:
We therefore find from the evidence that the employers above named and the insurance carriers for the employers are jointly and severally liable for the applicant's disability which consists of
a pneumoconiosis and more specifically asbestosis silicosia and
a complicating tuberculosis
The applicant became disabled because of

inclines to the view that

the incident of carcinoma is much more
prevalent in patients suffering from pneumoconiosia than people

and the same fact is mentioned in the report of Dr. John H. Urabeo
dated October 6 1959

It is too soon at this time to determine the permanent disability resulting from the industrial exposure and we are reserving juria-
diction to rate for permanent disability
Earnings from the evidence are clearly maxim~-m
The applicant is entitled to be reimbursed for his procured

There is a lien on file in the sum of 105.00 by Dr. C. Pierre D Lawter However Dr. De Lawter was the anesthesiologist at the time the lower lobe of the right lung was removed and the bill also indicates that copies were served upon the defendants It

La
oarainoms tous In correlation with the clinical aspects together with the rather
extensive wall differentiated components of the squamous careinceus 1"
appears that the carcinoma developed in a preexisting area of
fibrosis and became limited to such area by such fibrosis together with
fibrous organization of thrombi involved with suncer elementa The
carcinomas structural setting is not that typical of the brushiolar
but the derivation of the squamous cancer seen in this case
be ca
the same basis namely from stypical squamous metaplasia andmahyyperplasia
of bronchiales at sites of bronchiolosctasis and pulmonary fibrosis

Morophages The structural setting of the pneumoconiosis in this case is soms
variable from one region to another different
such variability possibly representing
phases in the development of a morphologia alteration mough
also possibly due to different forms or types of inhaled toxic quat

of asbestos partisien with formation of typical asbestosis bodies
particularly in the small bronani bromenioles and alveoli

However
bodies are not evident within the peribronchial and

to distomaceous earth
setting resmibling namely 181170
accumulations of dust laden macrophages with variable mumber of milti-
nuclear f^ras and with variable incresse in collagenous fibers These
cellular lesions occasionally coalesce to form larger nodular structures
with central degeneration or hyalinization of collagen but the typical
discrete morled hyalinized collagenous nodular structure of silicosia
are not observed Within the lymp nodes UD vast majority of the
macbophages or histiocytes contain dark gray or black anthracboda

carriers or employers should properly have the
burden of adjusting the share that each should
bear and that should be done by them in an inde-
pendent proceeding between themselves They are in a better position to produce evidence on the
subject and establish the proper apportionment All of them may have contributed to the disability
and the employee should be permitted to proceed
against and have an award amainat any or all of them for the whole disability if the evidence dis
closes that he was exposed to silica dust during

Eriefly reviewing the proceedings in this
case it should be noted that after lengthy procedures Findings and Award first issued on May 22 1956 Principally the award was for temporary
disability which was on a continuing basis and for medical treatment The liability was separated :
and apportioned among the various defendants including the Subsequent Injuries Fund Under this
apportionment ten of the defendants were called
upon to make payments of less than 1.00 per week Petitions for Reconsideration were filed by the
Subsequent Injuries Fund and two of the insurance
carriers The petitions were granted The Panel
on its own motion granted reconsideration to the
.
other defendants The Panel at that time expressed the opinion that it was improper to make an award
directly against the Subsequent Injuries Pund in favor of the employee We also observed that the
award against the other defendants must be joint and several We discussed the Pedraza case and
also the statute in question and pointed out that the purpose of a joint and several award was to

In the Wulters case
Subsequent Injuries Pund v Industrial Accident Commission
pe NWC the court
alscussing this very problem sald
22 cce
Prom the standpoint of the employee it is desirable that
the initial proceedings be kept as simple as possible and
that the employee anculd not be concerned with whether all
of his employers or their insurance carriers have been
sought out or of even participating as an active party in
proceedings necessary to determine the ultimate apportion-
ment of liability as among the employers . ' Bearing in
mind that in the original proceeding by the employee each
employer named and against whom an award can be made is
jointly and severally liable for the entire award it be-
comes obvious that the provision permitting an employer
who has been held liable to institute supplemental proceed-
ings to compel apportionment as among all potentially liable
employers at least primarily for the benefit of the
employers
It will be noted that in the Pindings and Award others besides the
Petitioners were held liable The award was issued jointly and severally against all of the employers and insurance carriers then known and ascertained The Pincings and Award therefore are in keeping with the provisions of Labor Code Section 5500.5 and the court decision cited above The Petitioners herein have the remedy of apportionment as set forth in Labor Code Section 5500.5
A glance at the social security records will show that there
considerable number of employers who may have a potential liability
who to date have not been joined Obviously if the contention
the defendants la correct that an apportionment must be made in
original proceedings it would follow that litigation would
out interminably
It was just such a situation which Labor
Section 5500.5 and the court decisions attempted to remedy

it was not until March 24 1960 that defendant Industrial Indemnity
Company made payment of compensation in compliance with the
Findings & Award That on March 3 1960 applicant's attornaya
advised Herlihy & Herliny attorneye for defendant Industrial
Indemnity Company that applicant was still awaiting compliance
with the Award and inasmuch as defendants apparently could not

Re
James Whitcomb Riley vs. Manville Inc. et al IAC Case No. 57 LA 183-835
Dear Mr. Martinelli
In the above entitled matter we have recalculated
the apportionment of the proposed award which was incorpo-
rated in the stipulations to which we were a tentative
party on Friday June 16 1961.
The insurers of certain
of Mr. Riley's past employers were not included in the
previous apportionment and since the payroll allocated to
Plant Rubber & Asbestos Works was too high we are obliged
to withdraw from the stipulation of June 16 1961.
We
would however be willing to enter into a stipulation
which requires Plant Rubber & jabestos works to make a
contribution of 6,061.31 providing the total payment by all parties including our client aggregates 25,720.07
We enclose herewith a copy of our letter of this date to Mr. George D. Thompson of Herlihy & Herlihy together with a copy of the tabulation enclosed therewith

