u. S. Nova Rocket Engine
Will Lack q Big Vehicle

still-unassembled sum. they are
fantastic. Items
The gas generator, a kind
of starting motor for the F-ls
fuel pump, is only about as
big as a Volkswagen engine
and some so pounds lighter
yet it develops almost as much
power as the RedStone engine
to be used this spring to give
the first Mercury Astronaut his
initial ride into space and back.
The fuel pump itself-only
five feet long and four feet in
diameter-will develop enough
horsepower C6O,0O0) to propel
a Navy cruiser. The pumps
job will be to cater to the
Unsuitable appetite of the
thrust chamber, which will
swallow three tons of propel-
liant every second for about
two and a half minutes.
Fuel Problem
The gluttonous demands of
the thrust chamber constitute
one of the biggest problems
for designers of the Nova We
hicle, such as spacemen hope
will send crews to the moon
in the 1970s. The problem can
be expressed this way:
If the Nova rocket uses six
FL engines to develop 9 mil
lion pounds thrust, this means
18 tons of propellant will be
used every second. Now, 18 tons
of the Els particular fuel
liquid oxygen and rocket-grade
kerosene-means 1900 gallons
Of the former and $500 gal
Ions of the latter.
But this 11,700 gallons will
be the rockets consumption
for only one second, and the
engines are designed to work
for 21a minutes. This means
that the airframe engineers for
Nova must build fuel tanks
big enough to contain 1% mil
lion gallons, and strong enough
to hold the weight of this fuel:
about 5.4 million pounds. It
would take q tank-car train
almost ~ miles long to fuel
the thirsty monster.

liquor and entertainment for
United States embassies and
legations abroad. The situation
would be Sweeter and less ex-
pensive if the diplomats served
lemonade and sugar instead of
liquor, he suggested.
Cites Varied Application
Representative Rooney, New
York Republican who heads
the House Appropriations sub
committee on State Depart
ment funds, denied that most
on all of the representation al
lowances go for liquor. He ex-
planned that the annual allot-
mentS must cover a wide range
of entertainment and ceremo-
nial functions including July
4 celebrations. But he admitted
that Scotch, bourbon and mar
,tinis "are tools of the trade" 3"
AS for the requested $4,000,
Mr.. Rooney said the money
was needed mainly for newly
established diplomatic posts in
Africa.
This isn't for any alcoholic
splurge on the continent of
Africa" he said. 1T comes to
only about 500 a month per
post. So it won't go for liquor.
Mr.. Gross and I could never
get along on that amount"
"At any rate" Mr.. Gross re-
torted, I'VE buy our liquor and
not at the taxpayers expense. ,"
Gross Move Defeated
A Californian, Republican
Representative league, stepped
into the breach with an offer
to send cartons of lemons to
Mr.. Gross and Mr.. Rooney Ito
win them away from their evil
ways"
The House then shouted
down the Gross amendment.
It dealt a similar blow to an
attempt by Representative
Hoffman, Republican Of Mich
igan, to block a $4,000 appro-
priation for a gold medal
which Congress last September
authorized for the poet. Robert
Frost.

Like the river that keeps
rolling along, the House has
stirred up its first 1861 flow of
annual oratory on the question
of liquor allowances for State
Department personnel abroad.
The $4,000 item at issue was
only a drop in the bucket in an
$803 ,906.118 supplementary ap-
preparation bill sent to the Sen
ate late yesterday. This meas
ure, the first funds measure to
go through the House this year,
provides additional money for
numerous Government agencies
and progra is for the re-
mainder of the current fiscal
year ending next June 80. More
than $500 million of the total
was needed for Federal employe
pay increases. "a
The requests came originally
from former President Eisen-
hover and totaled almost $l.3
billion. They were cut to $773,-
493,6l9 by the Appropriations
Committee. That slash affected
the $3.50 million extra recon-
mended for the Development
Loan Fund in the foreign aid
program.
No Move to Restore Fund
The House made no move
yesterday to restore the $3.50
million. 1t accepted the $773,-

