told Kennedy that nobody but the
United States still believes East

raised his voice in the whole period
of discussion was when he talked
about Berlin and used the bone in

Practical, Working Rocket Belt
Now Lets Man Fly With The Birds
BUFFALO, N Y. (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
