No provision was made for any Negro chemical units. In the summer of 1940 the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-3, recommended modification of the PMP in order to provide more Negro units. The CWS initially felt the effects of the new policy when the ist Chemical Decontamination Company, constituted as a white company in the PMP, was activated on i August 1940 at Fort Eustis, Virginia, as a Negro unit. ... 

Rillieux, for example, had trouble filing for U.S. patents. An official who returned one of his forms wrote, It is required that the applicant shall make oath or affirmation of citizenship and as the laws of the United States do not recognize slaves as citizens, it is impossible for the negro slave to bring his application before the office. Rillieux exploded furiously, Now, I was the applicant for the patents and not the slave. I am a citizen of the United States and made oath of the facts in my affidavit.. . . How could the Commissioner arrive at such a monstrous conclusion against the express declaration to the contrary ...

While Mexican immigrants had been pouring into the south and midwest, New York s Harlem was the scene of a vast influx of Negroes from the West Indies and the southern United States.

The INT-RI catalyst can be used in fixed bed hydrotreating units to improve the residue quality, from a high sulfur residual to a low sulfur fuel oil [6]. Tests were performed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of directly processing these residues, using atmospheric residue of Cerro Negro and Iranian Gach Saran crude oils as feedstocks. These residues are characterized by a higher content of asphaltenes and Conradson Carbon than the deasphalted oils [5,6]. Therefore, the effect of these two variables on the performance of the catalyst, can be evaluated.
