Letters Sent to Dr. Donald C. Butts, June 25, 1925

June 25, 1925. lir. Donald 0. A. Butts, Pine Beach, N. J. My dear Mr. Butts: of course a great deal of misinformation has appeared in recent miblicity concerning what some people who have no kmowledge of radioactivity are pleased to torm "radium necrosis." Quite naturally, however, tre have had extensive investigations made and are contimuing this work not only at our plant but at other plants. The vhole subject will be compiled and I presume eventually published. Unfortunately the situation, which is at best very circunstantial, has been seized upon and a suit has been brought against this company for damages and apparently competing consercial firms are using the publicity in an effort to win some of our business. Until this situation has been cleared, it seems more desirable not to distribute any technical information for publication. The question is being probed to the limit and exhaustive experimental worl is being carried on. We trust that it vill be available for you before your worl is completed. In the meantime, if you have any data that you consider in any way hars any bearing on this subject, would you be good enough to let us have it ? Yours truly, President e ARoeder-EM
