WPB Finds Beer Shortage,
Denies New Spirits Output

BY the Associated Press.
Reporting beer shortage in some
parts of the country, notably Cali
fornla, the War Production Board
at the same time today branded as
without foundation ''recurrent re-
ports that production of beverage
spirits might be resumed.
To provide beer for the armed
forces, WPB said, some brewers
have found it necessary to ration
sales to civilian customers at various
reductions, ranging from Is to Is
per cent of 1912 deliveries.
Through its Brewers Industry
Committee, the WPB is STUDYING
various proposals to conserve trans
portation facilities. One proposal
would restrict a brewers deliveries
to designated area. Possible al
ternatives include curtailment of
deliveries but without distance linn
itations.
In denying that whisky produc-
tlon might be resumed, WPB said
such reports were based on a pur-
ported lack of storage facilities for
industrial alcohol The agency added
however, that there is sufficient
tankage to store an additional 25,-
100000 gallons, and that this would
be increased shortly.
Industrial alcohol now in storage
averages 10000 900 gallons.

Secretary Jones, who as head of

AT current prices for the things
we can buy. there would be an excess
of some s43 900 100000 which is the
inflationary item in our whole econ

He advanced no suggestion as to
how best to siphon off the excess
income.
The Nations economy, he said
has not yet felt the seriousness of
what is going to happen to little
business, but little businesses are
beginning to dry up" and as 'condi-
tlons get worse and there are fewer
things to buy, sell and trade in,
more of them are going to dry up"

him by giving him some credit, or
