Prosecution of
Sugar Pro6teers
To Begin Soon
Food Administrators Now
Collecting Evidence; Says
Victims Allow Couging
to Keep Business Going

Federal Food Administrator Arthur
Williams declared yesterday that
Wholesale prosecutions of sugar prof
iteers would begin as soon as the pres
cnt stringency is relieved.
Mr.. Williams explained that the gath
ering of evidence against profteers was
difficult at present because their VIC
Tins preferred being gouged to losing
a source Of supply. He said he was
convinced that some dealers have elud-
ed the combined vigilance of Federal
state and city authorities and are de-
handing and receiving eXorbitant prices
for sugar. When retailers, restau-
rateurs, wholesalers and manufacturers
are able to obtain their sugar through
legitimate channels mass Of evidence
will be forthcoming to enable the Fed
cral authorities to punish all protitecrs
Price Decline Predicted
"There is no doubt that unfair
deAle rs have seized upon the shortage
to profitecr in sugar" Mr.. Williams
said. "Although we fully realize this
we are compelled to look on helplessly
simply because the man paying for the
sugar is willing to be victimized to keep
ii
ness from being shut down.
"The Federal authorities are poised
ready to swoop down on these profit
ecra, and this will be done as soon as
the victims are able to get sugar at
fair prices"
Mr.. Williams predicted a speedy de-
cline in the price of Louisiana sugar
This sugar was first released on this
market about month ago at 10
cents n pound. The Food Adminis-
traitor said yesterday that he knew
specifically Of two stores which we've
selling it Mt 13 and II cents a pound,
respectively.
at is merely a case of supply and
demand adjusting the price," Mr..
Williams said. asking high prices
might not affect the sale Of com
modify at first, but in time it will
always reduce the demand and bring
consequent reduction in price"
Food Sales Banned
Commissioner Of Markets Edwin J.
O'Malley declared yesterday that he
had definitely decided not to permit
DR.. Jonathan c. Day to use any of the
public markets for the conduct of his
sales stations.
~ am convinced" Mr.. O'Malley said,
that the food sales are a private en-
terprise and l have definitely decided
to keep them out of the cty's mai.
kets. The stocks Of food that Dr.
Day now has in the jefferson and
greensboro markets may remain
there until DR.. Day finds some other
place to send them. but | will not
permit him to conduct sales in the
city markets"
When this was called to the atten-
ton of Dr. Day he said that Mr..
O'Mnllcy's decision didn't trouble him.
Besides, he said, he was through with
the Markets Department and didn't
want anything to do with it any way.

can't be clear if he drinks alcoholic
beverages"
The silver service presented to the
