REPORTS OF THE SECRFTART AND TRFASURER The reports are attached as Fxhiblts "A" and "B." The secre tary emphasized how well the members of th* Association hhd worked together In meeting the many unusual problems that had arisen during the year, even though there may have teen a certain amount of diversity of Interest. The secretary offered to answer any questions that members night have on the reports. There being no questions, the reports were approved. REPORT OK THE PRESIIEHT The president then presented the following reports The year 1951 - another "emergency" yeur - no doubt marked a turning point In our history. Ey flexing its muscles, nationally and Internationally, t'nc United States demonstrated to the world that it was fast preparing to meet military force with military force, should political eventualities so dictate. Pore ar.d more it begins to appear that war has been averted, at least for the Im mediate future. At the same time, however, the Imposition of emer gency controls In the United States brought about much disturbance to Industry, and again made it necessary to turn to Washington for decisions that would ordinarily be made In the market place. The country has had a mild test of government planning In action. In lead, It created a troublesome ar.d unnecessary shortage. Although it may be too early to appraise the overall benefits and disadvan tages of controls, I dare say the disposition among Industry Is overwhelmingly for a speedy return to private enterprise, especially now that the lead shortage is over. m -"1 'wiy 'j^pmwi'imwjMjii i wijjrwwywry ,wwmjii pi l>'. IIA20844 i i i i Annual Hetties* Exhibit "A* April lfl-1?, 1952 REPORT OF THE SECRETART Sumaarlalng the Activities of tha lead Industries Association Tor tha Tear 1951 Certainly the load industry, like most all induetries, i faced rith a multiplicity of vexing problems In 1951. Te believe that tha Association once epsin proved Itself of invaluable assistance in setting nony cf these problems. In sc doing we further believe that tha Associa tion completed the year in as strong a position as it has ever enjoyed in rusher of members, in finances, In prestige both asonj Its cabers and on the outside. yhlle meeting the emergency problems of the moment, the Associa tion also maintained its efforts to acquaint users and prospective users of lead products with their advantages and how best to use then. The wisdom of these continuing activities is proved by the recent change in the lead market from shortage to plenty. Some of those activities have met with outstanding success. Each day brings evidence of the wisdom of establishment of our Safety and Hygiene division as a full-time activity a few years ago.- It has aided in the solution of problems of toxicity which militate against the use of lead and the medical research I'hlch it supports has brought tha industry ouch good will. There is much more that it can and should do to educate the medical profession and others in the diagnosis and treatment of lend poisoning and In the proper handling of lend and its products. Without more cork in this direction it seems Impossible to correct the vast amount of adverse publicity, often unfair, to which our incus try is subjected. The success of operations of the Association during the past year is, of courso, largely dependent on the excellent and unselfish co operation of our members. This has in many cases required that personal dc*ires be set aslda or modified. `*e arc deeply appreciative of this attitude and of the time and thought and effort put .into toe Association by its officers, directors, committee members and members In general. 'Je are also proud of our staff and wish to express sincere appreciation of their efforts during the past year.

One It the "Testcrn lead Products Company of lot Angela*, Another la Anaconda Copper Kirin? Company, which was an original member through its subtldiary, International 5meltlng and Refining Cocpany, but which in 1951 expanded its membership through the' parent company to embrace all Its lead operation*. 5ha third is the Metals Refining Company, of Bawmond, Indiana, a new cocpany organised to take over the lead operation# of a predecessor company of the aaae najne which had long been a masher as g subsidiary of tbe Olidden Conpany. One member, the General lead Manufacturing Conpany, was lost numerically through its absorption by another amber ccnpany. Current ateobershlp list la attached. statistics There were no changes In the regular statistical aerrlees of the Association during the year. Special statistical information has been provided Government defense agencies on request from tine to tine. Tie have still been unable to inaugurate a simple and prompt secondary lead statistical service, although most embers have been cooperative, because the coverng* is Insufficient. Effort* to provide such a service will continue. amnuai mbetiho The 1951 annual meeting was held at the Blltaore Hotel, Hew Tort, and again was highly successful. Attendance was approximately InO. At this bcetins a resolution was adoptrd urging the Government to establish a core realistic ceiling price for lead in relation to the world market and proposing suspension of the lsport duty on lead, with certain safe guards, during the emergency. Both recossaendations were later adopted by the Governoent, COryjgCTHT RELATIONS The Association was able to assist in eventual adoption by th* Government of the policies set forth in the resolution mentioned abov*. It was also able to assiat in obtaining permission for manufacturer* of lead product* to pass on the increased cost of the higher celling prlc* for lead. Mary Interpretations and clarifications of Government order* have been obtained for members, both individually and a* a group. Tie have attempted to keep all Government agencies properly In formed of the le*d situation to avoid ill-considered controls and sub stitutions, This has involved contrct not only with the Lead Branches of N.FJk. and O.P.3., but also other branches dealing with paints and other product* containing lead and with other Government department* such as Army and Navy, Witch specify and use lead products, We have resisted efforts at changes in Governoent specifications, mads in the guise of emergency, which would have militated against the use of lead products. $mu- "* y 'wwmwwbmhmwmi ip 'wmsim^e wmrowwntii-lyswuuss LIA20846 Annual Meeting!

