Special Exposure Cohort Commission

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
Office of Compensation Analysis and Support
4676 Columbia Parkway, MS-C-47
Cincinnati, Ohio 45226

Dear Members of the Commission,

“On behalf of my husband and the employees of the Monsanto Chemical Company,
Central Research Departments, to include all personnel, all buildings, all research
development centers and all laboratories, who worked at the facilities in Dayton, Ohio
and the Mound, during the years1940-1973, | would like to petition the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services For “Special Exposure Cohort” status for
this class of employees. They represent the “silent warriors” the cadre of workers who
through their talents, perseverance, and dedicated loyalty to our country contributed to
the development of the atom bomb and the successful conclusion of World War 11.

1 am enclosing copies of the materials | sent to NOSH, since your office is in a dif-
ferent building from NIOSH in Cincinnati and you may have to send the information out
of town

I never knew my husband was one of the scientists from across the couniry culled
by President Roosevelt's Special Commission at the beginning of the war, which result-
ed in the Manhattan Project nor that he was a member of the NDRC. Once, he men-
tioned that during the war, he was on the island making bombs and rockets (I do not
know the island)) and that the person he was on the island with wanted him to start up
NASA with him, but he decided to go with Monsanto (| do not know the person's
name). Another time while driving to New York to visit my family over the Christmas
holidays, he pointed out Wright Field and said he was driving a truck load of bombs on
the Pennsylvania Tumpike one Christmas Eve (the topic was never elaborelated
upon). It was only after my husband's death in1994, that | discovered: the photos of
the bombs and rockets, together with the press releases, the two rewards he received,
one from the Department of the Navy and Army, the other from the Office of Scientific
Research and Development, and letters to my husband from the War Manpower
Commission and the Explosives Research Laboratory, Bureau of Mines, Carnegie
Institute of Technology.

In order to find out any information about my husband's position at Monsanto
Chemical Company in Dayton, | called the archivist, Mrs Kuhn, at Monsanto

In the enclosed two pamphlets that I obtained from the Monsanto archives at
Washington University in St. Louis:

In the first one “War Activities” of the Central Research Department of The
Monsanto Chemical Company, there is no mention at all of radiation exposure received
by employees being monitored.

In the pamphlet “History of the Dayton Project”, by Keith Gilbert, June 69,
Monsanto Research Corporation, a subsidiary of Monsanto Company , Mound
Laboratory, Miamisburg, Ohio, Operated for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, U.S.
Goverment Contract No. aT=33-1-Gen-53, on p. 14, it states

“Radioactivity in the laboratory had to be carefully controlled. Here scientists were
working with the largest amounts of polonium ever isolated, and the associated
radioactivity was significant.

Employees who were exposed to significant amounts of radioactivity on a daily
basis were checked regularly both for their own health, and to assure that no contami-
nation was leaving the laboratory and entering the community.”

What is unclear is what was used and how it was used to monitor the employees.
What was the status of monitoring ai that time? Was dosimetry available then? How

did they monitor individual doses? What was meant by the words “carefully”, “checked
regularly” and “controlled”? All of this information is not given.

And in the photos enclosed that | found after my husband’s death showing rockets
and bombs, there is no indication about how these employees on an island were being
monitored.

Atomic Energy Commission U.S> Government No. AT-33-1 Gen-53, you will be given a
different perspective, a glimpse of the various Units that were set up together with
their names and photos of the various directors and workers who contributed to the
development of the atom bomb , and the difficulties they had to overcome. The work-
ers come alive through the photos displayed with their names.

1 hope that those two pamphiets and the enclosed copies of the exchange of let-
ters between the Directors of the Central Research Department and Laboratories,
Charles A.Thomas, and Carroll A Hochwait, and Charles Belnap, President of the
Company, together with the letter from General Groves to Edgar Queeney, and one
from J.R. Oppenheimer's to Charles A. Thomas, together with the citations from Two
books recommended, will be sufficient to qualify the employees of the Monsanto
Chemical Company, Central Research Department and Laboratories for “Special
“- —--~ Exposare Cohort’ status - ee ae oe

Sincerely,



Headquarters in Creve Coeur, Missouri and she referred me to the Monsanto archives
at Washington University West where they resided. The collection is extensive, dating
from the time John F. Queeny started Monsanto Chemical Company until 1975. In the
archives | found the two pamphlets describing the intricate involvement of the Director
of the Research, Charles A. Thomas and the Assistant Director Carroll A Hochwalt and
the workers of the Development and Research Laboratories at Monsanto Chemical
Company had in the development of the atom bomb.

