Sugar Rotioning
| Retained Under
War Measure

Here is the answer to questions as
to why sugar is still rationed despite
the expiration of OPA's legal
authority:
The authority for the rationing of
sugar has always been in the Second
War Powers Act, which is still in
force. The act authorizes the Agri-
culture Department to ration sugar.
Agriculture delegated administration
of the rationing to OPA, which is
being carried on by OPA's "volun-
tary' workers.
No change in the amount of sugar
called for by a ration stamp is ex-
pected until next July l, when the
size of the l947 Cuban sugar crop
will be known.
The continuing world shortage of
sugar is due to the Philippines and
Java being still out of production,
to poor European sugar beet crop
this year, and to the fact the Cuban
sugar crop, while better than last
year, is below expectations
Spare stamp 40 in the ration books
Is good through August. Spare
stamps 8 and 10 each good for 5
pounds. can be used by home Gamers
TO obtain additional sugar.

Court Denies Motion
For Doomed S|ayers
As Jail Witnesses

Justice James W. Morris late yes
terday declined to grant motion
through which Julius Fisher, Will
liam Copeland. Earl Mcfarland and
Joseph D. Medley, condemned mur-
derers, would have been brought
into District Court to testify in a
case arising from the District Jail
escape of Mcfarland and Medley on
April 3.
Attorney James j. Laughlin filed
the motion, in the case of Policeman
Hubert c. Davis, his client, and
Policeman Oscar C. Sanderlin, who
will come to trial October on an
indictment charging negligence in
permitting Mcfarland and Medley
to escape. The motion asked for
writ of habeas corpus which would
have required the four condemned
men to appear on the ground that
Mcfarland and Medley would have
knowledge of their own escape. and
Fisher and Copeland were allegedly
eyewitnesses.
Il won't issue any judgment that
would have the effect of postponing
tthe murderers) execution" Justice
Morris commented Mr. Laughlin
indicated he would take the issue
to the United States Court of
Appeals.
II the motion had been granted,
1t would have necessitated granting
stays of execution to Fisher. Nc
Farland and Medley, who are sched-
uled to die before the trial date,
Assistant United States Attorney
John C. Conliff, jr, said. Copeland
is slated for execution at a later
date. Mr.. Conliff opposed the mo-
ton on the ground dispositions could
be taken from the condemned men.
If this was not suitable. he said, the
Government was willing to advance
the trial date to a time prior to the
execution dates.
Meanwhile, in another action,

ton of the death penalty by District
Court Justice James w. Morris.
pending application for rehearing
in the Supreme Court. He is sched-
uled to die August %.
The Supreme Court has already
affirmed Fishers conviction. Yes
terday United States Attorney Ed
ward M. Curran contended that
under Federal rules of criminal
procedure a stay of execution can
only be granted by District Court
when an appeal is pending or appli-
cation for executive clemency Is
being considered.

Lack Of Quarters Delays
D. {. Guard Activation

Activation of ground units of the
postwar District of Columbia Ma
tional Guard is being delayed by
refusal of the FBI to give up its
quarters in the District Armory.
Maj. Gen. Butler B. Miltonberger
chief of the National Guard Bureau:
declared today.
While Maryland and Virginia are
among l8 States authorized to date
to recruit ground units, he said the
District Commissioners will be un-
able to act until the armory is
eventually turned back to the guard.
Gen. Miltonberger indicated that
the question of allocating some
other quarters for FBI personnel
now occupying space in the armory
was being taken up at the White
House and that an early decision is
expected.
Meanwhile, he disclosed at a press
conference, the activation of air
units allocated to the District guard
also is being delayed because of the
inability to find necessary space in
congested Boiling Field. Twenty
one States SO far have been au-
thorlzed to activate air guard units.

tions which it will invite to express

lens the committee must decide is
whether the Department of Cor

sci Vernon E. West and Edgar Nor
ris, chairman of the Board of Public
