Pounds More Sugar
Per Person Due in Al
BY the A..eeiated Press


Ten pounds more sugar per person
this year than last was virtually
assured yesterday in an announce
ment alloting Is pounds for the
first nine months.
An OPA afi1cial said it would be
a safe guess" that the 1947 indi-
vidual-use allowance will be IS
pounds.
Jointly the Office of Temporary
Controls and the Agriculture De-
partment affirmed that new ration
stamp good for 10 pounds win be
validated April l, and announced
that another stamp good for 10
pounds will come due July /.
Household consumers already
have been allowed five pounds each
for the first three months
There was no specific statement
that another 10-pound stamp will
be validated for the last quarter OF
the year, but the OPA official re-
called that the Agriculture Depart
ment has said a 35-pound allotment
will be possible for this year If the
crop turns out as expected.
Along with the announcement on
individual sugar rations, the second
quarter allowances for bakers. soft
drink bottlers, candy and preserve
manufacturers and other industrial
users, hotels and restaurants were
increased.

NCHA Asks Authority,
Funds 10 Build $500
|Low-Cost DWELLINGS

The National Capital Housing
Authority wants permission and
money to build $500 low-cost dwell
ings here during the next three
years.
The request was contained in the
agency's annual report for the year
ended last June 30 and sent to Con-
gress yesterday by President Tru-
man. A similar request was made
last year.
Principal justification cited for the
|plea were:
There are 10000 veterans needing
housing and unable to meet the
lprice of private accommodations.
Some permanent low-cost housing
must eventually be provided for the
families now living in tempcraries.
Private accommodations will be
insufficient to take care of the
families displaced by the District
slum clearance program when 1t
gets under way.
Obviously" declared John Ihlder,
executive director of NCHA in the
report, whatever the percentages,
the needs of many thousands of
low Income families are so
urgent that the NCHA should be
Iimplemented to build at least the
s, 500 dwellings described in the 1945
report"
Mr.. Ihlder said that temporary
housing provided here by used bar
racks and remodeled multi-family
dwellings 'is extravagant and un-
satisfactory"
Acceptance of such housing as an
emergency measure, he continued,
should at once be matched by be-.
ginning the construction of proper
permanent dwellings into which the
occupants of the temporaries may
move"
Mr.. Ihlder said the Slum clearance
act, by restricting public housing
under it to the lowest net-incone
fifth OF the population, and by fore
ing NCHA to acquire sites through
the newly created Redevelopment
Land Agency. placed a great kandi-
cap on NCHA's effort to provide for
the low-income groups private hous-
ing does not provide for.

Price Decline Reported,
But Il Was in January
By the Assoeiotsd Press

The Bureau of Labor statistics re-
ported today it's cost of living index
showed approximately one-tenth of
per cent decline in mid-January
for the first time in 10 months.
That, however, was before whole
sale prices started another rise
which carried them to new post
war peak February 15 The bureau
has not yet transplanted those in
creases into it's consumers price
figures.
The mid-January consumers in
dex stood at 1911, compared with
1888 in mid-January. The figures
are based on the 1885 5-39 level of 100.
The January Is index was still 1873
per cent higher than in February,
1916, the last previous month to
show a decline.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, in
a one-sentence announcement, dis
claimed any prediction that the con-
sumer price index would soar to a
new high in June.
The bureau said simply this
"Queried about reports that an Of
fetal of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics had forecast continued rise
in the consumer price index to a
new high in June, the Bureau of La
Dor Statistics today stated it had

Spoin's Political Prisoners
Held in Prisons, Not Camps
By Constantine Brown

28, 600, 900, appears small In COM
parison with other countries.
Executions are no longer an
everyday occurrence, according to
American officials stationed in
various Spanish towns. Until three
or four years ago the sound of
machinegun fire could be heard
nightly and at dawn one could see
trucks laden with men being taken
from prisons to be shot or hanged.
But such instances have now be-
come the exception rather than the
rule.
Some 5000 to 10000 Spaniards are
said to be waging guerrilla war on
the Franco regime. 1t is difficult to
determine how many of these are
moved by political considerations
and how many by profit from high
way robbery.
The leadership of these guerrillas
is unquestionably political and
Spanish officials say the leaders are

highly probable that some innocent
persons have lost their lives in these
executions.
American and British officials and
businessmen agree that except in
some areas where the guerrillas find
easy shelter Spain is, ON the whole,
no more insecure than during the
monarchy or the republic. They
also agree that the reign of terror
which prevailed from 1886 to 1914
has given way to, strict control which
tolerates no active opposition to the
government, although it ignores
mere verbal criticism.

MADRID (by MaiD 1t has been
definitely established that, with the
exception of one detention area for
aliens who cross the border without
identity papers, there are no con-
centration camps in Spain.
The single exception is at Mi
randa, near the border, where aliens
are detained until their cases are
cleared. At present this camp holds
about $50 inmates, according to
figures from American and British
observers.
Spain's 72 jails, according to re-
liable estimates, cannot hold a total
of more than 200, 900 prisoners. The
yearly average of ordinary law
breakers in prisons remains at about
145,O0 The balance of the prison
population is composed of those who
have opposed the Franco regime.
Judged by American standards
this is an outrageous situation. But,
unfortunately, it is characteristic
of present-day Europe. Even in
France, where the purge is said to
have ended, at least $4,000 persons
are being held as collaborationists
or friends Of the Vichy government.

a pro-German spy ring has just
