would advise waiting until the investigation conducted by
Dr. Gilman Thompson and Dr. Field has made further progress.
The question is a serious one and may involve great risk
by your company and I think that we should have all of the
available information on the subject before attempting to
deal with it.
I note your statement that the State Department
of Health desires a copy of Dr. Drinker's report and also
note that you will refer them to me. This is the proper
course to adopt. I assume that any inquiries concerning
reports of experts or which in any way relate to the pend-
ing case or to possible claims of former employees will be
referred to me. I am inclined to believe that it would be
advisable for you to communicate directly with me with
regard to all matters connected with this case and I can in
turn communicate with Mr. McGlynn. If this method is fol-
lowed, I will be kept advised as to every step that is taken.
I notice in Dr. Drinker's report that he refers to
a possible publication of the results secured by him. His
APR 13 1925
statement is as follows:
"It is a pleasure to acknowledge this co-operation
in a thorough examination which, when coupled with
publication of the results, confronts the medical
Jose / life
profession with a most interesting and novel pro-
the
blem."

This leads me to fear that the Doctor may be contemplating
RADIUM 508
publishing his report. It would be exceedingly dangerous to
