The minutes of the previous meeting of April 21*, 1957 were approved. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY The Secretary reported on the progress of the Association activities for 1957 to date and a copy of his report is attached as exhibit BAn* The secretary was instructed to mail a copy of his report to each member of the Association* The secretary further reported that on a recent visit to San Francisco Mr. J. D. Bradley had kindly arranged for several .conferences with Mr. John B. Rodgers a partner in the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which is one of the country's leading architectural firms. The purpose of these conferences was to .explore possible means of expanding the markets for lead products in the building construction field with particular references to the changing types of construction now being used. It de veloped that this firm, in addition to its normal architectural practices. -2 has also made a number of studies in the building field for government and private agencies and would be willing to undertake a systematic study for the Lead Industries Association. The secretary said that he had recently received a letter from Ur. Rodgers outlining his proposal for such a study, but this proposal has been received so recently that he felt there has been inadequate time to make specific recommendations to the Board* The president pointed out that the Executive Committee of the Association can act for the Board at any time and, therefore, instructed the secretary to continue his negotiations with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and to present definite recommendations to the Executive Conmittee at the proper time* AMENDMENT OF BI-LATHS The amendments to the Associations By-Laws, prepared by a committee appointed at the last meeting of the Board, consisting -of Messrs* J. A* -Costello, Chairman, J. D. Bradley and F. S. Mulock, attached as Exhibit "B" were approved. MEMBERSHIP Dixie Lead Company - The secretary presented a letter of resignation from the Dixie Lead Compary, Dallas, Texas* The Board accepted the resignation with regret. Pennsylvania Smelting & Refining Co* - The secretary presented a letter addressed to the Creditors of the Pennsylvania Smelting & Refin ing Company, asking for a statement of the Associations account and advising that a plan was being drawn up for a one-year extension on .all debts. The secretary requested the Boards views for handling the member ship of Pennsylvania Smelting St Refining Co* It was decided to hold this in abeyance until the next Board meeting* - EXPANDED RESEARCH ffiOGRAM In accordance with an explanation given in the notice of meet ing dated August 22, 1957* a report prepared by Ur. Robert Hendricks of the Consolidated Mining St Smelting Co. of Canada Ltd., on recommendations for an expanded research program was presented as follows t "At a meeting of the representatives of the lead and cine producers, held in the Board Room of the America! Zinc Institute and Lead Industries Association today, I was instruct ed to recommend to the Boards of Directors of the .American Zinc Institute and the Lead Industries Association the f oilowing* 1* That the Directors of the L.I.A* establish a research section of the Association to function under the direction of the Industry Development Committee of the Lead In dustries Association* u L1*0C6U -3- 2. That the Directors of the American Zinc Institute establish a Technical Steering Committee for that organization* 3. That the Directors empower a temporary committee consisting of the president of the AZI, president of the LIA, the chair man of the Technical Steering Committee of each organiza tion, a representative of the associate members, the executive vice president of the AZI and the secretary of the LIA to* a* Hire a qualified research director. b. Establish headquarters, arrange for secretarial help, and authorize the hiring of additional staff as re quired. c. Determine methods of handling legal and contractual matters of such research. U. That the Boards of Directors of the two associations accept the principle that the cost of operating the research sec tion be borne entirely by the zinc and lead producers sub scribing to the research program on a prorated basis for lead and zinc and on the basis of total production of lead and zinc, as the case may be. n 5. Authorize the annual expenditure of $50,000 for the purposes -1 outlined in 3 above for a continuing period of 5 years, this money to be raised by special assessments of the le ad and zinc producers on the basis of total lead and zinc produced in the year." September 25, 1957 R. Hendricks ******* It was regularly moved, seconded and carried that thB program as outlined in Jtr. Hendrick's report be approved. Meeting was adjourned at 12:10 P.M.

