R. L. M. C. INTERIOR MEMORANDUM
Date
Subject
For Attention of
Answering Memo. of
Cr
play a very important part in the make up of their blood
condition.Lack of fresh air proper food, exercise and home
conditions I believe would be considered a big factor.
Taken as a whole I am very much dissappointed in
Dr Drinkers findings. I note that a. good many O. his refer-
ences date back a number of years to a time When little
was really khown of the action or handling of radium. I
believe that as many references could be found which are
contradictory of thos mentioned by Dr Drinkert,
I do not see now we can stop with Dr Drinkers
reports, but that WE should consult fürther authorities
and posilbly submit his report to them for comment followhng
which it should be discussed further with him or Df possibe
get him to sit in discussion with other authorities on the
various points. There surely are some of experience at
the Memorial or even Dr Field who could readily comment
on Dr Drinkers findings.
We must have some definite mmatter to present to our
employees ana also to the State Department of Labor who
are following this matter very closely. In fact to of this
department called me on the phone to day and ex Dect to
visit the plant again to morrow to discuss this matter.
They may even communicate with Dr Drinker with
re crence to his findings in assmuch as we have told them
that we are having him conduct the investigation,
We shall endeavor to put into effect a number of
his recommendations,
The real solution will no doubt be found when
we have Dr Drinkers final report following the tests
on the animals, but as he has expressed himself in this
report as believing that employment in our plant has
brought about certain difficulties we must either
consider them so or refute them as I am quite sure
his findings will go further than ourselves.
Very truly yours