Dear Mr. Thompson
Re
James Whitcomb Alley va, Manville Inc. et al
AC Case No. 57 LA 183-835
In the above entitled matter we have recalculated the apportionment of the proposed award based upon the inclusion in the payroll of the earnings shown by the social
security records for Western Fiberglass Supply Ltd. Warren
& Bailey Co. Mundet Corx Corporation and J. T. Thorpe &
Son Inc. Emeryville California also known as Plant Asbestos Company and a reduction in the social security
earnings for Plant Rubber & Asbestos Warca to 3,000
You will recall that this alleged period of
employment by 1929 and 1934
Plant Rubber and in 1938.
and Asbestos Works was between
This reduction was aade because
the applicant testified that he worked only about half of
the time and information from former employees indicates indicates
that was
the wage rate was about 75 cents per hour and
of course extensive unemployment unemployment during these

believe that the allocation of 3,000 to our client for this
period is most generous
With respect to the additional periods of employment added to the calculation the California Inspection and Rating Bureau has advised that Western Fiberglass Supply Ltd. was insured by Industrial Indemnity Company or Industrial Indemnity Exchange and that Warren & Bailey Co. was insured by State Compensation Insurance Fund
At the discussions held on June 16 1961 at Los
Angeles it was conceded that the references in the social
security records and the application of November 18 1360 to Neindt Cork Company Meindt Cork Corporation and Maindt Cork
Corporation were misspellings of the correct name of Mundet Cork Corporation which presently has offices at 6116 Walker
Avenue Maywood California and 440 Brannan Street San
Francisco California This company during the period from 1949 to 1952 according to the California Inspection & Rating Bureau was covered for compensation purposes by Aetna

We understand that the entity named as J. 7. Thorpe & Son Inc. at Emeryville California was perhaps then but in all events is now known as Plant Asbestos Company its present address is 1300-64th Street Emeryville California that company advises us that its carrier during the year 1950
was Pacific Employers Insurance Company
We enclose herewith a tabulation showing a calculation of the appropriate factor for determining the lia-
bility allocation and siz sheets setting forth the June 16 1901 calculation and a revised calculation based on the in-
clusions and reductions referred to above You will note from these calculations based upon inclusion in the gross payroll of the additional wages mentioned above and the
reduction by 3,000 of the payroll charged to Plant Rubber & Asbestos Works that the contribution of the latter defendant to the proposed award would amount to 6,061.81 in lieu of the 7,004.91 figure suggested on June 16 1962 We believe this proposed reapportionment is just and equitable and therefore Plant Rubber & Asbestos Works will join in in a stipulation assessing it with 6,061.81 of the total liability liability liability

We are Bailing a copy of this letter and of the attached calculation to the Referee George A. Martinelli and to Mesara Kaya McLaughlin & Evans 6331 Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles 28 California Our recorda do nut perhaps accurately reflect the proper representatives of all of the defendanta and we therefore have taken the liberty of enclosing twelve additional copies of the calculation and would appreciate it if you would be so good as to circulate
them among the proper defense representatives
We are therefore advising Mr. Martinelli by our
letter of this date that we are withdrawing from the
stipulation requiring payment of 7,004.91 by Plant Rubber & Asbestos Works but will be pleased to enter into a stipulation requiring Plant Rubber & Asbestos Works to maica
a contribution of 1.51 to the gross amount payable
We trust that with this information in hand you will be in a position to effect the closing of this case
Very truly yours BROBECK PHLEGER & HARRISON

pleurs the extensive pulmonary fibrosis surrounding the infiltrativa
tumor and the fibrous organization of thrombi associated with the
intraluminal intraluminal carcinomatous infolvement of veins and arteries Even the
lymphatic involvement appears to be localized the adjacent and distant
pulmonary parenchyma in this lobe of lung being without recognizable
lymphatic spread and the numerous lymph nodes blocked serially and
step sectioned being without microscopic evidence of metastatic cancer
In correlation with the clinical aspects together with the rather
extensive well differentiated components of the squamous carcinoma it
pulmonary appears that
Sibrosis and
the carcinom developed in a preexisting area of became limited to such area by such fibrosis together
with
fibrous organization of thrombi involved with cancer elements The
structural setting is not that typical of the bronchiolar carcinomas
but the derivation of the squamous cancer seen in this case may be on
pulmonary the same basis namely from atypical squ^'nous metaplasia and hyperplasia
of bronchioles at sices of bronchiolectasis and
fibrosis
Such alterations are known to exist in this case elsewhere though
additional foci of independent carcinomatous transformation are not
definite unless such foci are an extremely early noninvasive or in situ phase of development
The structural setting of the pneumoconiosis in this case is somewhat
variable from one region to another such variability possibly representing different phases in the development of a porphologic alteration though
also possibly due to different form or types of inhaled toxic dust
particles Within the pulmonary parenchyma one etiologic factor is that
bronchioles of asbestos particles with formation of typical asbestusia bodies

and alveoli However

CONVENTION OF THE DEFENDANT
| The defendant herein contends that the decision holding it and
other defendants liable in a joint and several award naming it and |
others is not justified upon the facts of this case
i
and that all
of the facts circumstances and evidence do not support such order |
or award an issued by the Commission on November 27 1959. The
defendants submit that the lack of election by the applicant or complete joinder of defendants by the applicant in confunesior
the
}
with the vagueness of the allegations testimony of the applicant
lack of correlation and other discrepancies does not justify the
joint and several awards against those held The defendant hereda
|
contands that the holding of the defendant among others is not
Justified considering the foregoing factors and that therefore this matter should be reset for a more equitable finding
In the alternative
if
the
Commission
feels
that
the
'
defendant
and others now held are properly held they should only be held for
a proportionate share of the award on a percentage basis consider-
ing the amount of severage

CONTENTION OF THE DEFENDANT
2
The defendant herein contends that the decirton holding 5
|
and other defendants liable in a joint and several award naming it
and others is not justified upon the facts of this case and that as
of the facts circumstances and evidence do not support such order of
award as issued by the Commission on November 27 1959. The de-
|
a! fendanta submit that the lack of election by the applicant or the
| complete joinder of defendants by the applicant in conjunction with
| the vagueness of the allegations testimony of the applicant lack {
{
of correlation and other discrepancies does not justify the joint
J
and several award against those held
|
The defendant herein contencs | |
that the holding of the defendant among others is not justified con-
| sidering the foregoing factors and that therefore this matter should
be reset for a more equitable finding
|
A
\
In the alternative if the Commission feels that the
|
defendant and others now held are properly held they should only
be held for a proportionate share of the award on a percentage basis
considering the amount of coverage and employment over the whole and
the status of the evidence

