CH30 Dr. James J. Morgan David E. Gushee has been named publication manager for the new journal, and will serve it as staff co ordinator of the three major publish ing functions of editing, circulation development, and advertising sales. Mr. Gushee will continue as editor of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, a position he has held since 1963. Dr. Morgan, 34, received his B.C.E. in 1954 at Manhattan College, M.S.E. in 1956 at the University of Michigan, A.M. in 1962 and Ph.D. in 1964 at Harvard University. From 1956 to 1960 he was an instructor in sanitary engineering at the University of Illi nois. In 1963 he became associate professor of water chemistry and re search associate professor of civil en gineering at the University of Florida. He has also done consulting work for Tennessee Corp. and for Cams Chem ical Corp. In 1964 he was a member of the National Institutes of Health's Environmental Sciences and Engineer ing Study Section. He joined the Cal tech faculty in 1965. In 1960-61 he held a Danforth Foundation Teacher Study Grant at Harvard; and in 1961-63 he studied there under a U.S. Public Health Ser vice predoctoral fellowship. He re-

You haven't seen this structure before. The polyphenes are developmental chemicals. Their general structure suggests fresh possibilities for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents, solvent dispersions, UV absorption and reaction intermediates. Among the polyphenes' basic characteristics are such qualities as low water solubilities. Yet they are easily soluble in polar organic solvents. Melting points are indefinite. Slow softening occurs around 80°C, followed by a slow increase in flow with rising temperature. You are invited to further explore the polyphenes with us. Mail the coupon. We'll respond with sample material and other information. Rayonier Chemicals, Rayonier Incorporated, 161 East 42nd Street, New York, Ν. Υ. 10017

ceived an NSF conference travel grant (Tokyo) in 1964. Dr. Morgan received the Robert Ridgeway Prize of the American Society of Civil Engineers' New York section in 1954. In 1962 he received a Certificate of Merit from the ACS Division of Water and Waste Chemistry, and the following year received the American Water Works Association's Water Purification Division Award. Session chairman. He has chaired sessions of the Gordon Research Conferences in 1964 and 1966 as well as symposiums of the ACS Division of Water, Air, and Waste Chemistry. He served on the American Water Works Association's Task Group on Phosphates in Water and as chairman of its Research Committee on Iron and Manganese in 1965. The same year he was a member of the American Society for Engineering Education's Environmental Engineering and Science Committee. Dr. Morgan is a member of ACS, American Society for Limnology and Oceanography, American Water Works Association, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Sigma Xi, and Chi Epsilon. Establishment of the new Environmental Science ir Technology (ESÙ-T) was authorized by the ACS Board of Directors at its June 1966 meeting. Scheduled to begin monthly publication in January 1967, it enters the field at a time when scientific, industrial, legislative, and public interest in the quality of our environment is at an all-time high. ESirT is being designed as an outlet of recognized stature for high-quality contributed papers reporting original research, engineering development, or technico-economic studies in fields of science concerned with man's environment. In addition, its editorial content will include invited critical reviews on selected topics of current interest to scientists and engineers working in various segments of the water, air, and waste treatment field. Also included will be staff-written articles which analyze and interpret developments in such areas as research, industrial activity, and legislative or political activity wherever such activity is of significance to scientific and technical people concerned with environmental factors. It will thus assemble in one place the latest contributions to our understanding of water, air, and wastes—not alone from the viewpoint of their roles in pollution and its control, but also in terms of their roles as resources that contribute to industrial and social progress. Because a meaningful approach to dealing with these resources and with
their part in determining environmental quality involves more than scientific understanding, ES&T will devote serious attention to engineering, economic, legal, and other influences, to give its readers an integrated view of this complex system. And because the mounting interest in environmental behavior and control is essentially worldwide, ES&T will report, selectively, on an international basis. The new magazine will be available at subscription prices of $5.00 a year to members and $7.00 a year to nonmembers. Members and nonmembers who enter subscriptions between now and Dec. 31 may do so at a prepublication rate of $3.50 (orders should be sent to Subscription Service Department, American Chemical Society, 1155 Sixteenth St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036).
Haggin promoted Joseph H. S. Haggin, who has been associate editor, has been named managing editor of Industrial ù- Engineering Chemistry, Washington, D.C. He joined the lb-EC staff as assistant editor in 1963 and became associate editor in 1965. Educated at Notre Dame (B.S. 1953, M.S. 1957), Mr. Haggin had served for several years on the chemical engineering faculty of Notre Dame before coming to IÙEC. He was a research engineer for U.S. Gypsum for a year (1956-57) and from 1954 to 1956 served in the Air Force. He had also been a chemical engineer at Globe-Imperial Corp. (1953).

PA-75 is the cool curing catalyst with long pot life. You won't find it anywhere else. PA-75 is a liquid catalyst with all the advantages of acid phosphates. It's a 75-25 mixture of phenyl acid phosphate in butyl alcohol. PA-75 drops curing temperatures to 140° F. and lower. It shortens curing time and makes finishes harder, more resistant to wear and chemical action. PA-75 has another advantage—longer pot life. Prepared batches of coatings and finishes stay usable longer. You don't have to worry about wasting "yesterday's" batch. In addition to PA-75, the Industrial Chemicals Division of Mobil Chemical Company offers a wide variety of acid phosphates under the famous V-C trademark. These phosphates are strong organic acids which form salts with alkalies and amines. They are very light in color. Solubilities change with chain length. PHOSPHATE
