Copy of Bowditchts recent blurb also attached. This, is all there has been on the results of their research. ;/'C -loO: . Thanks for steering Irwin this way. I visited his plant" in1 New Jersey and am having their case in for examination today* They have about two hundred men with potential but unlikely lead exposure-----the possible source being the red lead suspension in oil used as a lubricant for steel dies in aluminum casting operations. Their industrial hygiene engineer, Crawley# will be collecting some samples; and the question arises as to get ting them analyzed. I don't know what arrangements you may have with Alcoa beyond their participation in the fluoride research# and I am writing to inquire if you can do a number (15-20) of air samples on a fee for service or other basis. / ' The results on the beryllium case from Pennsylvania are most inter esting. I suppose Jack has told you sbout them* We have several cases among Ethyl employees in which a course of testosterone injections would be indicated. The'drug is fairly expensive, and the question is raised whether we should not assume this as an expense of the Corporation; since this is in a sense man--maintenance. Some other com panies# such as A. T. & T.# are doing this for their executive groups at no charge. Insofar as Ethyl is concerned# I do not think there would be more than a half dozen or so. We are gradually cleaning up the annual examination group, and I think the whole matter is going off quite well. Would you please ask Jack to send one of the old style shipping containers which will hold one or two one-gallon jugs? At present we have one or two,,cases in for study and will be able to collect a two or three liter sample of urine which he can play around with. Cordially, N14037
