Under the plan, the UJ. could

against the midnight expiration of

of the wartime rationing, priority
and allocation power.' ? -. :
Truman Kaas Sagar Law
The president, evidently more
dissatisfied by the short life given
sugar rationing - than by the cur
tailment of his own broad execu
tive powers of allocation, issued a
sharp statement on the sugar leg
islation.
October 31 "appears to be too
early for the termination of sugar
controls,'' he said. He added that
this had been recognized by many
congressmen "both - In committee
and in debate."
The sugar act also extends price
control on sugar through October.
It otherwise would have expired
June 30. The rationing and price
control will be administered by
the agriculture department In
stead of the dying OPA.
Ration Is 29 Pounds
The bill as signed by Mr. Tru
man provides that each person
shall have a ration of at least 20
pounds of sugar in the'next seven
months.'
Air, Truman had asked for a
year's extension; of sugar controls
and an equal extension of major
sections of the second war pow

sought authority to allocate any

Figures on rejections are not con

Three hundred eleven men from
the state entered civilian public

service rose steadily from; the
start of the draft In October, 1940,
to July, 1943, when the state quo
ta was 4201. From then on the
number - fell, and no inductions
