Mr. Sunbury has distributed copies to associate members. In addition, it was recommended an announce ment be placed in the Asbestos magazine and any other suitable publications that the method is available upon request. The Board of Governors has agreed to the recommendation; Mr. Sunbury will place the announcement in thepublications. The cost per unit will be $1.00; slightly less in quantity. Since this method is of interest to all Asbestos users it is recommended it be included in the next publication of the Asbestos Textile Handbook. The Board of Governors has taken this under advisement and will hold it in abeyance until the Handbook is reviewed for the next publication. Public Health Service Survey The Committee reviewed the supplement to the planned survey titled "Implementing Plan of Occupational Health Study of Asbes tos Products Industry". Since there have been changes to the original format, the committee is of the opinion Dr. Cralley should be invited to attend the June (1964) ATI Committee meeting to answer questions that have been raised. With the new developments the committee has no formal comments to make at this time. A committee member reported Dr. Cralley and his group have taken environmental studies at his plant. These studies were very efficiently performed to the satisfaction of all concerned. There have been no medical studies taken at this plant as yet and no plan has been made for such studies at this time. State of New Jersey - Department of Health E. Lynn Schall, Chief, Occupational Health Program Mr. Schall announced by letter to Mr. Sunbury, December 31, 1963, a conference on Asbestosis is planned at the New York Aca demy of Sciences and will be held October 19 through October 22, 1964. The main theme will be the effect of asbestos dust on the health of individuals exposed. Participants will come from Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Australia, South Africa and the United States. There is no specific information available on the conference at this time, thus the committee tentatively recommends the ATI be represented by Mr. Sunbury as an observer. If future information indicates we should change our recommendation we will do so at that time. We would also be pleasedto receive any comments on this conference from the membership. more Ms 005207 MT-004613 ATI-126 Page 2 - Minutes - Air Hygiene & Mfg.

President Peele brought up a letter from Dr. Lynn Schall Division of Occupational Health,State Department of Health, Trenton,N.J.,regarding the planned symposium on Asbestosis to be held October 19-22, 1964 at the New York Academy of Sciences. Leading authorities on Asbestosis from this,as well as foreign countries,have been invited to attend. The question of whether A.T.I. should be represented at this symposium was deferred pending receipt of more information in reference sponsorship of the program and its objectives. 8. The idea of an Annual Safety Award by A.T.I.,to the meber whose plant attained the most favorable accident experience, had been suggested by the Secretary,and President Peele asked for comments .Reaction was generally favorable, and it was decided that detailed information should be sent to each member for further discussion with their plants. 10. President Peele stated that he had received a letter from the Cape Asbestos Company Limited,under date of Nov.22,1963 in which they advised their decision to continue membership in the A.T.I.,and this action was most gratifying in view of their prior decision to withdraw from membership. 11. The Secretary in formed the Board that the Technical Commit tee would recommend at the General Meeting that their issuance of the "Approved Dust Counting Technique" be ap proved for general distribution,and publicity for same be sought thru Asbestos Magazine and other trade papers. On motion made by Mr.Hough,and seconded by Mr. Bettes,it was unanimously agreed that this should be done. Further that a price of fcl.00 per copy should be charged,with bulk prices to be determined later. The Secretary is to obtain printing costs for quantity reproduction of this in booklet form,and submit same to to the Board for approval,also to issue publicity release to trade media. 12. The Secretary read a letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Widmayer dated November 6, 1963,in which she expressed her apprec iation of the tribute paid to her late husband by the Board of Governors at their meeting on October 3rd.

Mr. Hough mentioned the retirement of Mr,J,LTueker of his company,which was effective Feb.1st,and expressed the thought that Mr.Tucker'a long and faithful service to the A.T.I. as Chairman of the Technical Committee,and in many other ways,deserved recognition. On motion made by Mr.Hough, and seconded by Mr.Griffis,it was unanimously agreed that a scroll or plaque should be presented to Mr.Tucker at the June meeting. 14. The Secretary read a letter that he had received from the Bureau of the Census,l'\ashington,D.C.,regarding the 1963 Census of Manufactures,in which all manufacturers were urged to fill out the forms,-completely-accurately- and promptly. Mr. McCluskey stated that his company had al ready received these forms,filled them out,and returned them. Other members either had not received them,or were uncertain of their receipt. 15. The Secretary reported that he had attended the meeting of ASTM Sub-Committee A-4,on October 16,1963,of which Mr. P.0.Nicodemus is Chairman. At this meeting he got the impression that the tentative consideration of estabishing a higher burnout temperature for asbestos textiles { 1750 vs 1470-1490) if finally adopted as an ASTM standard,could upset long established procedures in our industry,and should be avoided if possible. Members with representation on Sc A-4 proposed to inquire further into this matter, 16. It was decided to hold the October meeting on the 8th and 9th, at the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel, New York. 17. Approval was given the Secretary to be away on vacation during the month of March approximately,with the under standing that he make arrangements for the handling of Institute mail,etc.,during his absence, 18. The date of the next meeting Is June 4-5, 1964,and it will be held at the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel,New York,N.Y. 19. On motion duly made and seconded,the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted.

Lynn Schall Chief - Occupational Health Program________ Mr. Schall announced by letter to Mr. Sunbury, December 31, 1963, a conference on Asbe?tosis is planned at the New York Academy of Sciences and will be held October 19 through October 22, 1964. The main theme will be the effect of asbestos dust on the health of individuals exposed. Participants will come from Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Australia, South Africa and the United States. There is no specific information available on the conference at this time, thus the committee tentatively recommends the ATI be represent ed by Mr. Sunbury as an observer. If future information indicates we should change our recommendation we will do so at that time. We would also be pleased to receive any comments on this conference from the membership.

Ontario Research Foundation Symposium on Electrical Properties of Asbestos Fiber The Fiber Testing Committee sponsored a symposium on electrical properties of asbestos fiber, Mr. N. W. Edgerton of the JohnsManville Products Corp. was principal speaker and conducted the session* Members from the Technical and the Air Hygiene & Mfg. Committees participated. In summary, the symposium accomplished the objective of review ing the various electrical properties required in an asbestos textile, method of testing for each property, relative electrical values of different fcypes of asbestos, and most important, a ; discussion on the physical and chemical characteristics of asbestc that influence the electrical properties. With a better understanding of the causes of poor electrical properties it is felt that the textile manufacturer could more intelligently pursue the development of improved asbestos products for the electrical industry. Test Procedures \ I* Magnetic Rating Test A preliminary study by several members indicated sufficient potential of the Magnetic Force Method as proposed by RaybestosManhattan to justify a formal study by this committee. As expected in tests of this nature there are many critical areas that must be thoroughly investigated relative to reliability A sub-committee was formed consisting of J.W. Hawkins,Chairman, E.A. Farrell, and J.D, McCluer to first submit recommendations on procedure for preparing standard samples to be used in the test studies,and then attempt to define the critical areas in the proposed test method.

