SUMMARY 

Nine Section meetings were held and addressed by a distinguished 

group of speakers, six of whom were academicians. For a change a 

lady spoke on "Ladies Night," when Cornelia Snell explained the family 

businesspi.e. how consulting chemists serve industry. We included 

8 Prof, of Mech.Eng. from M.I.T. and welcomed a new Lehigh Ch.E. 

Head, Alan Foust. Host of the speakers were announced in CEN. The 

Octagon continues to give adequate advance publicity but-we could 

do ourselves a favor by wooing more press notices. 

Vie noted about 40 talks by Section members. Dr. Siggia was 

featured as 8 speaker to local sections. More popular talks are 

needed to improve the image of chemists. Some 30 papers were given 

by L.V. members at national meetings. Ten articles in technical:". 

journals plus several industrial history papers appeared from 

local chemist writers. " 

About 90 patents appeared from Lehigh Valley sources, some 

70 of which were from GAF chemists. Of interest is one directed 

by the late Dr.H.M. Ullmann, whoYwith J.G. Smull and E. Artlm 

of Lehigh U. Their patent U.S. 2,587, 411 is "Condensation Products 

of Acyclic Olefinic Acids and Polyhydric Alcohols." ;

Lehigh U. building scholarship program; seek industrial financial aid. 

Thirty firms have provided over $300,000. 

Summary 

The Program Committee managed to get extra speakers this year. Two 

were noted for February and November. A unique feature in March was Student.. 

Night (i.e.. H.S. students) when Dr. H.A. Neville acted as M.C. and three able 

prize winners read their essay:;. 

Section membership of 441. was reported in CEN; ten less than 1952. 

National membership was 63,922. as compared with 61,891 in 1952. 

Certificates of Necessity were noted as being granted to: The Beryllium 

Corporation; Air Products Co.; Atlas Powder Company; Bethlehem Steel Corporation; 

the last being for $6,845,000 with 55% allowed. 

Patents represent a major contribution from L.V. scientists. GAF leads 

with seme 114 listings in Chemical Abstracts, many from 1952 or earlier. There 

were 8 from NJZ and 4 from Bethlehem Steel. Some research done in the area is 

for companies far afield, e.g., research in organic chemistry by E.D. Amstutz at 

Lehigh University in patents to Wm. S. Merrfill Co., in Cincinnati, for anti 

bacterial products. 

There were 34 talks delivered by Section members; 17 articles published 

and 10 papers read at national meetings. 

The Octagon continued to serve us in its several important functions. 

Cover pictures of local scenes included: Dixie Cup plant in Easton, the West Plant 

of NJZ at Palmerton, Binney & Smith Co., Easton, the Lehigh Materials Co- (Coal 

mining by-products) near Tamaqua, and the new Lafayette Alumni Hall of Engineering. 

There were 17 book reviews by Section members in the 0ctj}£on- The pattern of 

good publicity for meetings, editorials of merit, and loyal support of advertisers 

who make our publication possible,continued under two editors and faithful 

associates with news.

Summary 

1956 (Contd.) 64 

While ACS membership nationwide was nearing 80,000, our Section 

reached a low of 429 for the 1950-'60 era. But new industries and 

increased college enrollments would bring more chemists to the Valley 

next year. .-.*•. 

There was the usual varied program of speakers at monthly meetings, 

except the summer months. Nine talks; two each in Easton, Bethlehem 

and Allentown; one in Reading, Tamaqua and Palmerton. 

B.R. Steuer3on^ came from the national A.C.S. office, From our 

Section, courtesy of GAF, we were favored by C.E. Schildknecht, who 

explained "Directed Polymerization." "Iodine and You" almost sounds 

like the title to a theme song, but it was the topic of E.L.Collins 

from Chilean Nitrate Sales Corp. For Ladies Night, a Brooklyn Art 

Museum official, Sheldon Keck, told how-science whelps preserve 

paintings. A Maryland toxicologist, H.C. Freiauth, developed his grim 

topic* "Chemistry and Sudden Death." Academicians learned some hints 

from Robert Eddy, of Tufts Univ., in his.talk "Concentrating The Diluted 

Teacher"-who® concentration we maintain is largely spent grading papers. 

A former Lehigh student, F.P. Hochgesong, L.U,.B:S.'37, M.S.'39 now with 

Socony-Mobil Labs., told:how he employs "Gas Chromatography." 

