 MEETING ON TODAY
Most FatefuI Session in A Years Opens = Many
 Important Issues

NEW YORK, Feb 2-Baseball's s most Hateful meeting in 24 years opened here today for the selection of a commissioner as the No. l problem.
 Not since 1921, when the majors established the office of Baseball Commissioner and installed the late Kenesaw Mountain Landis as baseball czar, have such important subjects been listed for action be- fore new chief executive has been selected.
 There must be major league agreement in establishing the powers, term and salary of the commissioner.
 A 10-man committee has been empowered to draw up a new code and this is to be handed to the American and National Leagues, in separate sessions this afternoon. If the leagues approve, joint &C., ton will be taken tomorrow
 Candidates for the position of commissioner will be discussed by the club owners and, spurred by the Brooklyn basketball scandal, will take a lead in keeping the sport of baseball free from any such scandal.

DID HE or
 DIDN'T HE!

Did the groundhog see his shadow his morning when he emerged from his hole, or didn't he?
 It all depends just where one is sitting.
 If he did see his shadow, he is supposed to have scampered right back into his hole and there is more winter coming.
 If he did not see his shadow, the little rascal remained out, and it is almost dollars to doughnuts that by nightfall he wished he had gone back, provided he came out any place where the gentle CD wind could toss him about. If he re- mained out there is only smack of winter remaining.

World Sugar Shortage
Will Be Worst Of
War This Year

The United States and other
countries which do not produce
enough sugar to meet their own
needs probably will feel the pinch
in supplies more in l945 than at
sny time since the war began, &C
cording to an Agriculture. Depart
ment survey.
Gustave Burmeister of the de-
partment's Once of Foreign Rela-
tions, author of the survey on world
sugar prospects, points out that the
difficulty this year is not entirely
one of total supply, but of dis
tribution.
Those areas that normally pro-
duce export SURPRISES will have
record large quantities available for
local consumption, while the i'm
porting countries will have to
tighten their belts. This situa ton
makes for critical shortages in the
important consuming countries
where rations have been in effect
throughout the war years" he
stated.
These areas include the United
States, the United Kingdom, Cam
ada, nearly all of Europe and the
Middle East
Such surplus producing sections
as the Caribbean, Australia and the
Union OF South Africa, together
with Mexico, Central and South
America. will have record large
quantities for consumption. Sup |
plies are readily available and the !
consumer purchasing power is high
in all these countries
While world production OF sugar
has not changed materially during
recent years, Mr. Burmeister said,
reserve stocks have been reduced 7
sharply during the past two years
and probably will be reduced to a
bare operating minimum at the end |
Of 1e45." Consumption in 1916. he .
predicted, will have to come entirely ,
from current production. !
