has created a great influx of visitors and hotel space frequently is difficult to obtain. We urge that hotel rooms be used to capacity and, wherever possible, double occupancy be arranged. Make all reservations through t h e Housing and Hotels Committee. Address D r . S. Klosky, Room 1536, 233 Broadway, N e w York 7, Ν. Υ . Use the form on page 909, supply ing all the information requested. Hotels will refer to the Housing and Hotels Com mittee all requests for rooms that come to them for this meeting. Should any change in plans prevent an attendant's utilizing hotel space for the exact time originally stipulated, please cancel or change reservations promptly through the Housing Committee. I t will be necessary to use every avail able bit of space that can b e obtained, and ACS members are asked to apply the Golden Rule. If t h e membership co operates fully in the matter of hotel reser vations and space, it is expected that all visitors will b e housed within a reasonable distance of headquarters.

Hotels Hotel Pennsylvania a t Seventh Avenue and 33rd Street, N e w York, has been selected a s general headquarters. The Division of Rubber Chemistry will have its headquarters a t t h e Commodore Hotel, Lexington Avenue and 42nd Street. T h e Biltmore, Madison Avenue and 43rd Street, will serve in a similar capacity for the Divisions of Cellulose Chemistry and Paint, Varnish, and Plastics Chemistry. A table listing official hotels and their rates appears o n page 90o. Hotels may be located from t h e m a p o n page 907. T h e North Jersey Hotels Committee has been unable to obtain t h e requisite number of rooms in official hotels for the large number o f attendants expected a t the 1944 annual meeting. Therefore, listed in t h e same table o n page 906 are a number of nonofficial hotels t o which registrants will be assigned o n request and after official hotels are filled. New York i s customarily a busy city. Even though i t h a s a large number of hotels which i n ordinary limes would be ample for a meeting such as this, the war

(d) If a paper is declined by any division of the SOCIETY, the secretary o f that divi sion is instructed t o notify t h e secretary of a n y other division to which it is likely t o be offered. Priority is based solely upon the date of receipt of the complete paper deposited for publication with the secretary of the di vision or the appropriate editor. T h e Council has empowered officers of divisions to request any paper in advance, so that it may be passed upon and an indi cation made to the author as to whether he is to read the entire paper or to ab stract it in order to allow time for discus sion. No paper may be presented at the meeting, title for which is not printed in the final pro gram.

The ACS News Service, 1155 16th St., N. W., Washington 6, D. C , wiU sup ply abstracts of papers presented at the meeting. Sets are not guaranteed to be complete but contain abstracts from all divisions as submitted by authors. The abstracts will be mailed as soon as possible after receipt of order. It is hoped that mailing can begin about September 4. However, necessity for thor ough review by the Government and un foreseen production delays caused by the war may make this impossible. Those who feel it necessary to have the abstracts at the meeting are advised to purchase them in New York rather than by mail. This enterprise is undertaken in a spirit of service and not for profit. Sets are offered on the following terms: To members of divisions who forward receipt for divisional dues with remittance and order, 50 cents. To those without receipt for divisional dues, who remit with order, $1.00. To those who fail to enclose remittance with order, necessitating correspondence, SI.25. To those who require that bills be ren dered, $1.50.

Sets of Abstracts Frequently there is a considerable period between the presentation of a paper and its publication, and in such cases the ab stracts are of particular value. CHEMICAL
Divisional Membership All registrants at meetings of the ACS may attend the sessions of any division. However, each group naturally wishes to carry on its roster the names of all who are interested in the field and work of the divsion. At least one special privilege is of fered only to members of these groups; some divisions give several concessions s o d services. In 1943 only about 5,500 members of the SOCIETY were registered on the rolls of the divisions and one third of these were in two large groups. Look over the list of divisions as it is printed on pages 906 and 907 and write now to the secretary saying, "Enroll me".
News Service The ACS News Service will operate a press room. Members who are to present papers will confer a great service and pro mote the efficiency of the publicity work by sending synopses to James T. Gr&dy, Managing Editor, ACS News Service, €09 Journalism Bldg., Columbia University, New York 27, Ν. Υ., as far in advance of the meeting as possible.
