MANF R E D BOWDI T CH DIRECTOR OF HEALTH AND SAFETY June 4, 1952 Robert A. Kehoe, M.D. Kettering Laboratory ' U. of Cincinnati College of Medicine Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob: Pursuant to my letter of May 26, I am sorry there has been this delay in following through on your inquiry in behalf of man to whom it was referred has been almost con tinually absent on business or hecause of illness. Enclosed are photostatic copies of the first two pages of recent reoort of the Bureau of Mines, on the second of which I have marked the figures for the 1 :'our years on U.S. ship ments of white lead, both dry and in oil. An informed official of the National Lead Company tells us that practically all white lead (carbonate) shipped in dry form goes to the paint manufacturers^ with a relatively small amount to the ceramics manufacturers,while that shipped in oil goes to the paint-using trades. I have never heard the tern "in pulp" used in this connec tion but have no doubt that it is equivilant to our term ,Tin oil." I hope the above will give Dr. Grut what he is after. You can be assured that it has involved no T?days or weeks of labor in the library or elsewhere." I enthusiastically share your hate. . Sincerely, MB: JG enclosure KH 00149-98
