AP) The fizzle: of a deep Ranger space shot and failure to recover a biomedical package from the 'Pacific Ocean Saturday marred an otherwise successful week for United States rocketmen. The failure will delay an effort id land an instrument package on che moon.

During a heavy launching schedule in the last four days, ad- varices were made toward a space navigation system, a missile-killer rocket, spy satellites and a pushbutton war weapon. The biggest disappointment came Saturday after an Atlas-Agena rocket zoomed away from the Cape in an attempt to propel a 675-pound Ranger 2 spacecraft more than half a million miles into space. Purpose was to test techniques and equipment for future lunar and interplanetary mis sions. The Agena second stage settled into a "parking orbit" and in effect became a mobile launch platform in space. But when the proper time came to eject Ranger 2 on its planned deep space trajectory, the Agena engine failed to restart The Ranger separated but without required velocity, it remained in a low earth orbit, following the same course as the Agena.

The Communist party newspaper, apparently referred to the U.S. requirement that party members register as agents of a foreign government, but it did not say so.

Operational System The Navy predicts the system will be operational late in 1962. The piggyback, called Traac, carried radiation measuring gauges and a device being tested as a means of stabilizing satellites. Discover 35 roared into orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base, and the following day ejected a gold-plated capsule which was snared by an Air Force plane over the Pacific.

It was the loth recovery of a Discoverer capsule and improved the reliability of a system which is being developed for capturing instrument parcels from Midas missile detection and Samos reconnaissance satellites. After two previous failures, a Nike-Zeus missile killer rocket scored its first success in a launching from Point Mugu, Calif. Zeus is designed to seek out and destroy nuclear-armed enemy ballistic missiles. The Army plans to launch it against U.S. Atlas four days.

Songwriters of the North and South waged a fearsome struggle, firing an estimated 10,000 songs at each other. Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the verses beginning "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming! of the Lord," in a Washington hotel during a sleepless night on Nov. 21, 1861, was a towering figure in the musical war.

But many of the' others would have to be classed unsung heroes. Composer Failed Stephen Foster, for instance, tried many times but failed dismally to come up with a Northern war song, comparable to his great folk songs of the South. Although best known for Southern themes, the composer was a Pennsylvanian.
