Rouse Belts?

I stumbled upon an article in "Industrial Research" from 1968 on something called "Rouse Belts".  A geochemist named George E. Rouse who was a doctoral student at the Colorado School of Mines came up with a theory about earthquake zones occurring on 60 degree planes through the Earth.  However, aside from two brief articles, I can't find out any more information.  Does anyone know anything about this?   Thanks!
