Dr. Janes Ewing,
Cornell University Medical College,
Dept. of Pathology,
lst Ave. and 28th St.,
N.Y.C.
Dear Dr. Ewing:
Your letter of March 12th, advising us of Judge
Clark's interest in the five radium cases is at hand.
While we appreciato that Judge Clark is undoubtedly
interested in these cases from a purely humanitarian standpoiht,
still I believe that there are good and sufficient reasons why he
should not be advised as to your results in detail at this time.
Whäch reasons we herewith outlino for your consideration:
1. Judge Clark served as arbitrator in the final
settlement effected between the five girls and ourselves, and when
such settlement was completed Judge Clark's interest in the subject
other than personal was completed.
2. Re are advised that Berry enjoys rather
cordial relations with Judge Clark and our suspicions are that the
Judge's interest in these cases at the moment has probably been
stimulated by Mr. Berry. As you are aware Mr. Berry has endeavored
be several different means to gain information as to your Committee's
findings on these girls without success to date. Mr. Berry probably
believes that Judge Clark can assist him in this regard, thereby
gaining the information he desires.
3. Mr. Berry has one case which is to be examined
physically and for the presence of radio-activity on Sunday March
17th., and Mr. Weeks of Congleton, Stallnan & Weeks, has tiro cases.
The latter two coming up in the Federal Court. These cases were
referred to Judge Clark, but in view of his services as arbitrator
the action was referred to Judge Runyon of the Federal Court.
Mr. Berry's case will come up according to present plans in the N.J.
Supreme Court, and he has pirtually told us that he preferred to defer
trying this case until the information of your Committee was available.
As we have previously told you we do not consider the information
pretaining to the five cases pertinent with regard to Mr. Berry's
present case.
4. We are of the opinion that as long as the United
Relations
