COLLABORATION OF CHEMICAL SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY;
DEATH OF DEPUTY MINISTER OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
INTENSIFY COLLABORATION OF CHEMICAL INSTITUTES, PLANTS -- Moscow, Vechernyaya
MLskva, 21 May 52
Scientists of the Moscow Institute of Fine Chemical Technology imeni M. V.
Lomonoaov are collaborating in various ways with industrial workers. They do
joint theoretical and experimental research, increase the qualifications of
engineering-technical personnel in the enterprises, and hold consultations with
representatives of different branches of industry, not only theoretical, but on
practical problems as well. During the past year, professors and instructors
of the institute have given more than 120 lectures and reports, and held more
than 136 consultations with workers in industry. Thirteen chairs of the insti-
tute, comprising eight professors, 24 docents, and 16 assistants are partici-
pating in these activities.
The work which is being done under the direction of Professor I. N. Naza-
rov, corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences USSR and Stalin Prize
winner, deserves special attention. As a result of the joint efforts of the
Institute of Organic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences USSR, the Institute of Fine
Chemical Technology, and the All-Union Scientific Research Pharmaceutical Chem-
ical Institute, with the participation of a number of medical institutes of
the Ministry of Health USSR, a powerful new domestic anesthetic has been de-
veloped. This anesthetic has a number of advantages over analogous prepara-
tions known at present.
Workers of the Institute of Fine Chemical Technology, under the direction
of Professor N. A. Preobrazhenskiy, have developed a Soviet pilocarpine, which
is a basic remedy for glaucoma. The technology for its production has been
worked out with industrial personnel.
Preobrazhenskiy has also achieved a synthesis of the alkaloid, emetine,
the only effective remedy for amoebic dysentery. He was awarded a First Stalin
Prize in 1952 fc-r his work on the synthesis of alkaloids.

Workers of the Faculty of Rubber Technology, under the direction of Pro-
fessors B. A. Dogadkin and F. F. Koshelev, are doing much to increase collabo-
ration with industrial workers. They have drawn up a contract with the Mos-
cow Kauchuk P_ant, and created complex bri,;odes to strengthen ties between
workers of the two enterprises. Assoct.tes of the institute have worked out
an effective method of estimating the quality of production.
As a result of Joint activities of the Institute of Fine Chemical Tech-
nology, the Scientific Research Institute of the Tire Industry, and the Moscow
Krasnyy Bogatyr' Plant, a new lacquer for rubber footwear has been developed
from a nonnutrient raw uaterial. A formula for rubber stocks using reclaimed
rubber was worked out, which made it possible to cut down on the consumption
of caoutchouc. A process for hot mastication of synthetic rubber was investi-
gated, a formula fog colored rubbers was developed, and technology for fatigue-
proofing various rubber products was improved.
Students :,c higher institutions of learning are cooperating closely with
plant personnel, whom they have assisted in the production process. Such co-
operation was evinced at the Moscow Kauchuk Plant, the Moscow Alkaloids Plant,
and the Plant imeni Semashko. -- Professor P. Zubov, Director, Moscow Insti-
tute of Fine Chemical Technology imeni M. V. Lomonosov
CHEMISTS, PHYSICISTS TO ATPEND CONVENTION -- Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva, 9 Jun
Research In the chemistry and physical chemistry of high molecular weight
compounds has proved fruitful in the production of synthetic rubber, synthetic
and natural fibers, plastics, and other branches of industry.
Results of research by chemists in these fields will be discussed tit a
conference which opens today in Moscow. Almost 600 chemists and physicists
from Moscow, Leningrad, Kazan', Sverdlovsk, Kiev, and other cities will par-
ticipate.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF LOKSHIN -- Moscow, Izvestiya, 13 Jul 52
Yeon Markovich Lokshin, Deputy Minister of the Chemical Industry, died
after a short, serious illness. He worked himself up from fitter to deputy
minister.
In 1919 - 1920, Lokshin took an active part in the civil war. In 1920,
he joined the Bolshevist Party. During the following years he was engaged in
party and trade-union work. From 1931 on, he worked in the chemical industry
as chairman of the central committee of the trade union, and chief of Glav-
khimprom (Main Administration of the Chemical Industry), and in 1939 be became
deputy commissar in the People's Commissariat of the Chemical Industry. In
1946, Lokshin was appointed Deputy Minister of the Chemical Industry USSR, a
position which he held until his death.
Lokshin was modest, industrious, and devoted to the Bolshevist Party, and
his work was highly esteemed by the party and the government. He was awarded
the Order of Lenin, Order of the Patriotic War (Second Class), Order of the
Red Banner of Labor, and a medal "For valiant work in the Great Patriotic War

STATEMENTS OF 19?'3 CFA!'^AT. fi. QUIREMsNT3 -- Moscow, Moskovekaya Pravda, 22 May 52
For the information of coumers oP chemical reagents, the Central ^.hemi-
cal Reagents Base announces thatnsite is accepting annual statements of chemical
reagent requirements for 1953 from consumers in Moakovskaya, Bryanskaya, Ivan-
ovskaya, Kalininakaya, Kal.uzhskaya, Kostromskaya, Ryazanakaya, Tul'skaya, and
Yaroslavskaya oblasts.
Statements of requirements are to be based on price lists which are avail-
able at the Moscow store of Soyuzreaktivabyt, dom 8, Ulitsa 25 Oktyabrya, tele-
phone B 8-66-72.
Statements must be submitted in duplicate, with the appropriate seal, and
signed by the director of the enterprise. It is absolutely necessary to com-
pute the total cost for the year, with the exception of chemical reagents for
which prices are lacking.
The following must not be inclueed in the statements submitted to the
Central Base:
1. Hydroquinone and metol
2. Caustic potash, caustic soda, and perhydrol, provided that the quan-
tity required for the year is more than 10 kilograms each
3. Unstable photochemical substances
4. Salts of precious metals
5. All chemical reagen$q used as industrial raw material in multiple-ton
quantities, and transit quantities of sulfuric,
ammonia, acetone, dicLioroethane, methanol, carbon tetrachloride, electrolyte,
and other chemical reagents which can be shipped to consumers as transit goods
(in railroad cars) directly from the supplying plants, bypassing the base
warehouse.
NOTE: Statements on the chemical reagents enumerated in items
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 should be submitted by consumers to
their own Glavsnab (Main Administration of Supply), not
to the base.
nonferrousemetalsm(aluminum,copper, tlead, cobalt, nickel, chrome,oetc.), only
requirements for laboratory needs should be indicated, since the base does not
provide for production requirements.
Consumers should send requirements for small quantities of reagents
amounting to a total of up to 20,000 rubles to the Moscow store of Soyuzreak-
tivsbyt, not to the base.
Both copies of the year's statements of requirements should be sent to
the Central Chemical Reagents Base, dom 12, Krivokolennyy Pereulok, Moscow,
telephone B-8-61_73, by 1 July 1952. Statements which are late or at variance