A rough count showed about 25 talks delivered by L.V. Section members, 

15 publications; a dozen papers at national meetings; 16 book reviews; 

a series of papers by Serfass and Muraca, x bf L'.UV, on determination of 

trace constituents in metal-finishing .efflue.nts;'and more local section 

speeches by Dr. Sidney Slggla of GAF. :.•' .-.-'• .;•'"•:'.• 

Some of the papers written by local "chemistTs''were read at the 

4th Delaware Valley Regional Meeting in Phils. in January. We could 

present more. •': :i:/'"-: A 

Service to Chem. Abstracts was rendered by some L.V. members.

1956 (Contd. ) 65 

We noted the follov/ing: Mary K% Perry, J.T. Baker Co.; V/.J. McCoy, 

Lehigh Port. Gem. Co.; R.R. Myers, L.U.; Anatol Sementsov, Lsfayette; 

Jack Vanderryn, L.U.; F.3. Wells, Trojsn Powder Co.-CheersI :

Patents continue to be a major contribution and measure of 

scientific activity.. .,Our. limited scrutiny showed;..GAF with,77 patent .. 

listed in 1953 C.A. • Atlas Powder. Co. 15'(one. on gel.dynamite ); 

Bethlehem Steel 7; Trojan Powder 5; Air Products 2; NJZ end L. Port. 

Cedent one each. Undoubtedly we missed-some; e.g. Bell Labs, had 

19 patents and .vestsrn Electric 7, but the names of the individuals 

were unfamiliar. 

A source of information on new products, construction, etc. was 

to look ahead to the Octagon Directory of 1962, 45, No.1,Jan.,'62.

Summary 

Lafayette's new Science Hall, made possible by a grant of $1.25 

million from the Clin Foundation, filled a need of more space for 

several depts. Plder alumni, including J. Hunt Wilson hated to part 

with old Gayley Hall. There was some of the tradition and character 

of the steel maker, James Gayley, who told Prof. J.W. "Plug" Pilchards 

of Lehigh: "You do the damned calculations and I'll supply the blast!" 

Gf nine speakers at Section meetings in 1957, three were local 

members—R.R. Myers, Saul Buc and L.B. Andersen; which shows that some

1 r 

1957 (Contd. ) 88 

prophets are "honored in their own country." And may the practice 

continue. We have diamonds in our own back yard. Find and encourage 

them. 

Three speakers were academicians: Dr. D.F. Hornlg of Brown U.; 

Ray Myers and. L.B. Anderson from L.U.; five from industry; J.D. Dutcher. 

Squibb Inst.; L.B. Sudrabin, Electro Rust Proofing; Mrs. M. Gibson, 

Wedgwood; E.3. Sutton, Thicknl; S.R. Buc, GAF. Saul Gordon, representa 

tive of a Govt, agency: Picatinny Arsenal. 

L.V. Section was well represented at national and international 

meetings with some 25 papers presented. In addition there were at 

least 29 additional "talks" reported; the actual number may have been 

double this. Book reviews were scarce; only three reported in The 

Cctagon. Two of our members presided at national ACS meetings and 

at least IP papers were reported published. Some 16 conferences 

involved L.V. members. •. 

Patents reported in Chem. Abstracts in 1957: 

Air Products 1; Atlas Mineral Products 1; Atlas Powder 17; Air Reduction 

8; Bethlehem Steel 15; Celanese 52; C. K. Williams 1; GAF 86; Nat. Drug 

2; Glidden 15; NJZ Inc. 5; Trojan Powder 2. 

Costs continue to worry local section publications, but short cuts 

enabled Petagon interim editors Sturm and Brownell to effect some 

savings. Chronologies and histories would be aided by more complete 

reporting of local events involving chemists. Modesty is a virtue, but 

the Bible states: "Don't hide your light under a bushel J" Read Ctto 

Eisenschimmel's "without Fame" and learn more about; publicity from an 

old pro,

Summary 

• Statistics on section members activities vary and sometimes 

escape notice. We counted 21 papers delivered at national meetings; 

three books published; only 15 talks, but we ar ) 3ure there were 

more. Five national meeting programs were chaired for half day 

sessions, end ten conferences involved L. V. chemists. The totel 

number of patents listed in Chemical Abstracts for companies with 

Lehigh Valley plants was 350, of which perhaps two thirds (or less) 

pertained to local activities. As usual GAF had most, some 150 

patents. 

