A one-page Owens-Corning Fiberglas letter of November 26, 1956, from D. W. Ladd, Jr., in New York to H. T. Williams in Toledo about the October issue of The Asbestos Worker, the insulators' union journal, and O'Connor's report in it "on deaths caused by materials used in this market." Ladd urged a program to give asbestos workers around the country "a thorough physical examination to determine through proof that there is no harm to human life from contact with glass fibers." He did not recommend "any big splash," but wanted "a good reassuring defense for such accusations as are made by people like Mr. O'Connor."
