Cake Producer Here;
Other Bakers Fearful
U. 5. Names Washington
Deficit Area to Speed
Supplies From West

One of the city's largest cake
producers will close it's cake de-
partment tomorrow and lay off
20 men and women because of
lack of sugar, it was learned to-
day.
This development came as the
Agriculture Department designated
Washington and 13 Eastern States
as sugar deficit areas" This means
the Government will pay the excess
transportation rates to get Western
beet sugar into these areas.
Lewis Graeves, vice president of
the Charles Schneider Baking Co.,
made the disclosure of shutdown as
an official of another concern. the
Holmes Bakery, reported similar
action may be necessary some time
in the immediate future" unless
supplies of sugar and shortening
improve.
Many More Closings- Feared.
At the same time, George Furzer,
president of the Washington Retail
Bakers Association, predicted large
scale closings of the city's more
than 200 retailers unless the supply
situation betters.
Three Washington area retailers
already have closed down, he said.
and fourth is operating only one
or two days a week.
He estimated that production of
bakery products generally has fallen
off IS per cent in recent weeks.
Other bakers reported they were
operating on a day-to-day basis,
only holding on with the hope that
the maritime strike would end and
release large quantities of sugar
stored in Baltimore, New York and
other ports.
Mr.. Graeves said it was the first
time the Schneider company has
had to halt any of its operations for
lack of basic materials. He said the
maritime strike was to blame for
the action.
Supplies Wait in Baltimore.
An official for the Holmes Bakery,
another major producer of cakes
and buns for Washington. said an
end of the strike would bring sugar
to producers here within 70 hours,
as there were large quantities at
ship side in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, it was learned that

Largest D. {. Stores
Will Open Hour Late
So Staffs May Vote
Move by Merchants Will
Let 10000 Employees
Join in Suffrage Poll

To give their employees time to
vote in the District suffrage
plebiscite, Washington's largest
department stores decided today
to postpone their opening from
$50 am. to 1890 am. on elec-
ton day, November S.
Action was taken at a meeting
of the Department Store Division
of the Merchants and Manufacture
ers Association, Edward D. Shaw,
association secretary said.
More than 10000 employees will
benefit by the opportunity to cast
their ballots.
Notice of the action by the De-
partment Store Division will be
sent out today to all other divisions
of the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers Association, Mr.. Shaw said. Vir-
tually all business in Washington
including utilities is affiliated with
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, employing an estimated
total Of more than 100000 workers.
Possible Precedent Seen.
Since the lead of big stores often
is followed by other business in
Washington, it was hoped by plebis-
cite leaders that action of the stores
might serve as precedent.
President Truman meantime had
before him a request from the
Plebiscite Committee to permit all
Federal workers here a two-hour
leave to cast their ballots.
There was no indication from the
White House up to noon today as
to what action the Chief Executive
might take.
Merchants have decided to carry
the plebiscite slogan in their ad-
vertising, it was learned today. Co.
operation in this enterprise will be
given by the Washington Advertis-
ing Club and the Women's Adver-
tising Club.
"Vote for Right"
The principal slogan is Vote for
Your Right to Vote"
All adults in Washington 81 or
older will have opportunity to vote
yes" or mo" on both local and
national suffrage for voteless Wash
ingtonians. Polls will be open from
9 am. to 8 pm. on election day.
The Department Store Division
in it's meeting today in The Star
Building also conducted other busi-
ness, Mr.. Shaw announced. 1t elect
ed Ralph L. Goldsmith, general
manager of Lansburgh & Bros. De-

behind the campaign.
