SUGAR PROFITEERS
FACE REPRIMANDS
New Haven Starts Grand
Jury Hearing Against
Store=Keepers

New Haven, CHM, Jan. 21.-CUP)
The city will begin a grand jury
hearing tomorrow into charges that
grocery store-keepers are using
sugar to force the sale of other COM
mOdities.
Assistant City Attorney M. Ed
ward Klebanoff said the grand jury
would meet at night to permit the
store-oWners and complaining pur-
chasers to appear.
In a statement, Klebanoff said:
"It is the legal moral, patriotic
and civic duty of all persons who
were and are forced to purchase
other commodities in order to obtain
sugar, to leave their names and ad-
dresses with the city attorneys Of
flee. Rumors that purchasers face
prosecution are as false as they are
ridiculous.
THE public may rest assured that
the matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated and proper action taken.
Wartime profiteering is form of
sabotage that will not be tolerated
here"
The consumers committee of the
State Defense Council, headed by
Prof. Wesley Sturges of Yale Uni
versity, this week warned grocery
keepers not to force the sale OF other
commodities when sugar is wanted.
Sturges threatened to turn over in
formation to the U. S. Justice De-
partment if these methods continue.
The local investigation was the
first of its kind in the state.

Build More Says Roosevelt
at Press Conference;
Coastal Successes
BY SANDOR s. KLEIN
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


Washington, Jan. 81. (UP)-There
were indications today that the
navy's newest weapon against sub
marines--the blimp--was obtaining
important successes along the At
lantic coast.
The navy itself limited that Adolf
Hitler would know soon that his
"rattleSnake" submarines are paying
heavy price for attacks upon
American shipping.
President Roosevelt gave the first
hint of the Importance of blimps
yesterday at his press conference. A
questioner had suggested that, in
view of the attacks upon tankers
along the eastern seaboard, it might
be wise to construct more oil pipe
lines.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that the
answer instead of pipelines, was to
build more blimps. The navy re-
Gently placed into service its first
squadron of lighter-th an-air craft,
and many officials had expressed
the opinion that they would be OF
great value in destroying subma-
rines.
The navy's announcement that
strong counter measures are being
taken by the east coastal command
Indicated that it was pressing large
numbers of ships and aircraft into
the search for the Axis marauders.
Observers felt that waters along
the Atlantic coast-if such was not
already the case-sOOn would be-

enemy submarines.
The navy policy is to cloak in the
