On May 25, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Penn- 
sylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 430 cases of canned
cherries at Philadelphia, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about April 25, 1938, by the Ray-Maling Co. from Port- 
land, Oreg.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "Raycrest Royal Anne Cherries * * * Dis- 
tributed by Ray-Maling Co. Inc. Kitchens Hillsboro Oregon."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On July 14, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HAEET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
