r
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-

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

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

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.
