Report, no date

ur. funny A 37. I was brought into the picture in March 1925, by Dr. Gilbert Thompson 38. Statement denied. I was in Boston,Harvard University, April 1925, to disauss with Dr. Edsal the Tetra-Ethyl lead situation. Dr. Drinker was brought into the conversation, and after the lead situation had been cleared up I told Dr. Drinker that I was going to study the radium question and asked him what his feeling was on the subject, and what his findings had been. There was just a general discussion at that time. Wash.D.C In May 1925 at the head-quarters of the U. S. Public Health Service at a conference called by the Surgeon General to discuss the hazards of Tetra-Ethyl Lead, Dr. Drinker asked me how I was getting along with my radium work, and suggested to me that I should get hold of his report to the U.S.Radium Corp., and told me OI his experience with the .J. State Labor Depart. and claimed that the Company had not given the Department the full details of this report, and he was very much afraid thay would do the same thing with me, and suggested when I received the report from the U. S. Radium Corp., that I send the report on to him an d he would tell me whether it was the complete report or not. On receipt of this report some- tirje in May I wrote a letter which is quoted here (quote). On the steps of the Surgeon General's building office Dr. Drinker told me that he wanted to publish his findings, and asked me what I thought about it, and I said that if he thought the Company was crooked, and I said that I certainly would take int up with the Company, and publish it in spite of them if he thought there was crookedness - but that he would have to use his own judgment in the matter, that I did'nt think a medical man had any right to supress a situation even if he had to mention names. Between the conference in Washington and January 8,1926 I saw >Dr. Drinker severà times and each time the radium question was discussed. I don't know just exactly the dates it was discussed as I was up and back to Harvard several times. The men I have talked this over with are - Dr. W. S. Bean,Surgeon U.S. Public Health service. Dr. Frank Pedley. Dr. Arthur Pope and Dr. Pettit of Ottewa. When the Dunn case was sent in it was sent over to the hospital for regular A diagnosis of the case. Any case that looked suspicious of any Case that Dr .Flinn had any direct connection with were handled in conjunction with the Presbyterian, and Roosevelt and Waterbury Hospitals, in conjunction with the regular hospital staff. 41. When Miss Wiley asked permission to come over and see me at my office at the building, at the suggestion of Dr. Alice Hamilton, I discussed freely with her my findings up to date. She said that she wished that I would examine some of the Orange girls, and said that she had the list of seven or eight girls whose addresses she would send and would try to persuade them to have an interview. She mentioned Miss Schaub in particular, stating that Miss Schaub's own Doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her whatever, that she had been examined by several neurologists and that all said that she was all right, but said they thought she was neurotic, and probably had some stomach trouble. Miss Wiley said that if I would talk with her and tell her of my findings it might relieve her mind and make her optomistic as to her general conditions. I received a letter from Miss Wiley giving me Miss Schaub ( address, saying that she could not find the other addressed she promised me, and suggesting that I write to Miss Schaub. I received a letter from Miss Schaub in response to my letter, saying that she was topill to leave her home and that if I was interested enought in her case to come down to her homethat she would let me see her. I ignored her letter completely, becaune I thought that if she was not willing to gúme to my home to see me or the University for examination she was not worth bothering about, especially after Miss Willey's statement. One Sunday after in the next spring of 1926, I received a 'phone call from Mis S Schaub introducing hereself, because I did not remember her name at the time, and asking if she could come to the house to takk with me for a few minutes. I told her to come on up. She arrived at the house shortly afterwards with a friend, and after the usual greetings she told me that she had a tooth in her head that was bothering her and wanted to know what my advice was about having it taken out. I told her that the best thing she could do would be to go to a good dentist, explain to the man where she had worked
