Hoyt, President of the Council for Tobacco Research, retired today after 30 years with the organization and its predecessor. Also retiring was another 30-year veteran, Dr. Robert C.

Hobbs praised Hoyt and Dr. Hockett for their "valuable contributions in helping make the Council's research program unioue in the world of sci- entific endeavor." He said both men would continue to serve the Council as consultants. The Council also announced the addition to its scien- tific staff of Dr. Harmon C. McAllister, Jr., as an Associ- ate Research Director.

Hoyt became the first full-time staff employee of the Tobacco Industry Research Committee when it was established in 1954. It later became the Council for Tobacco Research- U.S.A., Inc., but its goal remained unchanged: to sponsor research by independent scientists into smoking and health. Dr. Hockett was named Associate Scientific Director when he was hired by the Committee in 1954. (MORE)