The patient was referred to the ray Department of the Hospital of the Good Samaritan for chest rays These were reported as follows
anterior and lateral views of the chest show a fairly marked selective elevation of the right diaparagm and there is pleural thickening at the right costophrenic angle The appearance is unchanged since 7-20-59 Both lungs
are emphysematous and there is considerable generalized pulmonary fibrosis
which is also unchanged since the earlier examination
The lungs bow

// R. E. Rickenberg
Objectively at the time of the above physical examination it was my clinical
impression that his general physical condition had deteriorated slightly
as compared with the examination in January 1958
He did not appear
uncomfortable or ayapoeid at rest His decreased tolerance to physical
exercise has undoubtedly been increased as a result of the removal of lung
dssue at the ume of the operation when it was discovered that he had a
complicating neoplasm To date radiologically there is no evidence to
indicate any extension of this condition
The pulmonary fibrosis and the
emphysema appear relatively unchanged from about one year ago
As regards further treatment I believe that this should be symptomatic
No definitive treatment is indicated at this time
Very truly yours

could indicate that a tubercular disease was present A first Lab-
oratory last of July 2 1957 reported Wetmount for asbestos

diagnosis of pulmonary disease although the akin test
excluded fungus diseases as a cause of the applicant's disability
^ further test for asbestos revealed three completely character
istic aacestos bodies this indicated that the asbestos fibers were
in contact with human tissue Laboratory tests also disclosed
photochromogenic colonies of fast bacilli this is a gors similar to tuberculosia but is not exactly the same thing although its affect upon individuals is similar in nature For instaNCE tuberculosis is considered a communicable disease and the State requires that all cases be reported and quarantined this is not trus of the photochromogenic disease the Board of Health does not require report or quarantine This is something now and is being studies carefully but whether it is a communicable disease is not as yet conclusively established His diagnosis is
not based on laboratory reports alone be bad to consider the
applicant's work history together with his physical examination haing The rales detected at the lung base are characteristic of pulmonary fibrosis There was restriction of the lung bassa and this was confirmed by fluoroscopic examination Pulmonary

There is no way of determining whether the applicam is suffering from asbestasi^ outside of a lung biopsy except to take into consideration all of the laboratory findings the examination findings and the history given by the applicaht With this in mind he still insists that the diagnosis as made in his report fa much more than a possibility but is the probable cause of the applicant's disability It is true that the Veterans Administra tion ran several tests on the applicant and finally came up with an original diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis active one month and at tos tina that the applicant had himself discharged from the hospital the diagnosis was pulmonary

which are present It is not his opinion that the
disease is the cause of the applicant's disability
photochromgeni at this time
for the reason that the photochromogenic disease usually starta
at the apex of the lung but here first rays showed involvement
of the base of both lungs and then later rays showed that the
condition had advanced to the apex Usually in photochromogebic
disease the first findings are in the apex and not in the base of
the lungs
On June 17 1958 he made a report to the Prudential Insura nc
Company diagnosing the applicant's condition as pulmonary fibrosis with emphysema due to photochromogenic acid bacilli On April 18 1953 he made a similar report to the Occidental Insurance Company and on March 3 1958 he prepared an affidavit describing applicant's condo as monary fibrosis due to photochrogenic fast baddll It is the witness opinion and not merely a possibility but a reasonable cartainty that ha is suffering from an occupation pneumoconiosis asked whether a lung bispay would be helpful he stated that such a procedure is dangerous first of all the tissue to be examined must be taken
this from the diseased portion of the lung and the surgery to
portion of the lung may cause a catarioration of the condition
Consequently he would not recommend it

Ra James Whitcomb Riley
Gentlemen
I am writing at the request of Mr. Riley regarding his present medical stams and of my opinion regarding certain recommendations which have been made in his case by independent medical examiners
To briefly summarize Mr. Riley's course since my last report of September 19 1957 the following comments are offered
He left the Veterans Administration Hospital at Long Beach California on January 13 1958 after a period of six months hospitalization A final report from the Veterans Administration Hospital signed by Doctor M. Shapiro describes their findings of multiple positive spaturn cultures for photochromogenic Mycobacteria Mr. Riley was treated during hospitalization with NH 300 mg daily and Pyrazinamide 3 gms daily
Mr. Riley was next examined in this office on January 20 1958 at which
time be stated that he felt fairly well on limited activity but tized very
easily He had had a recent respiratory infection which was improving
He continued to have exertional dyspnea mild cough and unimal expecta
ration of white sputum He stated that during hospitalization Pyraz~-na-
made had produced considerable nausea and heart burn On physical
examination his weight was 122 pounds a gaan of 3 pounds temperature
98.4 degrees pulse 88 per minute and respiration 24 per minute Blood
pressure was 116/70 Examination of the cheat revealed slight lag over
the right upper posterior chest Lungs were hyperresonant over the
upper lobes with slight decrease in resonance at the bases were somewhat bronchial in the lung bases and criep crackle

examination was normal On luoroscopy a denak was again noted ^^ the right apex and apex and increased markinju were seen in the lung bases The diaphragma movad 4 cm and equally The diaphragmatie contour appeared fat in the lateral projection and the right ventricle was slightly prominent
At this time Mr. Riley was advised to discontinue Pyrazinamide in view of the unfavorable symptoms while on this drug It was recommended that he start Dihydrastreptomycin injections 1 gm twice weekly and continue INH 300 mg daily
Mr. Riley was again seen February 26 1958 May 16 1958 January 15 1959 and February 19 1959. These examinations revealed only minimal changes in Mr. Riley's clinical status until February 19 1959 as which time chest fluoroscopy revealed the presence of a roughly round density in the right lung base just above the coatophrenic angle Further ray studies were planned at that time and are described in the attached ray reports You will also find enclosed the summary of laboratory data obtained since our last written report of September 19 1957. You will note that the gastric lavage of January 29 1958 yielded a positive culture of photochromogenic acid bacilli but that the specimens of April 17 1958 and January 30 1959 were beganve In addition the ray report of January 16 1959 describes the occurrence of a new density at the right base which appeared to have increased slightly on the films of February 19 1959. It is also noteworthy that pulmonary function has deteriorated somewhat compared with the studies performed in the U.S.C. respiratory Laboratory by Doctor Hurley L. Motley on July 8 1957 On January l^ 1959 we found the vital capacity to be 73 of normal umed vital capacity 70 of normal and the maximal breathing capacity significantly reduced to 61 of normal
Our diagnoses remain 1 Pulmonary fibrosis exhibiting the characteristic
features of asbestosis with probable associated effects from the inhalation
of silica magnesium fiberglass foam glass rock wool and diatomaceous
earth 2 Pulmonary emphysema of mid to moderate severity secondary
to pulmonary ^...brosis 3
Pulmonary inflammatory disease involving
the apex and apex of the right lung due to a photochromogenic acid
bacillus which has been designated Mycobacterium kansii A significant
new development has occurred revealed by serial ray films to be a
new denaity in the right lung base The etiologic nature of this change
remains obscure however certain possibilities are to be considered
Among these are a Superimposition of fibrotic lesions due to
coniosis resulting from the inhalation of asbestos fibers etc
accumulations of fibrous masue often occur in progressive
periphery of the lungs and particularly beneath the pleura

