Associated Press stan Writer


A three-star generals ap-
parent slip of the tongue has
disclosed that a small atomic
explosion can be used to neu-
tralize thermonuclear warheads
on ballistic missiles.
Involved is the principle of
neutron flux, but the details
of the technique are classified
top secret. Even after it was
mentioned publicly, research
officers declined to say any
thing about it.
1t. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau,
the Army's chief of research,
made the disclosure yesterday
during a movie-news confer
ence on development Of the
anti-misSile missile, Nike-Zeus.
Missile Intercepted
At this same movie-with-
questions conference the Army
also exhibited a one-minute
film clip showing the first
known interception of one mis-
sile by another.
The film showed a Hawk
anti aircraft missile, which
carried a conventional high
explosive warhead, shooting
down a short-range lombard
ment rocket called the Honest
John. The test was made
January 20 over White Sands,
N. Mex. The missiles collided
at a combined impact speed Of
about 1000 miles an hour.
Since the script with the
Nike-Zeus film carefully re-
Trained from saying a direct
hit was necessary to destroy
the warhead of an incoming
missile, Gen. Trudeau was
asked if this didn't imply a
means had been found to render
the warhead harmless.
Gen. Trudeau's answer was
"yes," the warhead could be
neutralized through the en-
ployment Of the neutron flux
principle.
He added that an explosion
