The Pittsburgh Conference The 22nd Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 28 to March 5, 1971. Headquarters for the meeting will be the Cleveland Convention Center. An estimated 300 papers on all phases of analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy. Symposia on the following subjects are now being arranged: Recent advances in nmr spectroscopy Analytical techniques on the horizon Pharmaceutical analysis Trace atmospheric contaminants Challenge in the steel industry Group frequencies in Raman spectroscopy Flame atomic absorption and emission spectroscopy Liquid chromatography—new developments and applications Coblentz symposium on interferometry SSP Award symposium on emission spectroscopy Authors who wish to present papers should submit three copies of a 150-word abstract and include the names and addresses of the authors, and the name of the laboratory in which the work was done. Abstracts should be sent, before Oct. 1, 1970, to John J. Jackovitz, Westinghouse Research Laboratories, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15235. In addition to the technical program, there will be a full social program and an exhibition by more than 250 instrument and equipment and chemical manufacturers. The 1971 Pittsburgh Conference Chairman is William G. Fateley, Carnegie-Mellon University, 4400 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. 15213. Exposition Chairman is Charles J. McCafferty, PPG Research Center, P.O. Box 11472, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15238
Morton Beroza Wins Harvey W. Wiley Award Dr. Morton Beroza, research chemist in the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, was named winner of the 14th AOAC Wiley Award for his outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry important to agriculture and public health. The award will be presented by Henry A. Davis, President of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, at the society's annual meeting banquet, Monday, Oct. 12, 1970. This $750 award is presented annually in honor of Harvey W. Wiley, the "father" of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and a founder of AOAC. Dr. Beroza is cited as an excellent 68 A ·

oza earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 1946 and 1950, respectively from Georgetown University. He began his career in the Food and Drug Administration in 1939 and after stints in the U.S. Navy and the Naval Ordinance Lab, joined the Dept. of Agriculture in 1948. He is now Investigations Leader in charge of Synthetics and Analytical Investigations for the Pesticide Chemicals Research Branch.