membrane of the lungs b It is also possible that this new density
represents a spread of the infection which has been present in the right
of apex
1959
The negative bacteriologic studies of April 17 1958 ami January 30 speak against this explanation however however in the present an
infection as indolent as this one has been those two negative resulta azo
inconclusive and do not entirely exclude this possibility c is
lung theoretically possible that a complicating unrelated infection in the
could account for the new density seen on recent films however tha
absence of obvious signs of sepsis such as fever increased cough purulent
sputum and debility are strong points against this possibility d The most
serious possibility to be considered is that of lung cancer It has been |
pneumo- established that lung cancer is a not uncommon complication of
cooloals due to asbestos inhalation It has been reported that carcinoma-
tous nodules occur in those portions of the lung most affected by the pneumocomosis This would be consistent with the location of this new
density seen on Mr. Riley's latest Elms It is also recognized that lung
cancer is a specific industrial hazard of asbestos workers2. Therefore
because of the occurrence of a new density on Mr. Riley's recent cheat
possibility films the area where the pneumocomiosis is most dense the
of lung cancer compels serious consideration and studies to establish

exposed for approximately 35 years to heat insu-
lating materials the details of which were fully discussed in our report
of September 19 1957 Asbestos dust was frequently encountered during this exposure There was no other history of toxide dust exposure The
ray films show pulmonary fibrosis of a pattern which is more suggestive of asbestosis than any other entity Asbestos bodies have been recovered
from the aputura
Regarding the question of exposure the original classical descriptions of
pneumoconiosis due to the inhalation of asbestos particles refer to those
individuals who were employed in the manufacturing plants Thus the
classical descriptions are based on episodes of pure exposure However
asbestosis has also been described among persons employed in the insulation
industry one such case involved an exposure of only five years duration
by an individual whose work consisted of covering pipes with asbestos
insulation the dust hazard in that instance being produced by sawing and
fiching the covering.3 The similarity to Mr. Ruley's case is striking

Mr. Riley reports that an independent medical examiner has
a lung biopsy There are
recommend '
several considerations If a lung biopay is to be done it should be
lavolved in this proposre
dune an area of maximal lung
involvement La the lower portions of the lungs It should be dose on the
right sido since it is possible that Mr. Riley may later
surgery on that side and it would be unwise to jeopardizeretqhueirsetaetxutseonfsitvhee
lesser involved laft lung unnecessarily In addition it
be
that if the right cheat is to be entered
may
desirable
the
of the
surgically the diseased portina of
apex
right lung should be removed On the other band if a
lung cancer is present in the lower portion of the right lung this would gready
modify any surgical considerations involving the right apex
recommended In view of all these considerations the following course is
Mr. Riley should have a right thoracotomy performed by a
thoracic surgeon If a carcinoma is
competent
the lower lobe
present in the right lower lung then
should be resected if surgically feasible leaving the upper
lobe undisturbed provide This would not only remove the rumor but also
adequate tissue for diagnostic study to establish the
presence or absence
of pneumoconiosis If a right thoracotomy reveals the absence of
in the lower portion of the lung
carcinoma
then the diseased portion of the upper lobe
could be resected and an adequate biopsy of the involved portion of the lower
lung field could be obtained simultaneously for tissue study for pneumo
coniosis
.
therapeutically The performance of a simple lung biopay without removing other diseased
Hlasue is not recommended since this would
and
accomplish nothing
represents an unnecessary and potentially hazardous surgical procedure
designed to prove a situation which is already clinically obvious
Our immediate recommendations for malignant tumor cells and
are
that Mr.
Riley have sputum studies
planigrams of the right lung base to better
define the nature and characteristics of the
new density described in the
attached ray reporta He should continue to
Isoniazid in the
receive Streptomycin and
present dosage schedule and should not exceed his
level of restricted
present
activity He is totally disabled for the performance of
any work at this turne

Specimen representing sal segmental resection of lower lobe of
right lung consists of portion of lobe of lung wilghing approximately aproximately
95 271109
The visceral pleura for the most part is smooch and
glistening However in one location the visceral pleura is somewhat
depressed thickened by white or pale pink upaque tissu this zonu
measuring 2.2 1.8 um in maximal surface ditension Henwath the
thickened plour and extendi Into the basul segomut dceply is a
poorly fined cor measuring 4.4 3.5 x 3.2 cm in overall maxlual
dizension the rumor benracterized
benracterized grossly by firm white ut
faintly Brgy glistening tissue with chalky streaks with variantu amount
of anthracatil pigmentation and with fuel of cystic necrosis
Two
blocks of this tumor were taken for frozen section purpose
Frozen section
diagnosin reported as large cell undifferentiated carcinoma with possibility
of spinale cell variant of sarcoma or phenoconiosia in association with
carcinoms
The small amount of pulmonary parenchyme surrounding the clamor
grossly appears to be involved by inflammatory process with perhaps
mild dilatation of smaller branches of the basal segmental bronchi
The second specimen consists of the remainder of the lover lobe of right
lung together with visceral pleura is
lobar bronchus the specimen partially smouth glistening
weighing 170 grams
and monthickened and
The

possibly representing small anvent of residual tumor
Elsewhere in this
emphysematous right lower lobe there is rather extensive pulmonary emphysematemophysuematsous alteratio
umpilysematous most conspicuous in a subpleural location where the
umpilysematous blebs
measure up to 5 m in imal dimension

