To th18I should add that IMny of ths questions asked us involvs 1".0 litUe tw and ertortin coll!1ngup with loti adequate rllply. Let illS llOW explain some .,peets of these baretllt\U'u.

Proposed legislation of poll!ib11 1njurio~ import. to our industries hasbeen watched in a nueber of jurisdictior.s, and with apparently satisfactory outoom.to ds te , W:lrthy or special x:eotioo are the liew York State air pollution controlproposals, now satisfactorily re~lved in Senate 342, on 'lfhich we have worlcedClOllelTwi th the ;'ssociated Industries of Ne.

The effective use or the ~r1c4l:1Standard for such paints sponsored b7 our Aasociation, in OPPOll1n&this proposal, w..a grat1!y1ng upect ot thts last.

A .pecial caUlgory of leg1altltlon and regulation callin~ tor constant ~-bnce 18 that of the so-called precautionary labeltn&. Here again we appear to havebeen successrul 1n securing rea~nable wording and un1!0r:dt1 aoong the staUlS an4aun1cipa1ities. 1 relative newco~er in this f1eld 1s the Council 00 Drugs of theA.l!Ierican)jeMcal Association, to which we t'..3veoffered our services in their plan todevelop :.odel legislation on labeling. In the reverse situation, having been on thebooks tor Jr,anyyears, are ths j:t:armac1bn of many of the states, recent11 shown tobe interpretable as applicable to such producta as litharge.

A.s wu ehol'lTl1n fAystatistical Lo1troducUon, the oajor1ty ot the .ervicuwhieh we render are to industry. It was pleasant to learn, from a copy ot • lettertrom one ot our JneIllOerewnich Cl'.lteto us .recently, that the writer thought that. -thoL. I.A. haa In recont years done eoee very fine JIOrk in the cedical field. - Perhapaas kPJrtant a3 any to our cec:bership 8:'1 , ~le is the llOrk of the subcomit tee otthe Arr.erican St.and.,rd" Association at Jrt:1ch the speaker 18 cha1n:an, wh1ch hal se--cured acceptance by the maia cOz::r.littee of an 1ncrea31' ot 3.3 1/.3 ~r cent 1n the stan-dard tor lead dust and tull'e in the air of work places, and ot IDOrllthan 200 per cent.tor tll\) ot its conpounds , Our pre5ent hope is to add a third ccepound to the lattercate&ory, with resultant added relief to 1n&~stry trom unduly stringent regulatl.on.1 pro;::osal that these !1gW-e3 might have t,t, be reduced for '!fOrkwith lead at highaltitude~ was negated through a conference ot authorities in industri~l toxicologyand ph,l''5iololY. Ot the last year's Y1sit3 and conteronceJ lfith inOJstr1e!, lI'e knowthat at least three ~ve led directly to bet.ter understandir,g or th'l control at le&cShazard3; our Health and satetj" Bullet1ns are issued with the SlLl:e purpose.

Second 1n nUlllbcronly to those to 1r.chstry are those services wMch we ren-der to the mcdical profession. The need tor much ot this work 15 attributable to thelack ot adequate instruction in subjects ot industrl&l health in our oed1eal schoole,with the resultant widc3pread ignorance of these problems, including that or plum-b1~. A corrective believed to be ot so~e con'5equence ha, been the distribution otreprints of Dr. Johnstone's adrlress at our St. Louis oeeting last year. Upwrard8 ot3,000 copies were lllllllt'd to all mer.-bersot th'> Industrial lledical Association, and it.13 noll' in use in th:ee ced1cal school. as an aid to teaching. Another Iilethod ot d1a-eeminating in!orJ:l4tl.on is through our reprint scrvice, compr1sing 'Oce Lo publ1ca-tl.ons ot which supplies are oaintained for issuance as required. !he drug popular1¥known as rnTA continues to be by tar the best treatment for lead abllorption, but 1t11 now knownto have toxic properties of its own, and its abuse, l:l&inly lIS • sooet1-tut.e for proper du.t and tUlllecontrol, must therefore be rore than ever watched.Such a situation ll'aS well de,cribed by • Colorado physician who wrote that an em-ployer had told him that he no longor worried about lead poisoning, now that he hadEOI'A, the doctor comenting that -h13 plant. hygi.ene was about wMt fOil would expeot.un1er those circumstances.-