Asbestos Co,,,was reviewed by Mr. Tigert of Cassiar. Copies of the procedure were distributed and will be further reviewed by all members for action relative to adoption by the next meeting, 3. Frictional Properties Johns-Manville reported considerable difficulty in arriving at a satisfactory technique of anchoring the test pad of fiber to the rotational discs in the experimental friction tester. When the bond between the pad of fibers and the discs is less than the inter-frictional fiber resistance the values obtained are not significant. Work will continue on this project. 4. Bauer-McNett Wet Classifier QAMA reported in their November 19, 1963 meeting that work is continuing on the new classifier. Splashing was found to be due to mechanical imperfections in the machine and work is underway to eliminate these. All of the other recommendations made by the QAMA sub-committee to Bauer Brothers have been concurred with. The sub-committee will review the distributed results on the use of the automatic wiper to avoid manual cleaning. Report on New ASTM High Modulus and Inorganic Fiber Committee The subject committee was formally organized in January 1964 with P.D. Gorsuch of the General Electric Space Technology Center as Chairman. Asbestos fiber is covered in one of the sub-committe As in previous meetings, the scope was limited by a majority vote to test procedures and definitions,and does not include specific ations for the present. Our A.T.I. Fiber Testing Committee plans to keep abreast with the progress of this ASTM committee. Plans for Revising the Manual of Test Procedures Publishing of either a revised manual or an appendix is tent atively scheduled for the first of 1965, The cut-off date for approving the contents has been set for the October 1964 meet ing of this committee. In the meantime, all approved but unpublished tests and all revisons will be reviewed by A.T.I.,ACPA, and QAMA. Our British and French Associates will be notified of these plans and will be requested to actively participate in the review.

The present stock of Asbestos Textile Institute Handbooks and the Fibre Testing Manual was reported and it was decided that no action was necessary at this time. 4. Initial reports from Committee members indicate that more work is necessary before progress can be announced on the project to develop a replacement,for a cotton fabric now in use in sizable quantities. The market price and requirements of this fabric! are known. We plan to enlist the Kelp of the Technical Committee on this project. 5. Discussion was held on the imports of foreign Asbestos Yarns. 6. Discussion was held on claims made by a firm on the advantages of aluminized fiberglas fabric over an aluminized asbestos material. Specifications now being prepared by the Navy will replace Glass and Asbestos Glass fabrics with an all asbestos aluminized cloth for use in Fire Entry, Rescue and Proximity Suits. 7.

He hopes to accumulate a lifetime history of oach employee as a longrangs result of tho plan. An extensive question and answer period followed his talk, 7, President pf-ele then, introduced Dr.Kenneth W, Smith,Medical Director of Jchns-Manville Corporation,and asked Dr.Smith to comment on the prosed "Conference on Asbestosis" recently announced by Dr., Lynn Schail,Chief,Occupational Health Program,State of New Jersey Department cf Health,Trenton,N.J. to be held on October 19-22, 1964,at the New York Academy of Sciences. Coference participants are expected to attend from Great Britain,Italy,Germany,Australia,South Africa, and the United States, The main theme will be"The effect of asbestos du3t on the health of individuals exposed". Dr, Smith stated that he believed the originator and main driving force behind the idea of this "Conference on Asbesto sis" was a Dr. Zelikoff of Paterson,N.J,,and that he would like more Information on the program than has been available *. todat9. On behalf of Johns-Manville Corporation he is tent ati^ely planning to submit three scientific papers to the * October conference. Dr. Smith suggested that the Asbestos *,Textile Institute could have a representative at the confer ence if they cared to,or members could have their plant doctors attend. Mr. Peele suggested that members should send to Dr. Smith the name of their plant doctor,if they wanted him to attend.

Broskmann,Vice President, Prodesco,Inc.,Perkasle,P The subject of Mr. Brockmann's talk was " Development-Today's Business ". He informed the members that his company was founded in 1943 for the purpose of affording the textile industry a means of readily available help in developing new textile constructions,as so many individual firms have difficulty in finding time,or lack suitable equipment,for development of new items. While the work that Prodesco does for its clients is highly confidential,he did mention they were doing,or had done, work for NASA on development of Survival Equipment; with the Navy on Improved Clothing for Plight Crews,and with air-craft parts manufacturers. At the conclusion of his talk Mr. Brockmann distributed an attractive brochure which explains in considerable detail the facilities offered by his company for Textile Research. 9. President Peele announced that the date of the next meeting of the Asbestos Textile Institute would be June 4-5, 1964, at the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel,New York City. 10. The meeting then recessed for luncheon,after which,there being no further business,it was duly adjourned. - Respectfully submitted. H.E.Sunbury Exec.Secretary Note; Subsequent to the meeting we have confirmation of arrangements to hold our third mesfcing in 1964,at the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel,New York City, on October 9-9,1964. In view of the World's Fair,it wa3 advisable to make this reservation early in the year. H. E.S.

Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd. Asbestos Corporation, Ltd. Review of Tests Under Development or Revision 1. Magnetic Rating by Magnetic Force Method - Raybestos-Manhattan Sub-committee headed by Mr. Hawkins reported that progress has been made on a procedure for preparing standard samples that are required in the test studies. All participating members were invited to request prepared samples of magnetite from J. Wronski, Raybestos-Manhattan, stating the volume of sample needed. Samples in twelve concentrations will be prepared. During the discussion of this test, Mr. Lincoln reported that Turner and Newall have developed a more sensitive Mapes test (ASTM procedure) with four ranges and sensitivity to 0.1 per cent magnetic rating. Bell have a test unit under study and Cassiar are considering acquiring equipment from Turner and Newall for study. Mr. Lincoln agreed to send us data on the equipment upon his return to England. 2. Suter-Webb Comb Test - Cassiar A revised procedure presented by Mr. Tigert at the February meeting of this committee has been reviewed, and, apparently is acceptable as written. However, a formal vote was not taken because some members are waiting for shipment of fiber grippers and hand comb as supplied by Turners Asbestos Fibers Ltd., Manchester, England. A formal vote is expected by the October 1964 meeting. 3. Frictional Properties - Johns-Manville MT-004633 Friction tester for fiber still being studied relative to developing a technique for anchoring the test sample in the equipment.

Fiber Testing Committee on June 4, 1964. Report on ASTM High Modulus and Inorganic Fiber Committaa At their January 22, 1964 meeting a small change was made in the title, i.e., reversing the order of words to read: "Committee D-30 on Inorganic and High Modulus Fibers" The scope of committee D-30 was described as: "The investigation of structures and properties; and the development of methods of tests, definitions of terms, and classifications pertaining to inorganic and high modulus fibers. The fibers to be covered will generally have a modulus of elasticity above 3,000,000 psi. These activities will be coordinated with those of other revelant committees of ASTM and other organizations." Sub-committee III, Asbestos and Naturally Occurring Fibers has J. R. M. Hutcheson as chairman. The next meeting of D-30 will be held during the week of June 21, 1964 in Chicago. Plans for Revising the Manual of Test Procedures It was generally agreed that we should revise the manual instead of publishing an appendix. A target date for final approval of all contents was set for the October 1964 meeting of this committee with a cut-off date of around the end of the year to clear up the loose ends prior to publishing. The following plan was tentatively approved, subject to approval by QAMA, ACPA, and Eoard of Governors of A.T.I.: 1. Arrange format so each test can be printed as a separate document. 2. Have printer assemble a predetermined number of tests into complete, fixed-bound manuals. 3. Print extra copies of tests upon preorder for members who may want to issue separate tests or only several tests in loose-bound fashion for certain customers. These could be punched and arranged by the individual members. 4. Establish a numbering system for the tests similar to ASTM. 5. Reduce the size of the printed page from 11 x 8^- to about 9x6. 6. Attempt to improve the index relative to convenience.

