Army Tests 'Worheod' On Bombers
 Guided Missile
 Designed To Go
 Off in Formation

Washington. July 10 - (UP)- Army ordnance experts are working on guided missile designed to ex- plode in tf1e midst of an attacking enemy bomber formation with highly destructive effect, it was revealed today
 The Army would not give details of the missile but it may be the long sought counter weapon needed 10 offset the offensive advantage held by huge bomber formations loaded with atomic bombs.
 A guided missile that would ex- plode with tremendous force in the center of a bomber formation would force an enemy to fly his planes alone or in widely dispersed forma- tions This, ordnance experts say, would make bombers vulnerable to attack by fighter aircraft.
 Ma. Gen. Everett s. Hughes, chief of Army ordnance, in an- nouncing Army plans, did not speci- fly what explosive charge would be used in the guided missiles war head. But the only explosive known at present that could cause wide enough burst to do the job referred to by the Army is the atomic bomb.
 The Warhead also could use the principle of the proximity fuse e. veloped by the Navy to explode 1t when it came in the vicinity of the enemy bomber formation.
 Hughes said research on the Weap- on is being conducted at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. He said rockets with a potential range of 200 miles are being tested at the White Sands Proving Ground, N. M.
 Hughes predicted that the rockets of the future may be capable of travelling thousands of miles. He said an Arnly-Navy commission is searching the Caribbean, Pacific and United States areas for a range where 2000-mile rockets could be tested
 Long planning by ord nance scientists, however" the Army said, forecasts the ultimate range of guided missiles to 10000 miles-weapons capable of cireling the globe.
