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.