Heausler - AGFA General Services Administration national Stockpile Specification for Magnetic Rating pf Asbestos Fiber Olir committee was requested to recommend a change in the magnetic rating requirement of raw chrysotile fiber to reflect a finished ' textile product with a maximum rating of 0.75 per cent. Because there is a reduction in the magnetic rating from raw fiber to Underwriters* grade yarn due to opening, carding, and dilution with organic fiber, the present value of 0.75 per cent for raw fiber is unrealistic and shoidd be increased. Members are being polled for the increased value and an answer is planned for submittal to GSA within two weeks or so.

Dr. Cralley gave a most interesting report on his recent trip to France at which time he attended the Congress on Asbestosis. The Congress was sponsored by all Asbestos Producers in France and there was representation from eight or nine countries. During the general session there were three papers given on the . medical check of employees. Of most interest was the report stating previous to 1930 there were 7 to 10 times the occurrence of lung cancer in Asbestos workers vs the General Public and from 1930, after dust control systems were installed in plants, the occurrence was less than the General Public. In both case studies approximately 113 persons were checked. ' The Congress indicated the Rayco dust monitoring unit is a very good one. The reason it is a good unit is it can be set to read dust counts in specified fibre lengths^ ,5 microns, .8 microns or 1 micron. The cost of this unit is approximately $12,000. Continuing, Dr. Cralley presented a progress report on the En vironmental Studies made by his group in U.S. plants. As of this date, they have been to six plants and have taken 1500 to 2000 samples. Depending on plant size the group will complete one or two plants every three months. MS 005230 MT -004636 S' ATI-126 Air Hygiene & Mfg. Committee -2- June 4, 1964 Dr. Cralley displayed a series of charts showing dust concentrations from thirty years ago vs the current studies. The charts are very encouraging as in every operation - Preparing through Weaving - a significant reduction in dust concentration has been found. Dr. Cralley stated he will give us a progress report from time to time and when he feels sufficient data is available a complete report will be issued on the Survey. Dust Monitoring Equipment Mr. Horst Blume and Dr. Volinsky demonstrated the SinclairPhoenix Dust and Smoke Photometer. Their address is: Phoenix Precision Instrument Co. 3803-05 N. Fifth Street Philadelphia 40, Pa. USA Area Code 215 BA-8-7417 Cables PP1C0 The demonstration was very interesting and the Air Hygiene Committee feels the unit has a place in the program of dust ' controls. The unit through the recorder will give a continuing permanent, record of dust concentration in an area rather than a reading just during the time of sampling as our present method does. Before any firm recommendations can be made on this unit correlation between the standard test results and the SinclairPhoenix unit would have to be checked. Pamphlets describing the unit were distributed and we expect to have some comments on it by the next ATI meeting. The price of the unit is approximately $2500 plus $700 for the recorder. The Committee expressed their thanks to Mr. Blume and Dr. Volinsky for the fine demonstration and also to Hans Walter for suggesting we invite Mr. Blume and Dr. Volinsky to the ATI meeting. Asbestosis Research Council (England) Reports received from 3. Holmes: "Experimental Asbestosis in Rats" by P. F. Holt, S, Mills and D. K. Young. "A New Slow Running Personal Dust Sampler" by R.

Ccmmitt ee ~3~ June 4, 1964 "The Ultrastructural Changes That Occur During The Transfor mation of Lung Macrophages to Giant Ceils and Fibroblasts in Experimental Asbestosis" by J. M. G, Davis. Each of the above papers were reviewed and found to be of interest and very informative. Every Committee member has a copy of each paper and will keep them on file for future reference. The Committee agrees that the ATI should encourage all persons studying the effect of Asbestosis on Health to forward the papers to the ATI for our reference. This followup will keep the ATI abreast of all programs on this subject. Medical Report on Asbestosis Reprint from Diseases of the Chest Official Journal of the , American College of Chest Physicians from Mr. H. C. Givan, Jr. Jessop Steel Company Yfashington, Pa. A review of this paper was made and we feel this information in the paper is basic. Special note was made to t'wo paragraphs under Industrial Hygiene Aspect. 1) "In spite of the fact that the total dust exposure may be higher in the asbestos mining industry, the health hazard is more serious in the asbestos textile industry. The explanation for this is that in mining 80 percent to 95 percent of the dust may be serpentine rock dust, which is biologically relatively inert." 2) "Techniques of dust counting vary considerably and need to be standardized. The most practical method is the'membrane filter device. The most accurate but least practical methods are the thermal a^d electrostatic precipitation. The Konimeter and Impinger methods are unreliable. Currently the value of the Tyndallometer and photoelectric methods are being explored." Both of these statements are questionable and we belierve will be changed in the future when the Public Health Program report is issued. Environmental Dust Counting Technlaue Mr. Sunbury gave us for review a sample of the print setup and size booklet which will be printed. The Committee agreed that the MS 005232 MT-004638 ATI-126 Air Hygiene & Mfg. Committee -4- June 4, 1964 sample would be acceptable and instructed Mr. Sunbury to have the booklet printed. If all goes according to schedule, the booklet should be available in two or three weeks. Mr. Sunbury asked this Committee to suggest publication for advertising this booklet. We suggest Textile World, Textile Industries and American Public Health Journal. Thank you, Mr. Sunbury, for following up on the details of publishing this booklet. State of New Jersey - Department of Health E. Lynn Schall The conference - "Biological Effects of Asbestosis" October 19-21, 1964 The conference has grown in size and has been moved to the New York Academy of Sciences. The ATI will not take an active part in this conference. However, each of us is very interested in the conference and most likely all member companies will want to have someone attend. As soon as additional information is received Mr. Sunbury will keep us informed on developments. American Industrial Hygiene Association The Committee reviewed a paper given by Dr. J. J. Selckoff at this meeting. The title of the paper is "Asbestos Exposure and Neoplasia". The study was made by a research team on all the men who have become members of the New York City-Newark, New Jersey locals of the International Union of Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers AFL-CIO since December 31, 1942. They are building trades workers. Details of the report were reviewed and each member has a copy for reference. General Topics ' Items of interest such as noise abatement, safety, new equipment, plant housekeeping, Airodynamic control of air at Twisting, and equal pay for male and female workers were discussed.