The Technical Sterring Committee has been active and valuable in initiating research programs and evaluating others* Of prime importance is a contract entered into with Battelle Memorial Institute, on recommendation of the Technical Steering Committee, for "Evaluation of Research Needs and Formulation of a Research Program for the Lead Industries Association," at a cost of $20,000* The actual work on this survey was started around the end of May and a final report is expected in November or December* Battelle has kept in close touch with the Association offices through frequent visits and has issued brief monthly progress reports which have been circulated to the Technical Steer ing Committee* A meeting at Battelle of the Technical Steering Committee n is tentatively being arranged for the latter part of October to discuss, in a preliminary way, Battelle *s findings so far* Through the Cable Sheathing Task Group of the Technical Steering Committee, the John Robertson Co., leading American manufacturer of lead extrusion presses, is undertaking a research program, at its own expense, on the continuous extrusion of the lead allays commonly used for cable sheathing* An experimental press is now under construction and it appears that this press may be ready for experimental work in another couple of months* A large part of the manuscript for the Monograph on Lead, to be pub lished by the American Chemical Society, is now in our hands and a recent check indicates that much of the balance is either in preparation or already prepared and awaiting final approval* As it was found that some out-of-pocket expense would be necessary to complete the manuscript in the most authoritative manner, the Industry Development Committee has been asked to approve an expenditure of up to $3,000 for payment of authors of certain parts and editorial assistance, with the expectation that most if not all of this money, will be recovered through royalties co the sale of the book after publication* A joint research project with the Navy on a red lead ship bottom paint, developed aid tested by the Red Lead Technical Committee, has been completed after three years* The results were favorable to 'the new red lead paint in that the performance equalled a more expensive and difficult to manufacture Navy paint containing no red lead* This test should be good amsunition for further promotion in the shipping aid ship building industries* In this connection it is interesting to note that we re cently received a letter from the New York Shipbuilding Co* at Camden, N.J*, sl-iting that they were shifting over from sine chromate to red lead paints N 645.01 LlAOOf16 Progress Report EAlUUXb "A" Board of Directors Meeting September 26, 1957 -2- and asking for guidance on the safe handling of our project. Other tests conducted by the Red Lead Technical Committee have developed a red lead-sine dust paint which gives meritorious service on galvanized surfaces and combines the advantages of sine dust for painting new galvanized surfaces with the rust inhibition of red lead should the surface become impaired or should -it be partly rusted when painted. Our Ceramics Technical Committee has awarded three graduate research fellowships at $2,500 each. One is on the use of lead in ceramic bodies in which the ceramic industry has already shown interest, the work being done at the Rutgers School of Ceramics. Another, in which the ceramic industry is already showing interest, is on low firing lead-bearing porcelain enamels which was assigned to the University of Illinois. The third is on lead glazes on sewer pipe and sanitary ware, assigned to Ohio State University. In this latter case a new trend is developing towards the use of ceramic glazes on clay sewer pipe and so far the industry is using a variety of glazes, some containing as much as 20 to 30 per cent lead and some containing no lead at all. Recent contacts with the ceramic industries have suggested other areas of research which may prove beneficial. In the ceramic program this year, in addition to research, we completed distribution of the technical handbook, "Lead in the Ceramic In dustries," have been running monthly advertisements in "Ceramic Industry" and "American Ceramic Society Bulletin," a supplement to "Lead in the Ceramic Industries" is in the hands of the printers, with two additional supplements being considered by our committee, and nine permanent exhibits are Tinder con struction to be donated to leading colleges teaching ceramics. The Ceramics Technical Committee is meeting tomorrow to outline a 1958 program. In our red lead work we have run six monthly advertisements in "Engineering Hews-Record" from April through September. Red Lead .Technical Letter No. 12, dealing with painting of higbw^r structures, was distributed to 11,000 people and a promotional brochure along the saro line is under pre paration. The Red Lead Technical Committee met last week and laid