FERGUSON MAKES
LIQUOR CHARGE
Senator Claims Inferior
RUNS, Gins Being Fore
ed On The People

WASHINGTON, May s. lR -
Senator Ferguson (R-Mic1O declar
ed angrily today that because o
a "cartel arrangement" between
Cuba and the War Production
Board, inferior" runs and gin!
are being sold to American con
sumers "at high prices"
Questioning Walter Whitman
head OF the WPB chemical divi
sion at a session OF the Senate
liquor investigation comnlii ,ssse
Ferguson asked why WPB limited
importations OF beverage alco-
hol from Cuba to 100000 PROOF
gallons this year.
Whitman said the Foreign Eco
nomic Administration urged the
order on the ground that if i'm
portations or runs and gins was
curbed, "it would make so much
more cuban molasses and ssa:
available for industrial alcohol"
Asserting it was "a cartel ar
rangement, Ferguson declared
that its effect had been to permit
Cuba to ship its full quota of AL
cohol beverage in gins and runs
and the Schenley's, one of the
United States big four" distil.
leries, is the biggest purchaser oil
these beverages.
Whitman confined reports that
there had been a request from
Cuba that no alcohol imported
from there be used for whiskey
blending in this country. However
he said any report that the United
States government had OK'd this
request was "a baseless runor.' -
Senator McCarran (D-Nev), com.
mittee chairman, said he would
call in State Department and FEA
officials later for an "explana-
tom of the request.
mot so long ago the distillers
offered to buy ali the commercial
alcohol (cane) in Cuba and trade
it to you for pure grain alcohol
whit which to make whisky in this
country" McCarran told Whitman.
Whitman: said he understood one

such a plan.
Wasn't it rejected?" McCa-ran