Up to now in the space Age,
Americas No. problem has
been a lack of super-engines
to lift big loads into orbit. But
by the end of next year the
problem will change: A super
engine will be available, but
nothing for it to fly.
In the San Fernando Valley
Of Los Angeles, the Dig engine
is now taking shape. Firing
tests already have been con-
Quoted to determine how its
thrust chamber-heart of any
rocket-will work. A complete
engine will be ready for testing
by midyear, and by the fall of
1869 preliminary flight rating
tests probably will begin.
Still a COncel,t
This engine, the FL, under
development by the Rocketdyne
Division of North American
Aviation, Inc, is the heart of
Nova" Nova is the space
rocket with which the civilian
Space Agency hopes to wrest
supremacy in the weight-lifting
contest from Russia. But to
date, Nova is a concept" ac-
cording to the space agency
which means that no one has
gotten around to building an
actual rocket.
The FL engine is very much
o thing of here and now,"
however. It also is a thing of
superlatives, and 1t seems
something Of a shame that it
Is destined to lie idle, or at
best operate only on test
stands. for a good many years
to come.
Already-on February 10,
l961-the F-l's thrust chamber
has set a free-world, and pos
sibly a whole-world, record for
power output. For "a few

spokesmen guArdedly put it,

mia desert. The test was sue
cessful and the thrust chamber
was not damaged, they say.
Saturn Has Chassis
This thrust level of 1850, 900
pounds is minutely greater
than the 1.5-million-pound
output of Americas biggest
booster, the tested but still
flown Gnturn. Saturn'S
power comes from eight thrust
chambers instead of one, how
ever. Saturn's advantage is in
being more than a concept;
in having a flyable chassis
upper stages in the making
and plans for a payload to &c
along with its hefty power
plant.
About 5000 million has been
appropriated for Nova to date
Slightly more than half-$102
million-went to Rocketdyne
for development of the FL
The other $98 million included
such things as the building OF
test facilities, plus space agency
activities. over a period Of hall
a dozen years.
Perhaps the oldest single
thing about FL is that, big
as it is, it has never been
intended as an individual power
'plant for an American space
rocket-this despite the fact
that its lifting capacity will
probably be twice as great as
anything the Russians are be-
lieved to have used to date,
The Nova concept sees FL as
a "clustered" system like
Saturn-four or possibly six
engines hooked together to
generate 6 to 9 million pounds
Of thrust.
Engine Parts Exist
AS a unified engine, FL does
not yet exist. But its principal

BOWLING GREEN, OHIO,
Mar. % CAP) displaying ban
ners carrying such slogans as
I'VE Want Freedom" I" hundreds
Of Bowling Green State Uni
versity students began q class
room boycott today.
The campus in front of Uni
versity Union took on the ap-
pearance of q picnic as an esti-
mated 500 students spread
blankets to play cards and Ills
ten to portable radios. ~
They were only part of about
1000 students who ran wild
through the city's downtown
area last night in the second
OF two demonstrations. which
began Sunday in a water fight.
These grew into demands that
the university relax some regu-
Ilations students believe to be
too strict.1 -
Mid-term examinations begin
today, and Easter vacation
starts tomorrow. Not all. of
the students were in this morn
ing's "sit-out" demonstration.
One class where an exarnina-
ton was scheduled early was
fully attended. In another
class of 40 only 10 students
appeared.
Reform or Riot" and Down
with ,Dictators" were painted
on other signs displayed by the
students.
!. Take Minister'S Suggestion
After the wild demonstra-
tions OF the last two nights,
the students took a suggestion
Of q minister that a more
sedate denomination be held
to protest their grievances
against university policies.
The Rev. James Trautwein,
pastor of st. Johns Episcopal
Church here, suggested to stu
dents before a roaring campus
bonfire last night that they
could pursue one of three
courses Of action: ~
Stay in their rooms and re-
fuse to attend classes. E
Attend classes but refuse to
answer when spoken to.
Go home.
The students compromised
on q voice vote to sit outside
the classroom buildings but
refuse to enter.
Student spokesmen said
there should be no effort to
stop any student who wishes
to attend class. The university
has about 5000 students.
Mr. Trautwein, expressing
sympathy with the students,
said lle and another Bowling
Green minister, the Rev. VIII
liam l.. Powers, had been au-
lthorized by the university to
accept grievances from stu
dents.
The grievances centered on
University regulations which
the students consider too strict.
One rule. for instance, bans
drinking on or off campus,
including beer. 81.
The students also don't like
what they say is a ban on. cou-
pies holding hands on campus,
and a ban on fellows kissing
girls goodnight outside dormi-
tories.
They also complain about
what they said was a lack Of
freedom Of speech. The claim
the campus newspaper is cen
sored; that all discussion meet
ings have to be cleared by the
administration. and that stu
dents face expulsion for having
their names appear in Off
campus publication in connec-
ton with articles unfavorable
to the university. Resentment
boiled over into demonstrations
last night and the previous
night. 81
