Subject
Mr. Viedt.
For Attention of
Answering Memo. of
ORGANIZATION.
I did not intend to express an impression of undue optimism
in my memo. to you of the 14th. The unpleasant situation that has developed
in the Application Plant has probably not been croated through the work of the
Life Extension Institute. This, however, combined with our own knowledge,
comments by Dr. Graham-Rogers of the New York State Department of Health,
supported by Mr. Singmaster's wide experience, and Dr. Drinker's initial
reaction have practically convinced me that there is no material basis for
trouble.
Therefore we can proceed to organize without any hesitation whatever
on our part.
On the other hand, the psychòlogical and hysterical situation
cannot be ignored and probably offers greater difficulties than a strict
scientific research.
On the basis of the information we have so far in my opinion the
most important action is to see Barry and perhaps others who have been making
statements without knowledge and find out what the purpose is.
Second, we should e reate an atmosphere in the Plant of
competence. This can be best brought about by those who know, i. e. yourself,
Bilstein, Doc Leman, etc.
An atmosphere of confidence is just as contagious
as one of alarm and doubt.
Third, we will proceed with Dr. Drinker and I hope he will arrive
early in April. He has had wide experience and will probably analyze and help
to correct the hysterical situation either by reports or perhaps personal visits
to the dentists who have jumped at conclusions apparently without thought or
knowledge.
Fourth, I have to-day written to Dr. Graham-Rogers for a list of
the causes that might bring about the si tuation that we have.
Fifth, we of course want to take all other steps that we believe
will be helpful and in this group undoubtedly your suggestion of the 18th to
have some X-rays made of the new operators is good.
Unless you know some one else to do this, perhaps you could make
arrangements with Dr. F. C. Bunn whose office is the corner of William and
Hillyer Street, Orange. He has complete X-ray facilities and will probably
make reasonable terms if you explain the situation.
Yours truly,
- A. Roeder - -