Zt is felt that mutual benefit will be derived from Mr. Lincoln's attendance at meetings of. our Fiber Testing Committee,and interim correspondence con cerning the current work being carried on. 13. A letter from Bell Asbestos Mines,dated May 4th, in which thoy informed us that Mr. Dodds-Hebron has become a Director of their company,and is in charge of milling operations since the passing of Herbert Smith,was noted. Mr. Dodds-Hebron is attending the current meeting of the Fiber Testing Committee. 14. Letter of May 6th from Mr J.T, Griffis to the Secretary raised the question of whether the A.T.Z. should assist,as^or cooperate with, Jessop Steel Company in furthering the distribution of a . paper on "Asbestosls^same being a reprint from the Official Journal o the American College of Chest Physicians. Zt was decided that we would ns* confine its distribution to our Air Hygiene Committee. 14. Receipt of a card of thanks from Mr. J.T. Griffis and family for flowers sent by A.T.Z. at the time of Mrs,Griffis funeral . was noted. 15. The Secretary read a letter from Mr,Clarence A. Fred ell of the Genral Services Administration,dated June 1st, in reference Specification P-3-R3 which governs the purchase of raw chrysotile asbestos fiber for the stock pile. The point at issue is the specified Magnetic Rating of 0.75 percent,and whether this should be raised to allow for the drop in magnetite which occurs . in textile processing. Zt was decided to accept the recommendation of our Fiber Testing Committee in replying to this letter. 16. President Peele appointed the following men to serve as a Nomirating Committee to bring in a slate of officers for election at our annual meeting in October; W.S. Hough - Chairman (Johns-Kanville Corp) J.L. Rainey ( American Asbestos Textile Corp.) L.C. Williams ( Raybestoa-Manhattan,Inc.} 17. Mr, Schuman suggested that we oonsider the possibility of extend ing invitations to representatives of asbestos textile manufact urers in foreign countries who plan to attend the symposium on Asbestosls Oct.19-21,to attend our Annual Meeting on Oct.9th if they can so arrange their schedule. This would not be limited to our present associate membars In England and France, Further thought is to be given this suggestion.

Magnetic Rating A request from the GSA was discussed regarding the magnetic rating on raw stock pile fibre. The 0.75 M.R., as listed in the specification for C & G fibres was discussed. It . was suggested to consider the 0.75 M.Ri to be meant after carding. Therefore, the present specification should be ( changed and the M.R. increased. Inasmuch as this is more in line with the fibre testing committee,,our recommendations were forwarded to this committee. We understand the fibre testing committee will establish a purvey to analyze the proper M.R. on raw fibres which will give a finished M.R. of 0.75. B. Review Specifications FSC Class, 5330 A request was received fpom UiS. Army Materials Research Agency, Watertown* Massachusetts, for a review of approximately 17 specifications. A motion was adopted, that any recommendations the A.T.I. might have, will be forwarded to the Mechanical Packing Association, inasmuch as this agency is very much involved with Class 5330 17 specifications were screehed, and It was found that A.T.I. members may be Involved.on the following specs.

Dr. Cralley gave a most interesting report on his recent trip to France at which time he attended the Congress on Asbestosis. The Congress was sponsored by all Asbestos Producers in France and there was representation from eight or nine countries. During the general session there were three papers given on the medical check of employees. Of most interest was the report stating previous to 1930 there were 7 to 10 times the occurrence of lung cancer in Asbestos workers vs the General Public and from 1930, after dust control systems were installed in plants, the occurrence was less than the General Public. In both case studies approximately 113 persons were checked. The Congress indicated the Rayco dust monitoring unit is a very good one. The reason it is -a good unit is it can be set to read dust counts in specified fibre lengths; .5 microns, .8 microns or 1 micron. The cost of this unit is approximately $12,000. Continuing, Dr. Cralley presented a progress report on the En vironmental Studies made by his group in U.S. plants. As of this date, they have been to six plants and have taken 1500 to 2000 samples. Depending on plant size the group will complete one or two plants every three months. MTh004652 ** "~ * # MS 005246 PRODUCED JM - S3-- ATI-126 Air Hygiene & Mfg. Committee -2- June 4, 1964 Dr. Cralley displayed a series of charts showing dust concentrations from thirty years ago vs the current studies. The charts are very encouraging as in every operation - Preparing through Weaving - a significant reduction in dust concentration has been found. Dr. Cralley stated he will give us a progress report from time to time and when he feels sufficient data is available a complete report will be issued on the Survey. Dust Monitoring Equipment - Mr. Horst Blume and Dr. Volinsky demonstrated the SinclairPhoenix Dust and Smoke Photometer. Their address is: Phoenix Precision Instrument Co. 3803-05 N. Fifth Street Philadelphia 40, Pa. USA Area Code 215 BA-8-7417 Cables PP1C0 The demonstration was very interesting and the Air Hygiene Committee feels the unit has a place in the program of dust controls. The unit through the recorder will give a continuing permanent record of dust concentration in an area rather than a reading just during the time of sampling as our present method does. Before any firm recommendations can be made on this unit correlation between the standard test results and the SinclairPhoenix unit would have to be checked. Pamphlets describing the unit were distributed and we expect to have some comments on it by the next ATI meeting. ' The price of the unit is approximately $2500 plus $700 for the . recorder.

Medical Report- on Asbestosis Reprint from Diseases of the Chest Official Journal of the American College of Chest Physicians from Mr. H. C. Givan, Jr. Jesscp Steel Company liashington, Pa. A review of this paper was made and we feel this information in the paper is basic. Special note was made to two paragraphs under Industrial Hygiene Aspect. . 1) "In spite of the fact that the total dust exposure may be higher in the asbestos mining industry, the health hazard is more serious in the asbestos textile industry. The explanation for this is that in mining 80 percent to 95 percent of the dust may be serpentine rock dust, which is biologically relatively inert." 2) "Techniques of dust counting vary considerably and need to be standardized. The most practical method is the membrane ' filter devise. The most accurate but least practical methods are the thermal and electrostatic precipitation. The Konimeter and Impinger methods are unreliable. Currently the value of the Tyndailometer and photoelectric methods are being explored." Both of these statements are questionable and we believe will be changed in the future when the Public Health Program report is issued. ' Environmental Dust Counting Technique .

Predell Technical Advisor (Engineering) Economics and Research Staff General Services Administration Defense Materials Service Washington, D.C. 20405 July 24, 1964 Dear Mr. Predell; Re; National Stockpile Purchase Specification P-3-R3 In further reference to your letter of June 1st, 1964, and our letters of June 8th and 30th on this subject, we are happy to advise that our Fiber Testing Committee has now completed their investigation in respect to the Magnetic Rating of Chrysotile Asbestos, as specified in Section 2,(f) of Specification P-3-R3. This committee reports that there is general agreement among the members of the Institute that the current requirement of 0.75 maximum magnetic rating for raw asbestos fiber is lower than necessary to produce asbestos textiles with 0.75 maximum magnetic rating, in view of the reduction in free magnetic material which normally occurs in'* text lie-manufacturing. That" this reductidh occurs not only in the carding operation, as mentioned in your letter, but in varying degree in other operations of textile manufacture, and for that reason they think the best solution is to raise the current requirement to a more realistic level. Therefore, the Asbestos Textile Institute recommends that Section 2.(f) of National Stockpile Purchase Specification P-3-R3 dated March 7, 1963, be changed in respect to the current re quirement for Magnetic Rating from 0.75 maximum to 1.0 maximum. We believe that the adoption of 1.0 maximum for raw asbestos fiber will be advantageous to the Government in the purchase of chrysotile asbestos fiber suitable for electrical insulating applications. The opportunity of presenting the views of the Institute on this matter is greatly appreciated, and if there is any way that we can be of further service please let us know. 1 Yours very truly, H.E.

