R e : Ervey 0. McCarrell Sun Valley, California File B 8289902 - Comp. P/A November 14. 1956
Recent inquiry of the Travelers Insurance Company indicates that a Hearing was held, wherein other defend ants were joined. A tentative agreement for a settlement was reached, however, further details as to various contributions are still being worked out. The Travelers have promised to advise us when this has been finalized. The tentative settlement agreement is for $13,500.
The above is for your information and file.

Armstrong Cork Company Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Attention: R. C. Schiedt Insurance Department
Gentlemen:
At a recent Hearing on the above captioned matter a question of coverage for workmen's compensation insurance by Standard Accident Insurance Company was raised. Our California Inspection Rating Bureau does not have any records with regard to coverage by Standard Accident for Armstrong Cork Company; therefore, we have been asked to determine if you could supply us with the policy numbers for the periods during which Standard Accident carried your workmen's compensation insurance in California.
In addition to t h e above an attempt was made to determine apportionment between the various defendants based upon Social Security Records. However, this was not possible due to the fact that the amounts from any given employer in one year are only recorded up to a maximum of $3,600.00. We have been asked therefore, to ascertain if possible, relative to the periods of employment of Mr. McCarrell, in terms of days laSSet- gross earnings during those periods of employment.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Very truly yours -

Dear Mr. Schiedt:
| re: E. 0. McCarrell \ Workmen's Compensation
We requested a status report from the Travelers on the above case and ve quote from their letter of June 20th, 1958 as follows:
"Shis case is becoming very complicated and costly, due to the advance state of asbestosis.
"The latest reserves set up on this case is temporary total disability $k,000; permanent partial disability $7500; medical $8500.00 and expense $100.
"The man is disabled and we believe will be so indefinitely, with constant medical treat ment. We are endeavoring to join numerous other de fendant employers, in order to show that there was other exposure to asbestosis besides the exposure at the Armstrong Cork Company.
"We have filed an application for hearing, but have not as yet received a setting date."
The above is for your information and file.
Sincerely ALEXANDER & ALEXANDER, INC.

Dear Sir:
The above claim involves an employee by the name of E 0.

This man has been with our assured since approximately lr$4 although we understand he does estimate that possibly for a total of one year he was employed by other insulating companies.
We understand that recently Mr. McCarrell had coughing seizures and of late the coughing became so severe that it caused it him to be sick to his stomach. On or about November 14, 1956, we understand that he was examined by a doctor and a claim was reported to our claim department because of the occupational disease factor. At the present time he i3 unable to work and has to conserve his strength as much as possible.
Our claim department has set up an estimate of $6600.00 on this claim*

This way it is felt that ws will then be able develops recommendations or provide you with sufficient information so that reccaanendations might be developed vich will prevent or minimize this exposure.
