Eorcina Manfred Eowditch K. H. Poll C. J. Vender Valle H. S. letman lr. Felix Edgar V.ormser, president, occupied the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting of lfay 17, 1951, were ap proved. F.EFOETS OF THE SECF.FTAFV AND TRFA5UFEE The reports are attached as Fxhlblts "A" and "E." The secre tary emphasized how well the members of the Association had worked together in meeting the many unusual problems that had arisen during the year, even though there may have been a certain amount of diversity of interest. The secretary offered to answer any questions that members might have on the reports. There being no Questions, the reports were approved. REPORT Oh THE PRESILENT The president then presented the following report: The year 1951 - another "emergency" year - no doubt marked a turning point in our history. Ey flexing its muscles, nationally and internationally, the United States demonstrated to the world that it was fast preparing to meet military force with military force, should political eventualities so dictate. Pore and more it begins to appear that war has been averted, at least for the im mediate future. At the same time, however, the imposition of emer gency controls in the United States brought about much disturbance to industry, and again made it necessary to turn to Washington for decisions that would orcinarily be made in the market place. The country has had a mild test of government planning in action. In lead, it created a troublesome and unnecessary shortage. Although it may be too early to appraise the overall benefits and disadvan tages of controls, I dare say the disposition among Industry is overwhelmingly for a speedy return to private enterprise, especially now that the lead shortage la over. *f LIA208A1 Annual Meeting Minutes -4- April 18, 19?t , For many years there has been practically no selling effort re- 1 I *i qulrea to market lead procucts. It begins to appear that tils period Is on Its way out, which will be to the best Interests of ; j everyone. The tremendous fluctuations that have occurred In the CT I market for lead have been unpleasant, but. In my humble estl- F1 j ration, preferable to ar.y government attempt to Introduce stablll- j ration. Economic forces were too strong to avoid them. j From time to time reports have appeared In government sources predicting an Indefinite shortage In lead. I think those who have taken thm all with a grain of salt will find their Judgment vin dicated by the course of events. The Lead Industries Association can co much, I believe, to assure current and prospective users about the availability of future supplies of the metal from which "we all derive our living. Tou undoubtedly noticed the statement the Association recently published on that score. In anticipation of the time when we shall again have to wear out shoe leather looking for business, it is comforting to realize that the Lead Industries Association, drawing on an experience of 4 years. Is In a positior to aid us all, not only with excellent statistics, with fundamental research that has demonstrated Its value, with assistance on legislative matters in *ashlngton, and with actual promotional efforts. The Association, from a modest beginning, has grown to an organization of international scope in keping with the times. After all, lead is a world commodity and the exchange of views among producers and consumers all over the world Is bound to be beneficial to everyone. I want to thank all of the members who have so consistently given it support, year after year. They must feel, as I do, that this agency can continue to be of great help to us all, where we have common problems to meet. A word of thanks Is also due to the able staff of the Lead Industries Association for their industry and devotion to the welfare of the metal we produce or use. D ELFCTItN OF EOAFT OF DIhECTOFS The secretary read the present list of directors of the Lead Industries Association.

Te believe that tha Association once again proved Itself of invaluable assistance in nesting many cf these prebless. In so doing we further believe that the Associa tion completed the year in as strong a position as it has ever enjoyed in rusher of members, in finances, in prestige both aoonj its Berbers and on the outside. Jhlle sretlng the emergency problems of the nocaent, the Associa tion also maintained its efforts to acquaint users and prospective users of lead products with their advantages end how beet to use them. The wisdes of these continuing activities is proved by the recent charge in the lead itarket from shortage to plenty, Some of those activities have net with outstanding success. Each day brings evidence of the wisdom of establishment of our Safety and Hygiene Division as a full-time activity a few yeers ago. It has aided in the solution of problems of toxicity which militate against the use of iead and the medical research idiich it supports has brought tha industry much good will, There is much mere that it can and should do to educate the jedical profession and others in the diagnosis and treatment of lead poisoning and in the proper handling of lead and its products. Without more vorfc in this elrt-ction it seers impossible to correct tha vast asrunt of adverse publicity, often unfair, to which our incustry it subjected. The success of operations of the Association during the past year is, of course, largely dependent on the excellent and unselfish co operation of our members. This has in many cases required that personal dc'lres be set aside or modified, 'it arc deeply appreciative of this attitude and of the time and thought and effort put into tne Association by its officers, directors, coamlttee Berbers and member* in general, 7e are also proud of our staff and wish to express sincsr# appreciation of their efforts during the past year.

