§| if water had been found in the milk,

Deputy County Prosecutor Saul Rabb left the state board of health inquiry into the sale of milk to , Sunnyside Sanatorium yesterday when informed that it was a Seed. Session.

JURORS TO TAKE

Rabb ~ Compiles Witness List; Bill Proposes Separate Purchasing Unit.

(Continued from Page One)

meat and milk contracts signed by the county commissioners. ~ It was charged by federal, state and county investigators that milk sold to Sunnyside had been “watered,” ‘and meat had been sold at excessive prices. Meanwhile, the Marion county council petitioned the Indiana legislature “to give relief to the food conditions now existing at the Sunnyside sanatorium.” Support of a bill to be introduced by Rep. Lloyd Claycombe (R. Indianapolis), asking that a separate purchasing department be set up at the institution, was urged: by the council. “The council respectfully wishes to call “attention to the importance of the proper food in the treatment of tubercular- patients. Its importance is greater than medicines and such food can be had only by selective purchasing,” the petition said. i ‘Humanitarian’ Bill /

““The legislation, being purely of a humanitarian character, deserves the unanimous support of the Indiana general assembly.” The investigation into charges that “watered” milk had been sold to Sunnyside, was proceeding under direction of the state board of health. Officials of the health department were .to visit the Golden Guernsey Farms, Inc, S. Emerson ave. today to investigate the company’s assertion at a hearing yesterday, that

it got there “accidentally.” That was the defense of the comp pany at the hearing yesterday,

cause why action should not be taken against it, according to Dr. Thurman Rice, state health commissioner and director. 2s Hints Criminal Action Dr, Rice declared the board will institute criminal proceedings “if; we are convinced there was a wilful adulteration of the milk.” “If we decide the milk was not adulterated wilfully,” he added, “we will: order that corrective measures be taken at the plant to correct this condition.” Newspapermen were excluded from yesterday's hearing. When objections to admitting the press were made, Mr. Rabb, sent to the hearing by Mr. Blue, also left, Declaring there was no reason for a private hearing, Mr. Rabb said “if there was anything they didn’t want in the newspapers, I didn't want to hear it either.” . Mr. Blue said earlier the ‘health board had objected ‘to his decision in sending. a representative of his office to the hearing. Mr. Rubb was to have been present to gather possible evidence in the grand jury hearing. Jurors Hear Moore The only witness yesterday before the jurors was Mr. Moore, who - brought in records of the contracts between the county commissioners at the Golden Guernsey firm, and the contract with Kuhn's Market, 401 W. Michigan st. which, according to OPA citations, sold the meat to Sunnyside at prices in excess of ceiling prices permitted by the OPA. Kuhn's Market, according to OPA investigators, sold meat that was inferior to the grades at in the contract; at the highest prices. The market was temporarily enjoined. in federal court Saturday from delivering meat to Sunnyside at the excess prices, and a hearing

With these we meet community needs in the logical order of their greatest importance.”
