After a two-day search, the nine inspectors appointed by the National Board of Health failed to find any contaminated oranges among the 60,000 cases of Israeli oranges unloaded in the part of Halifax, the Board of Trade said today. The inspectors conducted a check of the oranges yesterday and Tuesday as a result of poisoned Israeli oranges having been discovered in several European cities earlier this month. In the same cargo there were 90,000 cases of Jaffa oranges destined for Philadelphia. Sources here said these cases would be inspected on arrival in the U.S. (By Michael Solomon)
