the saae sense as sllleosls dees the effect should be just as apparent
T^3rfrt'\.?5rollni1 **** Pennsylvania as it seems to be in Quebec or England But the films of eaployed asbestos workers in the States show a very low

As Z sensed the situation in lontrati yesterday the
a :asbestos industry will nave to produce videos to prove this point and

As X Indicated la ny last latter the Quebec experience . is not ye t analysed] there le only an Impressle n T S It most. eT't&e I, asbestos workers die of tnbereulosls without taking late eeebunt the t excessive prerralestee of such infection'among the' population of the l Province. This impression needs aerification by careful aaalyele of
norHdity end nortallty statistics collected fron the enpleyees of the asbestos industry* front their ftallles not exposed to asbestos dust and free other eoataitts in the Province of Quebec. Such data should then be coopered with similar statletiee for asbestos workers in other countries. Xf there le a specific occupational predisposition to tuber : ouloeie it ill beoono eppsreat oa such analyses just as it.has for 1 silicosis. Wherever sllicoaie'ie being created* the high nortallty fron ;.tuberculosis esnnot be hidden.
X do not believe that there is nuoh tuberculosis _ Iasbestos workers in the United States end suspect that the excess nortallty I from this cease la England is probably due. to tbe low living jtaadards jof industrial workers. Possibly selection~oT cases-Coning to autopsy ^as" influenced the picture. Anerieea studies have tins far felled to demonstrate enough tuberculosis among asbestos workers to eauso ooemsat* The U. S. Public health Service Study of isbestosls in the Asbestos Textile industry la forth Carollaa*iBulletln 241)* issued in 1938. hardly nentloned tuberculosis* dlsnlesiag the subject with the etatenant on page 91 that "there were only 2 oeeee of eetiwe* pulntmary fabereuloaln
in the group" (541 employees). Shull* (Badiology 27* So* 3* 279-2921 193.6) exeniaed 71 of 100 oases diseharged free the plants where the Public Health Service nade its study 19 months later and found 8 ness conplleated by tuberculosis of alight to noderate extent bit only 2 were
active* These two subsequently died of this eeueo sad la 2 then the
infection later beeane active. Shull states la his conclusions that
\
asbestosla although he
.does decs
not not
predispose te tnbereulosls* Presuautiy he infers* say so* that the A cases of active disease among
541 workmen represented accunulated disabilities when the examination procrea wee inaugurated. Donnelly (J, Xnd. Byg. end fox. 18* Sc* 4f* 222-228tl936)~also srtsrtwed 151 diseharged employees Including the100 reported by Shull* Be gives more details on the oases of tuberculosis* One of then had worked in the asbestos industry for 5 months end the others 15 months* The renstulug 2 ted worked I end 10 years respectively sad their Infestlens might tews beam aggravated by exposure to.asbestos dust* Is points out* however* that aa laeidenee of 2 saaes among 151 industrial employees is no higher than in any otter industrial group* lePheeters* (jr.Xnd. 8jf. end Tex** 18* 229%9i 1936) likewise ex amined and reported on thseo oases and he is in entire agreement with the other reporters* Xa his conclusions te states, Vs activating or iaggravating offset of asbestos dust or asbestosls or tuberculosis was \obeerved." finally X believe X told yon that X Wvelf, bed just re turned fren Berth Carolina where X ted reviewed m e t films of eons 100 employees of the local asbestos industry and saw only one that showed any indication of adult typo pulmonary tuberculosis.

One clause appealed to than particularly, considering the sanditiena they faced in tha mining Industxy In the Joplin aaeter.

Many operators bought Group insurance, aonaeloua of the foot that Graup policies gave the nlnars a naoaaalty which coat sa auoh under ordinary elrcunstenoes they caoldn't buy na such protection aa they naadad.
Another thing that appealed to the Joplin operators was the

emerged frra these studies and Investigations is that small children, par-

situation onuses concern to the public health authorities, par
ticularly of our larger industrial cities. The paint industry is also thorougiily
conversant vitt this situation, shares this concern and is anxious to cooperate
*?S8iila Vith tbe
health authorities in steps that maybe
effective in the prevention of lead poisoning avnng children.
^he American Standards Association has appointed a subcommittee 266 to consider x&beling of coatings and it can be stated that the work cf this sub committee is being prosecuted with gratifying speed. It is expected that this committee will report at an early date on standard labels for paints suitable for interiors, furniture and toys* This will enable the paint manufacturers
to submit these labels to the health authorities with the assurance that they will meet the needs of any child health situation where special labeling is indicated.
For seme considerable time, lead paints have not been used by manu
facturers of onildrea's toys, cribs and other furniture designed for use by
smf^-_b^*ren* The above committee, in which paint manufacturers and health
authorities are represented, has as one of its objectives the
of
more than a minimal amount of lead and other toxic ingredients from interior
paints. Lead-containing paints are used for outside painting where the paint
is exposed to the weather.

A study was made of the possible exposure of employees to hydrogen
fluoride generated by the addition of sodium fluoride to molten steel when wring rim heat. The study was mode over a prolonged period to dotormino
the extent of the exposure of employees before this method of
steel

Company due to complaints of employees t&o had been exposed to the irritating
fumes of hydrogen fluoride generated at a similar process. It is interesting to note that before any new process is developed or any new materials ore

the metropolitan to make a study to dotormino tho existence of any possible

materials shipped to the laboratory from plants of our Group policyholders. These
tests were mostly for free end total silica. A number of materiols used in our
Home Office buildings has also been analysed.

In addition to the above surveys, 'the plants or offices of three
policyholders were visited end advice given regarding hazards or medical service.

Merch 12, 19^2, through December 1-Uk, when he resumed his connection with the
Metropolitan. Comissioned a lieutenant colonel less than three months after the
Pearl Harbor attack, Dr. Lanza was later promoted to colonel. He was director
of the occupational health division, preventive medicine service, office of the
surgeon general. His office had entire charge of industrial hygiene and industrial
medical service in all the plants owned and operated by the Army, including
Ordnance plants, Chemical Warfare plants, air bases, and ports of embarkation.
These Army-operated industrial plants employed at their peak about 900,000
civilians, of whom approximately ho percent were women. In addition, the occupaticna
health division was responsible for and maintained supervision over Army-owned
contractor-operated industrial plants. The occupational health division also
maintained the Army industrial hygiene laboratory which was located in the
School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins university, in Baltimore. This laboratory
was under the direction of Colonel Raymond Hussey. The occupational health
division was also responsible for the organization of the Armored Forces medical
research laboratory at Fort Knox, which was under the direction of Colonel
Willard Machle.
Dr. Lanza carried out his assignment with such sterling ability that he
was awarded the Legion of Merit Medal, which was presented to him in April 19^5
The citation accompanying the presentation of the sward reads: .
.
"For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding
services from March 19^2 to December 19^ Colonel Lanza contributed in a high
degree to the development of the Amy's present industrial health program for
civilian workers in Arty owned and operated industrial plants. He organized for
the Surgeon General a special health service which protects the health of almost
