SUSAR SHORTAGE
i -
j Witness 'Tells Committee That
More Sweets Used in "Dry
Territory
(By Associated Press).
Washington, Dec. 22. Charges that
the Food Administrations plan of
handling the sugar situation gave the
refiners a chance to combine to fix
purchasing and refining prices we--?
made by Chairman Reed of the S n
ate Investigating committee, and em
phatically denied by George" M. Rolph
director of the sugar divisino of the
Food Administration.
These refiners met and agreed they
they would buy only through one com,
mittee which would coavrof me sup
ply and fixed a "good fat price for
their refining work," declared Sena
tor Reed.
"Why didn't you arrange to buy the
Cuban sugar and then go to the re
finers and say that tbo one that bids
the lowest for refining gets the
work?"
"We didn't have the power but I
approve cf a fixed refining price, as
without it some refinericis would have
all the supplies and sojme nothing,"
replied Rclph.
Rolph denied that o represented
the company for which he is general
manager, but war, a representative of
the peoplo when Senator Reed asked
if the. people worn representd at the
refiner.';' meeting held at the investi-
gation of the Food Administration.
Prohibition was added to the cause3
for the present shortage. RolpK
said consumption had been ir?
-creased in the South by 'soldiers' who
drink more soft d links, chew more
gum and eat.more .candy than they
L did when they could procure liquor.
