REPORTS OF THE SECF.FTAFf AliC TRFA5UFEE
The reports are attached as Fxhlblts "A" and "E." The secre tary emphasized how well the members of the Association had worked together in meeting the many unusual problems that had arisen during the year, even though there may have been a certain amount of diversity of Interest. The secretary offered to ansrer any
questions that members night have on the reports. There being no Questions, the reports were approved.
REPORT OR THE PRESILENT
The president then presented the following report:
The year 1951 - another "emergency" year - no doubt marked a turning point in our history. Ey flexing its muscles, nationally and internationally, the United States demonstrated to the world that it was fast preparing to meet military force with military force, should political eventualities so dictate. Pore and more it begins to appear that war has teen averted, at least for the im mediate future. At the same time, however, the imposition of emer gency controls in the United States brought about much disturbance to industry, and again made it necessary to turn to Washington for decisions that would orcinarily be made in the market place. The country has had a mild test of government planning in action. In lead, it created a troublesome end unnecessary shortage. Although it may be too early to appraise the overall benefits and disadvan tages of controls, I dare say the disposition among Industry is
overwhelmingly for a speedy return to private enterprise, especially now that the lead shortage la over.

April 18, 19P
For many years there has been practically no selling effort re quired to market lead procucts. It begins to appear that tils period Is on Its way out, which will be to the best Interests of everyone. The tremendous fluctuations that have occurred In the market for lead have been unpleasant, but. In my humble esti mation, preferable to ar.y government attempt to Introduce stabili zation. Economic forces were too strong to avoid them.
From time to time reports have appeared In government sources predicting an Indefinite shortage In lead. I think those who have taken them all with a grain of salt will find their Judgment vin dicated by the course of events. The Lead Industries Association can co much, I believe, to assure current and prospective users about the availability of future supplies of the metal from which we all derive our living. Tou undoubtedly noticed the statement the Association recently published on that score.
In anticipation of the time when we shall again have to wear
out shoe leather looking for business, it is comforting to realize tnat the Lead Industries Association, drawing on an experience of 4 years, is in a positior to aid us all, not only with excellent statistics, with fundamental research that has demonstrated its
value, with assistance on legislative matters in ' ashington, and with actual promotional efforts. The Association, from a modest beginning, has grown to an organization of international scope In keeping with the times. After all, lead Is a world commodity and the exchange of views among producers and consumers all over the world Is bound to be beneficial to everyone.
I want to thank all of the members who have so consistently given It support, year after year. They must feel, as I do, that this agency can continue to be of great help to us all, where we have common problems to meet. A word of thanks Is also due to the able staff of the Lead Industries Association for their industry and devotion to the welfare of the metal we produce or use.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY Summarising the Activities
of tha Lead Industries Association
For the Tsar 1951
Exhibit "A* April IB-19, 1952
Certainly the lead Industry, like most all industries, vaa faced with a multiplicity of vexing problems in 1951. Te believe that tha Association once again proved Itself of irvr.luable assistance in meeting many cf these problems. In so doing we further believe that the Associa tion ccr.pleted the year in as strong a position as it has ever enjoyed in rusher of members, in finances, in prestige both aoonj its Berbers and on the outside.
Jhlle mretlng the emergency problems of the moment, the Associa tion also maintained its efforts to acquaint users and prospective user* of lead products with their advantages end how beet to use them. The wisdom of these continuin' activities is proved by the recent change in the lead market from shortage to plenty. Some of those activities have met with outstanding success.
Each day brings evidence of the wisdom of establishment of our Safety and Hygiene division as a full-time activity a few yeers ago. It has aided in the solution of problems of toxicity which militate against the use of iead and the medical research idiich it supports has brought the industry much good will. There is much acre that it can and should do to educate the jedical profession and others in the diagnosis and treatment of lead poisonin' and in the proper handling of lead and its products. Without more vork in this eirection it seers impossible to correct the vast asrunt of adverse publicity, often unfair, to which our incustry ia subjected.
The success of operations of the Association during the past year is, of course, largely dependent on the excellent and unselfish co operation of our members. This has in many cases required that personal dc'lres be set asida or modified. 'e arc deeply appreciative of this attitude and of the time and thought and effort put into tne Association by its officers, directors, conclttee meabers and member* in general,
7e are also proud of our staff and wish to express slncsrt appreciation of their efforts during the past year.
Following are tha details of our 1951 activitlesi

