Pabst Case Decision
Turned Out All Right,
House Probers Find
BY The A,,oeio,.d p,.,.

A House judiciary subcommittee
reported yesterday the Justice De-
partment gave Slightly favored"
treatment to the Pabst Brewing
Co. in pure-food case, but that
"the ultimate outcome was
right"
After diSagreements between
the Justice Department and pure
food administrators, Pabst was
convicted and fined. The House
investigators said "the wrong was
done-but 1t has been fully COR
rected and atoned for" They re-
ported that mo one connected
with the case deserves severe
criticism"
Inspectors reported that guam
tity Of corn at a Pabst corn grits
mill at Peoria, H., was infested
with rodents and insects. The
Pure Food and Drug Administre.
tion found in June, 1851, that the
plant disregarded "basic principles
Of good sanitation"
Two Agencies Disagreed. III
The food administration wanted
publicly to condemn some Of the
corn, but the Justice Department
disagreed. Pabst was allowed to-
destroy it. The company said later
that it conducted continuous
checks and destruction Of any
faulty material. but that in this
case its inspectors had not yet
looked over the corn at the time
the food and drug men made their
visit.
Later the criminal prosecution
was begun.
A spokesman for the Pabst COM
pany said in Chicago last night
that the report "absolves and vim
dicates" the company and the Jus
tice Department.
The statement added the report
"fully confirms that there has
never been the slightest question
as to the purity and excellence of
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer"
The House investigators said the
brewing company probably received
more consideration than a less
powerful organization might have
commanded" Any favoritism is.
wrong, their report continued,
"and to this extent the Department
OF Justice is blameworthy."
Public Held Protected.
But it concluded also that the
public interest was protected and
that the subcommittee did not
"sgree with the Food and Drug
Administration that this reput-
able concern should have been
unduly penalized as an example
to other wrongdoers."
The investigators agreed that
impurities in the corn would not
have been reflected in the COM
pany's beer and said that their
findings "are not an indictment
of the company. it's product or
its present operations

ton action against Pabst to be

President Eisenhower as delegate

Assistant Secretary of Agricul-

The acrimony over the non-dis-

Secretary Benson said in South

"They can scratch it out and
