GOVERNMENT WILL
JUMP SUGAR PRICE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, B -
The govern mt has decided on a
half cent-a-pound increase in the
price of sugar, acting Secretary of
Agriculture j. B. Hutson reported
today.
He made the disclosure in letter
to Chairman Spence D.-KyO of the
House Banking committee in seek
ing Congressional authorization to
pay subsidies on 1916 sugar crops.
Congress had limited subsidy pay
ments to 1945 crops.
Hutson requested that Congress
authorize payment of $12, 1000, 600 in
subsidies on Hawaiian cane and
beet sugar and $4,000 900 on the
Puerto Rican crops. Spence offered
a bill embodying the request.
No new funds will be required.
Hutson said, since amounts already
appropriated are sufficient to cover
the 1916 crops.
Hutson's letter said the half-cent
increase would substantial, reduce
the amount of funds needed for the
subsidy payments and warned:
"If the legislation authorizing
of subsidies with respect
to the 1916 crop of suG r is not
adopted, the alternative would be

Il think that is a fair state
ment," quietly replied the white
haired Admiral.
Kimmel was relieved of his
command soon after the December

Secretary Of the Navy Forrestal
ruled that he should not be as
signed to any post requiring su-
perior judgment.
Kimmel entered his disclaimer
late in long session which in
cluded these other developments:
l. A committee decision not to
call ex-Prime Minister Winston
Churchill as a witness on whether
he and President Roosevelt made
pre-War agreements for parallel
Britsih-U. S. action in the Pacific.
2. A statement by Kimmel de-
nouncing as '1ies and misrepre-

teemen said were circulated in
some quarters that he owed his

to politics and personal friendship
with Mr.. Roosevelt.
3. Testimony by Kimmel that
he did not relay to the Army in
Hawaii information he had De-

Seventeen persons, including a

burst into flames in mid-air and

which served as pyre for the

move the bodies. Until that sad
task had been completed, officials
had been in doubt about the exact
number of dead.

MINISTER'S START
ITALY PEACE TALK

LONDON. Jan. 1s-P)-Discus
sions on five European peace
treaties We're resumed here tonigh-
shortly after Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes announced he
had assured France that the Big
Three-the United States, Britain
and Russia-would give '.fulles'
consideration" to proposals of the
smaller European nations in draw.
ing up the treaties.
The deputy foreign ministers o1
the United States, Britain, France
and Russia renewed discussions
of the five pacts-with Italy,
Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and
Finland. France will share fully
in writing the peace treaty with
Italy, but not the others. =.
Byrnes made public on behalf
of the Big Three the reply to
questions raised by France con-
cerning the tTeaU-drafting pro-
cedure.
The three great powers had decid-
ed at Moscow in December that,
in effect, they would write the
treaties for Italy, Romania, Bull
garia, Hungary and Finland. The
treaties would then be submitted
to the conference of 81 former
belligerents at Paris in May, and
then be. put into final form by the
big powers for ratification by all
the states.
But the French objected in
note Jan. 3 that the peace confer
ence would have no powers of
it's own and the execution of the
recommendations which the con-
ference may make would be decid-
ed upon later by the states entrust-
ed with the task of preparing the
treaties"
1.-THE French government would
wish to be assured that, as they
believe, this literal Interpretation
does not correspond to the spirit
in which the plan has been worked
out" the note said.
Byrnes replied that the French
may rest assured that as broad
and thorough discussion as posi-
ole shall take place at the forth
coming conference and that the
final drafts of the treaties will be
made only after the fullest consid-
Grafton has been given to the
recommendations of the confer
ence."
1--WE have no doubt that no final
,reaty would be concluded which