The third la the Metals Refining Cocpany, of Hamond, Indiana, a new cocpany organised to take over the lead operations of a predecessor cocpany of the a see nans itilch had long been a member as a subsidiary of the (Hidden Cocpany. One ember, the General Lead Manufacturing Company, waa lost numeric ally through ita absorption by another member conpary. Current mastership list la attached. STATISTICS There were no changes In the regular statistical services of the Association during the year. Special statistical information has been provided Government defense agencies on request from time to time. Tie have still been unable to Inaugurate a simple and prompt secondary lead statistlcol service, although stost members have been cooperative, because the coverage la Insufficient. Efforts to provide such a service will continue. a n n u a l me et in g The 1951 annual meeting was held at the Blltmore Hotel, Hew fork, and again was highly successful. Attendance was approximately lLO. At this meeting a resolution was adopted urging the Government to eetabllah a more realistic celling price for lead In relation to the world market and proposing suspension of the Import duty on lead, with certain safe guards, during the emergency. Both reconaendations were later adopted by the Government. OOryJOraT RELATIONS The Association was able to assist in eventual adoption by the Government of the policies set forth In the resolution mentioned above. It was also able to assist in obtaining permission for manufacturers of lead products to pass on the Increased cost of the higher celling price for lesd. Many Interpretations end clarifications of Government order* have been obtained for members, both Individually snd as a group. 17s hsva attempted to keep ell Government agencies properly In formed of the leed situation to avoid Ill-considered controls and sub stitutions, This has Involved contact not only with the Lead Branchea of N.P.A. and O.P.3., but also other branches dealing with palnta and othor producta containing lead and with other Government departments such as Army and Navy, ihlch specify and use load products, he hav# resisted efforts et changes in Government specifications, made In the guise of emergency, which sould have militated against the use of lead products. M.**1 WB LIA 208 46 Annual Meetlngl ) April 15-19, 1952 A great amount of time was apent with technical paraonnal In Kanjr Government agencies Involving tha use of lead tooth in tha defense program and in normal activities. These included, in addition to tha defense end military agencies, the National Bureau of Standarda, tha Atonic Energy Commission, the Public Buildings Administration, too Federal Housing Authority, the Bureau of Ulnea and others. The Association also used Its test efforts to hare load ralaaasd from stockpile, as an emergency measure only, to relieve the extreme temporary shortage in the fall, an action subsequently taken toy the Government, BULLTHtS ACT PUBLICATIOtB The Association issued 39 defense Bulletins in 1951 to aid In keeping members informed of Government orders and other actions effecting their operations. Six Information Bulletins were sent to members to post them on general information about the Association, or tha industry that Slight not otherwise come to their attention. Only two issues of LEAD were published in 1951 because of the shortage of lead existing throughout the year. This Is circulated to about 35,000 users and potential users of lead. Tilth load now in good supply, it may be well to consider a mors frequent publication schedule. Other publications are mentioned under the sections of this re port dealing with specific promotional programs. LEAD HTGISa nere i Among the store important activities in the field of lead hygiene 1. Support of the study of childhood lead poisoning at the Children's Hospital in Boston was continued. Enough cases have now been studied so that an Informative report may be expected before long. 2. Arrangements have finally been completed to start a study of chll&tood lead poisoning at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore about July 1, 1952, and suitable personnel has been secured. That city has long been a hotbed of adverse publicity on this subject. 3. An Independent study of chllchood lead poisoning has been started in Cincinnati vlth laboratory work conducted under the super vision of Dr. Robert Kehoe at the University of Cincinnati.1 1. Childhood lead poisoning continues to be our most trouble some problem and the cause of much publicity, be have accuaulated hundreds of newspaper clippings on tho subject. It is evident that these cases cannot be run down individual ly, esse by case, with any hop* of curing the situation. An overall broad approach of education of tho medical profession, education of parents and other protective measure* seems essential. IJW'**"*--""frS-qSWV*" r,v.

In the past year the Cleveland Clinic has provided such a laborntory with personnel cc-pter,t to aid physicians in Iced diagnosis, A new clinic, nith similar facilities, la being constructed at Salt Laics City and serious consideration is being given one in the Mew fork City Health Department. 6. Preliminary steps were taken, with the cooperation of member* who make lead compounds, toward uniform warning labeling of these products, as a result of two states that already have labeling laws and others that contemplate them. 7. We are serving on a condttee sponsored by the American Standards Association to study the broad problem of childhood hasards, including a standard for *safe* paints to use on children's furniture and toys. B. We have followed closely developments in the use of "3711, a new chemical compound that gives Indication of valua in the treatment and perhaps the prevention of lead poisoning. 9. The study of the safety of red lead paint for water tank interiors was continued with wholly satisfactory results and has led to removal of an objectional paragraph in the Federal Specification for those paints. 10. A study of the dermatological effects of lead stabilisers for plastics was financed at the University of Cincinnati and a report of results provided interested members. 11. Twenty-one hygiene and safety bulletins were issued to members in 1951. Of these, 16 were a new series of legislative bulletins list113 state and Federal 1c{dilation introduced which edght be of interest to members. A survey at the year-end indicated that most aembers found this service helpful and wanted it continued. 12. Ir. addition to the special activities mentioned a large oluae of correspondence and telephone calls with both members and out siders has been handled. This is probably the most tine-consuming part of the work but is extremely important. METALLIC IFAD HCIUCT3 rmSIOH A detailed report of the activities of this Division was sent to its members on October 15, 1951. The following summarises that report! 1, Two practical field men have promoted the specification of lead in plunfclng codes and Its use in plumbing and water works systems by personal calls on plumbers, city officials, water works engineers and by *d<reaslng meetings of plumbers' organisations. 2. They have also promoted the proper Instruction in lead work of plumbers' apprentices in classes throughout the country. "ST ( -pinwH. . n' LJ A 20848 * Anmal Ueetingi -5- April 18-19, 1952 3.