Ten abstractors from the ares were listed in C. A. Our 

membership of 466 is gradually increasing, but we still are entitled 

to only two Councilors.

SUMMARY - I960 ' ••-•- 

Professional activity among- Lehigh Valley chemists was 

shown in a wide range of interests in I960. No records were 

broken in producing 13 papers presented at national meetings; 

Eleven talks were made, five by Dr. Zettlemoyer in New England; 

five published papers; and two book reviews. There was also one 

text written by. Jay Young and a chapter in a rheology text by 

Drs. Myers and Zettlemoyer. . 

The Lehigh Campus saw a national Colloid Symposium of 

two days and a week's conference of NPI Research workers. 

Service by chemists and other scientists was rendered 

to students in extra classes and science fairs. 

We are proud to note that two ladies of our Section 

carried torches beyond U.S. borders: Mrs. Koehler to Montreal 

and Miss Fetsko to Europe. Dr. Zettlemoyer had the distinction 

of heading a delegation in Cologne. 

Tragedy struck when an explosion at Reynolds Exptl. Lab 

claimed' the lives of several workers. Four Section chemists 

died of natural causes this year. 

History and biography were written by the Perrys and the 

team of Barnard and Broad. Blllinger continued his theme of 

"The Chemical Heritage of the Lehigh Valley". 

One of our oldest and most Important industries was 

described by 3ethlehem Steel's Lester Butz in "Blast Furnace 

Operations". . 

The Octagon covers show places of interest - industrial

Summary - Cont. 

and historical - to which the Perry family has had pilgrimages. 

Patent writing and research is active. Area firms 

listed in CA with I960 patents: GAF 173; Firestone. 27; Western 

Electric 25; Atlas.Powder 23;Eell Labs and Glidden had 17 each; 

Celanese 51; Air Reduction 16; NJZ 12; Aluminum Co. of America 8; 

Air Products 7; Bethlehem Steel, Carpenter Steel,and Polymer 

Oorp. 3 each; J.T. Baker and O.K.-Williaas one each. Much of 

this was accomplished outside the Lehigh Valley area.

SUMMARY 1961 

Highlight of bur monthly meetings is the-featured V 

lecture by a generous expert in his field. Most of these visitors 

do a fine job. and we show some degree of appreciation with the 

token gift which our.Chairman presents. More respect would be 

shown by better attendance. Our program committees rate orchids. 

More than ten per cent of us should support them. 

1961 was no great year for Section productivity. Four 

papers presented at national meetings; two articles published and. 

p£phaps a dozen talks by Section members on record. But there} 

were more patents reported by firms with area plants and labs: 

Aluminum Co. of America-li; American Can 8; Beryllium Corp. 2; Air..-

SUMMARY *-'.'.'..- yy 

New, able men join our Section. Ed. Amstutz, at Lehigh, 

brought in Merkel, Borowltz, Kraihanzel and Lovejoy. Some of them 

wanted to change' the rules and one didn't need the ACS. But three 

are still here, keeping a chemistry dept,-strong while'awaiting the 

construction of Mudd LabtvT'T.he'-.latter assured and planned, by Pres. 

Lewis, V.P. Zettlemoyer and / Dept. Head Fowkes.)- 

More local firms merge with bigger ones, e.g. C.K, Williams 

becomes part of Pfizer. : The tall, brick fume stack comes down. 

Kawecki becomes a partner of a Dutch firm, N.V. Billiton. Bethlehem , 

Steel goes all out for research, atop South Mt,, with its multi- 

million Homer Labs. When John Johnston and Bliss, Austin, of Yale, 

started a research lab for U.S-.-Steel at. Kearney, N.J., back in the 

late twenties, Bethlehem got Chas. Herty,Jr. from M.i.T. to help 

V.P. Qulncy Bent and Pres," Eugene Grace keep the local plant, and 

its far flung holdings, No.2 in steel. Austin went to the new U.S. 

Steel labs near Pittsburgh and Bethlehem finally planned to expand 

research near home. 

