Angell Joins ACS Staff

William J. Angell has joined the ACS headquarters staff in Washington,

D.C., as under­study to Charles M. C allien ne, ful­fillment manager in the Opera­tional Services Di­vision. Mr. An­gell will assume the duties of the

fulfillment manager when Mr. Gal-liemie retires.

Mr. Angell received a B.A. in Eng­lish and economics from Miami (Ohio) University in 1934. He then joined Time, Inc., where he was in charge of direct mail circulation for Time and Life. He later went into subscription service work and aided in the con­version of the Time and Life subscrip­tion operations to an automated punch card system.

In 1957 Mr. Angell joined Wesleyan University Press as a consultant and was named circulation coordinator a year later. He became circulation manager of Printer's Ink in 1960, and

for the past two years he has held the same position with Army Times Pub­lishing Co., for which he also has di­rected the conversion of its subscrip­tions to a computer-based system.

Mr. Angell is a member of the Data Processing Managers Association and the Fulfillment Managers Association.

Fuel Chemistry Division Sets Up Memorial Award The Division of Fuel Chemistry will administer the Henry H. S torch Award to be given annually to the citizen of the U.S. who has contributed most to fundamental or engineering research on the chemistry and utiliza­tion of coal or related materials in the preceding five years.

Friends of the late Dr. Storch have established the award, which consists of a plaque and $100. It will be given at the Society's fall national meetings.

Dr. Storch was an outstanding phy­sical chemist. His contributions to coal chemistry include fundamental research on the structure and reac­tions of coal and catalysis of the water-gas shift, the Fischer-Tropsch syn­thesis, the oxo reaction, and coal hy­drogénation, as well as engineering studies of the Fischer-Tropsch synthe­sis and hydrogénation and gasification of coal. He was director of research at the U.S. Bureau of Mines from 1928 to 1951.

Nominations are being solicited for the 1964 award. They should be sent to Dr. R. B. Anderson, U.S. Bureau of Mines, 4800 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. 15213, before July 1.

Vive la Compagnie A group of French chemical industry officials on a tour of chemical and related plants in Canada and the U.S. visited ACS headquarters recently. At left, Dr. Alden H. Emery, ACS Executive Secretary, chats with (left to right) L. Quelquejeu, inspector general, St. Gobain; A. Ellefsen, executive vice-president, Société de Chimie Indus­trielle; and J. J. Bousquet, director of technical services of the société', during a re­ception in Marvel Hall and the adjoining patio at ACS headquarters. The tour, spon­sored by the American Section of the organization, included plant tours in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, District of Columbia, Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Ontario, and Quebec.

Advance Registration "Long registration lines at ACS na­tional meetings may be a thing of the past," says A. T. Winstead, head of the National Meetings Department.

His optimism is based on the suc­cess of the advance meeting registra­tion which was tried on an experimen­tal basis prior to the 1964 ACS winter and spring national meetings. Of the 1304 registrants in Denver, 286 had registered in advance. At the Phila­delphia meeting, 1256 advance reg­istrants were included in the total attendance of 6719. As a result, the customary Monday morning delays and long registration lines were re­duced.

Advance meeting registration forms for persons planning to attend the ACS meeting in Chicago in August will be printed in the June 8 issue of C&EN.
