The American Chemical Society will honor Dr. A. J. P. Martin at an Anniversary Symposium on Chromatography in New York City at the fall national meeting. The occasion is the 30th anniversary of the invention of partition chromatography, the 20th anniversary of the invention of gas chromatography, and the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mikhail S. Tswett, who made the first chromatographic analysis in 1906 in Russia. Dr. Martin, British biochemist, shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Dr. Richard Synge; he was cited for his work in partition chromatography. Dr. Martin was recently named an honorary member of the Chemists' Club (New York). William W. Keeler, chairman and chief executive officer of Phillips Petroleum Co., has been named to receive the International Palladium Medal of the American Section of the Société de Chimie Industrielle, Inc., for 1972. It will be presented at a dinner in his honor Oct. 30 in New York City, at which time Mr. Keeler will be cited for "his distinguished contributions to goodwill and understanding both in the United States and abroad throughout his long career in the petroleum and chemical industries."
