and some officials consider this
unlikely.
BreWeries were said to face no
insurmountable difficulties, but
eventually may have TO substi-
tute corn sugar for regular su-
gar in their watts.
Less certain, say these Off
Gals, are the outlooks for gin,
imported liquors of all kinds,
and any other beverages which
have to be rectified or fortified
with alcohol. Alcohol will be
scarce because it is needed for
the war program, especially ex-
plosives and synthetic rubber.
One of the stranger results of
the war, said one official, may
put a huge crimp in bootleg
stills. Many OF these illegal pro-
ducers, especially in the South,
have become accustomed in re-
cent years to making moonshine
out OF sugar or molasSes. When
sugar rationing begins in May,
however, it will be more dan
gerous than ever for them to
attempt to get supplies.
Revenue agents working the
southern moonshine territory al
ready have begun to find stills
converted from sugar whisky"
to making old fashioned corn
whisky out of cornmeal. But
this conversion makes it easier
to detect the operators because
of the increased bulkiness of
the materials that have to be
transported to hidden stills and
because of the much longer pc
RODS during which the stills

Scotch whisky is still plentiful
but officials hear that produc-
ton in Great Britain is declin-
ing due to lack of materials.
French and o Their European
wines have been reduced to a
trickle. South America has bid
for some Of the wine market but
must buck transportation prob
lens and the rapidly growing
taste for American products.
Conversion of distilleries TO
the manufacture of industrial
alcohol for war has begun with
about 20 large distilleries which
had facilities to make 100 proof
alcohol. Most distilleries can
make only about 100 proof, but
arrangements are being made
to have at least part of their out
put redistilled into high proof

Navy communications.
Prior to the outbreak of war,
the Navy towers of the Cavite
Naval Station wireless long had
stood pointing skyward to mark
nerve center for communica-
tons in the Pacific area.
The japanese air attack UNI
leashed its fury at Cavite, and
bounced the boys about a bit.

same boys who now IRE work

but still carrying on night and

Some of the boys have served
on battleships. Now they are
fighting the battle of the air
waves, without the rocking
decks beneath them. Upon them
depends the news from the out
side.
Since there has been a slight
disruption of shipping out this
way, the communications men
are keeping up their equipment
with precious care.
Communications men who
work outside sometimes have TO
carry on their work during air
raids and shellings to repair
transmitter and control lines,
retape line here and there TO
keep it going, and now and then
jump to the shelter of a fox

Disclosing that several pro

was the forming of the big
