At 3:15 p.m., he will speak in formally to the faculty and grad uate students of the Baylor De partment of Chemistry on the top ic of fuel cell research. Then at 7:45 p.m., he will address the lo cal section of the American Chem ical Society in Room 110 of the Science Hall at Baylor University.

Yeager, who holds membership in many technical and honorary so cieties, is Technical Director of the Uutrasonic Research Labora tory at Western Reserve in addi tion to holding a professorship in chemistry. In 1955, he received the Technical Award of Cleveland Technical Societies Council and the Biennial Award of the Accoustical Society of America in 1946. His present research interests center around applications for ul trasonic waves in chemistry, elec trochemistry (electrode processes and electrolytes) and emission and absorption spectroscopy. • California Prof To Interview Ags For BA Careers Dr. Leonard Marks, Jr., assist ant dean of the Graduate School of Business of Stanford University in Stanford, Calif., will be on the campus Feb. 12-13 to talk with students and staff members who are iuterested in graduate level professional education for careers in business and teaching.

Bader of the De partment of Oceanography and Meteorology will participate as one of the visiting scientists in the American Geological Institute Vis iting Geoscientists Program this year. The Institute is conducting the program for the second straight year with the aid of a grant from the National Science Foundation. Outstanding scientists from vari ous fields of specialization in the the geosciences have been selected by an AGI advisory committee to participate in the 1960 program, Robert C. Stephenson, executive director, Washington, D. C., an nounces. The program is aimed primarily at aiding the smaller departments of geology and geophysics in col leges and universities throughout the United States. The objectives of the Visiting Geoscientist Program are to awak en interest of promising students in the future careers in the “geo” sciences—geology and geophysics —and to encourage these students to pursue an adequate course of academic preparation in the basic sciences as. well as the geosciences in career preparation; to stimulate college faculties in the geosciences to better instruction and to help them become better informed on research and developments in the field of the visitor’s specialization; to improve the understanding and appreciation of the geosciences on the campus and in the community.

Gunman Faces Charges By JOE BENHAM SAN MARCOS (A 5 )—A burly, heavily-armed taxi driver who shot an elderly fellow driver and then held off lawmen for two hours with gunfire Tuesday faces assault to murder charges today. Sandy-haired, red-faced Rugel Rowland, 30, waived examining trial before Justice of the Peace W. G. Callihan, who ordered him held without bail pending a medi cal examination. Used Tear Gas Three team gas shells drove Rowland from the apartment above the bus staton where he fled after firing a 45-caliber bullet into the stomach of Robert Burt, 62, at an adjoining taxi stand. Burt, father of 12, was reported in fair condition folloyqng. surgery. Rowland fired 18 times into the walls of the stucco building and several times through the win dows. Father Flees Two of the shots forced his fa ther, Harlan Rowland, to flee aft er he stepped beneath a window to try to talk his son into surren dering. The elder Rowland said his son recovered recently from a nervous breakdown. Officers held their fire while waiting for Texas Rangers to bring tear gas from Austin, 28 miles north of here. . Hundreds of spectators poured into the business district of this South Centrel Texas college town, crowding near the building de spite shots fired by Rowland from a 30-caliber Army carbine and a pair of .45-caliber pistols. Rowland tossed the pistols ahead of him as he crawled, tears streaming down his face, into a tiny porch outside the apartment after the Rangers fired the gas through a window. Officers found the carbine and a pair of toy pistols inside the three-room flat. No. Reason Witnesses, Rowlqnd’s family and officers could give no reason for the shooting. When newsmen tried to question Rowland, Hays County Sheriff Jack Gary snapped, “Just leave him alone.” “I think he’s mentally sick,” Gary said. He said Rowland signed a statement admitting the shoot ing. Newsmen were not allowed to witness the signing or read the statement. Another driver, 60-year-old Vir gil Inglet, said he had his back turned to Rowland and Burt when he heard Rowland say, “I under stand you’ve used my name in vain.” A pistol shot followed. Inglet said he left through the back door of the one-room stand and ran to a beauty shop which occupies part of the bus station building. He called police and an ambulance.
