Blowing out the flame should lorce the missile to fail, and per haps make it fall bark and ex plode on home soil. Ne one is certain this "blow ing out" is possible. But scientists do know that a missile flame Isn't continuous. It goes on and off. If they could find out how to fo cus electromagnetic waves of the right type at long distances and if there is a right type they'd be on the way to a redhot weapon If this idea does prove feasible, t might some day be possible with the proper equipment in sat ellites aoa miles up to stop Soviet ballistic missiles before they get started. V S. defense scientists also are toying with another eerie missile destruction idea. They recall Enrico, Caruso was able to destroy wine glasses by singing just the right note. The "correct" sound caused the glass to resonate or vibrate in such a 1 7 , S Am mm THIS WOULD if the mo ment at which an attempt would be mad I "blow out" the missile's flame. way that it tore itself apart. Pentagon scientists conjecture it might be possible to hit a speed ing missile with just the right fre quency to cause a missile to shake itself apart. Even now, scientists at industri al laboratories are working en molecular resonance. They're try ing to learn the exact frequencies at which molecules vibrate in vari ous materials. They want to know what frequencies to insert into these materials to cause a change. Such an electromagnetic wave. even if it didn't destroy a missile. might alter .its insides. If the mis sile contained an atomic bomb, the oroper wave might change the fis sionable material a little and make it non-explosive. If the scientists can figure out the right wave, now to make it go several hundred miles, and how to "aim" it, they may have something. These ideas, even if workable. probably would not be practical before 1978. But U S. defense men already are pushing studies en a rush basis, why? Top U.S. strategists have decid ed there is no foreseeable defense against the intercontinental ballis tic missile In blunt terms, Nike-Zeus and other potential anti-missile sys tems are expected to be about "one hundredth" as effective as what's necessary to protect U.S. cities against missile attacks in the mid I'KO's. The strategists therefore see no defense against these missiles within the next 10 years. They think trickier missiles will be developed faster than schemes for shooting them down. They're not satisfied with fear some retaliation as a deterrent. They don't relish seeing major U.S. cities laid Bare even ll iney know they can "burn" twice as many Soviet cities. So along with fearsome retali ationthey've decided on a new and desperate gamble. They re preparing to inrow mil l;ons into new research protects so fantastic some have not even shown uo in the comic books. The Pentagon thinkers have a host of ideas they want to loo into. They g.imble one will pay otf. They're sure Nike-Zeus never ill .... except as a lead to something else. These men reason inai a Ballis tic missile at 15 MO miles an hour has enough energy in its speed to burn itself up. just as a satellite or meteor burns when it hits the atmosphere The problem: how to slow the missile quickly enough so it will overheat and burn. . Scientists are toying with the possibility of using the earth's magnetic field, or electrons trapped in trot new, or mint mv.
