The June 17 letter to Dr. Hyde asked about pre-employment examinations at the King City clinic, including a chest x-ray on each applicant. The June 25 letter to J. C. McPeek said asbestos would be processed in the new plant and advised against hiring men with a history of hard rock mining. The October 7 letter to Dr. Andrus enclosed a reprint on measuring blood cholinesterase.
