Dealers Fear Supply
OF Sugar Won Meet

Excessive Purchases
Will Hamper Plan
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March Sugar
dealers said today current sup
plies of sugar on the Eastern sea-
board might fall short of meet
ing the weekly y or 81 pound
per-person ration soon to go into
effect.
Industrial and trade users. they
said were getting in some instances
less than so per cent OF the amount
they used in l94l, against a permis-
sible 80 per cent.
Refners have operated on a day.
to-day basis for weeks. Sugar car
goes from Cuba, where most OF the
Easts sugar originates, have arrived
irregularly
Concealed" Stocks Cited.
The scarcity was reflected In soft
drink rationing reported by some
grocers. One, who normally sold
more than a case day of popular
beverage, is permitted to buy five
cases a week now Another has
been unable to buy any for three
weeks, he said.
Chief hope of the sugarmen was
that concealed" stocks were bigger
than normal
There's a lot of sugar stored
around" one said. 'Hoarding by
householders has taken a good deal
and some industrial users have quite
a bit on hand"
Under the rationing system those
householders with more than eight
weeks supplies will be unable to get
ration books.
Washington recognition of the sit
uation came in request from A. E.
Bowman, chief of the War Produc-
ton Boards sugar section, telling
industrial users of sugar the ration
ing plan would be hampered 'if ex-
cessive purchases by small industrial
users are not stopped"
U-Boats a Factor.
Submarine activity off the Atlantic
Coast, transfers of cargo ships tc
Government service and re-
luctance of ship owners to venture
into the danger area have combined
to put a premium on cargo space
One sugar broker said there had
been talk of carrying sugar by barge

Senate Group Urges
Immediate PASSAGE
OF Excise Tax Plan
Splitting Of Treosury's
Program Is Suggested
To Increase Revenue
Earlier Story on Page Ally

Earlier Story on Page A-11.)
The Senate Finance Commit
tee suggested today immediate
enactment of a ST 100000 900 ex-
else tax measure separate from
the general revenue bill now un-
der consideration.
1t instructed Chairman George to
confer with Chairman Doughton of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee on the matter.
The action was proposed by SEN
ator Brown, Democrat. of Michigan
who told Senate Committee mem
bers the Government was losing
revenue it otherwise might collect by
failing to increase excise taxes at
once. He pointed out that the Treas
ury had estimated the delay in en-
acting a similar separate measure
last year had cost more than $780,
100000 a month in collections.
Brown Urges Quick Collection.
The Treasury recommended the
levying of $1,344, 900, 900 in addition
al excise taxes on manufactured
articles as a part of it's general pro-
gram of raising s7,6l000 900 in new
revenue. This proposal however,
was linked in a general program
with stiff increases in individual and
corporation income taxes.
Senator Brown said that since it
was desirable to raise all Of the taxes
possible as soon as possible, the two
proposals ought to be split. Income
taxes would cover this years income
in any event.
Sales Tax Opposed.
Randolph Paul, Treasury tax ex-
pert, told the House Ways and
Means Committee today that a gen.
eral sales tax would have a very
inf1ationary effect" but on the other
hand, increased and new excise
taxes would not.
"A sales tax is inflationary COM
pared with income taxes" he said
But a sales tax Is not as infation-
airy as borrowing from banks; it
has direct effect on price ceilings.
Some committee members have
advocated a sales tax as substitute
for proposed sharply increased Ia
dividual and corporation levies.

Mr.. Wadsworth said later that he
knew nothing about the discus
sion of his possible appointment.
Il had never heard of such a re-
port until todav when I read it in

Stimson has made a most excellent
record as Secretary Of War"
Mr.. Wadsworth is held in high
esteem by his colleagues on both
sides of the Capitol. When he was in

