Individual Sugar
Ration Unchanged
Commodity May Be Harder
To Get In 1916, However

Individual sugar rations will con-
tinue to be five pounds in the -four
months from January through April
but housewives may find it harder to
get sugar in January and February
the OPA announced.
With valuation of a new sugar
stamp, Number 80, on January /, the
OPA expects shortage which will be
most noticeable on the East Coast.
Sugar alIotments to industrial users
generally will be at the same levels
for the first quarter of 1916 as at
present the OPA statement said.
The only exception will be for such
products as jams, jellies, marmalades
and fruit buffers. OPA said an adj
justment applicable to some producers
of these products now is being pre-
pared and will be announced shortly.
Sugar allotments for institutions
during the January-February period
will be computed on the same per
meal allowance as at present, OPA
said, and there will be no change in
the rate of refreshment allotments.
Shipments of new crops of Carib-
bean sugar are not expected in sub
stantial volume until March l, accord
ing to the Agriculture Department.
OPA said that this meant that only
about one half Of the ALLEGATIONS made
for the first quarter would be avail
able during January or February, es-
pecially for the East Coast, which nor
mally depends on Caribbean sources.

Doomed Nazi Garrison Is GrumbIing Before Big
 Onslaught by Soviets

LONDON, Jan 2-The fall of Buda, the western section of the Danube straddling Budapest, ap- peared to be only a matter of hours as the doomed Nazi garrison crum- pled before attacking Russian forces utilizing virtually every weapon known to modern warfare.
 A communique, broadcast from Moscow, said the greatly outnum- bered German and Hungarian de- lenders lost more than 1000 men killed yesterday in savage street fighting, which has been com pressed into an area less than four miles wide and a mile deep.
 A Cairo broadcast last night said all Germans have been driven from Buda but there is no confirmation by Russian and German sources. The communique also said that Soviet forces occupied 200 addi- tional blocks of Buda yesterday bringing to 600 the number now under Russian domination.
 Moscow reports said new of- fensive against Austria is expected to get underway as soon as the conquest of Budapest is completed

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR, Jan 2-Pacific Fleet Headquarters, announcing new air strikes against Japanese bases, de- clared in a 1944 review that the enemy's homeland is now open to fleet attack.
 The new raids included the 24th consecutive daily attack Saturday .on the Two Jima base, the Vol cano Island approach to Tokyo.
 All of Japan's defensive arc from the Kuriles to Manila, the review asserted, is now within effective range of fleet and shore-based air craft. B-29 Superfortress bombers have already penetrated this arc numerous times to strike Tokyo and other Japanese industrial centers
 The review cautioned, however that the decisive battle, the great est battles, the hardest battles of the Pacific war are still to come The enemy, like ourselves, has just begun to fight

 The FBI announced that it had arrested two men, one an American, landed by a U-boat November 29, near a lonely Maine fishing vil- lage
 FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said the men, arrested several days ago in the New York area, came ashore in a rubber boat at night after a German sub had lain off the Maine coast for week.
 The men, Hoover said, carried $60,000 in American money, auto matic pistols, compass, camera, secret inks and a variety of draft and Navy discharge papers.

 Hoover identified the alleged es- pionage agents as William Curtis Colepaugh, 26, United States citizen of Mantle, Conn, and Erich Gimpel 35, German radio engineer from South America.
 The landing was made at Han cock Point in Frenchmans Bay, Maine, Hoover said, adding that the men supplied the full story of their activities since coming ashore.
 Commenting u the arrests and the recent discoveries of two Jap balloons in oregon and Montana, which he said might have carried spies instead of explosives, Hoover declared that these are evidence of an espionage and sabotage offen- sive against the entire American hemisphere.
 Colepaugh served in the U. s. Navy until discharged in 1922 flor convenience to the government. He went aboard the Swedish ex- change ship Gripsholm as a mess boy. leaving the ship at Lisbon, where he offered his services to the Nazis, Hoover said.

BYrnes Would Force All 4-Fs
 To War Roles
Manpower Proposal Edge Close To Work or
 Fight" Act

WASHINGTON, Jan 2-Drastic manpower proposals edging closer to the work or fight" act that lawmakers have long avoided, were thrown into the battle of the home front.
 Advanced by Byrnes, the program will force 4-F men into war roles and put statutory teeth into man. power rules if present labor con- trols fail to spur the nations ar mament output to needed levels.
 The suggestions, made by Byrnes last night in his first report as Director of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion, are still merely threats. They moreover are at the mercy of congress which has shown a reluctance to interfere in a mans freedom to choose his work
 But war agency officials prophe- sled that the whip cracking docu- ment would add momentum to the home front effort merely by dis closing the sternness of enforce ment measures the administration is willing to support.
 Flatly predicting that larger draft calls in the next few months would aggravagate the manpower shortage, Byrnes proposed stern measures for 4-Fs not doing es- sential work and proposed that Congress make it possible to induct them all, then assign them things they can do" despite physical i'm pairment. This might mean limited service in the Army or the steering of inductees into jobs in critical war plants.

