UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY MAR 1 1034 March 15, 1934 Mr. H. H. Barker U. S. Radium Corporation 535 Pearl Street New York City My dear Barker, In reply to your inquiry about being available for the trial which is set for about June 4th let me say that our university closes about that time and I suppose that we could arrange to get off even though the commencement exercises were in progress. There are, however, always a number of alumnae who return at this time and it is a rather pleasant time. Mowever, I shall do my best to be on hand for the hearing. We hope though that you will furnish us in ad- vance with a set of questions or topics which would be prepared by your attorneys for answering at the hearing. We are in full accord with the idea that the dangers of radium poisoning were not recognized at the time the patients contracted the disease. I hope that Dr. Lind will be available although the University of Minnesota does not open its summer session until some time later in June. At all events I hope that you will be kind enough to give us an outline of the chief points that will probably come up for discussion at the hearing, and then we can tell definitely whether our presence and testimony would be of service to you. With very kind regards, I remain, Sincerely yours, Herman Schlundt Herman Schlundt HS S : IK
