TOKYO UO—Morinaga Milk Co.,
affiliated with-* one of Japan’s
largest food combines, yesterday
offered its “humblest apologies”
for the 50 deaths reported caused

umn advertisement carried in all
Japanese and English language
papers, the company said:

the stabilizer (arsenic) used in the
milk to careful chemical analysis.

possible action by way of indem
nification and pray for the souls
of the dead. . . .”