As of Deemaber 31, 1951, th* Association htd 6? rgul*r and 7 associate members, Three ns* members were added daring the year. Ons la the 'Teatern Lead Products Company of Los Angeles, Another la Anaconda Copper Mining Company, which was an original member through it* sub sidiary, International Smelting and Refining Company, but ahich in 1951 expanded its membership through the parent company to wbrsc* all it* lead operation*, lhe third 1* the Metals Refining Company, of Humwad, Indiana, a new cocpany organised to talc* over the l*d operation* of predecessor company of the same name itilcb had long been a member as subs idial7 of the (Hidden Company.
On* member, the General Lead Manufacturing Company, waa lest numerically th -our.h it* absorption by another member conpary.
Current membership list 1* attached.
STATISTICS
There were no changes in the regular statistical services of the Association during the year. Special statistical information has been provided Government defense agencies on request from time to time. TJ* have still been unable to inaugurate a simple and prompt secondary lead statistical service, although smst members have been cooperative, beceus* the coverage is insufficient. Efforts to provide such service will continue.
AKNUAI HEETIW
The 1951 annuel meeting was held at the Blltmore Hotel, Hew Tork, and again was highly successful. Attendance was approximately 1L0. At this meeting s resolution was adopted urging the Government to establish a more realistic ceiling price for lead in relation to the world market and proposing suspension of the import duty on lead, with certain safe guards, during the emergency. Both recommendations were later adopted by the Government.
OOrjJOraT REUTI0H3
The Association was able to assist in eventual adoption by the Government of the policies set forth in the resolution mentioned above. It was also able to assist in obtaining permission for manufacturers of lead products to pass on the Increased coat of the higher ceiling pric* for lead. Many interpretations and clarifications of Government order* have been obtained for members, both individually md as a group.
tfe hive attempted to keep all Government agencies properly In formed of the letd situation to avoid ill-considered controls and sub stitutions, This has involved contact not only with the Lead Branches of N.P.A, and O.P.3., but also other branches dealing with paints and othor products containing lead and with other Government departments such as Army and Navy, ihlch specify and use lead products, he have resisted effort* at changes in Government specifications, made In the guise of emergency, which aould have militated against the us* of lead product*.

Annual Hestlngi
->* April 1&-19, 1952
A great amount of time ns spent with technical personnel In mny Government agencies involving the use of lead both In the defense program and in normal activities, These Included, in addition to the defense end military agencies, the Motional fiuresu of Standards, the Atonic Energy Commission, ths Public Buildings Administration, tho
federal Housing Authority, the Bureau of Ulnes and other#.
The Association also used its best effort* to hava lead released from stockpile, as an emergency measure only, to relieve the extreme temperary shortage in the fall, an action subsequently taken by the Government.
BOLimtS ACT PUELIClTIOtB
The Association issued 39 Defense Bulletins in 1951 to aid In keeping members Informed of Government orders and other actions affecting their operations.
Six Information Bulletins were sent to members to post them on general information about the Association, or the industry that adght not otherwise come to their attention.
Only two issues of LEAD were published in 1951 because of the shortage of lead existing throughout the year. This la circulated to about 35,000 users and potential users of lead. Tilth load now in good supply, it may be well to consider a mors frequent publication schedule*
Other publications are mentioned under the sections of this re port dealing with specific promotional programs.
LE'.D HTGISg
were i
Among the more lsqwrtant activities in ths field of lead hygiene
1. Sufport of the study of childhood lead poisoning at tha Children's Hospital in Boston was continued. Enough cases have now been studied so that an informative report may be expected before long.
2. Arrangements have finally been completed to start a study of chlldiood lead poisoning at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore about July 1, 1952. and suitable personnel has been secured. That city has long been a hotbed of adverse publicity on this subject.
3. An Independent study of chll*ood lead poisoning has been started in Cincinnati vlth laboratory work conducted under the super vision of Dr. Robert Kehoe at the University of Cincinnati.
Childhood lead poisoning continues to be our most trouble some problem and the cause of much publicity. He have accuaulated hundreds of newspaper clippings on tho subject. It is evident that these cases cannot be min down individual ly, esse by case, with any hope of curing the situation. An overall broad approach of education of tho stodlcal profession, education of parents and other protective measures seems essential.
Annual Meetingi
-b- April 18-19, 1952
5. We have encouraged Improved chemical and laboratory facilities for the determination of lead absorption wherever possible to prevent illdia^nosos. In the past year the Cleveland Clinic has provided such a laboratory with personnel cc-peter,t to aid physicians In Iced diagnosis. A new clinic, nith similar facilities, la being constructed at Salt lake City and serious consideration Is being given one In the Mew fork City Health Departaiont.
6. Preliminary steps were taken, with the cooperation of member* who make lead compounds, toward uniform warning labeling of these products, as a result of two states that already have labeling law* and other* that contemplate them.
7. tfe are serving on a committee sponsored by the American Standards Association to study the broad problem of childhood hasards, including a standard for *safa* paints to use on children's furniture and toys.
B. We have followed closely developments in the use of SKA," a new chemical compound that gives indication of value in the treatment and perhaps the prevention of lead poisoning.
9. The study of the safety of red lead paint for water tank interiors was continued with wholly satisfactory results and has led to removal of an objectional paragraph in the Federal Specification for those paints.
10. A study of the dermatological effects of lead stabiliser* for plastics was financed at the University of Cincinnati and a report of results provided Interested aieabers.
11. Twenty-one hygiene and safety bulletins were issued to member* in 1951. OT these, 16 were a new series of legislative bulletins listli$ state and Federal Inflation introduced which night be of interest to members. A survey at the year-end indicated that most members found this service helpful and wanted it continued.
12. Ir. addition to the special activities mentioned a large oluae of correspondence and telephone calls with both members and out siders has been handled. This is probably the most time-consuming part of the work but is extremely important.
METALLIC LEAD HCIUCT3 IITISIOH
A detailed report of the activities of this Division was sent to its members on October 15, 1951. The following summarises that report!
1. Two practical field men have promoted the specification of lead in plusfcing codes and its use In plumbing and water works systems by personal calls on plumbers, city officials, water works engineers and by ad<resslng meetings of plumbers' organisations.
2. They have also promoted the proper Instruction in lead work of plumbers' apprentices in classes throughout the country.
