The facility in Alabama produced millions of gas grenades, bombs, shells, and tons of chlorine and mustard gas, much of which was shipped to Britain. Morgenstern provided medical care to the arsenal workers in Building 117. Most were young men and women from the surrounding farms, some still teenagers.

Hueper published a sweeping synthesis of industrial, pharmaceutical and natural sources of cancer—at an especially inauspicious time, right after the Japanese attack on pearl harbor in 1941.6The war against those things that cause cancer has always been hampered whenever nations have traded metaphorical wars for real ones.

Cocaine abuse came to a fairly abrupt end in the United States after pearl harbor in December 1941. For the first time in U.S. history, there were effective wartime regulations and practices that gave the authorities very real controls over the import of cocaine and other unwanted drugs such as marijuana and opium.

A few weeks after the Japanese attacked pearl harbor, Dr. Vannevar Bush, director of OSRD, personally brought a number of drug companies into the research effort. A year and a half later he wrote: Now, the pharmaceutical companies have cooperated in this affair after a fashion. They have not made their experimental results and their development of manufacturing processes generally available, however (cited in ibid.). The problem, Harris remarked, "was that most firms were too busy trying to corner patents on various processes in the production of penicillin to produce much of it . . ." (ibid.
