MANFRED BOWDITCH DIRECTOR O r HEALTH AND SAFETY May 17, 1948 Robert A. Kehoe, M.D. Kettering Laboratory of Applied physiology College of Medicine Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob: Thank you for your letter of May 5. I am already engaged in drafting a cautionary supplement to the farm painting manual, along the lines of your sug gestions, and have also asked Dr. Fenstermacher for any suggestions he may have. I have had an exchange of letters with him and have the impression that he is a pretty good guy and entirely reasonable.I I will want your further thoughts on this in due course. Si: Y& 1 0^ \ c May 5 , 1948 Mr. Manfred Bowditch, Director of health and Safety, Lead Industries Association, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York City 17. Dear Manfred: Thanks very much for your letters of April 16, and for the manual on the painting of farm buildings which came a little later. The latter is quite a book, which seems to me to be packed with useful information. I wonder if it would not be a good idea in such a book to give a few warnings to people against the creation of the more significant hazards of painting operations. It would seem to me to be a very useful service on the part of your organization to point out the manner in which people expose themselves, especially in inside painting, by carrying out burning, Bcraping and sand papering procedures without respiratory protection. It would also seem that,in addition to certain precautions with respect to the safety of animals, something might be said, advantageously, about the environmental conditions in relation to babies and small children. With reference to your material as chairman of the A.I.H.A. Committee on Education and Terminology, I shall first find out from Jim Sterner whether he wants me to work on this committee, before I bother you further. With kindest regards, Sincerely yours, FAK ef Robert A. Kehoe, M. D .' 03-4 87 \ CLINTON H.CflA N CtM lSlO lN T fK. .WC ..

Kehoe, M.D. Kettering Laboratory of Applied Physiology University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob: This is in response to the handwritten postscript of your letter of March 21. As you know, my work for the A.I. H.A. Committee on Education and Terminology which I originally tackled with interest and diligence, went sour because of the situation at Saranac brought about by Roy Gardner's sudden and untimely death. I have at home all the records and correspondence accumulated during my chairmanship of the Committee. If you are to continue as chairman, I will be glad to send these along to you on receipt of word to that effect, but there seems little sense in pending the substantial amount of first class postage that will be involved if my so doing will only mean that you will have to spend it all over again. I really hope that your resignation proposal was not meant too seriously as you seem to me to be the ideal man for this important job if you can find the time for it. Though I am no longer a member of the Committee, my interest is as keen as ever, and I shall be glad to help you' or your successor in any way that I can. As earnest of this desire and on the chance that you may not have noted them, I am sending you under separate cover three items on Education from the latest issues of the "Industrial Hygiene Newsletter" and "Industrial Nursing," as well as a copy of the Manual of the current Industrial Medical Course at the Dong Island College of Medicine. If you insist upon resigning, you may wish to pass these along to Jim Sterner. Sincerely yours, co Manfred Bowditch Director of Health CLINTON h .C R A N C .M tu o iN T Kr . W. C.

Kettering Laboratory of Applied Physiology College of Medicine Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob: As expected, I found your letter of March 27 upon ray return from Boston. Its helpful and amusing commentary on the.'paper by Fenstermacher and his col leagues is much appreciated and I am sorry not to have acknowledged it sooner. Though I quite agree that not much can proba bly be done about bovine paint ingestion, I do not in tend wholly to ignore the problem and shall be glad to let you know of anything of interest that my further delvings may bring to light. In this connection, you may be interested to note our manual on painting farm buildings, a copy of which is on its way to you under separate cover. I have already suggested to Mr. Critchfield one or two modifications of the next edition which would give some recognition to the cussedness of cattle. The next time you have to paint a few barns, you may find the book useful. Sincerely yours, Manfred Bowditch Director of Health and Safety t)u u ly+yp
