US. Plans to Set
 Off Underground
 Nuclear Explosion

WASHINGTON M = President Kennedy approved plans today for an underground nuclear ex- plosion in New Mexico as part of the nations program to develop peaceful uses for nuclear energy.
 The White House said the ex- plosion probably will take place in about SO days, some 1900 feet below ground In salt formation near Carlsbad, NM.
 The blast will be the first in the Atomic Energy Commissions Plowskare Program to evolve uses for atomic explosives Prepara- tions have been under way since March 1860.
 'sThis is a further example of this country's desire to turn the power of the atom to Esan's wei fare rather than his destruction" the White House said.
 Observers from the Soviet Un- ion will be permitted to watch the test if they choose.
 The United States SO far has set off three underground explo- sions in Nevada in military tests which were renewed after Russia ended a three-year moratorium Sept. I and fired the first of more than score of atmospheric explosions.

Radio BIuckout
Plusmu Created

Scientists at Melpar, Inc, of
Falls Church have developed a
laboratory device that creates
a hot gas-like state called plaS-
ma which causes space vehicles
to lose their radio voices as
they re-enter the atmosphere.
The device may permit SCI
entists to find ways to over
come these blackouts. The
blackouts are an important
headache today and may be-
come critical in manned
flights in the winged Dynasoar
space ship. a successor to the
Mercury program.
Scientists do not want to
lose communications with the
manned ship during the i'm
portant re-entry period. But
as ships re-enter the atmos-
phere they develop great heat
which causes a plaSma sheath
to build up.
Plasma is a fourth state of
matter that acts differently
than gas, liquid and solid mat
ter. In plaSma, widely sepa-
rated atoms lose some of their
electrons and do not recon-
olne. AS a result, plasma is
electrically neutral and halts
radio signals.
