Poor Oyster Sub
ject Of Court Fight
SAN FRANCISCO, lA*) — How
much oyster can an oyster packer
pack in an 11-ounce can?
At least 6Vi» dunces, said the
federal circuit court of appeals
here Friday, in upholding a feder
al food and drug administration
order against Willapaint Oysters,
Inc., of Seattle.
The company contended in its
lengthy court battle that to put
moie than its present five ounces
in a can would result in browned,
twisted and broken oysters.
The court didn’t agree.
It did, however, sec eye to eye
with oyster men on one point. It
set aside as unreasonable a food
and drug administration order
that the labels be marked “Pacific
Oysters.” The court said east coast
oysters aren’t marked “Eastern,”
and suggested that to require a!
‘'Pacific” label might imply the
contents aren’t even oysters.

Former Athlete
Held On Non
Support Charge
SEATTLE (/P)—Virgil A. ‘Spud’
Murphy, 47, former University of
Washington crew star, was held in
King County jail Monday on a
charge of abandonment and non
support.
The complaint was filed last
March 18 in justice of the peace
Guy B. Knott’s court, ft accuses
Murphy of failing to support his
I wife, Bonnie Anne, and their son,
Michael Patrick, 10.
Murphy, arrested in Alaska,
where he was working as expe
diter on a construction job, was
brought here from Anchorage
Sunday. He waived extradition,
The charge'^aid Murphy has sup
ported his family sporadically, if
at all, since 1944.
A similar charge was filed
against Murphy, who was a King
County deputy sheriff under for
mer sheriff Matt Starwich, in No
vember, 1946. Murphy was arrest
ed on the earlier complaint in
Alaska and in September, 1947,
was released after he agreed to
pay $50 a month for the support
of his son, Mrs. Mechem said.
“Since July, 1941, he has con
tributed only about $320 toward
his son’s support,” Mrs. Mechem
said.
Murphy said he has been unable
to obtain steady employment dur
ing the last few years in Alaska,
but that he has always been will
ing to support his child. He and
his wife separated in 1943, he said.
James V/alsh of the Pan Amer
ican and family, took off this
morning for San Francisco on a
combined pleasure and business
trip.
