 If Ambassadors
 Charges Are True

Washington, Oct. 9-(UP)-The United States will apologize if in- vestigation shows that Soviet Am bassador Nikolai Novikov was treat ed rudely on his return to this country from Paris, informed quart CTS indicated today.
 In a strong note to the State De- partment, the Soviet Embassy pro- tested that Novikov was handled dis courteously by Customs officials at New York Friday in what it called an "unheard of breach of diplomatic immunity" Under-secretary of State Dean Acheson promptly ordered an investigation.
 Customs Commissioner William R. Johnson said Novikov was extended "all the usual diplomatic courtesies" and that his baggage was passed without examination within Is min utes after it reached officers at La Guardia Airport.
 Informed quarters here said the Russian ambassador was within his rights in insisting upon prompt and COuIlSOuS Cttdl dllCt Uut a 4cCIll1B persisted that perhaps the incident had been a bit magnified. Novikov is a stickler for diplomatic niceties.
 The Soviet note said that Novikov was subjected to the same restric- tions as other passengers without regard to his diplomatic immunity; was prevented from telephoning the Soviet Consul in New York; held for more than an hour until he signed certain forms; and that his luggage was held even after he himself was released.
 The Soviet Embassy said it ex- pected the State Department to in- vestigate the incident immediately, bring those responsible to account. and prevent similar incidents in the future.
 Ambassadors customarily are free from most customs regulations but normally sign statements enumerat- ing their luggage.
 Customs Commissioner Johnson said the declaration Novikov was re- quired to sign is the same one Presi-

Strikes Keep Sugar Deorth InConfusion
 Shipping Tieup,
 Howoiion WoIkout
 Make Lack Acute
lBY United Pressl

New York had an acute shortage of sweets today and sugar brokers said it might spread through the nation if the shipping strike con- tinues.
 The supply of sugar also was short in Washington and Boston, and the OPA indicated that 1t might hike the price of penny Icandy," the source of satisfaction for the moppet's sweet tooth.
 OPA officials agreed at meet ing with packaged candy manufac- turers in Washington yesterday that higher prices for sugar and chocolate would have to be passed on to consumers. This could be done either by higher prices or smaller pieces of candy.
 Refineries Closed
 New York sugar refineries were closed and sugar brokers reported their supplies almost exhausted. The New York trucking strike con- tributed to the local confusion. New York bakeries sold cakes without icing, cafes offered coffee with Saccharin or no sWeetenlng at all, and grocers said there was little chance of supplies being replenish- ed in time to allow housewives to use sugar stamps nine and ten.
 "The situation is the darkest l have ever seen in the sugar bus- iness," said Morris Fuchs, a broker. There is no sign of an early break ,
 Hiawaiians Strike
 Hawaiian plantation workers went on strike on Sept. l. No sugar has been imported from Cuba since the start of the shipping strike.
 Sugar was reported a rarity in the nations capital, and cakes and pastry were the victims of strike against 10 big bakers in a wage dis pute. TWepty-one smaller bakers signed an agreement with union workers, but they supply only 60 percent of the city's bread.
 New England grocers kept sugar off their shelves, and distributed it fve-pounds at time to regular customers. However, candybars and bakery sweets were more plentiful | than year ago.

 All ' To Write

Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin today designated the week of Oct. 13-l9 as National Letter Writing Week in Connecticut.
 The following statement was is- sued by the governor:
 ''The art of letter writing Is as old as modern civilization itself. It is an art that is open to both old and young to create bonds of affec- tion and friendship between people separated by space.
 During the war people at home helped maintain the morale of our troops by sending letters which be- came link with home. There is need of writing and sending cheer ful messages to the many men still in the Armed Forces and away from home. There is always a need of keeping in touch with home if you are away.
 If all of us write more frequent ly to those we love and to our friends, the world will become more cheerful place.
 Therefore, in the interest of calling attention to the importance of letter writing, I hereby designate the week of October 13 to 19 as Ma

 Although Johnson said Novikov's luggage was cleared within Is min- utes, Customs Collector Harry M. Burning said Novikov was delayed while a deputy collector telephoned Burning to determine whether the Russian ambassador was required to sign.
 Burning said Novikov was told he did not have to sign but that he did SO anyway, and left after delay of slightly more than an hour.
 Another version came from health officials here who said their agents in New York did not pass Novikov through immediately because they had not been told he would be on the plane.