The W ashing ion Merry y-Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON ut Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON - The controver- sial question of ceiling prices on cattle on the hoof was postponed before election, but is now due for a real showdown Behind this are strikes by small meat packers in New York and New Jersey, plus increasing strikes by meat dealers. If the question is not settled, the entire meat price structure is faced with complete breakdown.
 Bringing the question to a head, OPA Administrator Chester Bowles sent Economic Stabilizer Vinson and War Food Administrator Jones emphatic demands for setting of ceiling prices on live cattle. He told them bluntly that if this is turned down the price control of meat will no longer be possible.
 Difficulty is that there is strict price control on slaughtered meat, from the slaughterer through the retailer. But there is no ceiling on live cattle. Meat packers claim that they have to pay so much for live cattle that there is no margin of profit if they sell within the ceiling price.
 Farmers, however, claim that there is something wrong some place, because they are not getting enough for live cattle to pay for feed. The meat packer claims he has to pay 1872 cents a pound for live cattle, but receives only 21 to B cents a pound from the Army which leaves no profit for him. However, farmers claim that in- stead of receiving 1872 cents a pound on the hoof, the net price paid them by the slaughterers runs several cents less.
 Most meat packers claim they are selling at loss. What they don't admit, however, is that some of them sell the meat which they don't sell to the Army to civilians in the black market. About 50 per cent of their choice cuts go to the Army and about 40 per cent of their choice cuts are left over for civilians.
 Meanwhile, the small butchers, forced to stick to ceiling prlcesi cannot afford to buy black market meat and are up against it.
 This is the knotty problem which OPA Boss Chester Bowles has dropped in the lap of Food Ad- ministrator Jones and Price Sta bilizer Vinson.

WASHINGTON, Jan 2-There's one division of the War Depart ment that will boom when the war is over. It's the Adjutant Generals Office. AGO has charge of all Army records and it's number of papers on file will run into billions as soon as this war is history
 AGO started this war with about 900 employees. It now has more than nine times that and at this moment could use nearly 1,200 more workers. But once the war is over the filing department alone will have to be tripled.
 In AGO'S files are the complete records of every man and woman in the Army, of all civilians who do work or have worked for the War Department. Eventually, it will have the records of all war con- tracts, the files of disbanded war agencies, commissions, the hospital records of all patients injured in service. The records alone, unless would take up most of the gargantuan Pentagon build ing. About a third of AGO's em- ployees have been decentralized, but the plan is to bring them back here if space can be found after the war.

PARIS, Jan. 2.-The Third Army broadened to a mile and half it's arrowhead pointed across the mar row waist of the Belgian bulge north of Bastogne.
 In the great continuing battle to split the German salient, American infantry, tanks and planes exacted a great and growing toll in Von Rundstedt's material. The Germans lost fully l10 tanks and armored vehicles. POS planes and hundreds of other implements of war.
 Below Bastogne, Patton widened to six miles the corridor feeding his main offensive threat by capturing the villages of Houmont, five and a half miles southwest, and Chenonge, four miles southwest of the road center.
 At the last report, the Third Army was B miles from the United States First Army. flanking the north side of the bulge
 COuntcrattacks Repulsed
 Supreme Headquarters said two German counterattacks had been repulsed in the area of Camps. three miles northwest of Bastogne and near the Viller La Bonne Eua, five miles southwest. The communique reported progress northeast of Moircy, a much-exchanged hamlet.
 Won Rundstedt's attacks against the U. s. Seventh Army around Bitche and eastward to and along the Rhine appeared at a preliminary appraisal to have netted little gain. The thrust was probably the first of several strong diversionary aef- forts as the German leader is still throwing most of his strength into the Belgian bulge. He is bracing the hard defensive lines at Hubert and Wiltz and is persisting ill counterttacks around Bastogne.
 Gigantic Test
 Next moves in the gigantic test of men, strategy and machines is not yet apparent. It is plain, however, that Von Rundstedt has been hurt by the sustained heavy Allied air
