Be this as it may, ray opinion, in view of the high quality of the work and the importance of establishing priority for its accom plishment, is that this work should be published as a factual description of the fate of the lead which is in the leaded fuel employed by automobiles.

Recently we issued a bulletin to all plant superintendents explaining what 318 line shading colors contain lead' and which colors could how be used in our lead-free formulas.

A number of the very high findings have been in the blood of children, for here some of the largest dosages of lead are taken within relatively short periods.

Faith several times made the statement that practical con verters of sufficient life capable of operating on leaded fuels would be available by the end of i960.

The items considered were, with the exception of the last, the same as mentioned to each of you and were as follows: On page 1 about half way down, a statement will be made that the total lead*liberated to the atmosphere will be the same with X-105A as with tetraethyl lead when gasolines are "doped" to the same lead level.

Public Health Service was not very enthusiastic about our standard for lead.

I amwondering when you are going to write a text book on lead intoxica tion that will bring us all up to date on the subject.

Public Health Service was not very enthusiastic about our standard for lead.

Questions ere coming in iron the i*os Angeles area on the ' ,,n contamination of the atmosphere with lead from the exhaust systems of automobiles, and it is certain that these will have to be answered eventually on the basis of our available data.

At the same time this is done, arrangements can be made to have lead analyses made in connection with your work.

At your convenience will you kindly carry out a lead partition study on these samples, advising me not only of the laboratory findings, but of more importance, your opinion re garding the relative hazard the presence of such rust and scale represents in a so called "lead free" tank.

I regret that I neglected ro'get a repeat examina tion on the blood and urine for lead

It would be utterly fantastic to attribute any appreciable hazard to this factor, in the face of the common ness of the occurrence of lead poisoning from the other cause.
