Siebert Kr* T* S* Rcgero-(Plea_j 2415 North Kingshighway St* Louie, Klssouri hare with Dr* Campbell) \ En route to St* Louis June 12, I stopped to see Dr* Enos at the OwensIllinois plant in Alton* Dr. Enos said that Dr. Siebert la re garded with considerable respect by member* of the nedleal pro 9 fession In the St. Louis tree, at indicated by his affiliation f with the medical school of Washington University and his positi j f\^c as consulting pathologist in five hospitals. Dr. Enos said tha although! It is well known that Dr. Siebert does not abhor the \ use of hard liquor, he is not regarded as an stlcoholic* 1 Dr. Enos* remarks confim other evidence, such as listings in ** siedieal directories, that Dr. Siebert is regarded as an authority in his field. He perform sooe seven hundred autopsies yearly and report,* his findings to the medieal practitioners, whose diagnoses are checked with the findings in the autopsy. Zn addi tion he spends five or six hours daily at a microscope diagnosing tissues sent to him for sectioning. From Kr. Bartley I learn that Dr. Siebert is regarded by organized labor and the insurance coopanies as an incorruptible witness whose professional testimony is not subject to influence by any consideration other than his scientific jud^ent* For us I believe it is extremely fortunate that Dr. Siebert has this kind of temperarant and professional attitude* Ris approach to the assignment given him by Kr. Bartley is to do a thorough, scientific job that will sake him an authority on the health aspects of Flberglas* ** * After registering at the Park Plata, I met Dr. Siebert in his labor* tcry at DePeul Hospital. In an adjoining room where he keeps blood plasma he shooed me the Flberglas samples that he had received from Newark. We returned to the Park Plaza, where we net Kr. Bartley for lunch. Afterward Kr. Bartley, Dr. Siebert and I went to Dr. Siebert* apartment in the St. Regis, where we discussed the pressed report for five hours. Result of the discussion is the appended outline of procedure which indicates the eccpe of the investigation upon which Dr* Siebert is launched. OWENS CORNING FIBERGLAS CORPORATION 1NTRA-COMPANY CORRESPONDENCE -- t gae M Ur. Boesehenstein Cavil Offices Toledo, Ofaio .2- June 16, 19U Frequently during the discussion Dr. Siebcrt sidetrseked himself on nirote points that seesed to fascinate hi as s scientist* For exa^le, while describing to l!r* Bartley* the investigation that be tarried on in Toledo and Newark on June 2 and 3, he told of examining scores of Newark employees* He was amazed to find, he said, that there were no eases of eye irritation in the plant. Non," he said, "X would like to knew why. As a pathologist Z would like to determine what happens to particles of Fiberglas that get into the eyes, as they certainly ust do. Hhen Z ask the employees in Newark whether they get any glass in their eyes, they tell me: 'Sure, now and then, but it don't bother me none** Undoubtedly it is because the blink reaction takes eare of it and washes it out of the eye. But I am concerned with what would happen to an employee whose .(link reaction sight be paralysed by a sear above the eye. Undoubtedly the skin irritation experienced on anas and wrists by new employees is to be esplained by the faet there are no mucosa on these parts of the body to wash away the fibers. But they all aay they get used to it. Again and again Z heard that phrase: 'Xt don't bother me none.'* Because it was obvious that Or. Siebert was outlining for himself a years-long program of research, Z offered the suggestion that be might use in his report some such statement as this: "Our best knowledge at present Indicates tliat the fibers have no deleterious effeet whatsoever on the eyes because the fibers are entirely aorw toxic end inorganic, end because of the fineness of their diameter they laek sufficient strength to penetrate the mueosa.* Z suggested . that in this connection he cite the work of Or. Boy Philip Sehols who is using Fiberglas for surgieal sutures and document the reference with a footnote, if he ehoee to do so, indicating that the whys and wherefores of this situation might open up a fruitful field of inquiry for a research student doing postgraduate work in seme swdieal sehool. To press home the point, Z suggested that a person Wilding a home wanted glass panes in his windows because they were transparent and kept the rain out* The homebuilder, X suggested, did not insist that the eontractor explain why the glass in the pane resisted water. That was a question for the glass technologist end the physicist to colors* Thus X tried to get across a pra^atic point of view, euggestlag that the union members would be satisfied with his finding that Fiberglas causes no eye irritation or severe dermatitis, and that if scientists want to know why, they can pursue their Inquiry elsewhere more appro priately. Ur. Bartley concurred in this point of view* OWENS-CORNING FIBERGLAS CORPORATION . INT1U-COMPANY CORRESPONDENCE ' 4 Ur. 8eeebenstein Crt Offices Toledo, Oblo 3- Au 26j 1941 Dr. Siebert t&ld he has received the biopsy from Dr. Ci^beH and is planning to sake a microscopic aeetion for examination. He alio ahoeed Hr. Bartley a piece of glees fiber that he has in his im thuofc. Ke said: *It don't bother as now, but it's there, and 1 teoe- exactly where and when I got it. I as going to Bake a biopey of it and put it under the mieroecope.