Washington, D. C.-Public con-
fidence in the sincerely of our
governments warnings about
Scarcities was dealt another Sc
we're blow when stories were
widely broadcast quoting sugar
refiners and producers who say
that the present supply of sugar
is far above normal.
Sugar industry experts esti-
mate supplies for 1912 will be a
bout 100000 tons greater than
1941. They fear that unless ra-
tioning is iberalized and sugar
moved quickly, they won't be a
BILE to handle the new Cuban
crop and the domestic beet-sugar
crop.
Although perhaps this unex-
pected situation could not be an
ticipated, the news has unfortun-
ately put the government in the
position of having turned in a
serious false alarm.
Already, it is pointed out, thou
cands of tons of strawberries have
gone to rot because Of the diff
culties of obtaining sugar for
preserving, yet it is possible that
part of the large quantities OF
surplus sugar will be destroyed
unless plans are made immediate
Nv for moving it from overcrowd-
ed warehouses and from open lots
where it is temporarily being
stored.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton is opposed to calling OH ra-
tioning, fearing that next years
supply may be very low and that
this years unexpectedly large
supply should be conserved to
meet future scarcity. Rationing
rules, however, will probably be
liberalized somewhat to provide
more sugar for preserving, to per-
NIT dealers to stock larger guam
titles and perhaps to permit tlle
public to get larger quantity
with each ration card.
Meanwhile, the public, which
had accepted sugar rationing as
a necessary sacrifice, is now left
in a state of confusion.
Public reaction to all govern
ment actions, experts here say, is
now following a fairly clear pat
tern. It has been found that the
people are perfectly willing to
make any sacrifices which seem
necessary-but when they do
make sacrifices they are quick
to show annoyance over any re-
ports indicating that such sacrl-
flee may be unnecessary and they
are particularly incensed over
any special concessions made to

Gas Attack

ed after 80 years of loyal service,
Gas Attack
A few days later we gathered
that our next twilight excursion
would be different from the ear
lier ones when, shortly before
departure, we were issued gas
masks. Soon after starting, we
swerved off a perfectly servica-
BILE highway and began to trudge
across some unpaved fields. We
had no idea when we were going
to put on our masks, but we had
been informed that word would
be passed along with the mini
mum amount of noise. AS we
were deploying through garden
of lofty golden rod, my squad be-
came aware of a rustling in the
ranks ahead, and in a moment
the fierce whisper "Gas!" was re-
1ayed back to us. We passed it
along and at the same time whip
ped out our masks and put them
on. One of the fellows later said
that he had never before heard
so pleasant a command, as the
goldenrod was beginning to dis
able him.
By far the most diverting and
exhausting of our night problems
was the one that began at 10 min
utes to seven one chilly evening
and ended up, couple of years
later, at three-fifteen in the morn
ing when we were served full
and welcome breakfast before re-
firing until noon. This, like our
first nocturnal adventure, was pre-
faced by a lecture-a rather
gloomy discourse delivered by
our company commander, who
kept spacing routine instructions
with foreboding references to
ambulances, precipices, and re-
vines big enough to swallow the
whole company. The problem be-
gan in a safe enough way with a
six-mile, nonstop hike, which
we polished off in around two
hours, arriving at an agreed-upon
assembly area around nine. We
remained there for almost three
hours, consuming coffee and
doughnuts, which were brought
out by truck.
This is the thirteenth of a
series of articles on the army life
by Ray Lowery, former editor of
The Allegheny News, who is now
a private i'm the United States
army and stationed at Camp For
rest, Tenn.)

In Loving Memory
Rufus C.. Parsons

The death angel came
Grand-Dad answered the call,
That sooner or later
Will come to one and all.
He had lived a long time
And was a friend indeed,
He was kind and generous
To neighborS in need.
sUse that good old common sense"
Was what he would say
And if we remember this
It will always pay.
His life will be an inspiration
AS we travel along 1ife's way,
We know that we shall meet HIM
Some glad, glad day.
Cheer up, loved ones and friends,
Although we feel sad and lone
We shall see him again
Around Gods great throne.

Oscar Straus, Author
0fChoco|ate Soldier :
Looks 10 Citizenship
Viennese Composer, II,
Happy as He Takes
Out First Papers

"And how, I'm happy that have
papers,
It was Oscar StrauS, 72-year-old
Austrian composer of The Choco-
late Soldier" and Waltz Dream"
expressing his feelings at applying
for citizenship in the United States.
He spoke in an interview yesterday
at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
There is probably only one hap
pier moment in the famed Viennese
composers life-that was the oc-
casion, just "a years ago Thursday.
when his operetta, The Choco-
late Soldier" was performed for the
first time in the Austrian capital.
Mr.. Straus made his first visit
to Washington yesterday, and last
night appeared at the Roosevelt
High School for the Columbia Light
Opera Co. performance of his
"Waltz Dream He left today for
New York City, but will return here
October 23

On that date an all-Straus pro-
gram will be given at Constitution
Hall in conjunction with the Treas
ury Departments sale of War bonds.
Each purchaser of bond during
the intermission will be given an

operetta.
When the Nazis staged the
Anschluss in March, 1888. Mr.. Straus
lost his lovely home" in Salzburg
The French asked him to their
country and he became a natural
lied citizen of France. When that
country fell in June, 1910, he lost
all his possessions. including money
and valuable musical scores in
Paris.
Now he is in the United States
and happy to be on the road lead
ing to citizenship in this country.
IT am non-Arayan, you know"
said the composer, land knew it
was best for me to leave Austria" "
France was still free country
then: he was awarded the Legion
of Honor and his music was played
to huge crowds in Paris and other
French cities.
Recalls Goering Story.
He chuckled as he told story
about his "non-Arayan" music and
Hermann Goering. One evening
Reichmarshal Goering entered a
prominent Berlin hotel to discover
the orchestra playing jazz.
What do you mean playing this
music" Mr.. Straus quoted Goering
as saying. Play something Ger
man." Whether by intent or be-
cause of ignorance of the latest
Nazi DEGREES, the orchestra leader
ordered a song from waltz Dream" ="
That's better" purred rotund
Goering, whose knowledge of music
Mr.. Straus questions.
Mr.. StrauS has just returned from
q successful tour Of Mexico, where
he appeared with native company
giving his operettas. The tour
started out as threeweek junket
but stretched out to nearly four
months. Mexicans, it seems, are low
ers of the Straus music, too.
The Mexican Marine Band, he
says, is the best in the world. He
thought it a good idea that the band
be invited to play in this country,
particularly in the light of strength
ening the good neighbor policy.

The spokesman declared the raid

flew through an intense barrage of
anti-aircraft fire at low altitude to
reach the targets.
Sixty tons of explosives and in

REV. HERMAN MCKAY IS
SUCCESSOR TO MIR. VOW

Salem Methodist Church, this city,
has challenged the efficacy of an old
adage, and has dared to change horses
in the middle of the stream.
Rev. Mr.. Vow, whose service here
for about five months was eminently
satisfactory, resigned his passionate
here and has been sent to Fieldale,
Va, in the Virginia Methodist Con-
ference; and Rev. Herman Mckay,
coming from Alexandria, Va, has
arrived here to begin his ministerial
work.
Mr.. Mckay, whose family consists
of himself and wife, was formerly of
Wilmington, Delaware. Before the
consolidation of the churches, he was
a member of the Baltimore Confer
ence, and had filled pulpits in Ken
sington, Hyattsville, and Union
Church, in Washington, D. C. After
the consolidation, he was pastor of the
church at Winchester, Va.
