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

Many washington restaurants De-
gan today rationing sugar to pa
irons today as Federal ofdcials
worked on details of q Natiof1-w1de
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 a 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 a spoonful E
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 q conservation
measure for some time. but that not
until today did the one-bag limit
equivalent to "heaping spoonful') ,
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 as the GUS
toners went down the cafeteria line
ii 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 shortage Of one-third
In the sugar supply, which in l94l
was sufficient to provide a per capita
home consumption of a pound and
Q half each week.
He limited 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 q person
In 1g41. will be cut to q pounds.
Mr.. Henderson said sugar sup
plies from all sources this year
probably will total $500 900 short
tons, compared with 1889 900 in
194l. In normal times the United
States obtains 100000 tons q 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
Cuban sugar will 90 to the Allies

DAVE ELMAN AT STATE THEATER'
Hobby Lobby Director to Inaugurate Victory
 Auction" Tonight

N
 Dave Elman, conductor of radios Hobby Lobby" program, will ap- pear in person on the stage of the warner Brothers State Theatre Thursday night, starring in the first of a series of four Victory Auction" broadcasts over WATR. Planned as major part of Waterbury's Salute to Our Heroes Month" it is ex- pected that the September series of ''Victory Auctions will assure the Brass City of exceeding it's War Band Quota for the month.
 Dave Elnan originated the "Vic- tory Auction" Idea quite by accident several months ago during Hobby Lobby" broadcast. One of his guests, who made handbags as Q hobby, de- cided to give five of them away as souvenirs to members of the studio audience. On the spur of the nlo- ment, Elman auctioned oil the handbags and gave them to the five highest bidders for War Bonds. Five members of the studio audience bought SS,l00 worth of bonds to get the bags. ,"
 Since that first auction, Elman has continued with increasing suc- cess the Victory Auctions. Each week thousands of dollars worth of War Savings Bonds are sold to his studio audience in New York City and reports from various sec tons of the country show that the auction plan for the sale of War Bonds is rapidly gaining favor throughout the United States.
 When MT. Elman was approached for permission to use his auction idea in Waterbury, he very gener- ously offered to come to the Brass City in person to conduct series of four broadcasts over WATR from the stage of the State Theatre.
 A collection of worthwhile gifts will be placed on the auction block" every Thursday night at 8:30 and members of the theatre audience will be invited to place their bids in the form of War Bonds. Microphones will be placed strategically throughout the au- dience so that the bids will be heard by the radio listeners at home.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully will be present at the first broadcast on Thursday night to give the city's official welcome to the visiting radio star.

NAYS SEEKING TO
 CONTROL DAKAR
Want to Put Dive BOmbers There; Split in France
 Over Proposal

At the Trench Frontier, Sept. 3. (UP)-Germany was reported to- day in advices from unoccupied France to be seeking permission to station dive bomber squadronS at Dakar.
 The demand was said to have been placed before Premier Pierre Laval by Otto Abetz, Adolf Hitler's emissary in France, last Thursday at conference held at Meyers, just north of Moulins, in the occpied zone.
 The German demand, it was re- ported, brought a threat by Pierre Boisson, French high commissioner for West Africa, to resign his post if the Nazis are allowed to send planes to Dakar.
 This was said to have been the reason for Boisson's airplane trip to vichy early this week to confer with Marshal Henry Philippe Petain.
 Lavals conference with Abetz was said to have lasted several hours.
 The Germans were represented as fearing that Dakar may be attacked at any moment by an Anglo-Amer- ican expeditionary force.
 Boisson, it was said, threatened to quit his post becaSe he is attempt ing to keep control of Dakar strictly in French hands and opposes inter vention either by the Axis or the Allies.
 Boisson, it was said. agreed to permit the Germans to send dive bombers to Dakar provided they sent no pilots with the machines. The Germans, however, refused to ac- cept this proposal.
 It was reported that If Boisson should resign 1t might be the sig- nal for a sudden wave of revolt throughout the French West Africa,
 Meantime, 1t was unrerstood, the Germans have launched an inten- siye propaganda campaign to pro mote the idea that Dakar is threat ened by the Americans and British The German also circulated reports that American forces are planning to seize the Canary, Cape Verde and Azores Islands.
