Y. 10017 - OR 9-6020 April 28 LIA 151 (Special) Further information: Don Fowler DR. KEHOE HONORED BY LEAD PRODUCERS Chicago -- Dr. Robert A. Kehoe, internationally known authority on industrial toxicology, was honored here today by the presentation of a plaque in recognition of 30 years of service. The occasion was a special luncheon at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Lead Industries Association, Inc. The plaque is the most recent of many honors accorded Dr. Kehoe for his pioneering work in environmental medicine, trace metal metabolism, and related fields. The Industrial Medical Association, of which he is a member, has given him its highest honor, the William A. Knudsen Award. He has been similarly ^ - r >honored by being named Cummings Memorial Lecturer by the American Industrial Hygiene Association, of which he is pa.st President. In June, Dr. Kehoe will retire as Professor of Medicine .and Director of the Kettering Laboratory in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Industrial Health at the College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati. The new Administration Building of the Kettering Laboratory there has been named for him. The simple lead plaque awarded him at the luncheon expresses the respect he has won in his work with lead toxicology in particular. His work in this field began in the very early days of mass manufacture of automobiles with the purpose of achieving safety and high health standards in the manufacture and use of tetraethyl lead for gasoline. The excellent record which has been maintained in this area can be largely traced to work performed by Dr. Kehoe. - **** N22058.0 Note -- Photos taken at the luncheon will be available on request as soon as possible. - 30- \ " piti nU 4a 0r *4+ Lead Industry Shows Optimism For Continued M arket Expansion (Continued from first page) Mr. Hubbeil explained how his company and other aluminum enamelers c a n n o w produce purcelain enamel that contains lead oxide that results in a high quality product for architectural applications.
