...morning broke each workday last week over the pleasant St. Louis suburb of University City, an impish-looking, tire-waisted man gingerly eased himself into a tub of steaming hot water and submerged right up to his jug-handle ears. For most men, the solitary ritual of the tub means a chance to escape for a while from the cares and worries of the world outside-but not for William Henry Mauldin, editorial cartoonist of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In Mauldin's cauldron, the heat creates light-in the form of inspiration for his drawing board. The water...

With 100 lbs. of tanks, tubes and nozzles strapped to his back, he began his flight by flexing his knees and turning a valve. With an earsplitting racket, superheated steam from decomposing hydrogen peroxide jetted out of two down-pointed nozzles and slowly lifted him off the ground. In a 15-sec. flight he cleared the Army truck and made a perfect two-foot landing 150 ft. from his takeoff. The Army, which is paying for Bell's Rocket Belt, is still...
