WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, July 4.-The management of
the Greenbrier Hotel announced to-
night that this mountain resort
would be reopened to the public

tody of the State Department at
the spa since the first group of in
ternees was brought here shortly
after the United States entered the

Storage Jam Gives False Idea
OF Sugar Supply, Virginions Say

"Other factors make the avail
able sugar supply seem larger than
it actually is, and these must be
carefully discounted as factors in
any ration change.
Important among these is the
fact that all sugar distributors from
the wholesaler on down to the re-
taller, due to rationing itself, are
carrying much smaller inventories
than in normal times, and the
household larder contains less than
in pre-ration days Sugar normally
found in this invisible" storage now
occupies commercial storage space.
but does not constitute additional
stock.
The result OF these abnormal
factors is that the storage of sugar
is becoming a growing problem, but
they do not alter the fact that the
total amount OF sugar on hand in
the country at the present time is
far below normal