This letter,together with a copy of September 9, 1964 our pamphlet entitled "Method for Determining Asbestos Dust Concentration" was sent to each person listed in the program for the Conference on "Biological Effects of Asbestos" which was held on Oct.19-21,1964 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,New York City,under the auspices Of the New York Academy of Sciences. Dear Sir: We are pleased to enclose for your inspection a complimentary copy of our new pamphlet which is entitled "Method for Determining Asbestos Dust Concentration". This pamphlet was prepared by the Institute's committee on Air Hygiene & Manufacturing,and we believe it to be an important contribution to promote more effective control of working conditions wherever asbestos fiber is handled,or processed. The method for Dust Counting,as described in the pamphlet, represents the technique approved for use in their own plants by members of the committee,and is believed to be consistent with the usual practice of State Departments of Health thruout the United States,thus making possible a greater degree of correlation of results than would otherwise be possible. This pamphlet is available from the Institute at the nominal price of &1.00 per copy. Yours very truly, Enc:(1) B.B. 'Sunbury Exec.

He asked what further action, if any, should be taken in respect to theposition of the Institute towards this con ference, as adopted at our last meeting, in view of the publicity which appeared in many newspapers on October 6th, in which asbestos was cited as a possible cause of cancer. This adverse publicity, released by Dr. Selikoff and his associates, is based on very limited background information, as compared to that of the asbestos industry, but is very harmful to the entire industry. There was a lengthy discussion as to ways and means of combating this unfavorable publicity. The question was raised as to whether those who have issued the publicity could be warned of the gravity of their charges, and its unfavorable effect on the entire asbestos industry, without diviner imnrpqsinn There was general agreement that the possibly serious eco nomic repercussions of this bad publicity for asbestos should be brought to the attention of Member Companies top management, and they in turn should advise the Institute their wishes as to course of action desired, and extent of financial support that might be given. * Page 2, paragraph 5: It was agreed that the recently published pamphlet entitled "Method for Determining Asbestos Dust Concentration" should be priced at 50 cents each to members and associate members, regardless of quantity ordered.

The present Inventory of Asbestos Textile Institute handbooks is sufficient to take care of anticipated requirements. 3. Continued effort is being made to keep abreast of imports of foreign asbestos textiles. 4. A recent Associated Press news release alleging a connection between asbestos and cancer was reviewed. The affect of such reports on sales were discussed. 5. Various news items concerning Soviet expansion In fiber production were discussed.

Magnetic Force Method - Ravbestos-Manhattan Sub-committee headed by Mr. Hawkins reported that the standard samples prepared by R/M were at H. K. Porter for the purpose of calibrating their equipment. Mr. Wronski will prepare additional calibration samples for other members to expedite the study. The set consists of ten samples of magnetite in sine oxide in the range from 0.001 to 8.0 per cent. b. Standard ASTM Method (Manes) - OAMA QAMA have prepared draft of revised test procedure adopted on May 4 1964. Copies will be distributed to ATI members for vote prior to our February meeting. c. Modified Manes - Turner and Newall Mr. Lincoln demonstrated the T/N magnetic analyser and distributed a draft of the test procedure. Everyone present agreed that the equipment appeared to be a considerable improvement over the standard Mapes equipment in compactness in design, ease of operation, and moat important, the sensitivity. The unit has four ranges and will read to 0.1 per cent. Bell have a unit and Cassiar are having one - delivered to them from Turner and Newall. Our ATI sub--committee will study this equipment relative to sensitivity and reproducibility. Mr. Wronski will send Mr. Lincoln some standard magnetite samples and fiber test samples.

Suter-Mebb Comb Test - Casslar The revised procedure contains an alternate method employing fiber grippers and band comb as supplied by Turner Asbestos Fibers, Ltd., Manchester, England. A formal approval has been held in abeyance pending delivery of this apparatus to some members. Bell can now supply this upon request. 3. Frictional Properties - Johns-Manvllle Since this test will not be completed prior to publishing the revised Manual of Test Procedures, the discussion was given a low priority. Difficulty is still being experienced In developing a technique for anchoring the test samples in the equipment under study. As a result, reproducibility has been poor. Report on ASTM High Modulus and Inorganic Fiber Comnr*tt.pa There was very little activity to report from Sub-committee III, Asbestos and Naturally Occurring Fibers. Both the ATI and QAMA are following the work of this sub-committee very closely. Plans for Revising tbs Manual of Test Procedures . The tentative plan of revising the manual as outlined in the minutes of the June meeting was acceptable in general. Final approval is expeeted by the February 1965 meeting of ATI. Some of the additions or revisions to the plan that were decided upon at this meeting were: 1. Keep the size of the printed page the same as present. 2. Include a yearly date as part of the test number. This is found in ASTM numbering system. 3. Provide larger left hand margin for punching the pages. 4. Consider a different color for cover. 5. Simplify the index and table of contents. 6. Issue as a separate publication the contents of the manual with a brief description or scope of each test. Respectfully submitted.

Conference - "Biological Effects of Asbestos" October 19-20-21, 1964 New York City We discussed this conference at our June 4, 1964 meeting and at that time agreed the ATI would not take an active part in the Conference but each company would send representatives as they saw fit. The picture has now changed somewhat as recent publications again point out the intent of this Conference headed by Dr. Selikoff. Since they are linking asbestos with cancer, the committee feels this Conference will have an effect on the entire Industry and are concerned as how best the results of the Conference can be investigated and rebutted.

