Ample Sugar for Hospitals
Seen After Chance in Rules

District hospitals caring for per-
sons critically i'll should be able to
provide patients with the same
amount of sugar they used last year
as result of change in the sugar
rationing regulations, L. P. Steuart,
chairman of the local War Price and
Rationing Board, announced today.
All classes of institutional users
will be allowed the bonus" allot-
ment of Is per cent of the base for
the September October period, Mr..
Steuart said. Added to the IS per
cent allotment this will amount to
80 per cent of the base.
They will have enough sugar to
provide patients with the full
amount they had a year ago, the
chairman said, if sugar used by
non patients, such as members of
the staff, is held down to the rs
per cent level to which restaurants
are limited during the period.
To qualify for the larger allot-
ment, Mr.. Steuart said, hospitals
must show that they are principally
engaged in care of patients who are
critically ILL., and who temporarily
live within the hospital for medical
or surgical care.

Farm, Labor Leaders
Talk With President
On Wages and Prices
Decline to Comment
On Details; Expect
Further Conferences

Farm and labor organization lead
ers left the White House without
comment after conferring with
President Roosevelt today on the
program he is developing for new
restrictions on wages and farm
prices to help keep the cost of living
under control
Spokesman for both farm and
labor groups said they talked over
stabilization plans with the Presi-
dent, but they declined to disclose
any details of the discussion.
The agricultural leaders confer
ring with Mr.. Roosevelt were Ed
ward j. ONeal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation;
H. E. Babcock, president Of the Ma
tional Council of Farm Co-opera-
tives; Albert S. Goss, president of
the National Grange, and James G.
Patton, president of the National
Farmers Union. They were accom-
panied to the White House by Sec
retary of Agriculture Wickard.
Mr.. O'Neal nodded his head af-
firmatively when asked by reporters
if the President had left no doubt
that his program involved stabiliza-
ton of farm prices, but he insisted
that the discussion did not get down
to details.
He declined to answer when asked
specifically if farm prices would be
stabilized at their present levels and
If he is satisfied with the program
outlined by the President.
AFL President William Green ano
CIO President Philip Murray, who
discussed wage stabilization propos-
ais with Mr.. Roosevelt in separate
conference, declined any specific
comment except to say that they ex.
pected to have further conferences

were only $500 the spendings sur
tax would be reduced to $40 and the
refundable spendings tax to S310.
Their combined tax would be 81 ,140
in the first case and 1000 in the
second case. Of these amounts,
however, $3.50 or $3l0, respectively
would be refunded after the war"
Earlier, Senator Herring, Demo-
crat, of Iowa had declared that a
manufacturers sales tax of to 7
per cent was the most practical way
to boost revenues from the bill to
the Treasurys goal of $8,700 0oo, 900
a year.

Senator Herring said, we're going
to find ourselves far short of our
revenue needs.

will bring in the money, all right" p"

Tax Seen Popular.
Senator Herring, member of the
Finance Committee, estimated 5
to 7 per cent manufacturers sales
tax would produce upward of s3,000,-
10000 annually. Further, he fore
cast that such levy would prove
popular with the citizens because
all would pay the tax and as re-
suit feel they had a stake in the
Government.
From experience in administering
a State sales tax, Senator Herring
said he was of the opinion that a
similar Federal levy should not ex-
empt any special class of purchases,
such as food or clothing Exemp-
tions lead to wholesale evasions, he
declared.
In an effort to encourage produc-
ton of strategic minerals needed in
the Nations war effort, the Senate
committee voted yesterday to exempt
from the excess profits tax the
profits derived from mining eight
vital ores.
They are manganese, tungsten,
chromite, antimony, quicksilver,
platinum, tin and vanadium.
Chairman George said the ques-
tion of adding tantalum, nickel and
mica to the exemption list was being
studied.
Normal taxes and corporation sur
taxes will apply to the profits from
mining the eight minerals.
Senator George said the revenue
loss would be very minor" estimat-
ing it at 100000 to $500 1000.

