tSSth District court. R. B. McLfraish.
exchange manager said Thursday.
The exchange manager said his
organization had not been official-
ly notified of the suit and had not
received a copy of the petition
hence he was not familiar with
the allegations made
He said however that the ex-
change contends it does not owe
the advertising agency the amount |
named.
District Judge Paine L. Bush.
Dallas cited the defendants to ap-
pear on May 2 to show cause why
a temporary injunction should not;
be granted to restrain the ex- j
change from disbursing certain'
funds pending a decision in the
suit.
F B. Holland. Mission president
of the exchange said that the ques-
tion of how much if any money
1 Is owed to the advertising firm j
1 has been dispute The exchange
htlds that the agency spent more
for advertising citrus fruits than
had been authorized. Mr. Holland
said.
Officials of the Exchange issued
the following statement Thursday
afternoon:
The suit involves a controversy
with Leche and Leche Inc. of Dal-
. las. regarding expenses incurred in
advertising Last fall the board of
I directors of the exchange author-
ised an expenditure of $25000 to be
expended up to February 15 1940
with the provision that an addition-
al $25 000 would be expended for
advertising if there had been no
freeze on February 15 This section
of the board was communicated to
Leche and Leche Inc. "When the
freeze came in January of this
year. Leche and Leche. Inc. were
advised of the freeze and advised
to discontinue advertising Prior to
that time it had been assumed
that Leche and Leche Inc was fol-
i lowing instructions given by the
| board of directors but when Leche
and Leche Inc submitted its state-
ment after the freeze the state-
ment was for an amount far in ex-
i cess of $25000.
•The exchange has heretofore
paid Leche and Leche more than
$25 000 on account and has refus-
ed to pay Leche and Leche Inc
what this advertising agency con-
tends is owed Heretofore there
had been negotiations between the
parties in an effort to adjust the
controversy. At this time the ex-
change has not been notified of the
suit in Dallas and does not know
just what is involved in the suit."
