Newspaper Page Textr issile, Nuclear VJarhead Destroyed in Unsuccessful Pacific Launch Honolulu IUP1) U.S. scien tists destroyed a Thor missile and its nuclear warhead two minutes after they were launched Tuesday night in an unsuccessful attempt to ex plode the highest nuclear de vice In history. Parts of the missile fell back onto Johnston Island and nearby Sand Island 800 miles south of Hawaii. But officials said no personnel was in jured, nor was there anv damage or danger of radio activity. It was the second failure in U.S. efforts lo explode a rocket - borne, h i g h-altitude device. Plans called for it to have been detonated at be- w usk Resumes Talks ith French Leaders Kennedy and de Gaulle mitilit i Tuesday and the secretary of Paris - (UPI) - Secretary of State Dean Rusk conferred anew with f rencn govern ment leaders today amid re ports that President Kennedy and President Charles de Gaulle might meet later this year to try to resolve differ ences between France and the United States. Rusk, who conferred with de Gaulle Tuesday night, met at the Quai d'Orsay with French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville this afternoon. They continued discussion of major causes of disagree ment between the United States and France which Rusk already had reviewed with de Gaulle. Among these issues were France's plans for an inde pendent nuclear striking force, the Berlin situation, European unity, and the European Com mon Market. Rusk had de voted the morning to discuss ing NATO problems with rep resentatives of the Western I alliance. American officials said I hat meet later this year but French officials said such speculation was "premature." The Americans said nothing had been set up yet but such a development would be a "logical" result of the talks here between Rusk and high French officials. Rusk and de Gaulle talked for an hour and IS minutes state later said it was "most interesting." Other American officials described it as "ani mated and friendly." But reliable sources on both sides said the conference ap peared to have made no prog ress toward sweeping away the deep disagreement be tween the United States and France over nuclear policy.

Stockpile Target Claimed Juggled fense mobilizcr juggled stock pile target objectives merely to hoost the price of zinc. William N. Lawrence told j Senate Investigators that a ! four-year, $117.3 million zinc purchase program was "noth ing more than fl price support program." The additional spending, he testified, began in 1954 under directives Is sued by the former president. In J 956, Lawrence said, De fense Mobilizcr Arthur S. Flemming instructed him to find another way to hike the zinc objective when targets set under the president's di rective proved insufficient. "We changed the estab lished procedure to set target figures in order to find a ba sis for continuing the pro curement of zinc," Lawrence told Sen. Stuart Symington's armed services investigating subcommittee. Symington branded K lem ming's action a clear violation of the stockpile law. The stockpile law never was in tended and did not authorize - minerals purchases for the purpose of stabilizing prices, ! the Missouri Democrat said. Symington asked Lawrence: "You say regardless of any defense requirements, instruc tions were given by Dr. Flem ming to buy more zinc, is that your testimony?" "Yes. sir," Lawrence re plied. Probe Continues in Property Shortage tween 100 and above the earth. The nuclear warhead was in the one megaton range equivalent to about one mil lion tons of TNT. As in the previous high-altitude failure, June 3, scientists were able to destroy the device without causing a nuclear explosion. Officials of Joint Task Force 8 gave no reason for Tuesday night's failure. In the June 3 attempt, the failure was attributed to a malfunc tion in the tracking system. Moscow Radio commented: "There are now two Ameri can nuclear bombs resting on the ocean bed, threatening shipping in the area and the health of the populations of the Pacific Ocean islands." President Kennedy ordered i the current Pacific test series three months ago, disclosing that Russia had got the jump on the West by testing nu clear weapons at an altitude of more than 100 miles. Three or four high altitude tests had been scheduled in the Pacific. But officials did not say what effect the two failures would have on this schedule. An official announcement from JTF8 headquarters in Hawaii said: "A Thor booster was 500 miles launched tonight at about 12:47 p.m. (PST) carrying a nuclear device designed for one of the high altitude tests in the current U.S. test se ries at Johnston Island. "But due to a malfunction in the system, the nuclear de- Roque Valley Edition Page 2-A MedfordWTribune vice was purposely destroyed without a nuclear detonation. "The debris fell Into the open sea well within the safe ty area which was previously designated. There was no dan ger to test personnel. There will be no danger to human life or hazardous levels of radioactivity in the ocean." The failure was nearly a duplicate of the first attempt on June 3. However, the latest one apparently was in trouble from the start and was destroyed in less than 120 seconds after launching. J FT 8 had cleared out a dan ger area 2,342 miles wide at 40,000 feet, extending above the Hawaiian Islands, but said there would be no danger to ground-level viewers who had headed to high vantage point? in Hawaii to witness the blast. Mid-Pacific military and commercial flights were rout ed around the test zone, and the detonation was expected to cause a blackout of radio frequencies in the Pacific for 18 to 32 hours.
