filed a libel against 394 cases, each containing 6 cans, of tomato puree at Port- 
land, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about January 6, 1943, by Encinal Terminals from Alameda, Calif.,/ior 
the D. J; Pulis Co. of San Francisco, Calif.; and charging that it'was adulterated 
in that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed substance. The article was 
labeled in part: (Can) "Sun Country Brand Tomato Puree-"
On March 12, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the fit portion be separated from the unfit 
portion and that the former be delivered to a charitable organization and the 
latter destroyed.
