UNITED STATES NOT
SHIPPING SUGAR TO
SPAIN, GREW STATES

WASHINGTON, July 12.-R)-
Acting Secretary of State Joseph
C. Grew said today that the
United States currently is ship
ping no sugar to Spain.
In response to questions Grew
said there was a joint British
American supply agreement to
send 10000 tons to Spain during
the first half of 1945. The sugar,
however, was supplied from Bri-
fish sources in the Caribbean, he
said, and was transported on
Spanish ships. 3D..
In return, Spain agreed not to
enter the world market for any
ether sugar, Grew added.
The acting secretary said he
understood the 30,O0O-ton total was
not only below Spanish require
ments, but was 40 per cent less
than Spain received under a
similar arrangement in the last
six months of 1914.

M0RCENTHAU IRE

WASHINGTON, July II. - O.D -
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., today disclosed
the tax evasion case of Wiscon-
sin war contracto which, he said,
is more shocking than the al
legged evasion of a large New York
restaurant chain owner.
The Treasury revealed several
weeks ago that an unnamed New
York restauranteur owes roughly
So, 900, 900 in income taxes ard that
to evade payment he had cached
millions of dollars in cash.
Morgenthau said that W n
Treasury representatives came to
Washington recently for conference
on the Wisconsin case they had
nearly 300 pounds of files against
the contractor.
He said the case involves Under
stated and suppressed reports OF
sales, padded reports of purchas-
es, padded payrolls, diversion to
private accounts of firm members
and the use of materials and man
power to build a private residence
for a member of the firm.
He also revealed that within the
last few weeks voluntary dis
closures and amended returns of
previously filed tax reports, have
been coming in at rapid pace
as a result of the Treasury's drive
against wartime chiselers.
