Chemist Studies
^Fishy’ Problem
A Texas A&M chemist is study
ing methods of converting fish
into flour.
Dr. W. W. Meinke, head of the
Chemurgic Research Laboratory,
received a research grant of
$5,078 recently from the South
west Engineering Company of
Los Angeles, Calif., to test equip
ment to produce oil-free flour
from sea life.
The fish protein concentrate,
as the flour is called, may be an
inexpensive means to provide pro
tein in human diet. Three quart
ers of a pound of the flour pro
vides the daily protein require
ment for one person.
“The development of techniques
to produce wholesome fish protein
supplement could play a major
role in alleviating malnutrition
in the world,” Meinke pointed
out.
“The ocean provides an in
exhaustible supply of animal pro
tein to feed the starving popula
tions of the world. Economic
methods to tap this rich reserve
of the sea must be developed,
however,” he added.

It’s easy—even fun. You listen
to the record, then talk along

in a few hours.
For only $2.45 you can see if
a particular language appeals to
your interest and aptitude. Or
learn enough to make foreign
travel more pleasant. At the very

Davis Honored At Wildlife Banquet
Dr. W. B. Davis, professor of
wildlife science, has been awarded
a plaque by the Texas Chapter
of the Wildlife Society for con
tributions to conservation and
management of Texas wildlife.
Dr. James Teer, Texas Chapter
president and A&M wildlife sci
ence professor, praised Davis for
training more than 60 per cent
of professional wildlife people in
Texas and many men in wildlife
leadership positions throughout
the nation.
The award was made at a ban
quet over the weekend in the
Ramada Inn.
Davis retired as department
head last year to devote full time
to teaching and research. He
joined the staff in 1937 and be
came department head in 1942.
The professor has written more
than 75 scientific articles and two
books on mammology and wild
life management, and is a past
president of the American Society
of Mammologists.
A&M President Earl Rudder
reviewed his impressions of a 10-
day visit to Vietnam in March
at the banquet.
“The war must be won before
real educational progress can be
made,” he said. “Teaching pro
grams are poorly co-ordinated
and there is a shortage of teach
ers.”
Rudder was one of two Texans
in President Johnson’s task force
to study educational needs in the
stricken Asian country.
He saw a vital need for na
tional cohesion.
“The people must understand
that education is the key to their
economic, social and political ad
vancement,” Rudder declared.
Railroad Official
Cites Problems
In Transportation
Improved waybilling and zone
loading concepts must be de
veloped for private industry to
retain transportation shipping, a
railroad official declared Friday.
T. R. Cheney, manager of
merchandise traffic for Atlantic
Coastline Railroad, spoke on a
small shipment problems panel in
the final day of A&M’s eighth
annual Transporttion Conference.
More than 100 transportation
executives of the nation met for
the three-day parley.
Economic problems faced by
truckers, railroads and other
shipping methods threaten to
force nationalization of trans
portation systems.
“If free enterprise companies
cannot find a way to provide this
essential service at a low cost, it
will be provided by the federal
government,” Cheney warned.
He nqted 86 per cent of pack
age freight delivered in the U. S.
is by common carrier truck lines.
Five per cent is by freight for
warders, two per cent by express
and slightly over two per cent by
railway.
The former trucker explained
how “piggy-backing” allows rail
roads to compete with truck lines
for speed and economy. By mov
ing truck trailers most of the
distance by rail and completing
delivery by truck, “10 to 15 days
shipment from Atlanta to Or
lando is getting second morning
delivery,” the former sales man
ager of Ryder Truck Lines said.
“We surveyed rate situations
and found in almost every in
stance our rates were below those
of motor carriers,” he added.
The conference was sponsored
by the Texas Transportation
Institute at A&M.