President Peele brought up the subject of the coming Conference on "Biological Effects of Asbestos" to be held under the auspices of the New York Academy of Sciences,Oct.19-21,1964. He asked what further action,If any,should be taken in respect to the position of the Institute towards this conference,as adopted at our last meeting,in view of the publicity which appeared in many newspapers on October 6th, in which asbestos was cited as a possible cause of cancer. This adverse publicity, relaeased by Dr.Selikoff and his associates, is based on very limited background information, as compared to that of the asbestos industry, but is very harmful to the entire industry. There was a lengthy discussion as to ways and means of combating this unfavorable publicity. The question was raised as to whether those who have issued the publicity could be warned of the gravity of their charges, and its unfavorable effect on the entire asbestos industry, without giving the impression that an attempt was being made to suppress or Intimidate the medical profession. Legal Coun sel was subsequently asked draft such a letter,(copy is attached) and it has been submitted to eachMember for approval, before being sent to Dr. Selikoff, by Mr. Reycraft. produced .MS MS 005269 MT-004675 ATI-126 The Board of Governors of A.T.I. requested Attorney Reycraft to prepare a letter to be sent to Dr. Selikoff on behalf of the Institute, and the letter as drafted by Mr. Reycraft,follows: Dr. Irving J. Selikoff Dear Dr. Selikoff: Our client,the Asbestos Textile Institute,has requested us to communicate to you the grave concern which all member companies share over the possibly misleading implications of recent articles carried in many local and national newspapers on your report and news conference concerning mesothelioma. The linking together of asbestos and mesothelioma in a cause and effect relationship is clearly made in an article which appeared in The New York Times of October 7, 1964. But in addition to describing your comments on possible occupational hazards, that article also ascribes to you and to Dr. Hammond statements and inferences that go beyond the confines of the studies which you actually conducted; " The worrisome feature,Dr. Hammond and Dr. Selikoff said, is the evidence that asbestos, once taken into the body,stays there. Thus even a single heavy exposurecould conceivably produce a cancer after a latent period of 20 years or more,they said. " This idea, for which they said there is some experimental as well as epidemiological evidence could expand the risk from simply those occupationally exposed to virtually anyone who might only occasionally encounter asbestos dust." Again, that article stated; "The specialists who gave the report expressed worry that the danger might not be entirely restricted to a limited occupation group, but that it might be more general and possibly of considerable importance. There is no direct evidence to substantiate this,they said, but some of the available findings hint that this may be the case." It is common knowledge that developments in the field of cancer and possible causative factors or possible preventative and curative measures are subjects of very great and vital public concern. It must be recognized, how ever, that only the most careful and dispassionate efforts in presenting the results of limited researchin this field to the public can avoid misinterpretation, oversimplification,and exaggeration. This is particularly true in discussing with members of the press such limited and tentative conclusions as those suggested by your studies. Unfounded inferences and hints of danger, though sure of receiving wide distribution, contribute nothing to public under standing. Nor do they aid intelligent action by anyone,whether at the individual or group level or in private or public agencies. The health and welfare of workers in the asbestos and related in dustries, no less than the general public, in part of course rests upon wise,careful,and practical utilization of scientific know ledge. Innocent but unwise treatment of research data in public discussions or leaving it to laymen to appreciate the carefully phrased limitations and qualifications,can cause reactions that are not justified by the state of scientifJ^^knqT|3i^d^e. ^ M Ms 005270 MT-004676 ATI-126 Letter to Dr. Selikoff, continued - Page -2- The efforts by members of this association in their own scientific work and medical programs and in cooperation with studies by such groups as the Public Health Service amply demonstrate the willingness of this part of the asbestos industry to act responsibly and intelligently in matters involving the health and safety of its employees and the general public as well. These companies welcome all responsible efforts along these lines. The Asbestos Textile Institute urges no restraint upon independent medical inquiry or research - indeed it earnestly desires expansion of existing knowledge in this field. Nor does this Association seek in any way,to discourage the right to discuss the results of such efforts. But it does urge caution in the discussion of these activities to avoid providing the basis for possibly damaging and misleading news stories. The right to study and to discuss these subjects is clear,of course. But the gravity of the subject matter and the consequences Implicitly involved impose upon any who exercise those rights a very high degree of responsibility for their actions.

Again, that article stated* "The specialists who gave the report ex pressed worry that the danger might not be entirely restricted to a limited occupation group, but that It might be more general and possibly of considerable importance. There is no direct evidence to substantiate this, they said, but some of the available findings hint that this may be the case, " It is common knowledge that developments in the field of cancer and possible causative factors or possible preventative and curative measures are subjects of very great and vital public concern. It must be recognized, however, that only the most careful and dispassionate efforts in presenting the results of limited research MS 005289 -2- produced MT-004695 ATI-126 in this field to the public can avoid misinterpreta tion, oversimplification, and exaggeration* This Is particularly true in discussing with members of the press such limited and tentative conclusions as those suggested by your studies# Unfounded inferences and hints of danger, though sure of receiving wide distribution, contribute nothing to public understanding* Nor do they aid intel ligent action by anyone, whether at the individual or group level or in private or public agencies* The health and welfare of wooers in the asbestos and related indus tries, no less than the general public, in part of course rests upon wise, careful, and practical utilisation of scientific knowledge. Innocent but unwise treatment, of research data in public discussions or leaving it to lay men to appreciate the carefully phrased limitations and qualifications, can cause reactions that are not Justi fied by the state of scientific knowledge.

Selikoff in connection with the very out spoken publicity on Asbestosis is very much to the point, well phrased, and iri my opinion as a member of the Board of Governors of the A.T.I. your letter should be released at once. This is particularly significant at this tine in view of the very damaging press releases that we obtained on October 19th while attending the Waldorf Astoris meeting on Biological Effects of Asbestos. Whether or not these releases will be printed remains to be seen as there was considerable objection raised during the meeting. Your letter is so well phrased that we think in addition to addressing this letter to Dr. Selikoff that a copy of the letter should also be sent to Eunice Thomas Miner, Executive-Director, The New York Academy of Sciences,, Two E. 63rd St, N.Y, Our reasoning in back of making this suggestion is that we have no assurance that Dr. Selikoff will be governed by suggestions of being more factual in his press releases inasmuch as the current conference at the Waldorf is under the sponsership of the New York Academy of Sciences. At least they should know first hand that there is objection to what has taken place so far. Thank you for your cooperation in this entire matter. WSH/rm dc: Staton J. Peele J.A. Brown, Jr. E.H.

