The House Appropriations Com
| mittee today recommended an in
crease Of $555,545 in the 1943 budget
for operation of the Naval Research
Laboratory at Bellevue, D. c.. largely

mittee said in part:
This laboratory. in the commit
tees judgment, is of inestimabls
value to national defense. The Sci
entists there employed, and there are
q number of them without peer in
their fields, have contributed In very
large part to the great strides that
have been made in the employment
OF radio by the armed forces on the
land, in the air. and on and under
the sea. Further revolutionary de-
velopments no doubt will be evolved.
1t Is felt that we should extend every
reasonable aid and it behooves us to
attract and hold the best talent that

Sugar Is Do|ed
To Restaurant
Customers
Most District Places
Give One Spoonful
To Cup Of Coffee

Many Washington restaurants be-
gan rationing sugar to patrons to-
day as Federal oflcials worked on
details of q Nation-wid program
to become effective early next
month.
From the standpoint of the private
user, Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson announced Saturday that
sugar would be available at . rate
Of about one pound per person each
week, but the method of apportion-
ing the commodity among restau-
rants and other commercial users
has not been completed.
Meanwhile, restaurant owners in
the District were taking the precau-
tionary rationing measure Of their
own accord In most cases, coffee
drinkers were held to q spoonful Z
cup.
Based on Patriotism.
A spokesman for one large short
order restaurant chain said its sugar
had been distributed to customers in
individual bags as conservation
measure for some time, but that not
until today did the one-bag limit
equivalent to ''heaping spoonful'D, 4,
60 into effect.
Asked what would be the fate Of
q customer who insisted he was a
two-spoonful man, the spokesman
replied:
He would be accused of being
very unpatriotic."
Government cafeterias started ra-
tioning sugar before Mr.. Henderson
announced the rationing program
would be adopted. At these cafe
terias sugar using patrons were
greeted with tables bare of sugar
bowls Saturday morning. Instead,
one spoonful of sugar was dumped
into tea and coffee cups ss the GUS
toners went down the cafeteria line
If the customers asked for it.
May Recover Hoardings.
Ration books are being prepared
FOR the private consumer program.
Mr., Henderson said Saturday that
there was a shortage of one-third
in the sugar supply. which in 194l
was sufficient to provide q per capita
home consumption of q pound and
. half each week.
He hinted that some attempt
would be made to recover stocks
held by hoarders, saying consumers
who are in possession of abnormal
ly large stocks of sugar are warned
that they will not be permitted to
gain an advantage from their sup
posed foresight"
Industrial sugar consumption,
which averaged 40 pounds a person
In 1s4l. will be cut to a pounds.
Mr.. Henderson said sugar sup
plies from all sources this year
probably will total 100000 short
tons, compared with 1889 900 in
1941. In normal times the United
States obtains 100000 tons year
from the Philippines, whose exports
are cut of entirely. and Hawaii,
whose output will be cut in half.
The R. F. C. has purchased Cuba's
entire crop to offset these losses
as far as possible, but much Of the
