1977 ACS National Meeting August 28-September 2 Chicago, the convention capital of the U.S., will again host an ACS national meeting August 28-September 2,1977. T h e 174th Annual Meeting of the American Chemical Society will feature technical sessions and professional and social activities t h a t will att r a c t more t h a n 8 000 attendees. In all, 28 of the Society's 29 divisions and six committees will participate in the five days of technical sessions. T h e technical program will include over 1500 papers to be presented in about 220 planned symposia. T h e Analytical Chemistry Division will hold 16 half-day sessions at which over 100 papers will be presented. These sessions are composed of four symposia of 12 sessions and 4 general sessions. Among the symposia topics are high-resolution gas chromatography, ultratrace metal analysis in biological sciences and environment, the analytical approach in problem solving, and forensic chemistry. Of these, the first two topics with 29 and 21 presentations each at four respective sessions seem to dominate the technical program of the Division. This emphasis is probably a reflection of the current interest in these areas. T h e general sessions will cover general analytical chemistry topics in two sessions and electrochemistry and chromatography in one session each. In addition to these programs for

which the Analytical Division is the primary sponsor, the Division will participate in two symposia sponsored by the Division of Polymer Chemistry Inc.: novel instrumental methods for probing polymer structures (four sessions) and chromatography of polymers (three sessions). T h e Analytical Division will also participate in a symposium on the present status of the teaching of analytical chemistry (two sessions) sponsored by the Division of Chemical Education Inc. Other programs of interest to analytical chemists are those sponsored by the Division of Agricultural & Food Chemistry, the Division of Chemical Health & Safety (probationary), and the Division of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry. T h e programs of these divisions contain presentations on applications of various analytical techniques to the elucidation of food and beverage constituents or to the monitoring of toxic substances. In addition, the Division of Fuel Chemistry will hold a symposium on new techniques in coal analysis, and the Division of Nuclear Chemistry & Technology will also hold a symposium on nuclear spectroscopy. All sessions sponsored by the Analytical Chemistry Division and those jointly sponsored with the Division of Polymer Chemistry Inc., will be held in the Palmer House. T h e symposium

sponsored jointly with the Division of Chemical Education Inc., will take place in the Pick-Congress Hotel which is only four blocks away from the Palmer House. T h e Analytical Division social hour will be held on Tuesday, August 30, from 6:00 p.m. in t h e Water Tower Place, Pearson Room, 175 East Chestn u t Street. T h e division dinner and business meeting will follow beginning a t 6:45 and 7:45 p.m., respectively. T h e ACS Chemical Exposition will be held in the Palmer House, Upper Exhibit Hall (fourth floor), Monday, August 29 through Thursday, September 1. It will include exhibits of the latest chemical instruments, publications, and services and will be sponsored by ACS and the Chicago Section. Several ACS courses given in conjunction with the meeting prior to Monday will be of interest to analytical chemists also. For more information, see page 804 A. T h e detailed technical program given below includes all the Analytical Chemistry sessions and those cosponsored by the Division. Preregistration forms and housing information are contained in Chem. Eng. News, J u n e 13,1977. T h e complete technical program for the meeting appears in Chem. Eng. News, July 25,1977.

the 10~10 to 10~14 gram range when you replace the burner head of your AA unit with the atomizer head of our flameless accessory. It instantly adapts all Jarrell-Ash atomic absorption spectrophotometers for ultra-trace analysis. Only the Jarrell-Ash FLA-100 accessory offers you true air ashing. Dramatically cuts background by completely burning off carbonaceous materials. (In the picogram neighborhood you're working in, this can make all the difference.) FLA-100 provides another outstanding capability. Temperature

complete freedom to select the best operating conditions for a sample. You also get flash atomization. To well over 3000°C. Hence minimum tailing, maximum sharpness — even with elements like Vanadium. Our accessory internally monitors current to its atomizer head, automatically corrects for deviations. (Comfort in time of brownouts.) Our advanced tube design maintains sensitivity as tube ages. And there's output for a variety of accessories. Send for brochure. Or phone Dr. Morganthaler at JA to talk ultra-trace direct. Number is (617) 890-4300.

Royal Honor for Australian Scientist Alan Walsh, widely known to analytical chemists for his invention of the atomic absorption spectrophotometer, was recently honored by Queen Elizabeth II of England, who is also Queen of Australia, by being created a Knight Bachelor, one of 38, at the Birthday Celebration and Jubilee.

Sir Alan

Walsh

Sir Alan, a native of Lancashire, England, was educated at the University of Manchester. After receiving a Master of Science Degree in x-ray crystallography, he joined the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association as a spectroscopist in 1939 and while there, he developed and patented a multi-purpose source unit for emission spectroscopy t h a t is still being manufactured commercially. In 1947 he went to Australia to join the Chemical Physics Section of the Division of Industrial Chemistry of the Council for Scientific Industrial Research. There he began fundamental studies on emission methods of spectrochemical analysis, but at the
