Washington April 8 Secretary of Agriculture Jardine filed in the District Supreme Court an amended bill in the Leonard Crosset Riley and the A Gerrard Company case opposing the Sherman Plan of federal cooperation in fruit and vegetables. Jardine says about 23 000 copies of the proposed registration plan were sent out and about 2 000 replies received with 803 signed and on file. The plan would apply only to subscribers and a symbol would identify them to others, not to harm non subscribers or disclose their finances. Justice Stafford set the case for argument April 9.
