'Talking Ball' Aimed At Moon May Send Back Lunar Facts NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) The first object the United States lands on- the moon will be a while "talking bait" 25 indies in diameter capable of telling us whether the moon ever gets the shakes. When will this happen? Sometime next year--if we're lucky. The part luck will play was admitted Thursday by James D. Burke, manager of Project Ranger, which is the U.S.

space agency's first effort to send a rocket to the moon. "ff we're lucky enough to get one of the first three moon-bound Rangers to its destination we'll be happy," Burke said at the first public showing of the moon capsule. That, he said, is why the first three lunar-aimed Ranger vehicles are identical. The $200-million Ranger project includes nine space vehicles. Tne first, launched last Aug.

Kennedy administration have widened into a new area--responsibility for inflation. Steel leaders have crossed swords with the President over whether a rise in steel prices this fall would set olf another, wage- price inflationary spiral. Tliis would put still another pinch on your pachetbook.

The President fears that a sled price rise when wage scales go up next month would start such a spiral because "steel is a bellwether as well as a major element in industrial cosls." rather than pnmiirily at any threatened or actual ic.siraml ot trade. Big business lends to lie critical of government labor policies, lest they favor wage rises that will senrl operating costs higher and thus further pinch profit margins.

At 50,000 feet a retro rocket will lire, slowing the ball so il hits Ihe moon at a speed of 70 miles an hour. Burke said the Ranger series wonld provide four different kinds of information men will need be-1 lore they land on the moon. 1. Cameras will tell what the surface of the moon like. 2.
