Visit to European Lead Associations and Automobile Manufacturers. Autccoblle plants visited vblle in Europe by cur Health and Safety Director vere Fiat In Italy, Volksvagon in Germany, Renault in France and Ford, Vauxhall and Pressed Steel in England. A vide variety, both in kind end quality, of lead control programs vere found In European manufacturing plants. A definite lnpressioa vas gained that use of lead in autccoblle manufacturing in Europe is being reduced due to difficulty in controlling health hazards in manufacturing establishments. \fe propose tc set up a liaison vlth our European counterparts to furnish assistance in overccolng any hazard control problems. 8. Kettering Toxicology Abstracts. Agreement has been reached vlth the Kettering Laboratory for publication beginning this year of these ab stracts of the vorld literature on lead toxicology and hygiene. It is expected that publication vill be at the rate of four times a year and that this material vill be furnished without charge to selected physicians and public health people vho need it and can make the best use of It. It is our hope that such a service by LXA will be highly regarded by the recipients, and in addition vill help to set the record straight aa far as facts about lead toxicology are concerned. 9- California Hearing on L-ad Bill. The Health and Safety Director together with representatives of the major lead anti-knock producers attended a legislative hearing on a bill to ban the use of lead additives in gasoline in California. Testimony by proponents of the bill did not im press the cocalttee conducting the hearing; and conversely testimony on our side by Dr. Kehoe of the Kettering Laboratory and Hr. Eesselberg of the Ethyl Corporation vas very impressive and resolved the queatloa for the com mittee. The bill vas not approved. 10. Symposium on Trade Metals end Disease. This vas held in conjunction with the AAA3 Meeting at Montreal and vas conducted and arranged by Pro fessor Harry Warren, geologist, from the University of British Columbia. Four paper* vere given along the general theme that more work should be conducted by scientists to determine the influence of metals in soil, air, and vater on public health. Since lead is one of the trace metals dis cussed It vas mentioned by several of the speakers as a metal about which va ehould be concerned. However none of the speakers specifically referred to lead as being involved in any disease-producing mechanism. This session reused a great deal of pre* Interest and the speakers were closely questioned in a specially arranged conference ior the press, out of vhich setae unfavorable publicity arose. ".***- t'p' L IA24263 1 ?O C>jarterly Report of the Executive Vice President October 1 to December Jl, 156i -3 11.
