STORES IN STATE
HIT BY WAVES OF
RATION SHOPPERS

CHARLOTTE, Jan. 8 Up The
OPA district office here today
reported that buying runs on shoe
stores had developed in Charlotte,
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and
Asheville.
Lee Hague, district information
officer, said such buying was un-
necessary because stocks are
ample to take care of outstanding
ration stamps, and stamps now
valid, he added, will not be can
celled.
Hague said Washington OPA Of
ficials had assured him by tele-
phone today they had no intention
Of cancelling current stamps.
The rush of buying was attri-
buted to rumors regarding the
shoe situation which followed the
recent tightening up of food ra-
tioning and the cancellation of
some ration stamps.

While all prospects indicate "a very early resumption of the issu- ance of sugar for home canning here in Connecticut, State OPA Di- rector Stanley Crute declared to- day that eir light of the acute shortage there is no chance that we can authorize the issuance of the limit all at once"
 At present, the agency with the assistance of its 180 War Price and Rationing Boards is estimating the consumption potential of home can- ming sugar from "an unexpectedly large number of applications now on file" Crute said.
 Early reports show that. instead Of marking to OPAs persistent re- minders that sugar is short and should be used sparingly, thousands of families many of them in in dustrial cities where home canning is normally a negligible item, have blooded boards with applications for the limit of 15 pounds per person, the OPA chief revealed.
 When you figure that the aver age application reviewed to date contains 3 names" Crute added, this means 45 pounds of sugar to a family. At a time when nothing is available for canning except ber- ries, and in view of the acute shortage, it's absolutely essential that we ask only for the sugar we need immediately"

Mrs. John G. Lee, state president of the League of Women Voters today communicated with Connect cuts two senators expressing the Leagues point of view with refer ence to H. R. 3240, which extends the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Program for three years. Mrs. Lee stated the following:
 Because the League of Women Voters believes it to be well estab- lished fact that increasing world trade will be of direct benefit to the economy and security of all nations, especially the United States, We are urging the passage again of the Re- ciprocal Trade Agreements Act with the three years extension. It seems to us that the renewal of this act is of such vast importance to the set clement of international economic problems that no special interest consideration should influence the continuation of this policy
 We feel that the Reciprocal Trade Program is a positive and construc- tive guarantee of international CO., operation and that without it as a

canning program, the agency will direct its Local Board to scan each application with the greatest care, the OPA head said, and well have to limit the first allotment of sugar to five pounds per person.
 Crute sees this limitation as work ing no hardship on the legitimate home canner. He points out that lever since this special issuance Of sugar began four seasons ago, regu- lationS always limited the amount of sugar that could be used for jams and jellies to 5 pounds per person."
 Referring to statistics that give each family in the State an aver age of four members, Crute pointed out that under the revised policy this will make family eligible for 20 pounds of sugar With which to put up berries.
 "Nutritionists estimate that with that much sugar a family can put up about 30 quarts of jams and jel- lies" he explained. At later date when other commodities are in sea- son, these families may then apply for more sugar. don't know how much they'll be allowed. It's too early to say. But we're doing our best to allot what's available to those who really intend to do some canning
