May 24, 1952 Hz*. Manfred Bowditch Lead Industries Association 420 Lexington Avenue Hew York City IT Dear Manfredi I have had an inquiry from Dr. Aage Grut of the International Labour Office in Geneva, to which I am a consultant, as to the extent to which the manufacturers and distributors of white lead in this country supply white lead In pulp, rather than, in powder form, to paint manufacturers and other users of the product (if there are other users). Any information you could give me which is transmissible I.e., not In any way confidential - would.be greatly appreciated If you should want such information to be transmitted on the responsibility or to the credit of Lead Industries Association, you might put it In such form for transmittal. I assume in the above paragraph that such information Is available to you, which may not be the case. I am not expecting you to supply such information, as a matter cf course, or to do any work to get it, as a favor to me. I hate people who write to me for information that they should get themselves, in the calm assumption that days or weeks of labor in the library or elsewhere is my normal and proper response to their request. However, if you can help me by mentioning the possible sources of such information, or by telling me, en the other hand that no such information is available, or that. u it is confidential trade information, I shall be grateful for your efforts on my behalf. With best regards, Sincerely yours, RAK ef Robert A. Kehoe, M. D. KE 0015000
