Sugar Shortage
To Last Even
After War

Ending of the war with japan
would give civilians Eat best, only
slight increase in sugar for some
time spokesman for the Agricul-
ture Department said.
If the war folds soon, and the
Army is reduced rather rapidly, it is
conceivable the sugar allowance for
civilians will be increased a small
amount" he told reporters.
Department figures show consump-
tion OF sugar in continental United
States during the first six months of
this year totaled 3,336,012 tons-an
increase of 132,359 tons over the
same period in 1914.
This was despite ration cuts for
both industrial and civilian use.
In 1914, civilians were allowed "a
pounds person while industrial use
was set at 80 percent of the .941
use. In 1916, successive cuts in ra-
lions have brought the civilian per
capita allowance to a present rate of
B pounds and industrial use to SO
percent of 1941. In addition, nome
canning allowances were cut for
1945.
The Department spokesman said
stocks of sugar of 6S4,02O tons ON
July l were "a dangerously low lev
ell" noting that stocks year pre-
vious were 1,286,S22 tons and in nor
NAL years averaged around ], 100000
in midyear
He said the consumption for the
first half of 1916 exceeded the
amount allocated by the War Food
Administration and asserted:
This was probably due to over
liberality of some ration boards, to
certain amount of counterfeit SUI
gar stamps and other reasons"

HAY FEVER
SEASON
is HERE

Thousands of hay fever sufferers
are now confronted with the season
VIXEN their malady is most prevalent
which dates from August Is, usually
designated as the beginning of the
season.
During the six weeks starting
about the middle of this week, rag
weed pollen is in the air in sufficient
quantity to bring accute discomfort
to the many individuals who are al
lergic to it.
About SO percent of the hay fever
sufferers who are afflicted in the late
summer are allergic to ragweed pol
len. Roughly two-thirds of the hay
fever cases occur in this season,
while most of the others occur in the
spring, when grass pollen are in the
air. A few others suffer from tree
pollen, but they are estimated at only
l percent of the total of hay fever
sufferers.
While there is no known cure for
hay fever, tie most satisfactory re-
lief is obtained by injections of ex-
tracts from the offending pollen,
physicians say. NEGOTIATIONS are US
ually started two or three months be-
fore the offending pollen starts to fill
the air.
Authorities claim that most aller-
gic persons, including those suffering
from hay fever, inherit the ailment
The one-third of allergic people
who suffer from grasses find the
ckief offenders are timothy, orchard,
June, red top and sweet vernal. The
trees which spread the pollen that
bothers some allergics are maple,
oak, sycamore, and poplar.

|Braden Confirmation
Vote Again Deferred
by Senate Committee

The American diplomat who has
been one of the most outspoken
critics of Argentina's military re-
gime had one thing in common with
the regimes strong man" today
they both are on the official side
lines.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, for the second straight
week, yesterday delayed action on
the nomination of Spruille Braden
to be Assistant Secretary of State
in charge of Latin American affairs
The committee probably will not act
for at least another week.
Committee Defers Vote.
AS Ambassador to Argentina, Mr.
Braden spoke out firmly against the
regime dominated by Col. Juan D.
Peron and encouraged its demo-
cratic opponents in Buenos Aires.
Col. Peron's resignation had been
expected to spur Senate approval Of
Mr.. Bradens promotion, but the
committee deferred a vote after re-
viewing the Argentine situation with
Mr. Braden for the second time in a
closed session yesterday.
Some committee members were
beginning to show irritation at the
delay, privately expressing concern
that it might be interpreted as op-
position to the democratic policies
Mr.. Braden stands for.
Want to Be Consulted.
The committees tactics were at
tributed to a desire on the part of
some other members to impress on
the State Department that they
want to be consulted in advance on
any major foreign policy moves.
They were said to have been irked
when the State Department moved
to postpone an inter american con-
ference which had been scheduled
for october 20 in Rio de Janiero
before consulting the committee.

Jackson Leaves Berlin
To Go TO Nuremberg 10
Question Wiedemann
Ey the Associated Press

by Inc ASSOcldted Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 1l.-Justice Robert
H. Jackson left a preliminary ses-
sion Of the international war crimes
tribunal here yesterday and flew to
Nuremberg to question Capt. Fritz
Wiedemann, former German consul
general in San Francisco and one of
Hitlers earliest disciples.
Wiedemann, arrested recently in
Tientsin, China, is not among the
"a major Nazis facing indictment by
the tribunal, but is expected to give
evidence against his former associ-
ates IN the Nazi hierarchy.
The sudden departure of Justice
Jackson, who is the American mem
Der of the prosecution, coupled with
the fact that Wiedemann was flown
all the way from China to Nuern-
berg, gave support to the belief that
his testimony would be of prime i'm
portance.
't'he tribunal whose meetings here
are prelude to the Nuremberg
trials, again yesterday delayed the
PRONUNCIATION of a 20,O00-word in
dictment against the "a defendants.
Filing of the indictment, origin
ally scheduled for Tuesday, has been
held up because of the absence of
Russian members of the court.
On Tuesday Russian Judge Gen.
I. T. Nikitchenko was late in ar
irving. Yesterday Russian Prose-
cutor A. V. Rudenko, who had left
the meeting Sunday for London,
thinking that his presence was no
longer required, caused the delay.

Indictments to Charge Nozis
Woqed War on Own PEOPLE

NEW YORK, Oct. IL GA Lon
don dispatch to the New York Post
said today the four-power indict-
ment of "a top Nazis for trial at
Nuremberg would establish the prin-
ciple that Germany criminally waged
war against her own people as well
as others.
The indictment, drawn up by
American, British, Russian and
French legal staffs, is to be presented
to Hermann Goering and his %
fellow defendants soon, probably
next week.
"The whole Nazi party-its ruses
its aggreSsionS and its raw brutality
will be condemned, the Post said
THE document, of considerably
more than 100 pages, has been
months in the making. But in its
present form it establishes what
would appear to be unprecedented
in international law-that Germany
waged aggressive war not only
against the people of other countries
but also against her own people"

ress in science under government
direction whereas there seems to be
some feeling here that Government
aid would Stifie advancement.
Mr.. Wallace replied that in Soviet
Asia, scientific regulation lis not
nearly so strict as people think"
Generally in Soviet Asia, Mr.. Wal
lace declared, Il was utterly amazed
at the extraordinary emphasis
placed on science even in the lowest
grades of school in the re-
motest corners of the country"
In discussing atomic bombs, Sec
retary Wallace said he was in ac-
cord with President Truman's s state
mept that "the hope of civilization
lies in arrangements looking, if pos
sible, to the remuneration of the use
and development of the atomic
bomb"
Drive for Control Opens.
AS Mr.. Wallace testified, a drive
to give Congress- firm control over
the atomic bomb began in the House
Military Affairs Committee.
Backed by most Republican and a
few Democratic members, it took the
form of an amendment to forbid a
proposed atomic energy commission
from dealing with foreign govern
ments in any way that might allow
the bomb secret to leak out.
ANY such dealing could be carried
on only with specific approval of
Congress.
AS drafted by the administration,
the pending bill to set up the COM
mission would permit it to grant
foreign licenses for atomic expert
ments if the President approved.
Another amendment drafted by
a group of committee members
would forbid the President himself
to give the bomb secret to a foreign
government without congressional
approval.
