Jj · S. Rubber Fellowships in Chemistry

U. S. Rubber Co. has established gradu­ate fellowships in chemistry at California Institute of Technology, Cornell, Harvard, Northwestern, University of California, University of California at Los Angeles, University of Chicago, University of Minnesota, and University of Wisconsin. These will be available for the academic year starting .July 1. The fellow, to be selected by the universities in accordance with their established practices, will re­ceive S 1,200 per year if single, or $1,800 per year if married. The university will receive S 1,000 to cover tuition and other costs. There are no restrictions in the choice of position after the fellowship ex­pires. The company expects to continue the fellowship plan for a period of years.

Corrosion Research A project for the study of corrosion by

oxygen and carbon dioxide on the surfaces of light metals and alloys to be conducted by Pierre van Rysselberghe, professor of chemistry, has been awarded to the Uni­versity of Oregon, Eugene, by the Office of Xaval Research. John M. McGee and Armin IT. Gropp will assist Dr. Ryssel-berghe in carrying out the one-year, S 10,490 program.

Ιοτνα State Acquires Synchrotron

The Iowa State College Institute for Atomic Research, Ames, is acquiring a 70,000,000-volt synchrotron. First appli­cation planned is the study of nuclear re­actions produced by high energy x-rays from the machine. Since the energy of 70,000,000 volts attained is well above that obtained from natural radioactive sources, an extension of knowledge of this field should result. Of particular interest would be nuclear reactions in which sev­eral atomic particles are emitted in a single event. It is not out of the question to expect that the electron beam itself can ultimately be brought out in a homo­geneous form from the machine for di­rect study of its effects.

Plastics School The Washington School of Plastics,

located at 706 Thirteenth St., N. W., Washington, D. C , has been established to supply students and professional and business men with information on plastic materials in induetry, including new de­velopments, inspection, and procurement.

One of the courses, ''An Introduction to the Chemistry of Plastics", is aimed to familiarize students with elementary prin­ciples of chemistry and testing procedures. The application of these materials in in­dustry is also surveyed.