There were 7 talks by Section members .this year. Only 

these were reported by the Octagon. More? Undoubtedly, but our 

reporting may fail. Are we too busy? Or is there less demand for 

chemical presentations. We counted 11 papers read at national, or ' 

9 

reginal meetings; one book review and no publications other than 

patents. Here there was diversity, but 'fewer numbers from some 

major potent sources. We tallied the following from 1962 "Chem, 

Abstracts": Air Products 1; Air Reduction 16 (only a few involving 

gases); Bethlehem Steel 5; Western Electric 7; Reichard-Coulston,

•*§.. - ... 189 . 

1962 ' - 

O.K. Williams and Polymer Corp., 1'each;. GAF 51; American Can and 

Kawecki 2 each; Atlas Powder 7; Atlas Chem. Ind. 5; Bell Tel Labs 

17; Firestone 11; Glidden 13; Celanese 17. Again we do not attempt 

to estimate how many of these patents involved L.V. Chemists directly, 

but the patents may be sources of new products to be made here. 

Area chemists serve in many fields not limited to their 

profession, e.g. G.T. Garcelon is Director of Civil Defense in • 

3erks.County; Wm. Wiswesser serves on a chemical-toxicological com- • 

mlttee of Mellon Inst*; A.C Zettlemoyer serves the Y.M.C.A. (in 

Bethlehem) as presidentj and was also Chm. of the Bethlehem Comm 

unity Chest and Red Cross Drive. There were and are many more, like 

the nationally known "Fifty Famous Firsts" of ".whom R.D.B, wrote for 

the ACS History of Chemistry Division, Sept. 12, 1962, Atlantic City, 

N.J.

1963 •'••'-. SUMMARY 

Advertisers not. only publicize their wares but also pay 

for the publication of our journals. Nine firms who have plants 

In the Lehigh Valley advertised in CEN during 1963; some like GAF 

had as many as 30 ads during the year,, The list includes: Air 

Produdts (and Houdry Div.), Air Reduction, J.T. Baker, Bell Labs, 

Celanese, GAF, Pfizer (and CK* Williams Div*)-, Patterson-Kelley. 

Our own L.V. Section publication, The Octagon, has been issued 

free of charge since 1918 to area chemists because of the aid 

from advertisers. Two staunch supporters have been the J.T, Baker 

Chemical and Mack Printing Companies* We found the following 

additional ads in the March 1963 Issue; Arthur H." Thomas, General 

Laboratory Supply, Distillation Products Industries, ACS, Washing-

Summary 

Chemical ^patents account for the greatest number of publicat- 

ions. Most of these are done out of this area,but a tally of patents 

by companies with plants here shows: Air Products and Chemicals had 

34 patents In 1964; Air Reduction 12; Bethlehem Steel 1; Bell Labs 14; 

Western Electric 24; GAF 93; NJZ 2; Atlas Chem.Ind. 11; Beryllium 

Corp. 6; Firestone 21; Glidden 12; Polymer Corp. 4; Celanese 17. 

Several by individuals: J.J. Chessick and A.C Zettlemoyer 1; E.D. 

Amstutz and F.F. Ebetine 2. In addition Reider Associates (Reading) 

had one and the Chemical Research Co. (Stroudsburg) had one. 

The Section lost a pair of good editors : Mary and Bill Perry. 

They have served the Lehigh Valley Section in Many ways. Orchids to 

them. The program of speakers was excellent. Any time you can get 

three as good as Charles Price, John Turkevlch and Francis Trembley 

you have a treat. The latter is a biologist,with a torch for environ 

ment, whose articles you have read in the Bethlehem Globe-Times and 

the Sunday Call-Chronicle. 

Our collection of educational movies has been shifted to the 

Allentown Area H.S. film library. The project filled a need, like 

the early essays by students to arouse chemical interest. You may 

have helped to pick winners for prizes given by the Div. and J.Chem.Ed. 

We may have to do more of that service to help ACS public relations. 

George Slemiencow analyzed Lafayette chemical curricula inside 

out.Afgom 1837 to date, in ahistory paper done with Lee R. Walters. 

A.C. Zettlemoyer and Associates, Lehigh U., got;publicity on 

advances in cloud seeding.

' Instrumental Analysis summer sessions are continuing at Lehigh U. 

under the direction of Prof. Jim Dlefenderfer. 

One national ACS division was headed by a L.V.Section member in 

1964. Ray Myers, Lehigh U., was Chairman of the Div. of Organic Coat
