A.D.N. JONES, Turner & Newall Limited. 12th August 1965* Dust-Proof* Bags Following our recent conversation, thank you for sending copies.of the letter dated 29th July which you received from Mr. Bennett, Secretary of the Ocean Ship Owners Group Joint Committee in the Port of London. As T.A.F.Ltd. are very closely involved in the troubles in unloading asbestos in London docks, would you please keep us informed of this correspondence as it develops. We have been singularly fortunate so far in that our difficulties with the docker's have not been ventilated publicly, especially as they would make excellent material for a feature on radio, television , or in the press. 1 think it is only a matter of time before publicity overtakes us, especially if a reporter gets hold of Dr. Donald Hunter. In that event, someone is bound to contact T.& N.Ltd. as the largest English commercial interest in asbestos. Accordingly, I have sent a copy of this note .to Mr.' Howard and suggest that he is briefed on what he has to say if he is contacted. Since shipments to Erith are made through London they are having difficulty now in unloading one of their shipments, I suggest that you ask T.A.C. to let you know if they are approached. _J.C.T.
