"No packer at any time ever re-

of the case before he appealed to
the president.
Heney said such requests, If made,
were never communicated to him.
Heney also read from the testi-

Paul hearing Heney had called only
witnesses opposed to the packers,
that the four principal witnesses
were retail butchers and that one OF
