u. Called DefenseIess
Against Missile Attack

/ proceeds on q 4O-nOur week,
with some minor exceptions.
The antimissile program has
been shrouded in secrecy.
Since February the Army's
technical people here and at
Huntsville say they have been
trying to give the Nation an
official progress report on Zeus
They have even prepared an
liz minute movie on the first
test flight of the weapon.
PentagOn Hides Facts
These progress reports and
the movie are based on ma
terial which som technical
people say has long been de-
classified, at least so far as
White Sands and Huntsville
are concerned. But the Penta-
gon has not released this in
formation.
Some of this information has
been made available. through a
sort of under-the-table and
don't-quote-me arrangement.
The Zeus missile itself is
simply, a big brother to the
present antiaircraft missile,
the e-Hercules. Zeus is de-
signed to operate in space as a
guided missile with an atomic
warhead.
Pictures of the ZeuS indi-
cate that it is a three-stage
vehicle consisting of a booster
to get it off the ground swiftly,
a sustainer engine to speed 1t
on its way and the warhead
section. All are propelled by
solid-type fuels.
The most radical design
departure is the first-stage
booster, housed in a single
chamber, which hikes the Zeus
to 10000 feet plus faster than
the eye can follow. The Her
cules has a smaller. four
barrelled booster.
Intercept Hostile Missiles
Repeatedly the Zeus will be
able to intercept an incoming
missile 200 miles from the in
tended target area. ~
To build the Zeus, scientists
had to overcome two technical
difficulties.
The first is heat. The Zeus
has the same problem climbing
out of the atmosphere as an
ICBM does on re-entry.
The warhead of an ICBM
travelling at $4,000 m,p.h. is
heated to a temperature meas
ured in thousands of degrees
by friction with the atmos-
phere. After years of research
the scientists finally designed
an ICBM warhead which would
not burn up like a meteor.
While zeus' outgoing speed
will be less than that of an
ICBM, it also has a friction
heat problem. Scientists here
believe they have the problem
licked. How. they won't say.
Guidance Control Problem
The second major problem is
guidance in space. AS 1t passes
through the atmosphere, Zeus
is controlled by vanes, some
thing like ailerons on an air.
plane. In space, however, the
ailerons won't work:
This guidance problem re-
portedly has been solved by in
cooperating tiny rockets in the
warhead which can be trig-
gered from the ground to
change its fight path.
The heart and brain of the
Zeus is its huge fully auto
mated four-radar system,
powered by two 5,000-kilowatt
diesel generators, One picks up
the missile 10 minutes after
launching. This radar may be
fset up far forward of the Zeus
Launching site. The second, or

WHITE SANDS MISSILE
RANGE, N. NJ, Oct. 24.-The
United States will be defenseless
against ballistic missiles for
another four years. probably
longer.
This estimate is based on a
series Of interviews with scien-
lists and military men here, at
the Army Ordnance Missile
Command in Huntsville. Ala,
and at the Army Air Defense
School, Fort Bliss, Tex.
The informants declined to
be identified by name. One Of
these sources said that under
current schedules the Army's
anti-missile missile, the Nike
Zeus. could not possibly be
called operational before 1864
II then.
/. Development ALLEGATION
|. Since October, 1856, the
Army has allocated nearly $450
million to Zeus development,
but the program is still plagued
by money problems.
/. The last Congress appropri-
ated $137 million for the pro-
gram but to date the Army has
refused to accept the funds. An
Army source is Washington ex-
blamed there is now a technical
~e-valuation of the Zeus pro-
gram Under way which is due
for completion April l.
The Pentagon, which OBJ
tanned a copy Of this story be-
fore publication, complained 1t
gave the impression that the
military high command was
dragging its feet on the missile
program.
; A Pentagon spokesman said
the Army hadn't asked for
money appropriated by Con-
'gress for the Zeus program
simply because the Army
wasn't ready to use it.
He also insisted that the
ARMY is going ahead on an
urgent" basis to develop the
,ZeuS system. THE drive TO get
it done is urgent, not casual, B"
he said.
Fears Waste Of Tax Money
He said the Army had re-
fused to accept the money on
the grounds that it is for pre-
production items and unless
the Department of Defense in
tends to go forward with the
t$13 billion Zeus production pro-
gram, the Army does not in
tend to waste the taxpayers
money.
The series of interviews also
produced this information:
The Army Air Defense
School will not begin to train
instructors in the basic Zeus
system until 1960-61 and will
not graduate the first class of
field operation specialists until
1868. However. the school is
training a few men to become
instructors.
Theoretically it might be pos
sible to place Zeus battery in
the field to counter interconti-
mental ballistic missiles late in
1868, but there are certain
bitches.
Sill a Research Project
The Zeus system is still a
research and development prof.
.ect and a final, production line
design has yet to emerge.
Even so, work on the Zeus
is far enough advanced for the
engineers to have determined
"a future need for certain items
which require a manufacture
ing lead time of approximately
-four years. 1 a
To date no money has been
appropriated or set aside for
production of these items. And
work on the Zeus system still

Exploded on Test

All the foregoing Is what the
Zeus is supposed to do. On its
first fight test August 26 the
4O0, 0O0-pound thrust booster
on the Zeus prototype exploded
a few seconds after launch.
A second test Of the zeus
October IA was mostly success
full, though in this case there
was a minor malfunction in
the second stage sustainer en-
CINE which caused the missile
to fall short of its planned i'm
pact area.
Still the scientists here be-
lieve the Zeus will work and
that it will have a high degree
Of reliability. One general pre-
diets the Zeus ultimately will
be able to intercept IS per cent
of its targets.
Obviously, however, ZeuS
still has a long way to go. After
a series Of additional tests here
none full range-the Zeus
will be hauled to Point Mugu.
Calf, for long-distance control
tests.
The final test will be a shot
from Kwajalein Island in the
mid-Paciflc against ICBMs
fired from Johnston Island,
/ $50 miles east of Kwajalein.
If the Kwajalein tests work,
the Zeus then will be declared
operational. There is, however.
a wide gap between the time a
weapon is declared operational
and the actual placing of a
ready-to-shoot system in the
field, especially one as complex
as that planned for Zeus.

intermediate radar, is to eStab-
lish the speed and course OF
the enemy missile.
When the incoming missile
Is nearly within range, Zeus Is
launched. Two relatively short
range but precise. radars-
probably the most precise in
history-now come into play.
One tracks the missile. the
other guides the Zeus to inter-
cept the enemy missile.
Decoy Missile Feared
And this brings UP another
problem: Decoy missiles. Pre-
sumably the enemy viii fire
decoys along with its warhead-
carrying ICBMs in an effort to
disperse the defense.
One of the Zeus engineers
said, I'VE are building into the
system the mechanical ability
to discriminate between the
decoy and the real missile.
There has been very little work
in this field. however, and the
theoretical and analytical rub
is to find out the characters
tics of decoys. We feel we have
the mechanism to use the in
formation on decoys when 1t
becomes available"
Once the Zeus warhead is in
space, the scientists claim 1t
should be able to accomplish
it's mission without achieving
q direct hit. They talk of
"neutralizing" the enemy's hy-
drogen bomb-packing warhead.
There the talk stops.
