Case of the Contaminated West Coast Cranberry Stirs Violent Controversy

WASHINGTON, lR - Growers heatedly denied Tuesday that cranberries with cancer-pro- ducing content are on the market. But A & P Stores headquarters in New York announced with drawa1 of the berries and their products from sale in all of its 4,OO0-unit nationwide food chain.
 One big group of farmers de- manded the custer of Secretary of Welfare Arthur $. Flemming for putting out word, just ahead of the traditional cranberries- with turkey feast of Thanksgiv ing, that part of the West Coast crop has been found contaminated by a weed killer.
 The National Agricultural Chem icals Association came in with the comment that the amount found in berries is so low a hu- man would have to subsist almost entirely on the fruit for years to approximate the conditions that produced cancer of the thy roid in test rats.
 On The Safe Side
 But an A & P spokesman said the fruit, whether fresh or canned, was being pulled off the shelves to be on the safe side. He said the firm feels the berries are safe but in the public interest it believes it best to pull out un- til the situation clears up. He added that most of the chains berries come from unaffected areas in Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
 The uproar was set off by statement from Flemming that the contamination, resulting from inn proper application of the weed killer aminotriozole, had been found in part of the 1859 crop from Washington and Oregon, and the 1858 crop is being checked.
 The Secretary said the Food and Drug Administration urges that no further sales of cranber- ries or cranberry products from the area be made until the in dustry has submitted a workable ro1an to ceparata contaminated berries from those not contam- mated.
 As for the housewife, Flemming said under questioning, ITO be on the safe side, she doesn't buy" if she cannot learn the source and year of the berries.
 Eastern Berries Not Suspect
 Flemming said no reason has been found to suspect berries

rom the OIneT pig growing areas in Wisconsin, New Jersey and Massachusetts. He did not indi- cate how much of the Washington Oregon outut may be affected, nor where it may have been sold. Some contaminated berries have been stopped, Flemming said, but he mentioned one lot already dis tributed before it was identified.
 The call for Flemming's official scalp came from the Massachu- setts Farm Bureau Federation. Carleton I. Pickett executive secretary, wired the demand to President Eisenhower. He said if Flemming has any evidence of a harmful residue The has known it a long time" He said Elem ming's release just before Thanks giving is Jealous and harmful" and added: "He has a duty not to yell fire until he knows there is one"
 Ocean Spray First to Protest
 The National Cranberry Asso- ciation, which markets the crops of many growers under the Ocean Spray label, was first to protest.
 First" said association vice president Ambrose E. Stevens, i've can state that to the best of our knowledge, all cranberries in groceries and supermarkets to- day are pure and wholesome and untainted by any dangerous sub stance.
 Second, we are shocked that the U. s. government has made public what we consider an in flammatory statement concerning possible contamination of cran- berries by a weed-killer approved by the Department of Agri- culture"
 Stevens said Ocean Spray grow CTS were instructed on September Is to stop using the weed-killer, aminotriazole. Any crop sus- pected of contamination has al ready been isolated from the mar ket," he added.
 At South Bend, Wash, Coun- ty Extension agent Nolan Servoss cold tboro wac m aVidonca that the stuff would produce cancer in humans. Furthermore he said, the concentration of the chemical in Washington cranberries was so minute that "I would not hesi- tate to eat all the Washington cranberries I could hold"
