WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-CUPo-
Maybe those housewives who ran
right out and stocked up on sugar
when they heard the first rumors
about rationing weren't so smart
after all.
Steps will be taken to prevent
them from benefitting from theiT
supposed forethought, Admins
trator Leon Henderson Of the OF
flee of Price Administrator sale
'oday.
"Thcse who have boards cf sugar
should stop buying and start usln2
their stocks since they will not be
permitted under the plan TO get
more sugar unUll their supplies have
been reduced to normal proper
tionS," Henderson said.

Buddhist and Shinto religions" Al
len explained. The Shinto religion
is that of the emperor of Japan and
its precepts include the worship OF
ancestors and the belief that SOL
diers who die for their native co,ir-
try become spirits to be Worshipped.
The strong ties of religious be-
lief are often so implanted in hu-
mans that they are prone to revers
to the original and native allegiance
in periods of stress or emotion. II
must be considered that Japanese
aliens are a possible danger TO the
interests of our nation, state aud
county"

.ure, committee OF winch lOT-
mally announced in Sacramento
that it had advised northern Calf
ornia growers to increase their beet
acreage in an effort to avert a
threatened sugar shortage.
While the appear Tor greater acre
age was made to northern Callfor-
MIA growers, it was expected to in-
fluence next years crop in all su-
gar beet areas, including the valley
Imperial Valley this year planted
5000 acres to sugar beets, 6533 acres
Of which had been previously ap-
proved by the agricultural adjust
ment administration in its subsidy
program. The 1867 acres planted
outside the allotment carry no guar
anty of price, but with the present
sugar supply admittedly low, every
acre of sugar beetS in the valley
doubtless will bring a price that
will more than offset any difference
between the market and the gov
ernment's guarantee, it was said.
Chief reason for limiting sugar
beet acreage in the valley this year
was the lack of processing facilities
in this area. The only plant near
enough to take the crop at a profit
is one operated by the Holly Sugar
company at Santa Ana, which al
readr had warned that it could not
handle any tonnage In excess OF
that planted al present.
The capacity of the company S
Santa Ana plant was to have beea
supplemented by a factory at FL
Centre, a site for which already has
been purchased However, it was
learned authoritatively Tuesday,
plans for erecting the Ell Centre
unit have been stymied by the
shortage of construction steel.

the proposed new FL Centro plant

 TO GOVT. FOR RECREATION

The Alaska Packers Association has rendered and the [. s. Govern ment has accepted title to a small parcel Of land located at the mouth of Anan Creek some 25 miles south east of Wrangell. according to As sistant Regional Forester Wellman HolbrOok
 This land is within an area set aside as the Anau Creek Black Bear Refuge and developed by the For est Service for recreation purposes by the construction Of trails and ob- servatories. People visiting this area are afforded an opportunity to ob- serve and photograph the black bears that cOngregate here in great numbers to fish during the salmon run. The small parcel or land owned by the Alaska Packers Association has been partially developed by the Forest Service since it serves as a natural entrance to the bear refuge.
 The Alaska Packers Association donated the land to the |. s. Gov ernment because it considered the tract to be more valuable as a part of a public recreation area than to be privately owned, Holbrook said.

Treasury Blocks
Pay Raise Tax

WASHINGTON. April 9 (INS)
Members OF the tax-writing
House ways and means committee
today disclosed that the treasury
has vigorously turned thumbs
down on proposals for special
stiff levy on above-normal indi-
|vidual earnings.
Such a tax has been advocated
by witnesses before the committee
as we'll as by several members. 1t
contemplates an impost as high as
80 or IS per cent on that part of
an individuals income which is
above what he returned during a
base period before the war.
Thus, under the proposal, " a
worker received pay boost he
would have TO turn back virtually
all of it to the government.
