ARC Presents
New Concept
In Rocket Fuel

Atlantic Research Corp. of
Virginia yesterday presented a
radical new concept to the
House Science and AStronauticS
Committee for a space rocket.
Arch C. Scurlock, ARC presi-
dent, proposed a "gel-solid" fuel
with the texture of toothpaSte.
ARC has pioneered in solid pro-
pellantS. but now suggests the
slurry would simplify the COM
plex process used to make solid
fuels.
The "gel-solid" material
would be stored in trays inside
the rocket. 1t could be made
anywhere in the country and
shipped by tank car to the
launching pad. Its advantages
would be cheaper cost and sys-
stem simplicity. Neither the
United States nor Russia now
uses a fuel of this nature for
rockets, and ARC describes it
as a significant advance in
rocket technology.

They're kept inflated by a

"As director of one of the

is more than academic. In ad-
dition to price-fixing convic-
tions in the one industry and
conflict of interest charges in
the other, Congressional COM
mittees have turned up in still
other industries evidence of
widespread collusion between
corrupt unions and equally
corrupt management"
