Govt. Control
Over Sugar
Advised Thru Az

With estimated 1947 sugar sup
plies in this country at least
100000 tons short of public re-
quirements, it is imperative that
government controls over sugar
be extended throughout 1947, if
we are to avoid repetition of the
severe shortages and skyrocketing
prices which followed abrupt de-
control of sugar after World War
/.
This warning has been issued by
Earl B. Wilson, president of Cali
fornia and Hawaiian Sugar Refin-
ing Corporation, Ltd, and former
director of the Sugar Branch Of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, who states that certain unin-
formed interests are campaigning
for precipitate action in decontroll-
ing sugar. 1t is Mr.. Wilson's be-
lief that lifting of controls may
lead to repetition of occurrences
following World War 1, when ur
controlled sugar prices rose to 40
cents a pound retail, while short
ages became increasingly acute
working severe hardships on indi-
vidual consumers, food manufac-
turers and the sugar industry in
general.
Mr.. Wilson states that his COM
pany and the sugar industry as a
whole are anxious for a return Of
the sugar business to free market
status, but want it accomplished in
such a manner as to assure rea-
sonable stability of prices and
equitable distribution during the
decontrol period. To that end Mr..
Wilson is urging that Congress
Immediately enact such legislation
as is necessary to extend sugar
controls through December 81,
1947, at the same time directing
the Department of Agriculture to
carry out the program of orderly,
gradual decontrol which it has al
ready undertaken in conjunction
with the sugar industry.

AFL Teachers In Kentucky
 Hit Race Bias

Louisville (LPA) - Accusing edu- cator H. H. McGuire of fagrantly in- du1ging in bigoted references to a re- ligious faith and a racial group, dele gates to the Kentucky State Fedora ton of Teachers - AFL convention last week voted to ask for his reSigna- tion both as president of the Kentucky Educational Assn and as Superinten- dent of the Carter County school sys- tenn.
 The AFL group quoted state- ment by McCuire attacking Catho- lies and Negroes which appeared in a political advertisement oppos- ing the election of Earl BelIew. labor supported candidate for State Representative. The teachers said they were not taking issue with McCuire in his right as an indi. vidual to express himself, but they did take issue with him in speak ing as the President of the KEA to make use of prejudices and atti- tudes not compatible with the ideas of democratic educators.
 Bellew, an officer of the Brick & Clay Workers Union in Carter County, was running for election tc the Kentucky Legislature on the Democratic ticket. Edward H. Wey- Ter, secretary-treasurer of the Ken lucky State Federation of Labor praised the Teachers Union for its action and pointed out that stirring ur religious and racial hatred is one oi the oldest and ug1iest tactics used by the enemies of labor.

 That the Council of Churches has no legal authority over its constituent Churches and Synagogue. and there fore does not have the power to issue binding directives in regard to con- tracts between individual Churches and Synagogues and contractors.
 ''That the Council of Churches point out that the religious con- science distinguishes between com- mendable objectives and the human institutions through which they are achieved gives unqualified endorse ment to no human institution he if management, labor union, church, or synagogue; extends provisional endorsement to institutions only in so far as their objectives, methods and achievements continually re- spond to the demands of enIighten- ed religious conscience.
