The action puts sizes 0 to a.

OPA said the demand for the
smaller sizes, largely because
they have not been rationed,

actual needs" with the result
that those sizes "have absorbed

The first action of the O'Brien
was shepherding so infantry

She then steamed off Cherbourg
; to lombard NaZi coastal gun po-
sitions. The little destroyer moved
in between the battleship Texas

so effectively that the German

SUGAR SHORTAGE
JUST STARTING
REAL PINCH WILL BE FELT
DURING FALL. AND
WINTER

CLEWISTON, July 10. - ems
In press statement this week
j. w. Moran, vice president and
geResa manager of the United
States Sugar Corp, stated that
the sugar shortage on civilian
markets of the United States sis
just beginning
The real pinch in the sugar sup
ply, he said, will be felt during
the fall and winter.
However, Moran set at rest re-
PORTS that the federal government
was holding back large stores of
refined sugar in warehouses, not
Using it for the armed services
and keeping it off the grocery
shelves.
We are moving our sugar rap
idly into the proper marketing
channels, military and civilian
Moran said. There is nothing to
those rumors."
Moran said the 1944-45 wealth
er conditions were responsible to
a large degree for the decline in
the amount of sugar available for
civilian consumers.
The Cuban production was
down from 100000 to 6,000,-
900 tons, because of drought" he
said land the same thing is true
of Puerto Rico. Moreover the
sugar beet yield was substantially
under previous years
The Hawaiian production held
up fairly well. but the military
situation there cut down on the
amount of sugar available for
shipment. There has been no sug-
ar available naturally from the
Philippines for several years"
The season for the United States
Sugar corporations processing
operations here begins about Oct.
LIST and continues through May.
The public can rest assured
he said, that we will do every
thing possible to provide lncrcas-
cd production of sugar to meet
the demands next season."