out a recommended program for 1958. In our metallic lead products work we have exhibited this year at the National Home Show, sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders, and at the annual convention of the National Association of Plumbing Contrac tors, and will have an exhibit at the National Chemical Exposition in December. Our text book for plumber's apprentices continues to sell heavily with some 600 or 700 copies sold this year to date so that we have just about recovered our entire cost of this project over the four years since the book was prepared. Also in connection with apprentice training. Hr. Borcina was judge at the International Plumbers Apprentice Contest and Mr.Tetman conduc ted a course for instructors on lead work. Ve awarded prizes to the three best apprentice lead workers. LIA00617 n n nu Progress Exhibit "A" -3 Board of Directors Meeting September 26, 1957 We have contracted for two four-page catalogs, one on plumbing and one on roofing and flashing, to appear in the 1958 edition of Sweets Catalog. The third in our series of Lead Building Construction Bulletins will be published before the end of the year aid we issued a new leaflet on lead flashing for the small home. The Solder Committee has virtually completed its work on tbs Soldering Handbook, to be published by the America* Welding Society prob ably sometime in 1958. The chapter on lead for the American Chemical Society Monograph on Corrosion is being revised by Mr. Mullarkey and he also prepared the annual review on lead for "Industrial & Engineering Chemistry" and an article on the use of lead in the oil refining industry for "Petroleum Refiner." In radiation shielding field, secret "Q" clearance was obtained on Mr.Mullarkey and he has visited a number of atomic installations, in cluding Oak Ridge. He has gathered material which has been helpful for publicity purposes. We have also been asked for suggestions for a chairman and members of an ASTM committee to work on specifications for lead radiation shielding and have cooperated with several governmental and private agencies, such as the Wright Air Development Center and Lockheed Aircraft, who are undertaking research programs on lead as a shielding material. As time goes on our health and safety work more and more demon strates its value in protecting our markets and avoiding governmental regu lations onerous to our industry. Much of it has involved research. Right now the American Water Works Association is considering a revision of its specification for the painting tf interiors of water tanks which has traditionally specified red lead paint. The public health service has questioned the safety of this practice but the research work we have done over the past seven years through the Massachusetts Department of Occupational Hygiene should be invaluable in proving that red lead paints offer no toxic hazard, thus protecting this specification* The Americai Standards Association subcommittee on lead, of which Mr. Bowditch is chairman, was instrumental in a revision of the American Con ference of Governmental Industrial tygienists* safe allowable limit for lead in the air which increased the limit from 1.5 to 2.0 milligrams per 10 cubic meters, or 33-1/3 per cent. The ASA subcommittee is now working on possible v further increases for certain inorganic lead compounds. With the publication of three reports the study of childhood plumbism, financed by LIA at Johns Hopkins Hospital, came to a close and our work at the Children's Medical Center at Boston continues but at greatly reduced cost. Our publication "Lead" is now being published on a quarterly basis and circulated to nearly 00 users and prospective users on lead. The value of the inquiries received from this publication indicate that an increase in its distribution may wgPt^e yarranted. LI A 00 618 Progress Report Exhibit "A" -h- Board of Directors Meeting September 26, 1957 Mauy other things might be mentioned such as our statistical service, jxiblicity work and handling of technical and other types of in quiries, which are all extremely important but which are routine operations of the Association. With reference to the finances of the Association, you will re ceive a quarterly statement as of October 1 so I won't go into detail now. Tfe estimate that at the year-end all funds will have been operated this year approximately as approved with the exception of the Ceramic Fund which may show a deficit of $1,000 to $2,000 because of an underestimate in the cost of producing the book on ceramics. Reserves at the beginning of 1957 and estimated reserves at the year-end are as follows: Ordinary Fund Haalth and Safety Metallic Lead Products Pigments & Chemicals Ceramics Radiation Shielding Industry Development Pension Total Jan. 1, 1957 $1:9,000 27,000 23,000 U,000 16,000 91,000 210,000 Estimated Jan. 1, 1958 $1:9,000 26,000 18,000 1*000 -2,000 18,000 98,000 211,000 Respectfully submitted.
