P. reporter who tapped many iouree for this authoritative evaluation.) million to Zeus development, but the program is still plagued by money problems. The last congress appropriated $137 million for the program but to date the army has refused to accept the funds. The Pentagon, which obtained a copy of this story before publication, complained it 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 congress 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," he said. An army source in Washington explained there is now a technical re-evaluation of the Zeus program under way which is due for completion April 1. WASTE OF MONEY He said the army had refused to accept the money on the grounds that it is for pre-production items and unless the department of defense intends to go forward with the $13 billion Zeus production program, the army does not intend 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 1963.

However, the air defense school is currently training a few men to become instructor's instructors. Theoretically it might be possible to place a Zeus battery in the field to counter intercontinental ballistic missiles late in 1963, but there are certain hitches. The Zeus system is still a research and development project 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 manufacturing lead time of approximately four years. To date no money has been appropriated by congress, or set aside by the defense department, for production of these items.

And work on the Zeus system still proceeds on a 40-hour week, with some minor exceptions. In this age of ballistic missiles more and more military men are concluding that the side with the most effective defense will be the theoretical winner in a thermonuclear conflict. SHROUDED IN SECRECY On that reasoning, the side which first develops a good missile defense will otbain a measure of military superiority: -there will be more survivors around to pick up the pieces and continue the fight, even if they have to do it with spears. Ever since the first disclosure that the United States was working on an anti-missile missile, the 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 offi- See NO MISSILE DEFENSE Page 11, Col.

1 By BEM PRICE P. Newsfeatures Writer) (A. WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N. 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 scientists and military men here, at the army ordnance missile command in Huntsville, and at the army air defense school, Ft. Bliss, Tex. The informants declined to be identified by name. One of these sources said that under present schedules the army's anti-missile, the Nike-Zeus, could not possibly be called operational before 1964 if then.
