Clue on Drums

They had been watching the
plant for a week when they
got their first clue to what was
in the drums. An unmarked
green paneled truck parked in
front of one of the sheds and
Cal-Tex employees started un-
loading drums. The label on the
first drum was clear: "Anheu-
Ser-Busch Corn Syrup"
On July Is, Smith was man.
ming the binoculars when he
spotted the green truck park
behind the building. He could
see employees unloading the
truck, and then staggering into
the tin shed with 100-pound
brown paper sacks. He could
read the labels: "Hershey's
Sugar"
Two days later, Smith and
Moses went before the United
States Commissioner and OBJ
tanned a search warrant. Moses
got permission from Washing
ton to seize all the misbranded
orange juice in the plant, pro-
vided a fast analysis for Vita
min c proved the juice was
adulterated. He asked the New
Orleans chief inspector to send
him two more inspectors and
a chemist.
On July 20-exactly one
month since the judge had
refused to grant the Injunction
against Cal-Tex-Howell and
the Smiths reached the apart
ment at 4 am. to begin their
daily surveillance. While How
ell was busy with his binocu-
lars and Smith was taking
movies of a plant worker trudg-
ing across the yard with two
buckets of sugar, Moses was
installing chemist E. c. Deal
in a motel with his equipment
to run the vitamin C check.

Drug Store Rendezvous

At GAS am, Moses and Dep
uty Marshal Neal Mathews met
the two inspectors from New
Orleans. Oliver H. McKagen
and Donald c. Duncan, at q
drug store not far from the
plant. A few minutes before 10

Over the Grapevine

wv NVN NWPSVWV
Moses asked a friend in the
wholesale drug industry to put
the grapevine to work. Did any
body remember selling large
quantities of ascorbic acid since
June 20?
A clerk had been impressed
by the size of recent orders
for ascorbic acid and showed
the invoices to the inspector.

Told Of Analyses

The Judge was told what the
analysis of the two samples
revealed. The juice in its orig
inal form showed nearly twice
as much Vitamin c as the
juice that went into the car
tons. The juice in the cartons
was roughly so per cent orange
Juice and 40 per cent sugar
and water.
The inspector testified that
he returned to the plant in
January, 1859, and collected
more samples, including some
oranges. This time, his call
was in the morning but the
plant again shut down imme-
diately. The samples and the
oranges were analysed and the
Juice was definitely not "as ma
ture made it."
In February, an inspector and
a chemist were sent to a Mis-
souri, repacking point to check
a tank-load of orange Juice
from Cal-Tex. A quick analysis
for Vitamin G showed only
half the normal content. With
that, a Federal judge in Mis-
souri, signed an order to seize
the tank truck. Ordinarily, the
shipper goes into court to deny
the governments charges but
In this case, the court was
notified that the juice wa
spoiled and would have to bt
destroyed.
When Moses returned to the
plant In March, he figured that
Cal-Tex had learned its lesson
and he would find pure orange
juice. At 8:l5 am, he started
collecting samples as he had
before, but he didn't stop at
one collection. He took an
other sample every IS minutes
until the plant ran out of
oranges in mid-morning.

Injunction Asked

The first set of samples ana
lyzed the same way as the juice
collected on his two earlier Wis
its-part pure juice, part sugar
and water. The last samples
showed pure orange juice. The
Food and Drug Administration
asked for an injunction to stop
Cal-Tex from interstate ship
ment of adulterated orange
juice.
The judge listened to the
story told by Moses and the
chemical analysis explained by
experts. He also heard Gordon
E. Van LEV, president of CAL
Tex; his brother Dell Van LEV
vice president, and Arthur r.
Becker, secretary treasurer,
deny that any sugar or water
was added to their orange
juice. Refusing to grant the
Injunction, the judge said:

Food and Drug Inspector
Walter B. Moses walked heavily
from a Houston courtroom in
June, 1859. his shoulders
slumped and the sharp words
of a Federal judge still echo
ing in his mind. He had spent
six months developing evidence
that a product labeled Fresh
Orange Juice-As Nature Made
It-Nothing Added" was adul-
terated with sugar and water.
The meaning of the adultera-
ton had been explained to the
Judge by experts. If mothers
relied on this product as pure
orange juice with the pre-
scribed amount of Vitamin c.
(ascorbic acid and vital min
erals, their babies weren't get
ting all they needed.
On the witness stand, Moses
had told of visits to the plant
of Cal-Tex Citrus Juice, Inc,
of Houston. He said he had
made his first inspection in
December, 1858, after competi-
tors reported the product was
far from pure and housewives
complained it didn't taste like
real orange Juice.
On his first visit, Moses said.
he arrived late in the after
noon and work stopped imme-
diately. He was told all the
oranges had been squeezed for
that day. He took samples at
the tank where the oranges
were squeezed and at the end
Of the line where the juice went |
into milk cartons to be shipped
to three national diaries and
some smaller concerns.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir:
 What I am about to ask may seem foolish to you but it is most important to me.
 Please bear with me and answer if you can.
 l would like very much to have a job as cook for a woods crew who pack back for the summer. Can you tell me how to go about it? A lifelong dream of mine is to work this way every summer. l know a good many times couple is hired for this type of job. My husband and I discussed it. Then I had the misfortune to lose my husband this past winter and was forced to make new life for my self can see no reason to give up my former desires. I am 45 years old, a good plain cook and bake bread, cake, pies, etc. I am strong and healthy and would guarantee to stay the season The greeat out doors I love.
 I am not promiscuous, and l would conduct myself with proper decorum. I want to go to college and this way I could make a good living and still accomplish a few dreams I do not drink or smoke. I realize this must be an un- usual request. What I want is sim pie. How do I go about getting such a job? Do you know of anyone I can contact to be able to go next spring? I know I cannot go this summer. I am working now on ranch as cook where I do all the baking, etc. Any names, places or information would be greatly ap- preciated. I remain, most
 Sincerely yours,

QUESTION: am a waitress in a restaurant. My employer withholdS social security tax on the value of the meals l am fur nished. Is this correct?
 ANSWER: Your employer is correct. Even though you do not pay income tax on the value of your meals when they are furnished for the convenience of your employer, wages in kind count for social security purposes. Your employer must withhold social security tax on your meals the same as he does from your wages. Your social security account will be credit ed with the combined total of your cash wages and the value of the meals furnished to you.
 QUESTION: I am going to be 65 in May of 1862. I do not want reduced benefits. When can I file claim for social security benefits?
 ANSWER: You may file a claim for benefits as early as three months before the month for which you wish it to be eff fective. In your case, an appli- cation could be filed as early as February to be effective with May.