Riley
Conference 7/27/59
Gentlemen
On 7/13/59 right lower lobe lobectomy and a subsegmental resection of the right
upper lobe was carried out at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan Copy of the operative report is included His postoperative course was uneventful however he needed to have a pneumoperitoneum established to push up the right diaphragm
which was carried out successfully on two occasions during the postoperative
course and which gave adequate expansion of the right lung to fill the night
pleural space and permitted his discharge from the hospital on 7/21/59
He was examined in our office on 7/29/59 The wound is healing well The breath sounds came through quite well on the right side There were good breath sounds on the left side ray showed the right lung expanded with a pleural shadow at the right base We were pleased with his early course
At surgery we found the shadow of the right lower lobe which was of increased density to be that of a localized squamous cell bronchogenic carcinoma R was for this reason that the entire night lower lobe was resected along with
the lymph nodes instead of the previously anticipated localized resection er biopsy purposes With the right lower lobe lobectomy a subsegmental resection of the most serious appearing lesions in the right upper lobe was permitted This
is a most unusual situation because it could not be diagnosed with certainty that
a tumor was present in the right lower lobe coniosis and fibrosis of the lung as shown
because of the extensive pneumoon the ray film The fact that this
one area appeared more cense than the others and seemed to be increasing over the months and the fact that it could pe palpated readily when the chest was
opened lead us to the surgical procedure outlined above Certainly the findings in this case are unusual yet the undersigned believes that this type of surgical
procecure and surgical permission is important for a simple lung biopsy in this case undoubtedly would have lead to a second operation with added risk and
possible complications

Re James Whitcomb Riley
page 2-
The pathological report has been made by Doctor Raymond Bangle Jr. M.D. of the Hospital of the Good Samaritan Although he is having further studies -
mace on the pathological material in an extremely detailed spaced typewritten report he gives the following conclusion
six paged single
1 active pneumo-
conicsis principle etiologic component veing asbestosis pneumoconiosis
with features resembling diatomaceous earth Further studies have been ordered
by Doctor Bangle to more completely elucidate the irritating substanceS
responsible for the pneumoconiosis although the above diagnoses have been
definitely made 2 Associated mild bronchiectasis and broncholitis
3 Associated localized epidermoid carcinoma 4 Pulmonary emphysema and finally various pulmonary arterial vascular changes
Thus the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis has been substantiated by the pathological report with asbestosis and diatomaceous earth as important irritating substances This process diffusely involves the right lung and from the ray findings the left lung as well The industrial nature of this disease seems to be clearly
forthcoming proven although more detailed reports from Doctor Bangle will be
This is a most unusual case but one we believe that has been handled well
from the point of view of making the industrial diagnosis and at the same time
for having the best possible operation for the patient There is the strong
conviction of the writer that this should be the aim of all industrial surgery

Re James Whitcomb Riley vs. Plant Insulation at al I.A.C. Claim No. ST~,,A 182-835
Dear Sirs
Reference la made to the letter from the law firm of
Herlihy & Herling dated September 5 1958 requesting a formal Order of Dismissal as to Pacific Indemnity Company from this case on the grounds that they were not the
Workman's Compensation insurance carrier for the Plant
J Insulation &?
to June 30 1951
Insulation Company from May 9 1951 and from June 30 1951 to January 1
1952
It would now appear that Pacific Employers Insurance Company in the Workman's Compensation insurance carrier for that company during that period of time and coverage has been admitted on behalf of Pacific Employers Insurance Company
We therefore withdraw our objection filed by October 24 1958 to the dismissal of Pacific
Company and agree that they may be dismissed
letter of
Indemnity

action

The previously noted bilateral basal diffuse linsar fibrotic densidas
are again demonstrated A new density is present at the right ba a
where there is localized exaggeration of the fibrote markings just above
the right costophrenic angle and with apparent diaphragmatic adhesion in
this area This is moderately defined and quite distinct from the
remainder of the surrounding lung tissue Allowing for the slight difference
in ray technique one gets the impression that there may have been also

a slight increase in the more diffuse fibrotic density in both lung bases

Conclusion 1 Bilateral predominantly basal diffuse linear pulmonary fibrosis which may have progressed in the interval since 5/16/58 2 New localized density just above the right costophrenic angle which may represent local confluence of fibrotic lesions in this area or some other complicating feature such as a spread of inflammatory

Dear Sirs

Enclosed find the 1959
for filing as defendants
medical report of Jhn Jhn H.
exhibit next in order please
Urabec M.D. dated April 26
At this time the defendants rely upon this medical report and pursuant thereto will authorize the appointment of another Independent medical examiner to perform the lung biopsy or in alternative will appoint a doctor on their own to perform the mentioned surgery
the afore-
If neither of these alternatives meets with the approval of the
Industrial Accident Commission or applicant the defendants
fully request that this matter be set down for the
respect-
purpose of cross-
examining the independent medical examiner Dr. Brewer
As an alternative thought the defendants inquire of applicant's
counsel at this time if applicant would be willing to undergo the
operative procedure as recommended by Dr. Brewer and will before
the said operative procedure sign a waiver of liability and respon-
sibility sibility insofar as the defendants are concerned as to the

should
the

negative With the signing of such a waiver defendants might in
the alternative authorize the lung biopsy and aforementioned
procedure as recommended by Dr. Brewer

Los Angeles 14 California
Dear Sir
Re RILEY James Whitcomb vs. Manville et LA 182-835
have read and considered the most recent letter of Dr. Brewer dated
April 16 1959 in which he assumes that the pulmonary fibrosis in this
instance is due to his asbestosia by virtue of exposure to this substance
As I intimated in my report of February 14 1958 there was some question
in my mind as to whether this patient had a true pulmonary asbestosis
therefore I requested the confirmation of such a diagnosis by a lung
biopsy
I still think this procedure is indicated for the establishment of
a definite diagnosis but I also think that this should be the only procedure performed Dr. Brewer would also like to perform a resection of the
cystic disease in the lungs I do not believe that this procedure is warranted as there is no proof that this patient's cystic disease is in any way related to hus occupation Furthermore additional surgery would increase the
surgical risk Since Dr. Brewer has been the Independent Medical Examiner I would suggest that another disinterested thoracic surgeon perform the
lung biopsy I would like
Jones group
to suggest one of
the surgeons in Dr.
John C.
In answer to your questions of your letter of March 30 1959 let me try to answer them in order 1. It is not necessary to remove the cystic condition at the time the lung biopsy 2. This cyane lung condition could be due to number of different causes and is most likely not related to any industrial injury A cystic lung condition can be congenital or acquired 3. The removal of the cysuc portions of the lung would definitely add to the seriousness of the
surgical risk and could if any post operative complications arise cause
permanent impairment of lung function 4. The finding of a photochromogenic acid fast bacillus in the cultures does not affect this alleged industrial injury
There is some question as to the infectiousness of this type of pulmonary
injection which is not unlike the infection produced by the human tubercle
becilius To date there has been no industrial relationship of this disease
As matter of fact I believe that the State Health Department does not
consider this disease infectious as yet
5. do not quite understand this
White Re
James

