The senate Friday approved a resolution which had passed the house of delegates condemning "libelous, untruthful and poison- ous propaganda" disseminated by a Battle Creek, Mich., cereal company. A copy of the resolution is to be sent to the Michigan state board of health. The Battle Creek concern, the legislature was told, sent out printed matter describ- ing the oyster as "dangerous to one's health and aesthetic sense." Late Friday, however, he under- went a change of heart and an- nounced that since Prosecutor Har- ry S. Toy "went down while fight- ing for me, I'll fight for him." The prosecutor collapsed in the courtroom shortly after Tara had been placed under arrest and his testimony stricken from the record until he elected to undergo cross- examination. Assistant prosecutor, carrying on while their chief recuperates at his home, said Tara would be recalled to the stand. He was not to ao- pear today, however. the naii uay session being devoted chiefly to the reading of Buckley's political ad- dresses, begun Friday by the pros- ecution. The addresses are intend- ed by the state to prove motive.
