E. Leahy had argued that these
and other Federal statutes hae
'immunized" farm co-operatives
such as the Maryland and Virgins
Association, from prosecution un.
der the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Charges Held Inadequate.
Justice Keech declared that
he considered the indictment as

quate charges" and that the Gov
ernment had failed to show that the
Sherman Act had not been elimi-
mated SO far as co-operatives are
concerned.
The justice added, however, he
wanted to preserve the right of the
Government to have the whole
matter reviewed.
Justice Keech's ruling was made

General.
Specifically, the ruling was or

on the ruling of Justice Richmond
B. Keech in District Court which

Assistant Attorney General John

Court Of Appeals here or directly to
the Supreme Court.
The Government has 10 days in
which to file an appeal.
Justice Keech, after two days of

the 17-count indictment returned by
special grand jury here March 8

Clark Hailed Indictment.
The bill had been hailed by At

indictment" in the Antitrust Di-

Nationwide Boycott
On Six Meat Packers
Called byC|0Chief
By the Associated Press

The CIO called today for a
Nation wide buyers strike
against meat produced by six
packing firms whose union work
ers walked out A days ago in a
pay fight.
C1O President Philip Murray ap-
pealed TO his organizations 5000 900
members and to the public at large
to boycott products of the six firms.
Mr.. Murray listed them as the
Swift, Armour, Cudahy, Wilson,
Morrell and Rath companies. They
have been operating on a partial
basis since the March 16 walkout
OF 10000 members of the CIO Pack
nghouSe Workers Union.
1t is important" Mr.. Murray said
IN statement, that the packing
companies feel the whiplash of pub
Tic opinion to move them from their
arrogant position of refusing to paw
any attention to the living needs
of their workers.
Urged to Enlist Housewives.
The C1O chief urged his unions
to enlist housewives in "a Nation
wide insistence that we will eat
no scab meat"
The strikers have demanded q
29-cent-an-hour wage increase,
They rejected 9-cent increase
offered by the companies.
Negotiations seeking a settlement
went ahead here, meanwhile. The
Federal Mediation and Concilia ton
Service arranged for union nego-
tlators to meet with those of Cudahy
this morning and those of Swift
this afternoon.
Similar meetings sponsored by the
Government have been held with
Armour and a company union ses-
sion with Wilson & Co.'S negotiators
Is scheduled for Friday.
Meetings Exploratory.
These meetings were described by
some Government officials as more
or less exploratory. More doWn-to-
earth negotiating can be expected
this week end or early next week,
these officials said.
Picket line violence has punctu-
ated the strike in several cities. A
dozen persons were injured when
police at Kansas City, Kans., broke
up picketing there.
This brought a protest from Mr..
Murray yesterday. He asked Presi-
dent Truman to order a Justice De-
partment investigation to determine
If strikers civil rights had been
violated at Kansas City.
The Government at one point be-
gan to invoke the Taft-Hartley
Acts emergency sections. But it
was decided that no Strike-ending
injunction could be obtained as was
done in the recent coal strike be-
cause, so long as meat remained
plentiful, it could not be shown
that either the Nations health or
safety was in danger.

justice ruled that a child born as

The ruling was made by Justice
Henry Clay Greenberg in deciding

visit her daughter, four-year-old An
toinette, who she said was a prod
uct of artificial dissemination.
Mrs. Strnad claimed that her hus-
band, Antoine, AZ, was sterile since
birth, an allegation he denied. She
sought to prevent him from seeing
the child on the ground Antoinette
was not the offspring of her ex-
mate. She had won a separation
