Possibility of a small increase in

Once of Price Administration that
prospects for future supplies of sugar
are being studied.
The study. 1t was said. will deter
mine whether prospects for our fu-
ture supply will now make possible
moderate increase in the ration
The final decision. OPA stated, will
depend principally on prospects OF
importing sugar from Puerto Rico
and Cuba during the coming six
months, and on information now be-
coming available on actual distribu-
ton under rationing.
OPA officials said stocks now on
hand in the country. even though
somewhat greater than expectations.
do not justify any increase in the
ration. They said the invisible sup
ply in the hands of consumers to-
day is so per cent less than year
ago: that stocks held by primary
distributors are 20 per cent below
last year. and that total sugar stocks
in the country are one-third less

April and May. II we can safely
plan On a continuation of this i'm

fed in liberalizing the sugar ration
without danger of creating a new
shortage. that will require a later
pinching down OF the ration to be-
low even the first level"

Within 10 days or two weeks a

been possible before. the OPA said
A distorted sugar picture has been
created recently by reports of bulg-

This situation, it was explained, was
caused by the necessity of unload

OF Military Objects Signed
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today signed
a measure prohibiting the making of
photographs or sketches of military
or naval reservations, naval vessels
and other military property except
under regulations issued by the Sec
retary of the Navy or Secretary of
War.
Sponsors explained that previously
the Espionage Act barred the taking
OF photographs only where there was
an intent to injure the United
States.
In a letter to congressional COM
mittees, Secretary of War Stimson
said photographs of military install
lations frequently were made by
persons who had no intention of
injuring the United States or aiding
a foreign nation. yet such photo
graphs, if published or if they
otherwise become available to the
public generally, may result in
prejudice to the national defense"

following an investigation
prompted by petition from IS
patients complaining about con-
ditions at the institution.
TITS clear that some of the COM
plants were perfectly justified" Mr.
Camalier said. The quality of the
food is excellent, but it is apparent
that the kitchen employees have been
careless in handling the food"
The two officials were assured by
DR.. Daniel L. Finucane, superintend-
ent of the institution, that steps
would be taken Immediately to cor
rect the situation.
DR.. Finucane admitted that the
complaints very likely were JuSti-
fed, and he said the situation prob
ably could be attributed largely to
the rapid turnover of personnel,
especially in the dietary department,
which has resulted in employment of
some persons not competent to ham
die the work.
Fast Personnel Turnover.
Within the last seven or eight
months, he said. the turnover in the
dietary personnel has been more
than so per cent.
DR.. Finucsne also admitted that
complaints Of the use of Clipped
glasses and chinaware also were
justified. He said the institution
has been unable to obtain delivery
of chinaware ordered months ago,
and for this reason plates, cups and
glasses that otherwise would be dis
carded must still be used.

the institution. Commissioner Mason
