Ames Public Relations Manager Corning Fiberglas Corporation Nicholas Building Toledo 1 Ohio Dear Mr. Ames In reference to your letter regarding Mr. Albert Baumgardner of Holland Ohio I regret to see that there has been any belief that his condition could have been attributed in any way to handling or exposure to Fiberglas This I don't bel toi bee thev cae se bec as ta he u works by e Dr. Leroy U. Gardner of Saranac and others has indicated exposure to glass fibers involves no hazard to the lungs I believe it is clear that Mr. Baumgardner's condition is due to other causes entirely Note Could it be properly added that such causes were due to exposure over a period of years to asbestos products which are quite different in physical character and have demonstrated them- selves to cause asbestosis when subjected to an individual for long periods of time Very truly yours
