No Reduction Expected
In 1943 Sugar Ration
By the Associated Press.

B. the Associated Press.
Consumers may expect at least as
much sugar in the first nine months
of 1943 as the present basic rations,
the Office of Price Administration
said today, provided the shipping
outlook does not take radical turn
for the worse
The basic ration for household
consumers is eight ounces a week,
and 70 per cent of 1941 supplies for
industrial users.
Harold B. Rowe, chief of the OPA
Food Rationing Division. under whose
direction the report was prepared,
said that if the shipping situation
turns out to be better than We now
have the right to expect, or if the
distribution is less than expected,
any excess supply of sugar can be
distributed as a bonus, or extra
allowance to consumers.
1t appeared unlikely. Mr.. Rowe
said, that receipts from Caribbean
sources of supply would exceed a
rate equal to the quota established
by the Departmental Shipping
Priorities Committee for the period
June l to December 81 of this year.

Proposals Presented
For Endinq Strike

BAYONNE, N. j., Aug. 13 (P.--
Strikers at the General Cable Corp.
were called to a meeting today to
consider undisclosed proposals drawn
up in an effort to get them back to
work on production of cable for the
armed forces.
IF these proposals are accepted
by the employees, it is anticipated
that the work stoppage will be over"
said A. Alfred Fink, counsel for the
l 900 strikers who walked out Mon
day in protest of an adverse deci-
sion by the War Labor Board on a
requested pay increase.
Mr.. Fink refused to discuss the
proposals, drafted last night at a
conference of representatives of the
War Production Board, the strikers
and their union, the AFL Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, which has not sanctioned
the strike.
The strikers had asked a l0-cent-
an-hour increase over wage rate
which President D. r. G. Palmer
said started at 78 cents. and double
pay for vacations. The WLB es-
tablished a 3-cent-an-h hour bonus
for two night shifts.
Joseph McNally, president of Local
1858 and one of the conferees, yes
terday read to the strikers a tele-
gram from the WLB urging them to
return to work and not to forget
the boys who are fighting for us
in the Solomon Islands" The
strikers listened but took no action.
Another conferee. Thomas F. Hill,
regional labor representative Of the
War Production Board, expressed the
hope that settlement of the issue
here would deter any strike action
among employees in the company's
plant at Perth Amboy.
Jerry Seannell, treasurer OF the
Perth Amboy Local 1164. said the
members might take a strike vote
tonight unless demands for a simi-
lar pay increase were met by the
management. Such action would be
unsanctioned by the union. he added.

By ]. A. O'LEARY.

The House today passed by
unanimous consent the Rankin
resolution to make it possible
for the War and Navy Depart
ments to begin payments i'm
mediately under the servicemen's S
family allowance bill. When the
family allowance law was en-
acted two months ago, it carried
provision banning payments
until after November /.
Although the military authorities
who originally asked for the Novem-
her date to give them time to set
| up the necessary bookkeeping ma
chinery, opposed the change, Repre-
sentative Rankin, Democrat. of Mis-
sissippi last week polled the House
Military Affairs Committee and OBJ
tanned a favorable ma ajority.
Rankin Asks Senate Action.
Action today could have come only
by unanimous consent, since the
House is operating under an in
formal agreement to take up only
non on-controversial matters during
the summer period of three-day re-
cesses.
Mr. Rankin promptly issued a
statement expressing hope the Sen
ate will concur in the resolution
calling it measure of simple JUS
tice that will relieve untold suffering
without costing this Government
one extra dollar"
Retroactive Payments.
Even final passage of the resolu-
ton, however, may not result in any
substantial number of payments 60
ing out before November in view OF
the testimony given a Senate COM
mittee a few days ago by War De-
partment officials describing the
large amount of clerical work re-
naming to be done before checks
can be mailed.
They pointed out that application
blanks must be filled out and gath l.
cred from the service men scattered
throughout the country and abroad
A reasonable amount of checking
must be done to make sure pay
ments are going to the proper per-
sons
Furthermore, they emphasized
that the November payments were
to be retroactive to June !, and all
OF the records completed thus far
cover payments for that entire
period, and any earlier date would
necessitate revising all these rec
ords to comply with the shorter
period.
