plasma, little known Fourth
state of matter" has tremendous
implications" for national survi-
val in control of the H-bomb's fury
according to DR.. Sanborn C.. Brown
associate professor of physics at
the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology.
Iecturing before a gathering of
faculty and student scientists at
Tuskegee Institute Tuesday night,
DR.. Brown said that knowledge
about plasma - neutral collec-
ton of opposite electrical charges
is "far outweighted" by attempts
to use it.
Sufficient knowledge of it's ma
ture would provide a system for
controlling the energy of the n.y.
drogen bomb and for successful
inter-stellar space flight.
For this reason, both the Unit
ed States and Russia are racing
its Investigations in the area of
plasma physics, he said.
This country's Argus Shot -
hydrogen blast in the ionosphere
two years ago demonstrated that
missiles operated under an inert
ial guidance system could pass un-
detected if proceeded by such a
blast.
This is so, said DR.. Brown, be-
cause the hydrogen blast at the
edge of the earth's atmosphere
produced plasma shield around
the earth, making it impossible
for radar systems to detect in
ertially-guided missiles.
The exceptions to this condi-
ton are at the north and south
poles where the radiation struc-
ture is such as to clear up the
plasma shield at the poles, making
detection of missiles by radar pos
sible.
Today's thermo nuclear fusion
systems which would control
the energy of the hydrogen bomb

causes the systems to produce far