The so Included, In addition to the defense end military agencies, the National fcreeu of Standards, the Atonic Energy Commission, ths Public Buildings Adalnletration, tho federal Housing Authority, the Bureau of Minos and others. The Association also usad Its toast efforts to havs lead ralsassd from stockpile, as an emergency measure only, to relieve the extrema tecforary shortage In the fall, an action subsequently taken by ths Government. BUUmtS AND PUBLICATION! The Association issued 39 rfensa Bulletins in 1951 to aid In keeping atabera Informed of Government orders and ether actions effecting tbolr operations. Six Information Bulletins were sent to members to post then on general Information about the Association, or the industry that might not otherwise cooe to their sttention. Only two issues of LEAD were published In 1951 because of ths shortage of lead existing throughout the year. This is circulated to about 35,000 users and potential users of lead, 171th load now in good supply, it may toe well to consider a sort frequent publication schedrla. Other publications are mentioned under the sections of this re port dealing with specific promotional programs. LEAD HTGISg were! Among the more important activities in the field of lead hygiene 1. Support of the study of childhood lead poisoning at the Children's Hospital in Boston was continued. Enough cases have now been studied so that an informative report may be expected before long, 2. Arrangements have finally been completed to start a atudy of chlldiood lead poisoning at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore about July 1, 1952, and suitable personnel has been secured. That city has long been a hotbed of adverse publicity on this Subject, 3. An independent atudy of childhood lead poisoning has been started in Cincinnati with laboratory work conducted under the super vision of Dr. Robert Xehoe at the Univeraity of Cincinnati. tu Childhood lead poisoning continues to be our met trouble some problem and the cause of much publicity. Wo have accumulated hundreds of newspaper clippings on tho subject. It is evident that these cases cannot be run down Individual ly, ease by esse, with any bop# of curing the situation. An overall broad approach of education of tho medical profession, education of parents and other protective measures seems essential.

I1 ' $, *Te have encouraged Improved chemical and laboratory facilities for the determination of lead absorption wherever possible to prevent ids diagnoses. In the peat year the Cleveland Clinio has provided auch a laboratory with personnel competent to aid pfcy'l-ci*n9 In lead diagnosis. A new clinic, with similar facilities, it being constructed at Salt taka City and serious consideration is being given one in the He* fork City Health Eepartmont. 6, Preliminary steps were taken, with tha cooperation of veabers who utake lead compounds, toward uniform warning labeling of these products, as a result of two states that already havt labeling laws and others that contemplate them, 7, We are serving on a cosmdttea aponsored by the American Standards Association to study the broad problem of childhood hatarda, including* standard for *safe* paints to use on children's furniture and toya, 8, We have followed closely developments in the use of "JOTl,* a new chemical compound that gives Indication of value in the treatment and perhaps the prevention of lead poisoning. 9, The study *1 the safety of red lead paint for water tank interiors was continued with wholly satisfactory results and has led to removal of an objectional paragraph In the Federal Specification for those paints. 10. A study of the dermatological effects of lead stabilisers for plastics was financed at the University of Cincinnati and a report of results provided interested menbers. 11. Twenty-one hygiene and safety bulletins were issued to members in 1951. Of these, 16 were a new series of legislative bulletins listIr$j state and Federal legislation introduced which eight be of interest to members. A survey at the year-end indicated that most members found this service helpful and wanted it continued. 12. Ir. addition to the special activities mentioned a large volume of correspondence and telephone calls with both member* and out siders has been handled. This la probably the most time-consuming part of the work but Is extremely important. 1ETALLIC LEAP IHOrUCTS HTISIOK A detailed report of the activities of this Division was sent to its members on October 15, 1951. The following summarises that reportl 1. Two practical field men have promoted the specification of lead in plunking codes and Its use in plunblng and water works systeos by personal calls on plumbers, city officials, water works engineers and by addressing meetings of plumbers' organisation*, 2, They have also promoted the proper instruction In lead work of plumbers' apprentices in classes throughout the country.
