May 23, 1944 19' Mr. F. E. Woimser, Lead Industries Association, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York City 17 Dear Mr. Wormser* I am sending you herewith a sheaf of articles that will give you much of the material on the Queensland controversy. It seemed simpler to send you the articles than merely to send you the references, since you will find in the articles numerous references which you may wish to follow up. I am also sending the typewritten abstracts and copied parts of certain other articles that are not too easily available. We do not have extra copies of any of this material, and there fore I shall expect you to take good care of them and to return them all to us within a reasonable time in the not too distant future. I have kept a list of all the things we have sent you, and if they do'not come back fairly promptly, I shall expect to heckle you until they do. I also enclose a card which: gives the reference to the article I mentioned on Lead Poisoning in connection with the use of leaded gasoline in army kitchens. This is the only one of this kind that has appeared, and I believe you will agree with me that it would have been much better if it had never been published. With kindest regards. Cordially yours.
