California Showdown
To Shortage of Ports
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 21.-A
Senate subcommittee, ending a
weeks investigation of Southern
California war production, re-
ported today a showdown in air
craft building, apparently due
to the failure Of the Office of
Production Management and the
War Department to realize soon
enough the necessity of expand
ing the production of suppliers
of parts"
The report was made by Senators
Wallgren, Democrat, of Washington; !;
Kilgore. Democrat, Of West Vir-
ginia, and Ball. Republican. of Min
nesota, and concurred in by Senator
Downey, Democrat, OF California,
who said he had been an observer
with the group, which is part of the
Truman Senatorial Committee in
vestigating production throughout
the Nation
Aircraft Firms Absolved.
The report emphasized that air.
craft manufacturers are not at fault.
Referring to the o. P. M. and War
Department, the committee declared: ::
They concentrated too much of
their attention upon expanding the
facilities Of the airplane manufac-
turers who assembled the parts.
The subcommittee also believes that
more simplified method of flnanc-
ing the expansion of plant facilities
by supplierS of parts should have
been developed to eliminate red
tape. confusion and delay"
The Senators expressed the view
that difficulties are not insur-
mountable and said production is
increasing. but remarked:
The individual workmen in the
plant, familiar with the capacities of
their several departments, know that
some Of their departments could op-
crate at greater speed, and. not realiz-
ing that the failure to proceed at full
capacity is due to shortages of GER
tain materials for which the airplane
manufacturers are not at fault, have
assumed that the manufacturers are
engaged in showdown practices.
Maintained Full Staff.
The committee added that this be-
lief was in part due to manufac-
turers' custom of maintaining a full
staff of employees even when there
were shortages Of parts, to prevent
loss Of production inevitable if de-
partment was shut down and then
reopened.
The report said the entire Tru-
man Committee membership of II
would return to Los Angeles shortly

Will Stort May 5,
o. P. A. Aide Says
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 21.-Suspen-
sion of all sugar sales in the
United States for period of ap-
proximately one week beginning
at midnight, April 81, as a pre-
liminary to the rationing pro-
gram, was announced here today
by John E. Hamm, acting chief
of the Office of Price Admins
tratiOn.
Sugar will thus temporarily go of
the market as of April %, when the
registration of industrial and COM
mercial consumers is started.
Mr.. Hamm said sales would prob
ably be resumed about May S, the
second day of the four day registra-
ton period for individual consumers.
In answer to question about
available supplies if rationing were
undertaken at once. Mr.. Hamm said
there was question whether there
was enough sugar in the Northeast
ern States at this time to take care
of needs there.
He added, however, that the mat.
ter of distribution was expected to
be adjusted before the end of April.
Individuals Register May Al.
Earlier the o. P. A. field Office
here had announced that industrial
consumers, such as confectioners
and candy makers. would register
for sugar rations on April % and %,
and that individual consumers would
register May, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
The announcement was made
here at a meeting of the 48 State
rationing administrators and re-
gional supervisors by Frank Bane,
field chief for o. P. A. Director Leon
Henderson.
Industrial consumers will register
at their nearest high school. Indi-
vidual consumers will register at the
public schools.
Mr.. Bane emphasized that it had
not been finally determined whether
the weekly individual ration would
be half pound or three-quarters of
| pound.
However, the stamp books which
will be issued at the time of regis
tration will contain % one pound
! stamps. Mr. Bane said, sufficient to
last more than a year if the one
half-pound ration was decided upon.
Sugar Must Be Reported.
! In the case of individual con-
sumers, the housewife or head of the
household may register for the en-
tire family, reporting at the same
time how much sugar the family has
on hand. Stamps will be taken from
the book at the time of registration
to cover such supplies.
1t was pointed out, however, that
! Mr.. Henderson had advised ANY

ers any unusual stocks of sugar at

such supplies desired to avoid max
