We ?re therefore passing it along for your handling. The question raised by Mr. Fitzgerald as to the concentration of leaded Sinclair E-C "regular11 gasoline prob ably does not affect the situation to any great extent but for your information our records indicate this grade of Sinclair gasoline in the area, near Syracuse during the last year has varied from .92 to 2.00 cc per gallon.

You referred my letter to Dr. Robert A. Kehoe, Kettering latomtory of Applied Physiology at Cincinnati, Ohio, whose assistance has been of great benefit to me in the proper analysis of this claim. I would greatly appreciate your furths* assistance at this time. Hr bases his claim now on the alleged fact that he contracted lead poisoning from washing his hands and arms with H-C Sinclair ^regular8 gasolene. I supposed the word *'regular8 distinguished this particular gasolene from the so-called high test gas and tetra-ethyl gas. The question I would like you to answer is whether HC Sinclair regular gas contains any lead and if it does, in what proportion? JRF:F 0016223 N18705.01 COPY FOR. DR.
