On August 11, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 21 tubs, each containing approximately 62 
pounds, of butter at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped 
on or about August 1, 1941, by Omaha Cold Storage Co., Omaha, Nebr.; and 
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: 
"Douglas Brand   *    *    *    Butter."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. It was 
alleged to be misbranded in that it was labeled "Butter," which was false and 
misleading.

claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered released under bond to be
