Shortage Of Sugar
Declared Unlikely
By Refining Chief

MEMPHIS, Tenn. April % CUP
= There probably never will be a
shortage of sugar, because the
worlds normal production of 30
100000 tons annually could be dou-
bled or trebled if the market was
available, E. Whitman Rice, of the
National Sugar Refining Co, New
York told the American Chemi-
cal Society here today.
Sugar of SO per cent purity can
be produced in the millions of tons
for approximately one and one-half
cents pound, Rice said, but taxes
and government restrictions oper-
ate almost universally to increase
the price to the consumer far above
the actual cost of production.
Rice said that the physical char
acteristics of sugar and the ability
of certain materials to absorb i'm
purities from sugar make it pos
sible to obtain immense quantities
purified to a degree and at a cost
not duplicated in any other in
duStry.

CHOICE OF GERMANS

CHOICE OF GERMANS
Laval has been designated by
the Germans to keep France in
line" Marchal said II can no
longer serve in the French foreign
service under the orders of a per-
son of that kind"
Meantime, tug of war was said
to be developing among American
foreign-policy making officials over
U. S. relations with the new Vichy
government.
One group favors a complete and
immediate break in diplomatic re-
lations with the government con-
trolled b. Pierre Laval. Another
recommends waiting until Lavals
policy develops into pro-axis deeds.
HULL TO RETURN
The return of Secretary of State
| Cordell Hull to his office after two
and one-half months was expected
by most informed diplomats to re-
suit in q cooling off" period dur
ing which Hull will reapparise the
entire Vichy situation. Hull indi-
Gated yesterday that he believed
the French people could be relied
upon to control collaborationiSt
elements, of which Laval is regard
ed as the outstanding eponent
The group OF officials which has
distrusted the Vichy government
from the start and favors an i'm
mediate break argues that Laval
is dominated so completely by Ger
many that whatever he does will
be designed to support the axis
cause and u operate against the
united nations.

DRUGS DISCUSSED

DR.. Maurice L. Moore and Char
les S. Miller outlined details of
the chemical research which pro-
duced succinyl sulfathiazole in the
laboratories of Sharp & Dorme,
at Glenolden, Pa, and described
results obtained in experimental
and clinical trials at John Hop
kins University of Medicine.
Moore and Miller reported that
they prepared a series of about 40
new sulfanilamide drugs for study
as intestinal antiseptics and that
succinyl sulfathiazole appeared to
be the most effective.
"Succinyl sulfathiazole exhibits
exceptional value in reducing the
risk of peritonitis in abdominal
surgery, and has demonstrated its
value in the treatment of dysen-
terry caused by bacterial infection"
the chemists said.
1T also may be important as a
protection for soldiers in the field,
especially during campaigns in the
tropics they observed.

Reduced in Maryland
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, July 14.-Lump-
sum settlements of workmen's COM
pensation claims, which attracted
considerable attention prior to 1889
because of large attorney fees col
lected, showed a marked reduction

Moylan, chairman of the State
Industrial Accident Commission,

ed to between three and four per
cent of the total claims during 1941,

Warnken made an investigation of
the attorney fees paid in lump-sum
settlements and the 1941 legislature
enacted law giving the industrial
Accident Commission authority to
approve or disapprove the legal
fees

Beef and Veal Curbs
For orNon-S|aughtering
Sellers Delayed
Deferment TO ALLOW
Marketing Of Meat
Bought Lost Week
e, the Associated Press.


The Office of Price Administration
has postponed the effective date Of
the price ceiling on beef and veal
carcasses and wholesale cuts, as 1t
affects nom -slaughtering sellers, un-
til July 20. The previous effective
date was yesterday.
The deferment was allowed be-
cause nom n-slaughtering merchan-
diserS will, for the most part, be
selling beef this week which was
bought last week under the old
prices.
The effective date on all sausage
items covered by the meat regula-
tion also was postponed until July
20 This delay was granted because
the formula for pricing sausage was
not given to the industry until last
week, and it entails considerable
bookkeeping. For the same reason
all sellers were permitted to post
pone from July Is to July rs the
deadline for filing their report of
maximum prices.
Coffee Premiums Cut.
The OPA yesterday also reduced
the premiums on smau-lot sales of
green coffee to per cent of the
ceiling price, as compared with the
712 per cent previously permitted
officials said the original ia per
cent was higher than the additional
cost of handling small-lot sales,
which are defined as sales of Is
bags or less. The lowered premium
is effective July l8.
The higher rate was provided to
make it attractive to importers to
keep small roasters supplied with
green coffee. However. a new War
Production Board order requires
equitable distribution of coffee to all
classes of buyers. and this now gives
protection to small roasters.
Abuse Reported.
In addition. it was said. the 712
per cent was abused by some i'm
porters. who split large lots into
units of Is bags or less in order to
get the benefit of the premium.
The per cent will cover the ad-
ditional cost of milling, shipping
and credit risks involved in odd-lot
sales without allowing the seller a
"disproportionate" profit, OPA said.
Another change in coffee mer-
chandising practices was made to
protect buyers from assessments for
excessive transportation costs. This
was done by limiting the transpor-
tation charge to the amount re-
quired for the most direct route at
the lowest freight rate