In “The War Activities of the Central Research Department of the Monsanto
Chemical Company’ it is noted that as government war activities continued to grow
and expand at the Nicholas Road Plant, three new Plants had to be developed: Unit 2,
was @ pilot plant operated for the government (p.1), and was working with the Navy

— -—"——and Air Force on the development of a new tocket and jet propetlant-which would -Rave--——- --—-—
superior properties to the available materials. At Units 3 and 4, a group of scientists
were engaged in secret war research for the War Department. Laboratory research
was soon expanded to pilot plant studies at Unit 2. “Recently our staff, working in close
cooperation with the Army and Navy, our chemists studied various applications of the
new propellant in secret weapons.” In the next paragraph it is explained that Unit 2
was working with the Army Air Force on the application of the new propellant on robot
bombs also and that Unit 2 expanded to ensure immediate small-scale production of
the propellant (p. 5). Page 6 details the role Charles A. Thomas played as research
consultant to various War agencies and to the Bemard Baruch Committee, which for-
mulated the synthetic rubber program. In 1940 he was appointed as special investiga-
tor and consultant to Division 8 of the National Defense Research Committee, which is
concerned with research on explosives: later he was elected Deputy Chairman of this
division. On pages 8 and 9 there are a number of names of technica! staff and employ-
ees associated with Units 3 and 4 at Central Research. Page 9 also tells of Dr.
Thomas being asked to be coordinator in a research project by the War Department
that was to be of national scope and of primary importance to the prosecution of the
war. Dr. Hochwait, Associate Director at the Central Research Laboratory also served
since 1940 as an investigator and consultant to the NDRC and as consultant for the
Office of Production Research and Development of the U.S. goverment for the dura-
tion of the war. According to this report, technical men were transferred from Ceniral
Research to direct participation in the war. Dr. Lum, group leader in the Central
Research Department left for The Explosives Laboratory of the NDRC in November of
1942, (it appears he was there the same time as my husband) to direct the efforts of a
group developing a new application for high explosives, and returned to Dayton in
1943. It is said the application was in full-scale production at the Navy Ordinance
Plants by June of 1943. Page 10 continues the shift of personnel involved in the war
effort by name which will most likely be of value in your consideration of the various
workers | cited in hopes of achieving SEC class action status for them.

As you peruse the material found in the pamphiet “The History of the Dayton
Project” by Keith V. Gilbert, June 1969. Monsanto Research Corporation, a subsidiary
of Monsanto Company, Mound Laboratory, Miamisburg, Ohio, operated for the U.S.

1959 Press Release

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6 -- Monsanto Chemicat Company's Inorganic Chemicals
Division will start construction immediately of a plant for the manufacture of
ultra-pure silicon metal, a material used in the manufacture of transistors and
rectifiers, Vice President }, L. Christian, division general manager, announced
today.

The plant will be erected near St. Louis, Christian Said, in St. Charles County,
Mo. The property, which is about nine miles west of St. Charles, is close to the
‘ Junction of the new Interstate Highway 70 and Missouri Highway 79, and is
. . focated on the Wabash Railroad.

The nature of ultva-pure silicon is such that it must be manufactured in an
area where the atmosphere is free from even the slightest impurities. The new
Plant site provides this.

Edward C. McCarthy of St. Louis, manager of the Inorgapic division's-sitteer ———-—— -.--
_____development p; Er inted plant manager, McCarthy formerly
wo a was plant manager of Mound Laboratory, Miamisburg, Ohio, which Monsanto
operates for the Atomic Energy Commission,

The new facility marks the first step in Monsanto's long-range plans for
cect ning Services to and manufacturing chemicals for the nation’s growing
electronics industry. .

Special groups at St. Louis, under the direction of Or. John H. Pa’ Rist
assistant director of research for the i inorganic division; and at Dayton, Ohio,
under the direction of Dr. Russell L. Jenkins, associate director, and Dr. R. A.
Ruehrwein, section leader, Both of the company’s Resdarch & Froineering
=psion's research department, are conducti Fesearch programs leading to
the development of new chemicals and Specialty materials for use In the
electronics fleid,
In addition, many of the research programs now in the laboratories of the

Siren? § Organic Chemicals, Lion Oil Company and Plastics Divisions are
directly related to the electronics or kindred industries. For several years the

Dayton as well as in the facilities of its British subsidiary, Monsanto Chemicals
Umited. To supplement Its own work in this field, Monsanto has secured a
license to use the Siemens-Westinghouse Process in the production of uitra-

The plant is being designed and engineered by Monsanto staff personnel.
Figures on cost and capacity of the plant have not been announced. The
company has been Funning pilot units and expects to have the plant on
stream before the end of 1959 and to have it Operating at design capacity
within the next year.

Ire impurities in ultra-pure silicon amount to fess than one part in six billion,
It ls a basic material used in making solid state devices, or semiconductars,
Such as transistors and rectifiers, These, in tum, are used in many
@pblications formerly requiring electronic tubes or elaborate control systems.

Use of semiconductor devices permits design of smaller, lighter and more
ceertul electronic assemblies for industrial uses as well as in missiles and
paret defense items. Such applications include use in solar batteries, radio,
television and computer equipment where electronic tubes may be replaced
and in industrial controts where high temperature operation is necessary,
