On or about June 2, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 15 bags of sugar_ at Newark, N. J., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 11, 1942, 
from Yonkers, N. Y., and that it was in possession of M. Polaner & Son, Inc.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy substance, and in that it had been held under insanitary conditions 
whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. The article was labeled 
in part: "Hudson Valley Pure Cane Sugar." 
Oh July 13, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
