- -eaa industry Shows Optimism For Continued M arket Expansion (Continued from first page) In a report to L.I.A. members, In addition, nuclear merchant Mr. Hubbell explained how hia company ; and other aluminum enameJers c a n n o w produce porcelain jenamel that contains lead, oxide that results in & high quality product for architectural applications. He pointed out that the durability of the glass formed In snameljng augments the high strength and light weight of alu minum to produce attractive structural components that have excellent life expectancy. Discussing "L e a d Research Formula for Industry Progress," Schrode F. Radlke, research di rector, International Lead Zinc Research Organization, told the industry representatives that sig nificant progress has been made 1n the past year t h r o u g h I.L.Z.R.O. research in two prime lead m a r k e t i n g areas- lead metallurgy! and acoustical uses. Dr. Radtke said dispersion strengthening has opened up an entirely new field of ieitd alloy exploration, ''Thane alloys," he added, "offer higher strength, and increased corrosion, creep and fatigue resistance." He told the meeting that emphasis has been placed on the alloy develop ments since they serve as a bse for generating, or increasing, numerous lead markets as a re suit of improved alloy properties. Acoustical Field 7n the acoustical field. Jm* pijoved design techniques, utiliz ing light-weight panels, have helped lead to penetrate this Robert L. Ziegfeld, the associa tion's executive vice, president, surveyed growth possibilities for lead in the future. He said the idea th at gasoline additives or storage batteries could ever have accounted for their present rate of consumption would have been considered preposterous earlier in the century. But today there are a host of interesting new applications for lead, Mr. Ziegfeld declared, al though he said he did not expect all of them to grow to major proportions in the over-all m ar keting picture. He did, however, speculate that one or more of them may 'e a- major marketing oullet for lead in the foreseeable future. For example, he cited new uses for storage batteries in personnel transportation and ap pliances, magnetic leaded ferrites now under consideration for monorail trains, leaded porcelain enamels, and a few others. Sport Shooting Charles Dickey, director, Na tional Sport Shooting Foundation, told the gathering that u rem ark able growth has occurred In sport shooting during the past several years. He pointed out that each year since 1061 lead consumption in sporting ammuni tion has gained steadily. For example, he said, 4fi,800 Iona were consumed In 1061. In 1064 consumption rose to f6,r0fl tons and indications are that 1965 will show a further rise. But, he. added, of concern to sporting ships, miscellaneous nuclear uses, and irradiation by isotopes, nr also expected to expand, resulting in more lead being used In the nuclear field. Robert A. Kehoe, internationally known authority on industrial toxicology, was honored by the presentation of a plaque in recog nition of 30 years of service. The occasion was a specin.! luncheon yesterday. The plaque is the most recent of many honors accorded Dr. Kehoe for his pioneering work in environments! medicine, trm metal metubolisju, and related fields. The Industrial Medical Association, of which he is a member, has given him its high est honor, the William A. Knurlsen Award. He has been similarly honored by being named Cum mings Memorial Lecturer b.v the American Industrial Hygiene As sociation, of which he is past president. The simple lead plaque sw ard ed him by the luncheon expresses .{.he respect he has won in his work wilh lead toxicology in particular. His work in this field began In the. very early days of mass manufacture of automobiles wlih the purpose of achieving safely and high health standards in the manufacture and use of tetraethyl lead for gasoline, The excellent, record mjilntnined In this area an he traced largely lo work performed by Dr. Kehoe.

On M arket Expansion By Jam a* V, Stafford ' ttataf Hariri Staff WHtw CHICAGO - record attend ance here at the 37th annual meet ing of the Lead Industries Associ ation, !nc,, yeaterday heard op timistic reports on the state of their Industry with the emphasis on growth in specific marketing outlets - both old and new. Robert Hendricks, executive vice president. Consolidated Min ing & Smelting Co. of Canada, Ltd., presided as chairman of the opening session. In an introduc tory talk. Mr. Hendricks said the primary emphasis of producers should be the continuing avail ability of supplies. He said that Comlnco is stopping up Its output and in addition new production will be coming onstream in two years. Simon D. Strauss, vice presi ing Co., L.I.A. president. Intro duced the speakers at yesterday's morning session. Consumption b.v lead's largest marketing outlet -- automotive batteries - i s expected to rise, ac cording to a forecast by F. J. Port, vice president. Electric Storage Battery Co. and presi dent of the Association of Ameri can B attery Manufacturers. In his paper, presented by Rob ert Getter, ESB, Dr. Port predict ed that th e current market of 39 million automotive batteries annually will rise to 4f> million in four years, or by 1969, A relatively newer market for lend -porcelain enamels for alu minum has gone through its "problem" period and the outlook now la quite optimistic. Dean S. Hubbell, vice president. H. Rob ertson Co., told the meeting.
