Mr. A. Roeder, Pres.

United States Radium Corporation,
New York City, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Roeder:
I have your letter of June I3th. We can go to the
plant of the Luminite Corporation next Monday if it is agreeable to
at
them. Our examination of the girls had the Ansonia Clock Company
showed them to be normal, or as normal as girls of that class could
be expected to be.
I am sorry that we cannot get into the plant of the Waterbury
Clock Co. as I am told by a girl that worked there that one of their
employees, a girl sixteen years of age who worked in their plant had
the same experience that your girls had. A tooth extracted, necrosis
of the jaw bone and death. She had only worked in the plant for six
months. This would give us something to combat the theory that it was
due to radium if the other girls should nothing.
I have a letter from Dr Sanford of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
they say "It is true that we keep close watch of the technicians that
are handling radium. However, in regard to blood studies we have had
no deviation from the normal of any of our people who are exposed to ra-
dium
emanation.
Of
course
that
is
the
state
of
affairs
that
we
always
hope to maintain."
Yours very truly
Freden In B. Thin