Riley
we.
can be question If by the test the lung biopsy is meant I would say that this procedur
will help us in establishing a definite diagnosis If the asbestosis
disclaimed then this individual in all likelihood has no claim for compensation
6. The lung biopsy can be performed without the
concomitant removal of the
lung cyst to establish a diagnosis do not know of any other method which would be more definite in attempting to determine the diagnosis and
consequently the industrial causation
hope I have been of some help in answering your questions If any other
thoughts come to your mind please be free to call me by phone
Vary sincerely yours

This is the second request concerning the propriety of the surgery on the above patient We refer you to letter of March 3 1959 in which we stated that
we believed it was poor medicine to go ahead and do a thoracotomy for a lung biopsy when a diseased portion of the lung which was a potential hazard to the patient would be left behind The pauent does have a pulmonary fibrosis which is compatible with asbestosis and since he has had an exposure to this dust it is reasonable to consider this case as industrial in origin However since the diagnosis can be made only with certainty by lung biopsy the patient was originally referred to this office for such a procedure We believe that if the lung biopsy is justifiable as an industrial operation then removal of the concomitant diseased part of the lung should be so considered and this phase
. of the surgery could be carried out at the same time and under the same
auspices Thus it is reasonable to consider bath phases of the surgery as
Industrial
It then is our considered opinion on this case and we hope this answers
your question

Re James Whitcomb Riley
No 57 LA 182-835
Dear Doctor Beddoe
Conference 10/6/58
On September 25 1958 you have requested a supplemental report on the above
10
patient as a result of our examination of August 20th 1958. We have been
asked to note Referee G. A. Martinelli's memo dated July 14 1958
I refer you to paragraph 2 and 3 on page 3 of our report of 8/15/58 In that it
is stated that the patient does have pulmonary fibrosis The cause of this
IE
pulmonary fibrosis is not definitely knowy Although asbestosis is a possibility
yet in our opinion the exposure has not been well enough documented to prove
that asbestosis is the cause of the fibrosis Therefore it was our recommendation
that a lung biopsy be carried out to make certain of the diagnosis in this case
Since the diagnosis is in question one cannot answer categorically Question #
Is the patient suffering from asbestosis or any similar type of disease Thus the whole case is in our opinion unproven and needs the lung biopsy for final
diagnosis There is no question that this patient is incapacitated The amount of
11
incapacitation of course depends upon the functional tests which apparently he
had at Doctor Motley's Laboratory at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan the
report of which we have not found But before elaborate grading of the disability
be made definite proof should be obtained that this is in truth asbestosis or
silleosis of industrial origin
We hope this makes our position clear
let us know
If there are my further questions kindly

Re James Whitcomb Riley
Claim No 57 LA 182-835
Conference 8/15/58
The above patient was examined in our office on 8/8/58 at your request and the
findings reviewed at our regular conference The patient states his chief complaint
-
is that of tiring easily being short of breath and unable to carry out his accustomed
work The pauent belleved himself well until 1953 when dyspnea was first noticed
and has slowly progressed since that time This was followed by cough and
expectoration of several grams of sputum dally In January 1957 accentuation of
the above symptoms occurred with about a ten pound weight loss He worked until
May 15th 1957 when the cough became very severe with weakness and easy fatigue prevented his carrying out his customary activities June 10th and 21st 1957 Doctor Morris Shift discovered tubercle bacilli in the sputum rays were reported as showing active pulmonary tuberculosis He was treated at the Long Beach
Veterans Hospital from July 10th 1957 to January 13th 1958. Extensive laboratory
studies at this institution revealed this was a photochromogenic type of acid fast
bacilli which is not the usual type and considered noncontagious although it produces
pulmonary disease He was treated with isonicotinic hydrazid and pyrazinamid at the VA Hospital and since then has been under the care of Doctor John Shirey who has continued him on the isonicotonic hydrazid streptomycin twice a week He
complains now of shortness of breath upon walking one to three blocks or climbing one flight of stairs The cough has decreased and he has gained back some weight weighing 118 pounds his lowest was 110 pounds and the average weight is around
14 pounds
Past medical history He has
no injuries or major surgery of the present tilness
had mumps and measles scarlet fever in childhood He considered himself perfectly well until the onset
Family history His father died at 73 of heart disease his mother of unknown
causes at the same age Three siblings are living and well three children are living and well No family history of tuberculosis no exposure to tuberculosis no rustory of neoplasm or other familial disews5
Occupational history He has been employed in installation work since 1920.

glasa coarse cork and various blocks including Detrick Mono and Kalo preparations He stated it was frequently necessary to cut the blocks or pieces of the various
substances which raised a dust which was particularly haevy when ha worked in \
closed rooms The dust concentration was very high at times and at which times he did wear a protective mask although this was not generally used
He worked for some 18 different companies or more during this period of time The
names and dates and working conditions have been carefully recorded on the voluminou
records of the Industrial Accident Commission and will not be repeated here However the patient particularly felt that he was exposed to Ramiculite mica powder for
seven months in Carlsbad working for the Popman Morgan Company and also seven months at Redondo Beach working for the J. P. Thorpe Company prior to his cessation of work He felt the dust exposures were particularly high during that period of ume
during his time of employment with those companies He further stated that dry
pumice was used in some of the packing and Insulating operations
Loe
History by systems Except for the cardiorespiratory revealed no complaints bearing
on this case
Physical examination revealed a fairly well developed thin 58 year old male in no acute distress Temperature 98.6 pulse 88 respirations 20 blood pressure 130/80 weight 118 pounds Head and neck No positive findings no nodes were felt either anterior or posterior cervical regions Chest Slight increase in the posterior diameter respirations fairly deep and equal Breath sounds were vesicular in type diminished Transient rales were heard on coughing at the bases posteriorly Heart is not enlarged rhythm regular no murmurs Abdomen No masses
nor organs felt Extremities no edema reflexes active no sensory changes
Fluoroscopy of the chest showed the diaphragms moved well equally about 4 cm some Unear fibrosis over the lower half of both lung fields As the right apex
considerable fibrosis was present Cavitation could not be made out definitely but was suspected Heart was not enlarged aorta and pulmonary conus were willin normal limits
Review of the rays February 1958 showed moderately advanced pulmonary fibrosis most prominent at the bases bilaterally In addition there is a fibrotic infiltration at the right apex and subapical area which shows some rarefaction Recent films show
no essential change Laboratory data No new laboratory tests were ordereodn this
pauent because there is ample documentation on the reports made available to the
undersigned by the industrial Accident Commission The most significant findings are 1 the finding of the photochromogenic acid fast bacilll and 2 is definitely stated that on at least one occasion asbestos fibers had been found in the sputum by Doctor Richard Smith Laboratory However the patient stated he had careful

