The Laboratory, in conjunction with the United States Public Health Service, undertook a study of tbs use of sodiun fluoride during the pourinx of rim steel . *% . , l in open hearth furnaces. This study was taken ct the Joint request of the United Steel Torbers of America-- 5.1.9. and the Republic Steel Company. The *-- ----- -- addition of sodiun fluoride to nolten steel at the tine it is poured into aolds helps produce an unusually touyh steel which is free from bier holes. It does not ereate a health hazard which could be attributed to the use of sodiun fluoride. This conclusion concurs with the findings that tre have Bade of tests tahen of these operations covering a period of three years. In 1935, the Ruffalo, Her Turk plcni of the Republic Steel Corporation rts insured for Croup insurance, 1 survey was nad* of the plant and reconaendations for the control of hazards found ere sent to the kene^eeent of the Republic Steel Corporation.

George A. Benington Xr. o. T. Terr Mr. W. W. Cook Hr. A. B. van Wirt Hr. Clyde D. Horlatt *'C. Wi f Mr. Wiliiam Rurode (tie?) / Oa July 24th, Z had a conferne with Dr. Schoele, th Surgeon Gnrl of th Public Health Servie concerning the proposed publication of a report of the A clinical examination of employees of the chrooit plant in Ohio. Just previously, Z had* a discussion on this same subject with Dr. Miller, head of the Division of Industrial Hygiene of the Public Health Service, and he told me that he and his staff felt the same way about the Hueper-Mancuso report as I did. .There were present at.-the conference besides Dr. Sehoele, Dr. Williams, Assistant surgeon General in.charge, of States delations, Or. Killer, and myself. Z made a brief statement pointing out to Dr. Schools that the report in question, while it represented a lot of painstaking and detailed work, contained a considerable number of assumptions which were purely a matter of opinion and that the publication of such assumptions would give rise to e great deal of misapprehension and false impressions. Z stressed further that both the Public Health service and other agencies depended upon the cooperation of industry in order to -successfully pursue their investigations in the general field of industrial health and that if they needlessly antagonized industry, they would be unable to count upon such cooperation. Z also suggested tha: all studies of industrial plants be bandied by the personnel of the Division of Industrial Hygiene so as to obviate having representatives from different Federal Agencies visiting an establishment for the same purpose. Z pointed out that the Division of Zndustrial Hygiene has a year of experience in this work and has built up through the year a high degree of confidence on the pert cf industry which greatly facilitated their work. Dr. Killer stated that the Hueper-Mancuso report contained statements et variance with the report shortly to be published by hie Division which contain the results of their studies of chromate plants. The Surgeon General pointed out that he had no control over anything that Dr. Maneuso, who heads up the Division of Industrial Hygiene in the State of Ohio, might wish to publish but he did have such jurisdiction over the officers in his own department. _ Dr. Schools finally stated that he would not make a decision himself but will reler the matter to Dr. Saltrell (illegible) to The National Institute of Health to Dr. Williams, th Assistant Surgeon General. The National Cancer Institute is one of the component parts of the National Institute of Health, all of which is a Division of the Public Health-Service....... .. . .... < t Our conference was very pleasant and Z suspect that the subject matter was not /-- entirely new to either Dr. Schoele or Dr. Williams. I will keep you informed if I hear anything further. \ ajlile ' h. 7.

