August 13, 1945 FLOUR MILLED FROM TESTED WHEAT Kettering Laboratory of Applied Physiology University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio Gentlemen: In looking through the literature on the toxicity of DDT, the writer noticed reference to work being carried out in your laboratory relative to this subject. We are aware that for some time past war restrictions have prohibited the publication of results, of such studies but are not aware as to whether such restrictions are in force at the present time. Specifically, we are interested in the application of DDT as an insecticide for use in flour mills and v/arehouses and would like to be sure that the compound does not have any ill effect on the product for human consumption. We would be very grateful for any informa tion you might be able to give us on this subject. Very truly yours, INTERNATIONAL MILLING COMPANY Products Control Department R.E.Brown/ih He 002001 O
