NEW TRIAL
IN b[EACHED
FLOUR CASES
COURT RULES AGAINST
GOVERNM ENT IN WESTERN
MILLING LITIGATION

Washington, Feb. 24-The supreme
1ourt sent the so-called "bleacbec
flour case back to the district court
today for a new trial
This is regarded as a victory for the
western flour millers.
The supreme court decision revers-
es the ruling OF the federal circuit
court in the suit Of the government
against the Lexington Mil and Eleya-
tor company Of Kansas City
The lower court had ruled that the
bleaching of flour by the Alsop pro-
cess was adulteration, prohibited by
the pure food laws.
The decision indirectly reaches out
to thousands OF articles Of food
In effect the higher court held that
the government cannot condemn food
unless it can show that enough pois
onous ingredients have been added
to canse injury to health.