RAINBOW SUGAR
 JUST A MEMORY
State OPA Office Recalls Story Behind Incident
 of 1918

Rainbow sugar" sounds beauti- full, looks awful, and there won't be any of it for sale during World War II.
 But according to Ivan w. Burdick, chief of the Sugar Rationing Divis- ion of the State OPA office in Hartford, rainbow sugar, in all its prismatic glory, was part and par eel of every Connecticut cupboard back in 1918.
 As Burdick tells the story, the colorfu1 sweetner was imported by the United States from the East Indies and Brazil when a frenzy of hoarding removed white sugar from the market.
 Domestically unable to meet the exorbitant demand for sugar, the government began bidding for the crudely refined product of the East Indies and Brazil, eventually im- porting thousands of tons of what quickly won the name of rainbow sugar.
 Due to either a defect or a lack of technique in the refining pro- cess. this sugar, packed in 28O- pound bags, was all the colors of the rainbow.
 At least one pigment derived from dirt, 1t is remembered, while the texture of the granules was no whit improved by the frequent presence of bird nests, balls of twine, stones, charcoal and bones ire quently turning up in bags of East Indies sugar.
 Yet the American people, unpro- tected by rationing or price control, jamh .d stores to buy this inferior product for 35 cents a pound, Bur dick remembers.
 Today, thanks to the controls of the OPA, the best white sugar can be had in quantities sufficient to meet individual needs at ceiling prices in Connecticut no higher than seven or eight cents a pound.

Science Looks To. Lowly Sagebrush As New Source Of War Vital Quinine
(By NEA Service)

Los Angeles, Aug. 7.-It may be that w. D. Hoppie, inventor and for mer Arizona cowboy, is the man to forestall the chills-and-fever threat of national Quinine shortage. Hop pie has been experimenting with black stagebrush. And he thinks that enough quinine can be extract ed from the abundant desert bush to backstop the shortage caused when the Far East sources were lost.
 That is encouraging news, for lacl. of quinine could be severe military handicap to our troops fighting in marshy and tropical countries. The same is true of opium, whose valuabel anesthetci derivatives are vital war necessi- ties. The U. s. Treasury has a supply of both drugs and there are some 20 million ounces of qui- nine pills and powders on Amer ica's drugstore shelves. These stocks are adequate for several years normal consumption. But the possibility of extensive mill tary use makes the prospect less bright.
 MANY DRUG PLANTS
 WILL FLOURISH HERE
 In all there are 58 crude drugs either in short supply or unavail- able because of war in the pro- ducing countries. But several o1 these, formerly imported from Central Europe, are from plants that will flourish here. Among then are digitalis, belladonna, henbant Others such as cocaine, therefore mine and caffeine, can be produced in South and Central America. Ano hopeful youngsters may resign them selves to the inevitable for castor oil, once imported from India, is now coming from Brazil and Haiti
 The history of quinine parallels that of rubber. Like the rubber tree, the cinchona tree, from whose bark the drug is made, was trl- digenous to South America. But cultivation was neglected and it was developed in the Dutch East Indies. If Hoppie's discovery is commercially practicable it will avoid the necessity of hunting through tropical South America for wild cinchona trees, or falling back on the synthetic drug ata- brine, 8 quinine substitute.

"oscar," money; "sheila," girl; and tucker" food.
 Other material recently received by the Yale War collection in Sterl- ing Memorial Library includes what Is believed to be the first posters sent to this country from Russia. Others have come from Australia. South Africa, Iceland the Fiji Islands and India.
 The Russian posters are so new that they had not even reached the Russian embassy in Washingto Some are as much as six feet high and are so designed as to make them appear to be original paint ings.
 The subjects differ from those of their American and British coun- terparts chiefly in their greater er1- pEasls on closeup" scenes of bat- tie, depictions of Russian bravery, and the use of illustrated fables. Like American posters, many of them feature caricatureS of Hitler and his neutenants.
 Of especial interest to future his- torians may be the collection of letters sent to Senator Robert A.. Taft and Miss Dorothy Thompson on the issue of intervention. They include all sorts, some wholly ap- proving, others protesting, and a few violently condemning their at tiEces
 Cross Section
 This mall, apparently representing in its diversity a cross-section of American opinion, ranges in Stayle from the childish scraw1 of semi literates to emotional poetry or lengthy discourses by intellectual leaders.
 Since the beginning of the war in September, 1939, the collection has been receiving an almost limis- less variety of material Its purpose is to preserve all available docu- nlents relating to the war, war be- ing defined as "a condition affect ing both belligerents and neutrals, !" and Q document as "a piece of paper with marks on 1t that make sense" 1"
 Among the many types of "docu- nlents" are airplane leaflets, menus iron. rationed restaurants, appeals for relief. opinion on isolationist- interventionist issues, Axis and Bri- tish propaganda in Latin America, domestic "pep-talk" posters and personal letters and diaries.