Good Samaritan July 8th 1958 and this report was not found by the undersigned
with the Industrial Accident Commission's record The main quastion posed by
form this patient of course is whether or not he has asbestosta or some other
of industrial pulmonary fibrosis
In support of the asbestosis diagnosis we have exposure to asbestos dust over
this long period of ume However the exact concentration of these dust particles
are not known and the clinical disease is more commonly reported in patients who have fabricated the products rather than those who apply them No careful
documentation of the exact concentration in the air during these periods of time of
asbestos dust has been recorded The finding of asbestos fibers in the sputum
points to exposure but does not definately make the diagnosis Actually it is well
known that the fibers have to be over 10 microns in length in order to cause a
characteristic plugging of the bronchioles which results in the clinical disease of
.
in asbestosis The size of the fibers
the sputum raport has not been given The
bas~-larinfiltration of the lung fields is in support of asbestosis which shows a
predeliction for these areas One would have to discount the apical infiltration on the right which is presumably caused by the photochromogenic acid fast infection
This seems to be a superimposed infection on the pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema that is present Other industrial unitating dusts have been amply documented in this
record including silica magnesium foam and fiber glass and rock wool However the characteristic butterfly and hilar infiltrations of silicosis is not seen on the ray
The pauent has a prolonged exposure history to these dusts of at least 15 years
Exposure over a period of least 15 years is usually considered necessary for asbestosis unless the concentrations are exceedingly high which apparently has not been constantly true in this case The diagnosis in this case certainly is pulmonary fibrosis with secondary emphysema Photochromogenic acid fast infection of the
lung involving the right apex is a secondary diagnosis
At the present ume the patient's disability does not seem to be caused by the photochromogenic acid fast pulmonary disease which has been well treated and seems to be under control Our opinion is that it is due to the pulmonary fibrosis This pulmonary fibrosis is entirely compauble with the aspiration of asbestos fibers and the other aforementioned dusts Certainly no one can rule out on the evidence that is available that these imitating dusts have not caused the basal pulmonary fibrosis and secondary emphysema In fact it is agreed by all the medical examiners to be present The certain method of proving this however would be by a lung biopsy Since the photochromogenic acid fast infection is apparently under control we believe the situation is different from that reported in September 1957 by Doctor Shirey who felt there was an undue risk to such a blopsy In our experience
patient's case we feel the risk to be small indeed In fact this is our recommendation which would support the diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis secondary to asbestos

these were all right He was also given some vitamins This study has done over a day's time Following this he noticed some alight increase in shortness of breath and the cough was fairly persistent though not frequent In January 1957 he noticed weight loss to about 110 lbs The

go to a sanatorium and he was sent to the Long Beach Veterans Hospital
on July 10 1957. The admission diagnosis was that of a tuberculosia
however later studies showed that the organime obtained on sputum
examination were photochromagenic fast organismas He was kept at
the Long Beach Veterans Hospital for six months and was discharged on
January 13 1958. During his hospital stay he was on Pyrizinamide and
INH After his discharge from the hospital he returned to the care of
Dr. Shirey who placed him on Streptomycin and INH To date he has had
about aight Streptomycin shota at intervals apparently of one graa
twice week He receives this injection from one of the nurses of the
Visiting Nurses Association

J. T. Therpe Company between September 1956 and April 1957 at Radlands
and San Bernardino insulating a steam plant Asbestos and high tempera
ture blocks were used Diatomaceous earth was apparently present in the
latter blocks The dust in the working environment apparently was pre-
cipitated by their pounding on the blocks On bis last job be stated
that he coughed as though he had whooping cough After he had been off
this work for three months the cough completaly subsided He stated
that at one tina apatua examinations showed the presence of asbestos
fibers He stated also that blopay of the lung had been planned but
when the asbestos fibers were found in the sputum no biopsy was performed
He stated that his cough ceased about August 1957. His cough was almay~-
relatively unproductive At one time he raised & small glob of blood in
the sputum He la still dyspnsic at the present time but he has improved
moderataly He has some chest pain There is an occasional feeling of
rawness in the central substernal area Four months ago ha had some pain
over the left precordial area not too severe in character He dried any

This patient has a pulmonary infection which bacterialogically is that of the photochranogare acid bacilli Whether this is a true
tuberculosis infection or rather one of its varianta is not known To
the best of my knowledge up to the present time this reputedly infectious disease is not considered infectious by the State Health Department and in contrast to tuberculosis which is a quarantinable disease in this State thia variant with the photochromogenic fast organisms is not Another question in this case is the possibility of an asbestosis in vies of the patient's prolonged years of work in an environment where asbestos

was used I do not know how one could prove or disprove this type of
infection on the basis of the information available to date I notice
that in the report of Dr. Shirey & aputum study done approximately a month after the patient stopped working showed evidence of fibera
which were interpreted as being asbestos fibers It must be remembered
that the presence of Labestos fibers or asbestowsbodies in the
sputum does not necessarily indicate the presence of an asbestosis in the
In this instance the fibrotic disease in present in the right apex at both bases The basilar type of location would favor
lungs
and
possible asbestosia but again does not prove ita presence by virtue of its loca-
tion Dr. Miller notes that because the patient did not have the typical ground glass appearance of asbestosis that this diagnosis was unlikely The called ground glass appearance does not necessarily have to be present and is not always seen in these cases One thing that is important in the development of this disease is that the indi-
viduals usually have to have fairly intense exposure to asbestos dust and over a mocarataly long period of time certainly more than five and closer to ten years In this instance the patient's work was very sporadic and I question whether the patient's working conditions meet the criteria of such prolonged and concentrated exposure However again such intansive concentration over many years has not almays been noted in cases that have developed clinical asbestosia I do not
believe that the finding of asbestoms in the sputum precludes a diagnosis of asbestosis of the lungs I think in this case it would
be extremely important and the

