Prof Robert H. Goddard Of Clark
College, Worcester, Mass. was In
Chicago today. He is the inventor of
the multiple-barreled. sixty plus
horsepower augmented and magnif1ed

the moon and possibly other planets
Prof. Goddard says the propulsion Of
his rocket will be by means of a
series CT rapid explosions throughout
the journey. which will counteract
the force Of gravitation that would
draw the rocket back to earth.
A rocket weighing 1,200 pounds,
started at sea level at speed of 1000
feet a second and increasing it's speed
fifty feet a second as the hundreds of
charges exploded, would weigh one
pound when it reached the moon.
Prof. Goddard has. completed work.
