ALEX. STEWART [51 RECTOR OF RESEARCH NATIONAL LEAD COMPANY RESEARCH LABORATORIES I 05 YORK STREET BROOKLYN I, N.Y. October 6, 1947. Dr. Robert A. Kehoe, Director, Institute of Industrial Health, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Dr. Kehoe: Some time ago when I was in Cincinnati I talked with your secretary about the possibility of developing a program of s tudy in connection with the toxicity of paint films. However, due to one delajr or another I have not been able to write you s ooner. I wonder if you could undertake a study covering the relative toxicity of paint films. In addition to this, we now have the possibility of paints containing DDT or similar insecticides, h'e do have a general program of study planned which we should like to talk over with you. In addition to our program, we should like to learn a little more about the new Institute of Industrial Health program which you are creating. In this connection we should be pleased to finance a fellowship and if you will let us know something about the cost, I should be pleased to present it to our people for approval. At your convenience* wo are looking forward to meeting with you* Yours very truly,- , J&u+t kt 0014166