in this case such a biopsy is

After the study of the diseased tissue by possibly one industrial pathologists a final diagnosis may be

and
at the request of Mr. James W. 1957 with regard to his pulma-
findings were obtained
Residence history October 23 1899. He has
Mr. Rlley was born in Joplin Missouri on lived in the Los Angeles area since 1903 with
Fresno the following exceptions In 1918 he was briefly in Quantico Virginia
From 1936 to 1942 be lived in San Francisco in 1947 he was in California for two months In 1952 he worked in Daina Indiana for six
months In 1955 be was in Santa Maria California for four months and
in Las Vegas Nevada for four months In 1956 his work required a seven month stay in San Diego California
Occupational history Since 1919 Mr. Riley has been employed in
the heat insulation industry his work requiring the application of insulating
materials to bollers steam pipes and other structures requiring insulation The insulating materials which he has worked with include asbestos block
Detrick block Kalo rockwool fiber glass cork and Mono block He
believes he may also have worked with diatomaceous earth occasionally as a loose powder to be applied against boilers la provide a porous material which will allow for expansion and contraction of the boiler due to tem
perature changes The other materials mentioned above are supplied in
various forms such as often it was necessary
blocks cored cylinders sheets and blankets to cut the blocks or sheets using a band saw It
Vezy
was
also necessary to hammer nails through this material to secure it in its
proper location boiler rooms a
Since this work was often done in confined spaces such as
high dual concentration was frequently attained in poorly

Mr. William T. Haya Re James Whitcomb Rillay

agressive therapy such as intermittent positiva pressure breathing and steroid medication may be necessary provided the inflammatory disease is under sufficient control to permut such therapy
Relationship of patient's condition to employment Mr. Riley's occupation for the last 35 years has been confined to the application of heat insulation materials There has been no other source of industrial dust exposura The ray films show pulmonary fibrosis of a pattern which is more suggestive of asbestosis than any other single entity Asbestos bodies
bave been recovered from the sputum There is no clinical evidence of
bronchiectasis nor of chromic passive congestion of the lungs due to left ventricular failure In my opinion Mr. Riley has pulmonary fibrosis of occupational origin The presence of pulmonary Ubrosis may have been a significant factor in the development of pulmonary inflammatory disease and its subsequeal cours4
If I may amplify or clarify any of the preceding statements
be my privilege to do so

Fibrotic disease is seen in the right apex with air-
filled spaces which could be either cavities or blabs
Bilaterally both lower lung fields are honeycombed with
infilmate of lesions No previous films are avail-
able for comparison The etiology of the upper lung
fields is probably pulmonary tuberculosis which would
suggest that in the lower lung fields the infiltrate is
probably due to the case discase

CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS It is true that severe pulmonary disability may be pro-
duced with far advanced asbestosis but relatively few of the people
exposed to the fiber develop the disease The word asbestos is used

ably free from the intense radicular pain at home This nerve root pain was caused
from vertebra collapse His course in the hospital was rapidly dewahill although I
proved possible to keep him fairly comfortable He expired on January 24 1961 at

Re James W, Riley
R. G. Richards M. D. the Pathologist of the Palm Harbor Hospital performed s
post mortem examination on Mr. Riley and a copy of his report is enclosed
I would appreciate it very much if you could have copy of the post mortem examination
report made and send to Dr. J. K. Shirey who is interested along with Dr. Brewer in
.
this case Also if it is not too much trouble perhape you would be willing to send Dr.
Shirey copies of the earlier
in this c110
reports I have
made to you
He has
a keen medical interest
:
.
A copy of the Certificate of Death is also enclosed This was made before the microscopic microscopic
report of the autopsy material had corne in but would not have changed my general coa-
clusion
ow. ae
If there is any more information I may be able to give you will try to do sQ
Sincerely Yours

Conference 2/28/59
lung Since our previous reports some months
Planograms were made
ago we have further studied Mr. Riley
as an outpatient at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan of
both apices The right upper lobe of the lung has shrunken and
contains many cystic changes compatible with
contracted and
It is destroyed is a potential
cysuc cavitation of this lobe
source of nemorrhage infection and spread of
disease In our previous communication to be well healed as it does not
we had considered this part of the
lung
appear sinister on the plain ray of the chest
However the body section type of film alluded to above
slices
as it were
actually makes ray of the parts of the lung and reveals much more of course
than
the plain film can ever possibly snow With this new
ation is changed on the above
information our recommand-
patient We believe it would be unwise and
medicine to attempt a lung biopsy of the right lung for asbestosis
poor
of this lesion Therefore in answer to
in the presence
your question # February 6th is the
proposed surgery for removal of cystic condition of the upper lobe of the
necessary before the lung biopsy can be performed Our answer is that it is
necessary as a concomitant procedure To perform a lung biopsy and leave this in
is only to invite trouble as a postoperative complication However it can be done
as a simultaneous procedure with the lung blopsy We would not suggest the removal
of this diseased portion of the lung to be followed by a second
biopsy which would certainly double the
operation for lung
risk because of two operative procedures
applicant's In answer to question # This cystic condition is certainly related to the
claime, Industrial injury for exposure to the dust claimed by the applicant should
predispose to the infection with the photochromogenic acid fast pulmonary disease
Actually we have learned from Doctor Shary who has been treating this patient for
the above infection that he has had only one negative sputum in the
he has planted some cultures and
past year and
guinea pigs last month These studies will not
be ready until next month and we do not believe any plan for lung blopsy or
concomitant upper lobe resection be made until the results of this new test are
available If the cyst removal should be performed at the time of the
which we believe is the correct
biopsy
thing to do it would add to the cost of the lung
biopsy just how much more would depend upon the additional time involved In
the long run however this would result in a saving for all concerned
the szuation as we see it
This presents
now adequataly learn the results of the new tests now in
We shall report to of
you further whan we