* Consenting on Dr. Gardner's investigations, Dr. Siebert repeated to Ur. Bartley the statement he made to me in Toledo: *Zf these find ings had been aade ^ any man other than Gardner, Z would hate asked, 'Why did you not have this investigation Bade by Dr. Gardner?'I11 Even 90, Dr. Siebert added, he wanted very *ieh to talk with Dr. Gardner or at least have the opportunity to sake microscopic studies of all the slides aade by Dr. Gardner. (Through Ur. Staelin, arrangeBents have been aade with Dr. Gardner to send his slides to Dr. Siebert^ Dr. Siebert agreed that he would return to Dr. Gardner all of the elides and would furnish an affidavit to the affect that he had made no photomicrographs of any of thea unless Dr. Gardner gave hlnspecifle permission to do so. He suggested that It sight be of interest to Dr. Gardner to let hla know that he was a eolleagus at DePaul Hospital of Dr. Sdward C. Ernst, roentgenologist, who at one tic* was associated with Dr. Gardner In soae silicosis studies. Dr. Siebert pointed out what he described as an inconsistency in the second paragraph of Dr. Gardner's Interim Report of Hay 16, 1941: *e Mlacroacopie examination of their lung tissues has failed to demonstrate the presence of any fibres of glass. &&all quantities of very minute particles, whieh are pjebably glass splintered in the process erestiag the dust, have been observed within the lungs. Reaction to these particles is li&ited to microscopic collections of eslls which eould not conceivably influence pulmonary function. - I pointed out that the first sentence has to do with fibers. which are not present, ms differentiated from minute particles, which are exon erated from any conceivable influence on pulmonary function. Severtheless, pr. Siebert said, this differentiation offered one reason why he wished to examine the slides. Further, Dr. Siebert said, Dr* Gard ner's report implies that there is no health hatard because glass fibers axe too large to get into the lungs* This aesus^tion, based on else, he indicated, ie no longer warranted in the light of Imowledge that asbestos particles mich larger than the Flberglas particles do got OWENS * CORNING FIBERGLAS CORPORATION INTXACOKyAXY CORRZSPONDEWCE -- I r Br* Boeaehensttin Cbv1 Office. Toid, OfeJo -4- guns 16, 19U Into the lung*. *tfe seed to know,* he said, *what size glass fibers do *et in*" IPe know there ten be no silicosis hazard froa glssa fiber* because they contain no free silica, but we also taww that other Aists n be injuries and it ia still neeeaatr^to exonerate glass fiber dust." Dr. Siebert repeated that it is fortunate that Dr. Gardner ha* do this work, and he emphasized that he otn eeeept Gardner1# procedure and techniques* Re wishes only the opportunity to examine the slides and check Gardner1* interpretation* with his own. By hunch is that he looks forward to this opportunity to bring himself to the attention of Dr. Gardner. It may be necessary to bundle his into a plane later for a one-day eestion with Gardner' in Saranac. Dr* Siebert said he wants to talk to Gardner to inquire whether it. would be possible to take soae of,the gla*s~flber-4isted animals and subject then to tuberculosis. ^Te need to Imow," he suggested, *idietber exposure to glass wool dust--which say be entirely benign In and of itself--nevertheless predisposes an organism to tuberculosis.* He t^lained that normal, healthy guinea plge. Injected with tuberculosis gems, die in eight weeks. It would be very sisple for Dr. Gardner, Dr. Siebert suggested, to take several healthy guinea pigs as a control group, inject them with tuberculosis pres, do the same with glusfibtr-dusted guinea pip, and watch results. If the glasa-fiber-dusted animals died no sooner than the une^poeed animals, he said, it would be conclusive evidence that exposure to glass wool dust does not pre dispose an individual to pulmonary disorders. Dr. Siebert also mid he Is planning to create dusted atmospheres in the rocs adjoining his laboratory in DePaul Hospital. Be will do so with a steel tennis racket, beating saaplee of Flberglas with oeusted strokes on successive days, measuring the particles per cubic foot. Using himself as ths guinea pig, be will breaths the dust and hart hiaself examined by eye-ear-nose-end throat physicians *at the hospital to determine the effeet os the mucosa of hie throat and nasal passages. Be will repeat the e^periaente with the samples of eoapetltlve products (05f magnesia, rock wook, rock work, etc*5 sent to him froa Bewark. Z called his* attention to the fact that Flberglas Is a practically dietfree product and described the Purdue vibration tests which ahwed negligible settlement after prolonged, severe droning of a jig and extensive oscillations. Re requested a oepy of the Purine report (which is to be sent bf Hr. Bopn) and said this would be very significant. i fsn m r OWEN'S - CORNING FIBERGLAS CORPORATION INTRA-COMPANY CORRESPONDENCE Hr.
