WPB Bans Use Of Corn
For Grain Alcohol

BY the Associated Press.
This War Production Board today
banned the use of corn in the
manufacture of grain alcohol in
order to save dwindling corn sup
plies for production of starch and
starch products used widely in war
industry.
Some Midwestern corn refining
plants have shut down for lack of
corn. WPB admitted the action
would not save much corn because
most distillers already have shifted
to wheat.
The action was taken through
amendment of the WPB order con-
verting all liquor distillers to the
production of industrial alcohol. 1t
applies to all producers of distilled
spirits and so-called high wines" "
which are raw whiskies suitable for
further distillation into industrial
