565 Central Avenuo, East Orange, N.J May 27th, 1981. Mr. R. Cross, Vice-President Radium Luminous Material Corp'n, Copies: 1r. Evarts, 58 Pine Street, lr. Shwab, Mr. Roeder. New York, H.Y. Dear Sir: In March and April moetings of the R.L.M. Board of Directors, writer called attention to the board that it is ossontial for the businoss to define clearly the management of the R.L.V. and dis- tribute and fix the responsibility of such. Tune to your insistence "to work as before" and que to your obstruction to clear up the management quostion, we went thru many diplomatic stunts to cloar up the situation until, at con- ference in Orange, between yourself and writer, Friday. May 20th, the writer suggested three working outlays for your consideration, one of which Mr. Roeder and writer considered as workable. The gross outlays wero as follows: 1. subdivision of duties and authorities on the Board of Managers principe. 2. entrusting Mr. Roeder with execution of genoral business matters and writer, as before, with ro- sponsibility for Mines and Plants on budget and pro- duction basis. 3. entrusting lir. Roeder as under * 2 and loaving to writer such activity as medical sales promotion, improvements on quality and quantity of production, reduction of mamfacturing cost on technical side, developing of new products and by-products and ex- pansion programs. Your answer was that you do not know enough of the details to decide but you do know that "something is wrong" because the Company does not make money as it should, and that the writer could not work with Mr. Roeder. At the conference held in your office May 25th, at 11:30 AM, you informed the writer that you spoke the matter over with other stockholders and you realize that it would be best to let Mr. Roe- der and writer go, but undor present decided to make Mr. Roeder general manager, and"of course you would like to preserve the writer for the future, in let us say advising chem- ist oapacity."
