Price Administrator Leon Hen-

rationing program' under which
ftookrt containing stamps will be
dlatrihttled en'ltling each indi
vidual to a strictly limited quan
tity of sugar—probably 12 oun

When the 130.000.000 copies
of “war ration book No. 1" an-
distributed “wi'hin a few weeks’’
persons ■who have built up hoards
of sugar will have stamps lorn

“It Is expected th*t there will

family.” Henderson predicted in
a formal statement.
Each book will contain 2S
numbered stamps, e.ach good for
