January 26, 1928. C.B.L. -2- vent the girls from swallowing it or retaining it in their mouths, and Second, because of the oily mixture it would be much more readily eliminated if swallowed. Mr. Berry told me that through the influence of Mr. Roeder and Mr. Cross Dr. Sochocky's recommendations were overruled and the water mixture was used. Mr. Berry expressed doubt as to whether Dr. Sochocky would be willing to testify to these facts although he indicated that he intended to call him as a witness. You can readily see that testimony along this line would be very dangerous because it would tend to establish that the corporation knew or had reason to suspect the dangerous character of this paint long before any cases of necrosis developed. I would suggest that you take up the matter with Mr. Roeder and Mr. Cross and learn if there is any truth at all in Dr. Sochocky's alleged statement. Yours very truly, JS/BAS
