Dr. Lanza's unpublished 1932 Report on his I study of the Manville, New Jersey, plant workers revealed that 327 of the 1140 workers evaluated -- 29\ -- had signs of asbestosis. (The report labeled positive x-ray results . for workers exposed to asbestos only at Manville . ~ I "asbestosis", and called positive x-rays for those who had ~ worked in dusty conditions before their Manville employment "pneumoconiosis"). Forty-three asbestosis cases were found in the Pipe Covering and Cement Departments: The report noted that those departments had the "highest percentage of asbestosis cases". Additionally, the report showed asbestos disease ~mong a broad range of workers, including many in jobs which.Manville classified as having no exposure to dust, including two machinists (Case Nos. 110 and 321), two J steamfitters (Case Nos. 129 and 130), five packing and shipping' department 'workers (Case Nos. 80, 88, 108, 172 and 183), a pipefitter (Case No. 312), a watchman (Case No. 319), a millwright (Case No. 324), a glove department worker (Case No. 185), and an outside laborer (Case No. 220). In addition, cases were found among those working in the departments where finished materials like firefelt, magnesia, or superex (materials containing only a minority percentage of asbestos) were cut and sawed (Case Nos. 25, 149, and 199 respectiv$iy). These findings, howeyer, ~ neve, Dublished. Bxhibit: III - 27 .. ': -_..iJ . " t .....- . ~ i .' "'.:=:::.:.. ~ -If... .,., .. .l ... ...,............,........ _le,... a' .......

Wheatlej Medical Director , l-ietropolitan Lite Insuranoe Company ',~ New York, New York '. ~ .... ~, '1'- - ,.,' . Dear Dr. iheatley: I have recently been in comounication ,,,ith lir. Vandiver Brown ..and the local attcrneys ot the Canadian Asbestos interests regarding the matter of your proposec investigation of the incidence of tuberculosis in the Province of Quebec. I have assured these gentlemen thet it would be most desirable from every standpoint if one could obtain more accurate information on the incidence ot tuberculosis in this section ot Canada. The local dootors appreoiate that they have a problem but I am not sure that they realize how serious it is. From the claims standpoint in the asbestos industry I think there is a tendenoy to attribute muoh ot th1s 1nfeotion to exposure to asbestos d~st. I don't be11eve that t~~s opinion can be -~ubstantiated beeaule ln other sectlons ot this oountry where there is J:luoh more asbestosis than there 1s ln Q,uebeo, the tuberoulosis rates are not excesslve. In taot 1n North Carolina there is less tuberculosi in those exposed to asbestos dust than in all the other 1ndustrles. I be11eve lt would be most des1rable it your organization could e.t~l.Bh both male and temale rates ln the communities ot Thettord and Asbestos and also al controll determine rates in other industrial towns otsimilar size. This would a'tord the intormation which is badly needed on the tuberculosis rates among thole exposed to asbestol and provide adequate controls. I would be very much surprised it you tound anY,exoels ot tuberoulos1s in the expoeed male population ot the communit~ where asbe,tos i, mined and milled. A bulletln published by the Metropolitan setting torth these tlnd1ngs would do much to clar1ty the local op1n10ns on this catter. We bave completed our counts on Mr. Fehnel's samples of t~e dust taken at Manv11le and t1nd that the total concentrat10ns are apparently low. Most ot the samples contain appreciable amounts of asbestostibre and we are 100k1ng to~ard to making a oomparative study of the m~terial that he will colleot in ~uebeo in the ooming weeks.

NOV, 26 .. 1975 Copiel! p., KOTIN, MD Subject: OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE INFORMATION - MANVILLE PLANT SOME TIME AGO I DISCUSSED THE DATA CONTAINED ON THE ATTACHED SHEET WITH YOU. THIS IS A LIST OF ALL THE PNEUMOCONIOSIS CASES AT THE HANVILLE/FINDERNE COMPLEX. THE FIRST COLUMN INDICATES THE DATE OF DIAGNOSIS. THE SECOND COLUMN DESIGNATES THE NUMBER OF CASES DIAGNOSED IN THAT PARTICULAR YEAR. THE THIRD COLUMN INDICATES LENGTHS OF SERVICE IN YeA~S. IN OTHER WORDS .. IN 1932, FOUR CASES OF PNEUMOCON10SIS WERE DIAGNOSED. THREE OF THOSE FOUR CASES HAD 12 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. ONE HAD 15 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. IN 1943, THREE CASES WERE IDENTIFIED-ONE CASE WITH ONLY TWO YEARS OF EXPOSURE .. THE SECOND WITH l~ YEARS OF EXPOSURE .. AND THE THIRD WITH 27 YEARS qF EXPOSURE. AS you CAN SEE, MANY OF THE EMPLOYEES IN THOSE EARLY YEARS HAD VERY FEW YEARS OF EXPOSURE BEFORE THEY CONTRACTED SOME DEGREE OF PNEUMOCONIOSIS. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IN THE YEAR 1971, SIX CASES WERE IDENTIFIED. IN 1972, NO CASES WERE IDENTIFIED. IN 1973, ONLY TWO CASES WERE IDENTIFIED. IN 197~, TEN CASES WERE IDENTIFIED. THERE ARE MANY CONCLUSIONS THAT COULD BE DRAWN FROM THIS DATA. THERE ARE MANY EXTRAPOLATIONS THAT COULD BE MADE FROM THIS DATA. AS YOU MAY KNOW, WE ARE CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN A VERY MASSIVE STUDY OF OUR MANVILLE POPULATION TO FURTHeR OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASE QUESTION. THIS STUDY IS BEING CONDUCTED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR, JERRY CHASE WITH ON-LOCATION ASSISTANCE OF CLIFF SHECKLER. BECAUSE OF THE S!Z: THE STUDY, WE WIL~"NOT HAVE THE COMPLETED RESULTS FOR AP- \ PROXIMATELY THREE TO FOUR YEARS. HOWEVER, MANY ANSWERS SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING AT THAT TIME . L~1. "L' w. B.
