December,13,. 1933 Mr. Wm. F. Blank, Purchasing Agent Board of Education, Cleveland, Ohio. .."i ; Dear Sir: Your letter of December 8th with regard to the use of leaded gasoline, addressed to the duPont Company, has been referred to me. Some of the questions in your letter we do not know how to answer, but you can obtain reliable information on the subject by writing to the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation in New York City, who are the distributors of lead for use in gasoline. However, if you wish to consult with official med- . ieal authorities, as you imply in your letter, I think that you can probably obtain all of the information that you need from the Surgeon General in Washington, Dr. Cummings, who investigated the whole matter, of the hazards resulting from the use of lead in gasoline very exhaustive ly several years ago. Very truly yours,