Our lllellt1nss &I'll soolro<hatunique bacllusll of th" nat u;... of L.I.A. It.illwhich er:-.bracu in it, oI:'r.Dersh1pboth the producer, of the raw material and t.h"=u!llcturers who consuce it. Thus when 'Wtl lIit dOlonat these gathering, va areable to diacu!S our rrobleos ltith the bene.!'it of both villVpOints. I think thbarrangeoent 15 particular1;y va.luabh because when lie pr-oducer-s of lead attSllpt. toexpand the l!Ark8ta tor O'J.J" product, 'lie have the valu~ cooperation and advic. ofour custoeors 'liho are in clos8st touch ltith those market ••

I won't go into a detailed account ot our activit1n because follO'lt'in!ItO thi, IIlOrn1r.g)"0'-1 'lo'1l1 hear a s8nos ot report. c-:l\"t.ringour most illlt-"'Ortantopera-tions. You ltill al!lO h~r a nu::-.herot exrerts in their r-ospectIvs tields di&euuthe outlook tor a variety ot l.ad products, which i. just as important to the leadItiner as to the unufactur8r5 ot the products thecselves.

I would Just like to add tt.at. I thir.k ..... can bo proud of L.I.I..'s recentrrogNl5S. Wehave put our methods ot financing on a :nore &qUitable and nex1.blebasis. Weare operEltir.g independently o( the Metal Polold8rA"'lcistion. Wehave Ill&-

Wehave flstablillhll'd a re-tir=e:1t and pension plan. And ....e have accomplished all those things ltithout. attect-ir~ the nor.T~ ~ctioning of L.I.A.

Y(N of us rrcbably realize the confidonce and respect in which theAssociation is held in both gov8rn:::.ent and industry circles. This is invaluable to0'.11' 1r.dustry because, lIS a re!rult, out siders turn to us (or h81p in full confidence,that Y.'lether it be a technical, rV1I"keting, health or econoodc problOOIrelating tolead, they lt1ll get a proo:pt, corr.plete and dependable repl;y.

So I ltill 1I1r.rpl;y thank all the l!Ier.lb8rS for their interest and cooperationand .xpross the hope that it J:'AYbe continued to our =tual benefit for. long t1lll.to Cat8. I wo'l1d alao urge all members to make use ot the Aelloc1ation to the fulle.textomt and to let the officers and start know what your problEllls are !IO that L.I.A.fLfJ.lhelp where industry-w1de help is appMpriste.

At a recent meeting in N(N York, Hr. Alfred Baer of London, viCll chairmanof the Cor.llolidated Zinc Corp.

'l'vo Y"ars ago the Association Co=ittM llUbdtted /I. fairly cor.:plete-draftof the proposed handbook. By thlll t1:no the Braz.1ngCcr..:-.J.tteehad c~pleted andPJbl1shed their handbook and felt that it vas the fOn:! to which the solderinghandbook shouLd confom. As a re:rult, a cocpl.ete rewriting of all sections thatoor co=1ttee had prepared was then necessary. Alno3t 75 percent of this rewriteplus additional sections Vhich recent developnents in the use of sold"r made neceo-eary has nov teen sub:itted to the full cocr.ittee of the Welding Society. ThisYork should N! essentilllly creplete &s far as U',,, As~ociation C=itve 1s con-cerned within the next c.""ple of r.lOnths. It is the Co::r..ittee's hope that thisr.ar.CbookVhen cotr.pleted vill provide a user with all th" basic in!olT.'.ation he willrequire to =ke a llstillfactory joint. The types of !luxes, pr-epar-atLonof base~tals, methods of heating, and so11ers are all discusse1. ~r.ere special tech-niCj1'es are necessa ry for I!letab found d1!f1cult to solder, details of pr-oper-pro-cedure al"t'lgiven particular &t~ntion. In !1d1ition, nev an:! expanding techn1quAaouch as pr-l...r.tedcirctOits have been included as separate chapten.

