scientists said this meant it ould be unable to correct its ourse and would miss the moon 300 miles. It also meant Ranger 5 would ot be able to operate its television camera nor to land a uake-measuring device on the moon's surface.

Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Lab- ratory, which built Ranger 5 and tracking it through space, said the spacecraft apparently failed to raw electrical power from its ing-like solar panels to operate instruments. Power Falls Its only source of power then ivas a small reserve battery with life of eight to nine hours. That jattery went dead just as scientists were trying to command the spacecraft to fire a small rocket that would re-aim it at the moon. Cause ol the failure of the solar power system was not announced there was unofficial speculation by some space experts that the craft's delicate solar cells could have been damaged by radiation from recent high altitude nu- lear blasts over the Pacific. "It's too early to say what went said.

"We may never be sure. All know at the moment is that he spacecraft failed to get power rom its solar panels." Radiation of the kind emitted nuclear explosions sometimes trapped in the dangerous belt radiation surrounding the earth. langer 5 had to go through this belt on its flight toward the moon. Tills was the third straight failure in the hard-luck Ranger program to scout the moon elec- ronically for upcoming manned moonships. Ranger 4 crashed-landed on the back side of the moon last April failure of a tuning device prevented it from sending back television pictures.

Too Much Speed Ranger 3 gathered too much speed at launching last January and missed the moon by 22,000 miles. Rangers 1 and 2 were test vehicles not aimed at the moon Four previous moon shots, in the Pioneer and Able programs failed in their missions to rocket a payload to or around the moon With each Ranger launch run rung about $16 million, total cosi of the nine failures was estimated to exceed $150 million. A source at Cape Canavera said the sixth Ranger spacecraft scheduled for launching in Janu ary, probably would be delayed while the string of failures is studied. If all had gone well, the Ranger 5 would have taken more than IOC pictures of morning at the moon a distance Sunday ranging from 2,600 miles down to 15 miles Without electrical power on board, Ranger 5 cannot eject the capsule. Instead, scientists said the spacecraft will shoot past the moon and go Into an orbit around the sun.

Industry economists have predicted thai the current business expansion will flatten out by the end of the year and turn down in the 'irst quarter of 1963, the Business Council was told today. The decline was expected to be slight than $2 bil- ion from the record $560-billion annual rate of national output Oreseen by the end of this year.

After this dip of less than one- hird of 1 per cent the economy vill "begin a renewed expansion in the second half of 1963," the 00 top industrialists attending the 'all meeting of the Business louncil were told. Along with the report, there was revived "talk of federal tax cuts boost the economy as the council met with Kennedy administration officials. The report was brought to the council by F.R. Kappel, chairman of American Telephone Telegraph and head of the council's economic policy committee, rle was relaying the findings of ivhat he called "the great major- ry" of the council's panel of more than 20 private industry economists who advise scores of the nation's biggest corporations. Kappel included in his commit- report a recommendation for reducing "the oppressive burden taxation on risk-taking, profit- oriented investment." Kennedy Is Campaigning In Illinois Today By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (AP)-Presldent jumped back on the campaign trail today, smack in he middle of some of the toughest political scraps in the nation this fall.

He took off on a three-day swing at 10:49 a.m. with a schedule toay calling tor: A noon speech In downtown Cleveland, with probable plugs for The Urges 'Basic Steps' report urged that this 'basic step toward restoring the ost vigor of our economy" be in- luded in the tax revision program which President Kennedy las announced he will send to Congress in January. Kennedy las said the overhaul will include net tax-rale reductions on personal incomes and corporate earnings. Kappel told the council that the clash between the government and the steel industry over last spring's proposed $6-a-ton increase in steel prices seemed to many to represent government interference which bore "adverse implications for profit prospects, business confidence, and business investment." In Washington, official concern about the lagging economy was mirrored Thursday in an unusual move by the Federal Reserve Board to increase the lending power of the nation's banks. The easing of 9redit will be ac complished by reducing the amount of money member banks must keep on hand as reserves backing saving and prime deposits.

The reduction was the first of its kind since June 1954, See No Recession At Hot Springs, some members of the Business Council told news men privately they foresee no early recession but believe strong medicine will be likely a cut in income and cor poration tax shift the economy into high gear. Administration leaders hen look the slightly more optimistic view that steady if unspectaculai gains can be expected for nine months or more. But Chairman Walter W. Heller of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, who addresses the council known to favor tax cuts deep enough to give a strong stimulus to business and consumer demand. In a radio interview broadcast Thursday night (CBS Capitol Cloakroom) Heller recalled that President Kennedy is committed to proposing a substantial tax reduction next year.

"We need it the economy needs it to make use of the potential it has," Heller said. Council members, whose names are among the biggest in big business, took little comfort from Secretary Of Commerce Luther H. Hodges' prediction at a Washington news conference that business will be better next year. GNP Rises Hodges reported that national gross national product, or dollar value'of all goods and services $3.5 billion to an annual rate of $555.5 billion in the July-September quarter. This was below the rate foreseen by the council's consultants at their May meeting here, and much below the January forecast made by Heller and other administration advisers.

Under the action taken by the Federal Reserve Board, required reserves will be cut from 5 per cent of deposits to 4 per cent next Thursday in New York, Chicago and other major citise. The reduction will become effective in smaller communities Nov. 1. This will make an additional $767 million available to the banks. Since they generally may lend $6 for every $1 of surplus funds on hand, this means their lending potential will be increased by about $4,6 billion.

Bishop Hazen G. Werner of Columbus, Ohio, told the fourth Na tional Methodist Family Life Con ference today: "You can build more church buildings, acquire more members expand your organization and programs, but Christianity itself wil fail if it fails to prevail in the home." He said the church may be the place where religion is taught, bu it is the home where it must bi lived. He said 83 per cent of a child's time is spent in his home 'We must condition our children in our homes to the priority of tin spiritual," he said. Bishop Werner said basic to familial love is respect. "I have no hesitancy in saying that respect is the cornerstone of successful marriage and family But he added, "To treat a child with respect does not mean an absence of discipline or the pres ence of unlimited permissive ness." He said respect for a chile means treating him as a person He asked his audience to ere ate family traditions for Christian living.