A growing number of .reports on the occurrence of asbestosis--a serious disease of the lungs due to the inhalation of asbestos dust--and asbestos cancer, reflect the harmful effects of exposure to asbestos dust. Dr. W. C. Hueper (National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Md.) told a Conference on Biological Effects of Asbestos. The three-day Conference, sponsored by The New York Academy of Sciences, began today at The Waldorf Astoria. "The enormous rise in production and industrial use of asbestos during the past 50 years has resulted in markedly widened exposure to asbestos dust for a greatly increased number and variety of workers," said Dr. Hueper. Dr. I. J. Selikoff and co-workers (The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City) told the Conference about a study of 1522 asbestos insulation workers in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan area. Of the 307 who had died during the past 20 years, 20 per cent had cancer of the lung, probably a complication of asbest.osis. Another 20 per cent died of cancer elsewhere in the body which may have resulted from exposure to asbestos. About five to six per cent died of asbestosis. Only a little more than half--55. per cent---died of all other causes. X-ray examination of the lungs of 1,117 of the surviving asbestos insulation workers revealed that many of them had asbestosis. Of those who first began to work with asbestos 40 or more years ago, 94 per cent gave X-ray evidence of asbestosis. Of those whose first exposure to asbestos PRODUCED .Ill - S3.. ' i MS 005296 MT-004702 ATI-126 began less than 10 years ago, 10 per cent gave definite X-ray evidence of asbestosis. Dr, Selikoff concluded that the health and lives of asbestos insulation workers are greatly endangered by their occupation. From England comes a report by Dr. W. J. Smither (Asbestos Research Council) about 71 asbestos workers who have died since 1957- All were employed by a factory in London which has been manufacturing asbestos products for 50 years. The mean age at death of these 71 workers was 57 years. Although tuberculosis was present much less frequently than among those who died before 1957, there was a definite increase in the occurrence of lung cancer. And the relatively high number of cancers starting in the pleura and peritoneum--the membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities and covering the organs within these cavities--surprised those engaged in the study. Dr. R. Kiviluoto (Tampere Central Hospital, Finland) told the Conference about calcified plaques found in the pleura of several hundred persons, living in the vicinity of two Finnish asbestos mines, but not employed in the mining industry. Other X-ray evidence of asbestosis was not found in most of them. The plaques, once thought not to have serious clinical significance, are characteristic of early changes found in the pleura of asbestos workers. ' These people have what is now called endemic asbestosis, unrecognized before I960. Dr. Kiviluoto pointed out that, because asbestos dust is indestructible and insoluble, even a brief exposure may result in severe lung damage many years later. The urban dweller is now inhaling more asbestos dust, said Dr. J. G. Thomson (Medical School, Cape Town, Africa). This is due to increasing consumption and diversity of uses of asbestos in cities and to its virtual indestructibility, he said. Dr. Thomson told about the search that was made for "asbestos bodies" in the lungs of 500 deceased persons over 15 years of age in Cape Town, South Africa, and 500 in Miami, Florida. (Asbestos bodies PRODUCED J................................ ................ ...... Hi-83 MS 005297 MT-004703 ATI-126 are asbestos fibers coated with an iron-containing substance.) The results were similar in the two groups. Asbestos bodies were present in no less than 30 per cent of the males and 20 per cent of the females, he said. An increase in the occurrence of cancer of the pleura and peritoneum, in urban dwellers was forecast by Dr. Thomson as a result of this new form of air pollution. Such cancers can occur when there is only a small concen tration of asbestos fibers in the lower part of the lung, he said. Investigators engaged in experimental asbestosis research told the Conference of their findings. New ways to detect the "invisible" asbestos fibers in tissues were described by Dr. C. Berkley and co-workers (Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City). Localization.of the fibers by electronic ashing has proven highly satisfactory, they said. Dr. J. Mills (Reading University, England) said that in guinea pigs, finely divided particles of asbestos seem to be more active in the production of lung fibrosis than the larger particles which produce asbestos bodies. In spite of the fact that the experimental animals were exposed to asbestos dust in sealed chambers, small amounts of dust gained access to the animal room and many untreated guinea pigs developed interstitual pneumonia, he said. ' The most important commercial varieties of asbestos are chrysotile, crocido- lite and amosite. Chrysotile, or white asbestos--?a silicate containing magnesium--come.s from serpentine rock and occurs as tubular fibers and sheets. Crocidolite, or blue asbestos--a silicate of sodium and iron--comes from banded ironstone rock and occurs as solid fibers. Amosite, fawn-colored--a silicate of magnesium and iron--also occurs in banded'ironstone as solid fibers. The greatest use of asbestos, both chrysotile and crocidolite, is in the manu facture of asbestos cement products. These products, manufactured in most countries of the world, consist of pipes, flat and corrugated sheets, shingles, and others. The second largest use of asbestos is in the manufacture of asphalt and vinyl asbestos floor tile. pHQf)UCfl^D JM - *3 MS 005298 MT-004704 la-ooi r S %K>,: October 21, 1964 Mr. J. A.

FOR RELEASE: October 21, 1564 p-v \ ASBESTOS LINKED TO SEVERAL MALIGNANCIES; MAY PAVE WAY FOR CIGARETTE-INDUCED CANCER New'York City, October 20, 1964. In England, Wales and Scotland over 50 per cent of males recently deceased and known to have had asbestosis also had cancer within the chest cavity. Dr. W. B. Buchanan told the Conference on Biological Effects of Asbestos, sponsored by The New York Academy of Sciences. Today's meeting, the second of the three-day Conference was held at The Waldorf-Astoria. Dr. Buchanan (Ministry of Labor, London, England) based his statement on an analysis of all the death certificates on which the presence of asbestosis is recorded from the three countries. Up to the end of 19^3, 584 such death certificates have been received, he said, and the annual number of them is increasing. A relationship between asbestosis and cancer within the chest was suspected as long ago as 1947, and there now seems to be little doubt that such a connection is real and meaningful, he said. Two German physicians, Drs. G. Jacob and M. Amspach, who studied such cases, noted that there were two kinds of cancers. Some of the cancers were bronchogenic--that is, they began in the lining of the branches of the wind pipe which carry air into the lung. Other cancers were mesotheliomas, which start in the pleura--the membrane which lines the chest cavity and covers the lungs. They also found some mesotheliomas which began in the peritoneum-- the membrane which lines the abdominal cavity and covers the organs within. Drs. Jacob and Amspach said that there was a relatively' high incidence of pleural mesotheliomas among people who live in the vicinity of the Dresden asbestos works. _________ ____ PRODUCED Jill-83 MS 005303 MT-004709 ATI-126 Dr. E. C. Hammond and co-workers (Mt. Sinai Hospital, Hew York City) . were surprised to find a high incidence (20 per cent) of cancer of the stomach and intestinal tract in 307 deceased insulation workers in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan area. They believe that in many of these cases, the cancer did not arise from the cells that line the inside of the gastrointestinal tract, hut from the cells of the peritoneum. Such cancers were quite probably, therefore, mesotheliomas connected in some way with exposure to asbestos. In Ireland, Drs. P. C. Elmes and 0. L. Wade (Queen's University, Eelfast, Ireland) studied h2 proved cases of pleural mesothelioma, and found that in ' 32 of these cases there was a positive history of exposure to asbestos. Asbestos bodies--asbestos fibers surrounded by an iron-containing substance -- were found in the lungs of 88 per cent of these patients. These findings are further evidence that asbestos plays a role in pleural mesotheliomas. In the laboratory, Drs. W. E. Smith and L. Miller (Fairleigh Dickinson University, Madison, N.J.) found large tumors in the chest cavities of hamsters--possibly mesotheliomas--after a single injection of asbestos into the cavities. They reported that the kinds of asbestos which stimulated * tumor production were harsh chrysotile^white asbestos--and amosite--fawn- colored asbestos. Both are silicates of magnesium. Amosite also contains . iron. ' The same researchers said they had been unable to produce bronchogenic cancer in hamsters by introducing the same two kinds of asbestos into , the lungs via the air passages. But, when either chrysotile or amosite were introduced into the air passages with a cancer-producing substance occurring in tobacco smoke, cancers occurred in twice as many animals as when the cancer-prcducing agent was introduced alone. Therefore, the MS 005304 ____ PRODUCED ___ JII-J83 IWT-004710 3 ATI-126 laboratory tests confirm the epidemiological evidence that asbestos can cause malignant mesotheliomas and may enhance the cancer-producing activity of chemicals known to produce bronchogenic cancer. Other laboratory researchers reported that they are now trying to find out if it is the asbestos itself or something associated with it which stimulates cancer formation. because those workmen who acquire asbestosis are entitled to compensation, definite standards already exist which measure the severity of incapacitation. Such standards are based on information obtained from chest X-rays, physical examination, and tests of lung function. MS 005305 PRODUCED ill-S3 WIT-004711 Delivered by 'VV' Time Receipt No* &.

