Yep. Prune the top.
You would need to break the candles or decandle. Look it up and study it. Not sure what type of white pines these are, I think they are not Pinus Parviflora?
This is important to know as the technique per type of pine can be different.
This is a good article about pines in general .

Note the difference between single flush and multiple flush pines.
