D,Ms Told State's
Agriculture
A butcher ' who '' is caught adulterating his hamburger with
flour deserves more punishment than a warning letter, Assistant
Attorney General John D. Nichols said Thursday as he addressed
a group of Oregon district attorneys who are meeting in Salem.
Nichols' subject was the state agricultural laws. He said that in
one year the department of agriculture discovered 10 cases of adul
teration in a district but that not
a single prosecution, resulted.
The district attorney indicat
ed that he preferredT to send
warning notices,' he said. - ,
The state-wide conference of
district attorneys, - which opened
Thursday, will, continue until
Saturday noon.' Nichols addres
sed the group Thursday morning
In its meeting headquarters on
the third. floor of .the : capitol
building.. - , i
Not Typical ! V -
"The violations of which I am
speaking are not typical of food
producers and processors in this
state," Nichols said. They re
present only a small fraction of
those on the market" He told
the district attorneys they : had
an obligation to take vigorous ac
tion against those who violate the
state's food acts.
I Nichols said there are a total
of 54 state laws which must be J
enforced by the agriculture de
partment "I .would think ; that
aside from the state police prob
ably no other state agency calls
you so frequently as the depart
ment of agriculture,' he . said.
The talk followed discussions
of FBI operations and of the pro
blems in prosecuting cases involv
ing medical practice. r

tice Cases." Afternoon talks at
the meeting were concerned with
welfare and family support prob
lems. .
Scheduled for Friday morning

witnesses and on the usefulness
and limitations of grand juries.
This afternoon the prosecutors

forcement problems and of pre
senting cases in court At 5:15 p.
