Civilian Sugar Allotment
For 1916 Remains Same
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department an
nounced yesterday that it has allo-
Gated sufficient sugar for civilians
for the first quarter of 1916 Ito
maintain rationing at present
levels
The department said, however,
the world supply of sugar in 1916 is
expected to be about the same as in
l945 and there is little likelihood
that sugar will be removed from
rationing for some time to come. -
The announcement came a few
days after congressional critics of
the Governments sugar program
had urged an increase in the pres
ent ration of pounds for four
months per person for home use.
This allowance is exclusive of spe-
cial canning allotments.
The department said on the basis
of allocations and distribution so
far, civilian per capital consump-
ton in 1945 will average about u
pounds compared with SO pounds
in 1914 and an average of 96 pounds
in the 1859 prewar period.
Looking to the future, the depart
ment said 1916 production may in
crease little, but stocks have been
reduced to minimum

Priority TO Veterans

The Surplus Property Administra-
ton today was reported ready to
release demountable houses and
other surplus buildings to the States

fit the District very little now, it was

The order would include barracks,
cantonments, demountable houses
and similar property. II the emer-
gency housing were to be made
available for occupancy under the

maintain the properties, it was said.
Presumably, the property first
would be turned over to the Fed
eral Public Housing Authority, op-
Grating agency for Federally owned
war housing, and would, in turn, be
offered to States and local commun-
tiles.
