(AP)A prac tical, working rocket belt, torn from the pages of science-fiction, has made a reality of mankind's age-old dream of flying with the birds. A twist of a throttle, a turn of a lever, and man leaps from the ground, his own personal rocket belt strapped to his back. He ho vers in the air, he flies over riv ers, he flits up a hill that would leave him breathless to climb. Ills support is a twin-nozzle thrust ot hydrogen peroxide steam. All this was revealed today by Bell Aerosystems Co., which de veloped the belt called a Small Rocket Lift Device for the Army Transportation Research Com mand. Photos of a test eogineer, Har old M. Graham, in personal flight with the man-rocket showed him easily leaping a fire truck, han dily swirling up a hill, casually jumping a stream. In 30 successful test flights this spring, Bell said, Graham achieved a speed of about 20 miles an hour. His longest nor izontal flight was 360 feet. He did not try for any great altitude, but the belt carried him up a steep, au-iooi-nign mil witn ease. Bell has held the Army develop ment contract since last summer, but Wendell F. Moore, director of Bell's man-rocket research pro gram, has been dabbling with the Idea since 1954. "The current device is stricllv a feasibility model designed to prove that lightweight rocket pow er can lift a man and transport mm over tne ground in controlled flight," said Moore. The rocket belt is powered by hydrogen peroxide. When forced Into a gas generator where it meets a catalyst, it decomposes into steam. Discharged through two nozzles directed toward the ground, this steam provides the thrust. The position of the nozzles, set out from the sides of the device, plus the low temperature of the Slender Clues Found In Slaying Of Women JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
