Bus Lines Plan
Huge Program

Kennewick's new bus depot
opened this week is a part Of a
tremendous building progra m
planned by inter-city bus COM
panies.
Forty-two million dollars will
be expanded by the nations bus
lines for the construction and re-
modelling of terminals and garages
as soon as wartime restrictions are
lifted, according to figures re-
leased today by the National AS
ISOLATION of Motor Bus Operators.
This is more than the industry's
entire existing investment in facil-
tiles of this type.
In addition to construction
work, the industry will purchase
approximately 5000 motor coaches
at cost Of 500 million. The
planned expenditure for new
buses was disclosed in a previous
survey conducted by the associa-
ton. With another $40 million
earmarked for rehabilitating pres
ent equipment, the immediate
postwar expenditures of the inter-
city bus industry will total in ex-
cess Of $40 million.
New terminals, which are
planned for small towns as well
as metropolitan cities. will cost
$24 million and another SO mil
lion will be spent for new garage.
buildings. Remodeling of present
terminals to provide more modern
facilities for the convenience and
comfort Of highway travellers win
cost two and one half million dol
lars. Nearly one and one-half mil
lion dollars will be spent for the
modernization Of garage build
ings and two and one-half million
dollars will be devoted to the pur-
chase Of garage machinery. Build
ings to house offices for the oper-
ating companies will cost one and
one-half million dollars to con-
struct.
The tremendous backlog of j
and building needs,
which will give employment to !
many thousands Of returning serv-
icemen, results from the wartime
demands for essential transporta-
ton and the industry long stand
ing policy of continuous replace
ment and Improvement of its IA
cilities. All construction work has
been deferred since Pearl Harbor.
During the war, the passenger
count on highway buses has quad
rupled, although equipment made
available through government
agencies has been far short Of the
ndustry's actual needs.

Increased Demand for Sugar
Finds Worlds Supply Short

The world demand for sugar has
increased with the liberation of
countries in Europe and Pacific
islands, but because of labor short
ages, the Japanese conquest of
sugar-producing islands and over
consumption in this country last
year. the world supply has declined.
That briefly sums up the situa-
ton which finds this everyday COM
modify high on the scarcity list and
second only to meats and fats and
oils.
The world stocks of sugar at the
beginning of this yeah were 4,l00, 900
tons, lowest point in many years.
The carryover a year earlier was
5,500,000 tons and in 1943 it was
6,500,0 tons. The total world pro-
duction Of sugar this year is esti-
mated at 10000, 900 tons, a drop of
100000 tons from last year. This
reduction would not have been too
bad were it not for the lower carry
over.
For the United States the 1914
cdFTyoVer was l,Io6,OUU tons, but on
January Of this year it had
dropped to 1,226,000 tons. Only
about one-fourth of the American
sugar supply is produced domesti-
cally: the rest comes from Cuba
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and other su-
gar-producing areas.
Isolated factors in many parts OF
the world-they seem isolated at
least at first-all combined to bring
about the sugar shortage confront
ing Allied food planners today.
Philippine Loss Important.
With the fall of the Philippines
this country lost nearly 1000, ,00C
tons of sugar year. Today we are