John Sargent, Executive Vice President Diamond Alkali Company 300 Union Commerce Building Cleveland 14, Ohio i Dear Jack: with reference to Dr. Lanza's letter of July 31 addressed to members of our industry's Hygiene committee, copy of which was sent to your' Kr. W.W. Cooke, I want to give you a little background of the Washington meeting which Dr. Lanza attended and at which in my opinion, he did an outstanding job for the induetry. As you probably'know, 'Dr. :'lfancaso who ifl well known to you and Dr. Hneper of the National Cancer Institute collaborated in the preparation of a Report setting forth their findings and unfortunately, in some cases, their opinions concerning the effects of exposure to chromium dusts. This Report, before publication of course, was submitted to Dr. Killer, Head of the Division of Industrial Hygiene of the Public Health Service who discussed it informally with Dr. Lanza and agreed to give Dr. Lanza a copy with a view to obtaining Dr. Lanza's opinion. Perusal of the Report caused Dr. Lanza to take exception to much of its contents, as a result of which he.jMr. Waters (who is counsel for us as well as Chairman of the legal - * committee of the industrial Hygiene Foundation, our vice president Mr. Tarr and Z got together for the purpose of discussing what could be done about the Report as we all felt that it it were not (illegible) and if it appeared as written under the names of the authors, each of whom is a prominent public official, it could give rise to serious misunderstanding and considerable damage could be caused. As a result of the meeting it was decided that Dr. Lanza, who was formerly with the U.3.F.B.3. and who le well known to many of the Public Health officials, should endeavsr to arrange a meeting with the Surgeon General for the purpose of ascertaining what could be done in the circumstances. Dr. Lanza's letter briefly and too modestly reports the resultant interview with Dr. Schoele and others. He also tells me, confidentially, that while the Federal officials have no jurisdiction over Kancuso it is quite likely that if the Report is printed in its present form it will neither have the endorsement of Dr. Heuper nor the National Cancer Institute which he represents. I shall not attempt to describe the Report as I assume those in your company who have been working with Dr. Mancuso are familiar with it - ..... contents. It practically says that many common ailments o f a i r passages, r* ( x. of head, bronchus and cheat are aggravated and caused by exposure to chroeoJ.ua dusts which presumably means' that claims could be filed by workers suffering from sinus, rhinitis, etc., etc. but probably not hangnail or housemaid's knee, of course the segment of the legal profession which specializes in handling such claims would have available an official document which would seem to give incontrovertible support to -their client's claims, obviously if the Report does not bear the enforcement of the National cancer Institute,then the'industry, when faced with possible claims supported by Mancuso's findings, can truthfully state such enforcement was withheld because the Federal Authorities did not agree with the Report and their position would be strengthened. Z as writing you because of conversations Z have had with you and Ray Evans about this general subject and want you to have the background, which Z hope gives more significance to Or. Lanza's letter. Or. Lanza thinks that it is important to hold a meeting with members of the industry for the purpose of discussing various problems related to this ; general subject `and X have encouraged him to call one in October. . Z know it will be interesting and help give you and possibly Ray Evans, if you can attend, an opportunity to meet Or. Lanza, Mr. Waters and obtain at first hand their views concerning the problem in relation to the Federal Public Health Authorities and the general public. Sincerely, - MUTUAL CHEMICAL CO.

Smith Few York University Poet-Graduate Medical 477 First Avenue Sew York 16, X. Y. School August 24, 1955 Dear Dr. Smith: I have your camaents oa asy Editorial cm "Silicosis, Asbestiois and Cancer ot the Lung" and your inquiry concerning ay more recent activ ities in field studies on occupational cancer problems. The Canadian case referred to in the Editorial applies to the gT< made by the widow of a Mr* Maurice Labbe, 635, 3t. Catherine Street, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada. Bxe legal procedures in regard to this case which were negotiated before the Workmen's Compensation CcsmtlBslan of Quebec took place during the last few ponth* of 1951 -and. the first few m onths of 1952. Bie Special Legal Advisor to the Minister of Labour of Quebec was Mr. Louis F. Cantin, 255, Grande-Allc, Quebec, P. Q., Canada. My activities in field work on environmental cancer were discontinued during the latter port of the suaner of 1951 when Z Was requested to stop such activities and have no further contacts with industry or state health departments in matters of environmental and occupational cancer. This event vas brought about by a complaint, as I was officially told, about ay activities in regard to studying conditions bringing about lung cancers among workers employed in the chromate industry, made to my superiors in Washington in behalf and in Interest of the American chromate Industry by Sr. Lanza, as its medical representative. Sr. Lnnaa apparently acted in the role of a lobbyist beoauee in a telephone conversation on July 25 > 1951, I hod in regard to this matter with Mr. 0. F. Tarr, Vice President, Mutual Chemical Company, I was told Sr. Lanza had taken this step in behalf of the American chromate industry.