After Charge
Defendant Required
To Give Complete
Report, Court Says

By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

by SAh En- bnOOhE JONLS.
The case of George Sylvester
Viereck, charged with failing to
report himself a propaganda
when he registered at the State
Department as a German agent,
went to a District Court jury at
2:5O pm. today.
The jury of two women and 10
men retired to deliberate after tur-
bulent trial that lasted II court days
and extended over two and a half
weeks.
Justice F. Dickinson Let's charged
the jury this afternoon on the law
governing the prosecution, which
was based on an alleged violation
of the Foreign Agents Registration
Act Of 1888
The court instructed the jurors
that the law required Viereck to give
a comprehensive report of his busi-
ness in registering as a foreign
agent. even if some of his activities
were not on behalf of German in
terests but were personal projects.
Incomplete Account Charged.
The Government charged that
Viereck, in his registration state
ments. did not carry out regulations
requiring such a complete account
of what he was doing. 1t was
brought out that he registered only
as author and journalist" describ-
ing his employers as the German
Library of Information, an organi-
zation supported by the Reich: a
Munich newspaper and writer who
had given Viereck the right to pub
lish and sell in this country a book
called The One Hundred Families
that Rule the British Empire"
The Government offered extensive
evidence intended to prove that
Viereck was flooding the country
with propaganda, some of it through
speeches by members Of Congress
Justice Let's told the jury ver-
dict of guilty would require it to
find Viereck had "willfully omitted"
to file "a comprehensive statement
of the nature of his business.
Free Speech Not Banned.
The law which Viereck was
charged with violating. the court
added, was not intended to impair
freedom of speech or Of the press.
Justice Let's added:
The American public is not to
be deprived of political information,
even it be propaganda
But he added that, as a public
policy, Congress had decided the
people were entitled to know the
source of foreign political propa-
ganda.
The courts charge followed the
closing summation for the Govern
ment in which Special Prosecutor
William Power Maloney f1ayed Vie
reck as the American apostle of
the murderous, lying rogues Of the

osOAy ohi L o6O Ap
BY the Associated Press
Hubertus J. Van Nook, lieuten-
ant governor-general of the
Netherlands Indies, declared late
today "it may be expected that
at any moment the attack on the
enemy will be launched from an
other side" by the Allies. The
statement was made as Japanese
invasion forces imminently
threatened to overrun the United
Nations stronghold of Java.
DR.. Van Nook did not explain
what he meant by another side"
whether he referred to embattled
Java or another sector of the Far
Pacific theater. Speaking before
the Peoples Council, he urged the
population to emulate Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's stand in the Philip
pines and concentrate on the de-
fense of certain areas where nature
gives us the opportunity to resist
the superior force"
AS he spoke the japanese had cap
tured al least six key towns, sharply
endangered both the abandoned
capital, Batavia, and the Allied
headquarters at Bandoeng, and
bombed the last possible harbor at
which United Nations reinforce
nents might arrive.
Stimson Says Planes Were Sent.
Dutch headquarters acknowledged
| that the enemy was advancing con-
tinually' with fierce battles now
raging all over the island
A communique said Jap bombeIs
also we're attempting to knock out
the port Of Tjilatjap, on the Java
south coast, to prevent either REIN
forcement or escape of the islands
defenders.
While dispatches from Java in
dicated that the Allies were gravely
handicapped by lack of air support,
Secretary of War Stimson declared
in Washington that material" aerial
reinforcements had been sent to the
embattled island within the past
week
Late reports said the japanese
had already gone far toward cutting
Java in two with the capture of
Soerakarta, a. junction point on the
Batavia -Soerabaja Railroad line,
only 35 miles from the south coast.
Allied Attack May Be Near.
The fall of Singapore, DR.. Van
| Nook said, has left the Dutch to
| face the superior Japanese strength
almost alone. But, he continued:
Il say practically alone, for it is
not true that our allies left us alto
gether This is not true, and it
may be expected that at any mo-
ment the attack on the enemy will
be launched from another side
There are American. Australian
and British forces in this country
which are fighting just as bravely
as our own men," he declared. The
battle so far has been against US.
All our efforts could not prevent
the enemy from landing consider
able forces on Java's north coast.
Whatever happens We may be
sure that the final victory will be
on our side. This war is one
big fight, and our victory can Just
as we'll be won in the waters of the
Pacific as on the wide plains of Rus
sia.
Every day that we hold out
brings us nearer to victory"
