HOOVER TO TESTIFY IN
SUGAR SHORTAGE PROBE
Food Administrator to Appear Be-
fore House Judiciary Com
mittee on Matter.

Herbert c. Hoover will appear be-
fore the House Judiciary subcommit-
tee Investigating the sugar shortage
and the rising prices Of sweets next
Friday at the suggestion OF Congress-
man Tinkham OF Massachusetts, un-
der whose resolution the probe Is
being conducted.
Methods employed by Attorney
General Palmer in fixing the price OF
the Louisiana product will be bitterly
assailed by the former food admints-
traitor when he takes the stand. The
committee intends at the same time to
invite suggestions from Hoover as to
how the Federal Government should
proceed in meeting the acute situa.
tion that threatens to send sugar
prices soaring still higher.
In a recent letter to Cenator Capper
OF Kansas Hoover proposed that the
sugar shortage be met by rationing
sugar to non essential industries and
negotiating an international agree
ment to prevent nations bidding
against each other in the commodity.
This latter suggestion, about which
the committee will question the for
mer food administrator, would amount
to an international sugar pool.

SUGAR BUYING
POOL PROPOSED
New Scheme Suggested In At.

Prices.

A new proposal for sugar rerners
to pool their buying OF raw sugar In
Cubs and other foreign markets, 10
reduce speculative bidding for the
raw product, is under eonsidsra-
tion by the Department OF Justice. u
was announced today.

would remove one OF the factors tina
IL considered unfavorable to market
stability. The effect. OF the plan. II
IL is accepted by the renners, will
stavs on greatly Increased prices for
sugar to consumers.
Assistant Attorney General Howard
Il. Fig today declared that the plan
projected is In tentative shape for
presentation to the refiners as q
group. Many of the renners. II IL
believed. are ready to scceds to tho
suggestion.
The suggestion will not be laid
formally before the renners until
other measures initiated by the de-
partment In the way of preliminary
steps have been worked out. These
measures include q determination OF
the requirement OF the essential In
dustries during the present year. The
matter IL now being thrashed out by
q special committee OF refiners at
New York. The needs of approHi-
mately 1000 consumers among the
preserving and canning manufactur-
ers are being considered.
Not until the needs OF the essential
sugar users are determined will the
Department OF Justice decide def
niteiy whether OF not curtailment 10
necessary among the so-called non-
essential consumers. such as candy
and soft drink manufacturers.
IL was announced at the depart
ment today that vigorous measures
are TO be invoked to assure sugar
in sufficient quantities for house
holders generally. not only for their
table needs but for the needs Of fruit
preserving.
Extreme doubt vet exists at the
department as to the amount of sugar
available. The Department of Justice,
with the refners. now
are endeavorinG to ascertatin all facts
bearing upon this phase of the situa-
tion.
Sugar shipments soon are expected
to begin moving into normal trade
channels. with the speculator removed
