Attn: Mr. L. E. Feitt
Dear Mr. Feitt;
The four copies of the November NEWSLETTER were mailed to you on November 5. If you need more, we have a few.
I note your reprint of "ASBESTOS SUSPECTED AS A CANCER CAUSE" in the NYSICA November issue. At our national meet ing in San Francisco, we had as a speaker, Dr. Kenneth Smith, MD Medical Director of Johns-Manville. He is probably the world's top man on Asbestosis, with a life time of experience and knowledge.
Dr. Selikoff is a new comer in this field, and appar ently has the support of the unions in his position that all cases of this disease and similar ones, are the fault of employers. I am sure that Ray Wopperer and Ted Spania can fill you in on Dr. Smith's address, which is a rebuttal to Dr. Selikoff's position.
Please let me congratulate you on NYSICA NEWS, As another "FRUSTRATED EDITOR", I know what you're going thru, and if I can help in anyway, please don't hesitate to let me know. Use any thing from the IDCNA NEWSLETTER that may be of interest to you.
Sinoexely yours,
EFJ/vjc
