Southwestern Sections Meet in Dallas ί HE conclave of Texas local sections of

the ACS, first held at Austin in 1945, this year justified the styling which was given it by the Dallas-Fort Worth Section, hosts to the second annual "Southwestern Re­gional Meeting". Twelve local sec­tions in the Southwest were well repre­sented, β with visitors from the Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Baltimore Sections as well. Widespread interest in the meeting was indicated by the presence of editorial representatives of five tech­nical journals.

Southwestern sections, contributing most of the 284 registrants, were in order of attendance, Dallas-Fort Worth, South­east Texas, Texas-Louisiana Gulf, Central

Texas, Ark-La-Tex, Oklahoma, Baton Rouge, Texas A & M, Southeast Kan­sas, Louisiana, South Texas, and Panhan­dle Plains. At the close of the technical sessions on the second day, members met in a joint session with the Texas Academy of Science for a symposium entilted "Fifty Years of Science in Texas". Feature of that evening was a joint banquet at which George W. Wat t and Robert John Little of the University of Texas spoke on the chemical and physical implications, respec­tively, of nuclear energy.

Departing from the precedent estab­lished a t Austin, only 15 of the 43 tech­nical papers were on petroleum, the re­mainder covering a wide variety of sub­jects from egg proteins to paints and in­secticides, including some excellent pres­entations in physical and organic chemis­try and chemical education. T. Harrison Davies of the Institute of Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago presented at one of the luncheon meetings the "Ameri­can Proposals for the Control of Atomic Energy".

Twenty-two employers registered with the employment service and scheduled 50 interviews with the 35 applicants. Much of the success of the meeting was due to the efforts of Ogden Baine of SMU, gen­eral chairman, Maurice Barr of the Eagle-Picher Co., Chairman of the Dallas-Fort Worth Section, and Madison Marshall, Texas State College for Women, who was in charge of the papers.
