Johns-Manville Quality Products, in Sweet's File - Engineering, pp 1-35 1951 Pick another dozen from the bibliography of my Development paper that we have not already listed, make them earlier papers on asbestosis. carcinogenicity or cnrysotlle asbestos, m e Gross papers and irosper show very high levels of asbestos from uncontrolled sawing of Transite-type boards (industry sources, note} Trosper*s from J-M). Weston shows they sawed A-C sheets in the plants where they are made, nothing much since we have witnesses from iianville (have you listed them?). Wheatley is the sleeper, shovdng concealment of asbestosis in the J-M mines from 1930 -- this couples nicely with Pedley (see my notes). Legge's book starts on asbestos with, !,The story of asbestosis is a long one." And the Sweet's Catalog section of J-M products shows them recommending the use of a carborundum wheel for sawing up a lot of flat Transifce"in the field" -- I think this could be used effectively in cross examination of their medical whores (on p. 3*0. In addition, you may wish to not list several by Kotin, holding them for cross examination. The top one has him saying asbestos causes cancer of the lurg ir. a paper presented in 1959 published May 1957* The next has him saying the same in an article published in June 195& in slightly hedged terms, citing refs published in 1955 (? 3^2). And the last is a 1958 paper saying there is no safe threshold for a carcinogen, last paragraph. In case they want to use the lousy IHF study on miners of 1958 throw in one ra more, Mancuso*s critique of that onei Mancuso, T, Ann. N, I. Acad. Sci. 132 589 (1965). Finally, I suggest that you list the letter from Canadian JohnspManville to the effect that warning labels are now going to be affixed to sacks of asbestos fiber, dated October 1, 1968. I have lost it, bjrt l*m sure it's in the R-M package Ron sent you. That's helpful but not essential. Make sure to list some useless refs with these, just to keep them busy. And copy this stuff for yourself right away and return it to me, please. Good luck, /
