Dear Sir:
I have received your air mail letter of
February 3, 19^-3> concerning the difficulties of burning
leaded gasoline in army cook stoves. Such information
as I had available was transmitted this morning to
Mr. S. 1,1. Wagner, local manager of the Ethyl Corporation.
Mr. Wagner has stated that he will communicate direct
with you by telephone and will follow up through his field
contacts to obtain any additional information that you
might desire.
The person in charge of all medical activities at the Desert Training Center is
Joseph E. Shelton, Colonel, Medical Corps S\irgeon, IVth Armored Corps Camp Young Indio, California.
You could probably obtain any direct medical information
from him concerning their knowledge of possible unsatis
factory health conditions arising from the use of the
more heavily leaded gasolines In stoves under field
conditions.
.
I will keep Er. Wagner informed of any additional information that mi"ht come to m v attention.
