Mrs. S. O. Sorcnsen is ladies ' chairman, and among the gen- eraI eveuts tenta~ively planned is a Paul Bunyan evening. The Governing Board and several technical committees will meet during the convention.

C. S. Marvel, research professor of organic chemistry a t the University of Illinois, and R~chard G. Kadesch, research director of Emery Industries Inc., C~ncinnati, O., have been appointed collaborators of the United States Department of Agriculture, S o u ~ I ~ r UTILIZ&TIOIq RES.E2ARC~I Br~ rc~ , New Orleans, La., to confer with staff members on investigations to develop new and improved products from vegetable oils and pine gum. New outlets are needed for cottonseed oil to allevi- ate the surplus situation. New products utilizing the unique structure of tung oil fa t ty acids are needed to strengthen the markets for this southern-produced oil. The decline in ex- ports of gum rosin points to the need for new domestic outlets for this product of southern forests.
