Henderson Sugar Ceiling
Attacked by Crawford
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Crawford, Repub-
lican, of Michigan said today that
the Governments ceiling of 312
cents a pound on raw sugar may
produce "a most critical" situation
in the territory between Chicago
and the Atlantic Seaboard.
Commenting on the decision of
Leon Henderson of the Price Con-
troll Administration to peg the top
price of raw sugar, Crawford said
in a statement:
'Henderson's unprecedented action
was taken without consulting the in
dustry and. it also appears, without
having first fortified himself with
the facts.
Not only are continental sugar
beets and cane farmers involved, but
also the entire Cuban sugar indus
try, but more particularly, the con-
sumers of sugar"
Crawford went on to say that con-
tinental beet and cane mills had
insufficient sugar at hand to supply
the Eastern United States for the
next 80 days.
In addition. he said that labor
troubles in the East complicated the
supply situation, and added
THE Cuban republic is tremend-
ously upset because this action was
taken without notice"

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-Because
of expanding defense requirements,
consumption of petroleum products
in the United States is expected to
be the highest in history for the
full year 1941. and approximately
1l.31 per cent above 1910, the Lamp
a publication of Standard Oil Co
New Jersey, said today.

threatening to bring delivery snarls
Nobody is sure how much trans
pcrtation capacity will 60 to Great
Britain and our own Navy, but if it
we're necessary to estimate now,
most oil men think consumption
be 1191 per cent above last year,
and in the Western Hemisphere up
1888 per cent.
"In the June Lamp hope was ex-
pressed that compulsory rationing
might be avoided If further with
drawals from the reduced tanker
fleet left to supply the East Coast
were neither too numerous nor toe
rapid" the publication added.
"Since then there have been indi.
cations that more tankers will be
called from the Western Hemisphere
fleet to help deliver oil to Great
Britain. At the present writing i,
appears likely that some form OF
rationing under Government spon-
sorship will have to be resorted
to until the industry's long-range
program to replace the com.
mandeered tankers begins to take

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-The stock
market today plowed a couple OF
more burrows in recovery ground.
While gains of fractions to point
or so were fairly well distributed at
the close, top marks established IN
the forenoon later were reduced in
many instances.
Dealings, like prices, were the best
in the morning. The pace slowed
appreciably after midday. Trans
fers for the full proceedings were
around 100000 shares.
Foreign news was far from the
liking of bullish forces and most OF
the bidding that appeared was
credited to the belief of technical
observers that the list was due for
a temporary revival in view OF the
lengthy stalemate. On average the
market had been up only slightly
twice since July %.
The German push in the Ukraine
and rising japanese tension served
to temper rallying enthusiasm,
brokers said. In addition. Wall
Street still was confronted with the
perplexities of soaring taxes and
governmental industrial restraints.
Steels were in front of the early
comeback, along with rails and air.

buoyed to some extent by an esti-
mated increase of OF Of point at
