City. This exhibit in Convention H a l l , i n which 45 to 50 publishers will participate, is spon sored by the Division of Chemical Education as a special service to the Society's members. Since busy chemists do not have the facilities to keep up with an ever growing list of technical publications, m a n y of these titles would not otherwise come to their attention without timeconsuming search. For this reason the book ex hibit is looked forward to by all who attend the annual meeting and is one of the most popular features. A classified list of all t h e titles on display will be available at the exhibit and will appear in the September issue of the Journal oj Chemi cal Education.

Hegulatiuit» 'Governing Pœper* The attention of authors is particularly directed t o the regulations of the Society which provide that: (1) N o paper by a chemist or chemical engineer residing in the United Sta/tes may be presented unless it is a joirrt paper with one or more Society members. This means that if any of the authors is a chemist or chemical engineer, at least one must be a member of the Society. (2) All papers are the property of the Society, for publication in the journals or release by the proper editor. As a corollary of this, no paper may be presented which has been offered for publication elsewhere. The cornpLete regulations are: Bylaw VI, Sec. 4. The following rules shall apply to the presentation of papers at a national, regional, divisional, or group meeting of the SOCIBTT.
(a) The term "paper" shall include any presentation for which the title and authors are listed on the program and which may be reduced to writing either prior to, during, or subsequent t o the meeting at which presented . (b) No paper shall be presented a t a national, regional, divisional, or group meeting unless its title appears on the program for the meeting. (c) No paper by a chemist, or chemical engineer residing in the United States who is not a member of the SOCIETY
shall appear on the program of a national, regional, divisional, o r group meeting of the SOCIETY unless it be a
joint paper with one or more SOCIETT members. (d) Each paper presented before any national, divisional, regional, or group meeting of the SOCIETY shall be the property of the SOCIETY for publication by
the SOCIETY or for release b y tfcie editors of the SOCIETY'S journals if not retained
for such publication, and no paper shall be presented unless the author o r authors thereof agree to this conditionCe) The SOCIETY shall not, be respons-
ible for statements or opinions advanced by individuals in papers o>r discussions before its meetings. (f) The President shall have authority to exclude any paper from a program at any time prior to its presentation at a meeting of the SOCIETY.
The Board of Directors bias voted the following regulations governing papers to be presented before national, divisional, regional, or group meetings, supplementing Bylaw VI. (a) Authorship of papers shall be accredited only t o individuals and not to companies or laboratories. (b) No paper may be presented which has been offered for publication elsewhere. (c) No paper, no matter ho-w important, may be presented, the title of which does not appear on the final program. (d) If a paper is declined by any division of the SOCIETY, the secretary of that division is instructed to notify the secretary of any other division t o which it is likely to be offered. Priority is based solely upon, the date of receipt of the complete paper de1725
posited for publication with the secretary of t h e division or t h e a p p r o p r i a t e e d i t o r . T h e Council has empowered officers of divisions t o r e q u e s t a n y paper in a d vance, so t h a t it m a y be passed u p o n and a n indication m a d e to the a u t h o r a s to w h e t h e r he is t o read t h e entire p a p e r or to a b s t r a c t it allowing time for d i s cussion.

Copolymer Corp. Completes Conversion to Cold Rubber A S T A F F REPORT
C^HEMISTS and chemical engineers once again have outdone nature in creating better products for modern man's use. The latest instance of this was made clearly evident a t the recent open house program sponsored by the Copolymer Corp. and the Phillips Petroleum Co. at the former's plant in Baton Rouge, La. The occasion commemorated the 100% conversion of the plant to "cold rubber/* éo-called because the .polymerization of r-he butadiene and styrene is carried oui at 41° F. instead of 122° F. as in the -rtandard GR-S process. This new type of rubber which the Copolymer Corp. began producing in February 1948 and is now turning out at the rate of 30,000 tons annually has greatly improved abrasion resistance and cracking characteristics. When compounded with improved carbon black and used for tire treads an increase of about* SÙ9O in mileage is obtained. Despite the additional cost of refrigeration the total cost of the new rubber is as low as standard GR-S because of cheaper materials used in the polymerization recipe and greater process efficiency. It is likely that further decreases in cost will be effected. The definite achievement of these results ensures the continuance of the American synthetic rubber industry The success of cold rubber from both a Drocess and product standpoint has idrastically revived interest among tire makers, and conversion of the country'*3 flynthetic capacity is being pushed.
I n discussing the development of cold rubber, W. B . Reynolds, supervisor of synthetic rubber development, Phillip? Petroleum Co., pointed out at the Baton Rouge open house that the basic idea of cold rubber is not veiy new. As far back as World War I it was known that low temperatures produced better polymers. I t was not until 1943, however, that serious studies were begun to develop commercial processes. Among the factors responsible for the final rapid development of cold rubber,

I t is expected that employers who have been regular users of the Employment Clearing House will b e pleased to learn that the full service, complete with interview scheduling by the ECH staff, will be provided. Those who have never visited a n ACS Clearing House will find a uniqize employment aid of distinct value.