October 21, 1964. The increasing occurrence of cancer among asbestos workers is, ironically, a reflection of their improved working conditions and longer life span, scientists were told today at an inter national Conference on Biological Effects of Asbestos. The Conference is sponsored by The Mew York Academy of Sciences. Today's meeting at The Waldorf-Astoria brings the three-day meeting to a close. In the early days of the industry, said Dr. J. C. Gilson (M.R.C. Pheunoconiosis Research Unit, Glamorgan, Wales), men working for only a few years in an asbestos-laden atmosphere developed asbestosis--excessive scarring of the lungs due to inhalation of the asbestos particles. Often these men died prematurely because of the complications of asbestosis-- pneumonia or tuberculosis, he said. When factory conditions were altered so that pneumonia and tuberculosis were no longer such a problem. Dr. Gilson continued, the late effects of asbestosis were commonly encountered, including severe bronchial conditions and enlargement of the heart. More recently, said Dr. Gilson, those workers with' only moderate degrees of asbestosis have survived long enough to develop cancers originating in the bronchial passages. Now, quite unexpectedly, malignant tumors arising from the linings of the chest and abdominal cavities--mesotheliomas--are occurring in workers who have had only slight exposure to asbestos 40 or more years previously. Kesotheiiomas due to asbestos are also being found among people who live near PRODUCED in................................. MS 005307 WIT-004713 ^ ATI-126 asbestos mines and factories, and among city dwellers whose environment is contaminated by asbestos used in insulation and elsewhere. Dr. Gilson pointed out that it is important to find out which kinds of asbestos fibers do the least harm within the body, so that the safer varieties of fibers may be more commonly used in the future. The geographical location of the asbestos deposit is an important factor contributing to its capacity to cause disease, Dr. K. W. Smith (Johns-Manville Corporation, Manville, N.J.) asserted. Chrome, nickel or radioactivity are associated with some deposits, he said. These contaminants are known to be cancer-producing in their own right. Dr. J. C. Wagner (Pneumoconiosis Research Unit, Glamorgan, Wales) told the Conference that it is not known exactly how asbestos causes disease. Nor is it known how the asbestos fibers migrate in the body. He said that pleural mesotheliomas--malignant tumors arising from the lining of the chest cavity-- have occurred in animals following the injection of chrysotile, crocidolite, and amosite--the major varieties of asbestos. Pleural mesotheliomas have also been the result of injections of silica, which occurs naturally in sand and quartz. Asbestos also contains silica. Other investigators from England, Ireland and South Africa described the nature of the mesothelioma in detail. They presented clear-cut evidence to prove that asbestos, or something associated with it, does indeed cause these malignant tumors in man and animal. In man, known exposure to asbestos and the presence of asbestos fibers in tumors and lungs are significant. ' The New York Academy of Sciences, which is host to many thousands of scientists at the more than 20 major international scientific conferences it sponsors annually, recently announced plans to con-" struct a $25 million World Science Center in the heart of New York City.

The linking together of asbestos and mesothelioma in a cause and effect relationship Is clearly made in the article which appeared in The New York Times of October 7, 1964. But in addition to describing the com ments on possible occupational hazards, that article also ascribes to Dr. Selikoff and to Dr. Hammond statements and inferences that go beyond the confines of the studies which Dr. Selikoff actually conducted: . ''The worrisome feature. Dr. Hammond and Dr. Selikoff said, is the evidence that asbestos, once taken into the body, stays there. Thus even a single heavy exposure could conceivably produce a cancer after a latent period of 20 years or more, they said.

Again, that article statedt "The specialists who gave the report ex pressed worry that the danger might not be entirely restricted to a limited occupation group, but that it might be more general and possibly of considerable importance. There is no direct evidence to substantiate this, they said, but some of the available find ings hint that this may be the case." It is common knowledge that developments In the field of cancer and possible causative factors or possible preventative and curative measures are subjects of very great and vital public concern. It must be recognized, however, that only the most careful and dispassionate efforts in presenting the results of limited research in this field to the public can avoid misinterpretation, over simplification, and exaggeration. This is particularly true In discussing with members of the press such limited and tentative conclusions as those suggested by your studies* Unfounded inferences and hints of danger, though sure of receiving wide distribution, contribute nothing to public understanding. Nor do they aid Intelligent action by anyone, whether at the individual or group level or in private or public agencies. The health and welfare of workers In the asbestos and related industries, no less than the general public. In part of course rests upon wise, careful, and practical utilization of scientific knowledge. Innocent but unwise treatment of research data In public discussions or leaving it to laymen to appreciate the care fully phrased limitations and qualifications, can cause reactions that are not justified by the state of scientific knowledge* MS 005313 PRODUCED Jin-83 MT-004719 1 i \ Delivered by w Time Receipt No. &.

It was not based, as your letter incorrectly suggests, on the Academy Conference on "Biological Effects of Asbestos," which took place on October 19, 20, and 21, 1964. Obviously, the Academy cannot be held responsible for statements allegedly made at a meeting it did not sponsor. It is, in any case, difficult to comprehend why your client should address a cautionary note to this organization, which serves only as a forum for members of the scientific community. If your client has the? sense that Dr. Selikoff was not accurately reported, he would seem better advised to address his remarks to The Hew York Times. As to the contention that Drs. Selikoff and Hammond have extrapolated too freely from their data, this seems to us a question which lies entirely in the province of experts in this'area. The Academy's own policy with regards to the press is quite straightforward. Our conferences are open to all responsible segments of the press, and no attempt is made to impose any censorship whatever upon either the participants or the news media. We must respectfully reject any inference that it is ever in the public' interest to withhold research data from the press on the basis that "carefully phrased limitations and qualifications" may still not prevent the layman from drawing unwarranted conclusions. It is clearly impossible to protect oneself against every conceivable misinterpretation without lapsing into complete silence. This it is decidedly not our intention to do.

BOX 239 75 CENTER ST., POMPTON LAKES, N. J. 07442 U. S. A. 6 November 1964 Phone: 839-2216 Area code 201 Hr. George Reycraft Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft 14 Wall Street New York 5, N. Y. Dear Mr. Reycraft: I am attaching three copies of news releases A, B and C which were supposed to have been released to the press during the con ference on the Biological Effects of Asbestos at the Waldorf Astoria several weeks, ago. Fortunately, due to the alertness of Mr. Edward Schuman of J/M and Mr. Robert Cryor of North American Asbestos Company, these releases were discovered before their release, and the resultant; objections that arose in the meeting^because of the sensationalism of the material^heId up their issuance. It is my opinion that this whole situation should be discussed at the next Board of Governor*s meeting but for my part I do not believe that any further steps should be taken at this time. I also feel that this subject should not be brought to the atten tion of others than management of our several companies, as any general discussion on this situation by sales personnel with users of our products, could possibly aggravate the situation and result in individual opinions which could be damaging. I feel that Mr. Reycraft*s letter accomplished, for the time being, the fact that we, as an Industry, protest any irresponsible state ments being made to the press. I would welcome, and appreciate, an expression from the members of the Board of Governors regarding this very critical matter. Very truly yours. JOHN A. BROWN, JR. - PRESIDENT sag at t.
