Dear Dr. Kehoe:
Herewith is copy of letter from the attorneys representing General Motors Research Corporation and ourselves in the claims made by people at Dayton based upon alleged injuries arising out of the
blending plant there* regarding suggested examination of ^
Our attorneys recently had the suits which were brought in
the U. S. District Court at Dayton dismissed and our best information
is that the decision of the court v/as that they were covered b y the
Workmen *s Compensation Law and that they had no remedy at common law.
As you know, we have been paying Ross something right along and do not intend taking any arbitrary stand just because of this favorable decision, although we do rather strongly feel that we are being imposed upon b y 4 H t and that he could work if he wanted to. However, you will note tffi.t Mr. Cowden has thought it advisable to have an examination of him made b y you and Dr. Brower.
Mr. McEvoy, who is, in addition to the title referred to in
the letter, also the General Attorney for General Motors, is agreeable
to such examination and wanted to know my viewpoint. I wired him
and also Mr. Cowden that I thought it was a good plan in order that
we might have the best and uptodate information as to his physical
condition.
'
I presume that Mr. Cowden will communicate with you regard ing this subject and hope that an agreeable appointment to suit your convenience can be arranged.
Yours very tiWAly,
/? <;/ L/
