Wooley said lie was prepared to prosecute the chain store under the State Agriculture Marketing law-provision which prohibits use of misleading containers. He would not divulge the names of the offenders He said summonses would be issued shortly to the packers of 15 other boxes brought in by investigators who are making a city-wide canvass of stores.

Each of the 15 he showed reporters contained a false bottom or misleading label. He was particularly annoyed by the box sold by the chain store, where the summons was served yesterday. He exhibited the package, which he said is being sold for $1.49 although tlie box and its contents are not worth more than 85 cents. The container measures 7 by 7 by 3 inches, and has a false bottom which occupies at least two-thirds of the interior. On the top are a shoe brush, box of shoe polish, handkerchief, 10 cents worth of candy, five cents worth of cookies and a package of chewing gum.

It is the certificate of award of the Belgian Croix de Guerre, signed by Albert King of the Belgians, for 'meritorious service" during World War when Miccio was with the 106th Infantry. "During the operation of the regiment in Belgium," it reads, "this soldier displayed great heroism and devotion to duty and on repeated occasions he undertook the performance of exceedingly dangerous tasks and carried them out successfully with an utter disregard for personal danger." That's how Joe acted yesterday, when he struggled to retain consciousness long enough to identify the two thugs who shot him in cold blood and then raced through downtown streets in a gun battle ith other officers. And that's how Joe acted when he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and the Order of the Purple Heart during World War I and the four citations for bravery he has received since joining the Police Department in 1928.