The Soldor Suboon::ittee MS been voted into full lte:::ber5h~.. of theBrazinr and Sol~~rlnt Co=.ittee of the A:~rican ;;eldir,g Society. wr :'Ajor functionas Mcl:ers of this c=1t~e is to as:rure fair treat:r.ent of the various base metelail"cluded in the handbook.

An~portant result of the efforte of the Association's Solder Subc~.ittell will bean authoritative handbook lonich will be published and distributed by " Yell knownand hiehly reputable technical llociety.

With the co:npletim of th1s project, the question naturally arises as toth3 advisability of cont1nu1ne this Subcocrnitt.ee's activities.

Sincs you have alrMdy h&ard roport~ covering oolrt. of our major acUvH1e.and have r~ceiv"d copie~ ot ~ report in th~ ~il, I'm only going to skip brieflrover a f~ high points hero.

Over the laat 30 yeare the per c&pit~ con~~.ptlon of lead in the U. 3. hasdeclinoo roughly 1/2 lb. [r= iligf:tly over 15 lb. in thO)1:1at MIt of th~ pros-peroua 1920 decade to a little over 14.5 lb. in the fir,t hal! of the prosperou,1950 decade. On ths basie of pre8~nt po~ation ttis r8pr6Jents a lo,s or· over8O,<XXJ t.ons of 1e1>1coneizied pill" yellr. Sir.ce ';01"11 War II supplies or 1M'.! avill-able to U. S. con~ers have averased acout 100,000 tons per year in excess or in-duatr1al doo-.and, the difference going lM1r.ly to Govel"wnentetockpiling. It appearethat if per capita co~~~~tion of lea1 ~uld be raisoo to the level of the late'20' II, Ilupply and <:!oc-.ar.dvould rtr1lcs a close balancs.

u

HoVttver, per capita changes in eoo5Ur+tion have not been uniform throughoutthe various uses of lead •• nite Itad, foil and cable &~eath for exacple, have shownmajor decline~ but tetraethyl lead, storags batteries, Dolder and oxides for U&eSother tr.an batteries, have showntr.Iljor increasee, and nuclear radiation ,hieldinghae beccce an entirely n(N field. To close the gap bet ....een supply and industrialdElClar.dobviously requires an approach to the procLea oval' a broad front. Utortll~ust be ~~1e, ....hore po51lible, to keep the use of lead in the g~th industriesgrowing and to increa~e Lee a 1l=portant uecs and tind nIN ones. It 15 also probablethat those industries wr~ch havo shown tr.Iljor loese, will level off, someb&Causethere is little DOl"O to lose, like white lead and foll, and 5a:le, like cable llheath-lng, ...Mch have already ehO\l!rl a leveling ort te:l:ioncy Ilince the laet ."ar &"\<1Arestill si~able con~ers.

Recognizir.g that there 13 a ~d poasibility of closing the gap bet ....een sup-ply and ind'Jstrial decand, and the varlet1 of product a involvlX1, the A,sociation intr.e last few ~·C;:lrs ha s bcth Lncr-oased its I:~r){et develo~ent acUvitiee and broadenedtheir base to include zor-e product, and ind~5trias. Today we are proooting IMdthrough a greater variety of salas proeotion and resellrch activitie, than ever bo-fore. For exaq:le, including bot h old and nev activities, the list of product, on'oihich L.t.A. is expendtng ettort and lOOney,WO'.lldembrace pipe, fittings, she.t.,cslking lead, the oxides and silic8te~, white lead, cable sheathir~, solder, radia-tion shielding I:Iateriale, and probably l:l.any other" either direct17 or indirect17.There are still many ron opportunitie, and the industry can n"yer attord to b&COlacomplacent. There is al ....ay' the poesib1l1ty tr.at some day an industrl ulI1ng sub-stantial amount, of lead noli mill follow tho path of whits lood and toll.
