mitton by Dr. Fredeziok Le Hoffran to the United States
Radiun Corporation, requesting that the corporation do some-
thing in hehalr of Misa Fryor who 1a the complainant in this
bill of complaint, the corporation weote to Dr. which
letter I have seen and copited to the following effect:
"Wo certainly sympathize with the young lady whose
condition you decoribe, but are somewhat at a loss to know
just what to says sinoo under present condition it 18 rather
dangazous to take a position which mightbe minunderstood
or tend to establish a precedant. So fax as our information
goos, scientirio investigation to date does not prove that
redio-sotivity has been the cause of noma or the conditions
componly attributed to it.
IS you deen it worth while, we would be vory glad to
have Dr. Frederiok Ba Flinn, Assistant Professor of Physi-
ology in Industrial Hygione, Gollega of Physicians and
Burgoons, Columbia Univorsity, 437 West 59th Street, New
York City, saa the partiquiar patient whom you mention.
No doubt you are that Dr. has done a great
deala of work in connection with the question of radium
polsoing and, conneguently, should ba in a position to
rondor valuable assistence in the trentment of this case,"
Subsequently an article was published by this Dr. Flinn
to in this lester in whioh upon purely nogativo
evidence and without reforence to the literature other than
to the Drinica: article, which it purported to enewox, Dr.
Flinn arrivod at the conolusion *that an industrial hazard
doos not exist in the painting of luminous From my
experienco in this mattor in behalf of the Consumor's League,
I know that the proper acientifie knowlodge as to the proper-
ties of substances is limited to e vory few
people, whith renders proper investigation in the mattor
exceddingly and the United State Radium Corpora-
tion has done everything it could to obsoure the issue and
Fonder propor rolier to its enployoes impossible.
Subsoribed and sworn to
before ma this 16 day
or July, 1987.
