Sugar

Washington. May 22-UP- The
House Food Committee today
warned that the nations sugar
bowl is rapidly emptying and urged
prompt establishment of a sugar
cZar.
In 5.00O-word unanimous re-
port filed last night by Chairman
Clinton P. Anderson, D., N. NJ, the
committee criticized the present
government program which scat
tiers sugar controls among 20 agen-
cies.
Repeatedly calling for protection
OF American consumers, the report
recommended immediate review OF
all promises OF sugar shipments
for foreign countries and ADJUST
ment of these commitments to
Safeguard domestic users.
II the United States lives up to
its foreign commitments American
civilians will be left holding a near
empty sugar bag, the report de-
clared.
Il asked that the public be fully
informed on all domestic and for

It favored aiding liberated coun'
tries and neutrals to restore their
sugar production, rather than toe

hydrates. particularly cereals
might be substituted for sugar
shipments. the report stated.
The committee suggested ina
the armed forces be informed OF
the growing scarcity and be asked
to slash their demands where pos
sible.

General Vote
to be Asked
.byChurchin
fBy the Assoclated Pressl

(By the Associated fTess)
Premier Minister Churchill was
expected today to ask King George
vi to dissolve parliament, thereby
numbering the days of the coalition
government which had guided Bri-
tain since the dark weeks OF 1912
and preparing the country for its
first general election in 10 years.
This major British political de
yelopment, precipitated by the La
Dor party's decision to withdraw
from the coalition government now
that victory in Europe had been
achieved, was viewed by London
newspapers as postponing a meet
ing OF the Big Three until late July
or August.
Vote in July
Political circles predicted that
parliament would be given about
three weeks to wind up its affairs
and the election would be fixed for
July 5-provided Churchill acts by
Thursday. II he delays until May
30, the alternate date for the cleo
ton probably will be July IL.
There have been demands re-
Gently both in Britain and America
for another meeting of the lead
ers OF the three major Allied pow
ers to iron out political and bound
airy issues that have sprung up in
the wake OF the war Churchill
and President Truman both have
expressed a willingness to gather
around conference table with Pre-
mier MAyshal Stain.
Tension Eases =
The tension engendered by the
Yugoslav occupation Of territory
in northeastern Italy and south
ern Austria appeared to have eased
somewhat today. Diplomatic
sources close to the British foreign
office said that the situation was
definitely improved and that
there were indications of an early
solution.

10 was believed in London that
the Yugoslavs were prepared 10
agree to a peaceful but temporary
settlement Of the dispute and would
press their territorial claims at
the peace conference. So abrupt
was Tito's about-face that there
was some speculation that he might
have received a friendly suggestion
from Moscow to change his stand.

 WAR BOND SLOGAN
Winner of Competition in Selecting Remark 10 Be
 Announced Shortly

Washington, D. C., June 28 - The result of a recent contest among newspapermen to select a quotation from the late President oosevelt's speeches to be imprinted on spe- cial War Bond planned for issue in the 9th War Loan, will be an- nounced by Secretary of the Treas ury Morgenthau during a broadcast over the NEG on Friday, June 29 from l0:45 to 11:00 p. m., EWT. The newspaperman who submitted the winning quotation, selected by Associate Justice Roberts of the Supreme Court who acted as judge of the contest, will receive a War Bond from the Secretary.
 Decision to issue special Roose- welt War Bond during the 9th War Loan was made by President Tru- man and Secretary Morgenthau during conference in which the question was discussed of how best to grant the glamour throughout the country for War Bond mem- orial to the late President. It was decided that because Washington newspapermen are most familiar with all of MT. Roosevelt's utter ances they should suggest a quota tion to be used on the Bond. Sec retary Morgenthau then offered War Bond prizes for the three most appropriate quotations.

Hartford Papers Eulogize
 Late Judge Frank McEuoy
JUDGE FRANK P. McEvOY

JUDGE FRANK P. McEVOY
 Form r-Governor Trumbull's opinion upon appointing Frank P. McEToy to the bench of the Su- perior Court, to the effect that his appointee seemed "a logical suc- cessor" to Judge L. P. Waldo Mar win, was fully substantiated by Judge McEvoy's career as jurist. Twice since that recess appoint ment was made in 1930 Judge McEvoy has been nominated by succeeding Governors irrespec- lively of their political affiliations, and twice he had been over- whelmingly confirmed by the General Assembly. He won the re- spect of his associates and of the attorneys practicing in his court.
 The high estimate of his col- leagues on the bench was express ed in their assignment of Judge McEvoy to organize and direct the States probation system and his designation to preside over ap- peals from the Juvenile Court in which he had shown special in- terest. This indeed was a heavy responsibility, testing to the limit the jurist's fine sense of balance between the literal application of the law and the desirability that at times mercy should season jus tice. In no other sector of the ju- dicial field does the judge touch the home and influence the di- rection of defendants lives so in- timately as in questions arising from juvenile delinquency. That Judge McEvoy should have been deemed especially adapted for this work was superb tribute to his character and personality. The confidence his associates express ed and reposed in him was never betrayed. In his death the State has truly lost, as Chief Justice Maltbie has said, "one who served it long and faithfully" and who,
