WASHINGTON, June 15.—(P
Sugar allotments to industrial users,
• including ice cream and bottled
beverage producers, today were
slashed an average of 37 1-2 per-
cent under a year ago for the July-
September quarter.
OPA, cutting the new commercial
a quotas from 23 to eight percent be-
P low the current April-June ration,
said the reductions were designed
to bring use in line with scarce sup-
0
plies.
Ice cream and bottled bever-
age producers are reduced to 50
percent of their 1941 base pe-
riods use, and bakers and cereal
manufacturers to 60 percent.
“By today’s action,” said Prime
Administrator Chester Bowles, "we
are taking steps to assure the maxi-
mum output of things we need, and
must have, that our extremely small
supply of sugar will permit."
On Capitol Hill, Rep. Knutson
(R-Minn) said he will propose
that Brig. Gen. Elliott Roose-
velt and John Hartford, presi-
dent of the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Co., be called be-
fore the House ways and means
committee. Knutson said he
wants an explanation of pub-
lished reports that Hartford
loaned Gen. Roosevelt $200,000,
House veterans committee announc-
ed War department witnesses will
be called to trace “misconduct" in
veterans hospitals. The committee
is investigating alleged abuse of
patients.
Another development involving
veterans found two legislators pro-
posing a plan to provide a "veter-
ans specialist” for each congres-
sional district. Reps. Chelf (D-Ky)
and Rains (D-Ala) made the sug-
gestion Chelf introduced legislation
to. authorize the veterans admin-
istration to assign each house mem-
ber an employe.
Rep. Cannon (D-Mo) chairman
of the House appropriations com-
mittee, said “either Japan will sur-
render within the next 90 days or
the war will be of long duration-
a matter of attrition.”
recovered only $4,000 and listed
$196,000 “bad debt" for tax de-
duction in his 1942 income tax
return.
Earlier, Chairman Doughton (D-
. NC) announced plans to call the
• committee, probably Tuesday, to
decide whether to investigate the
matter.
Simultaneously, the Senate head-
ed for a showdown on whether
a President Truman is to have new
tariff cutting authority. Majority
Leader Barkley (Ky) called for a
vote today but said he did not an-
ticipate final action on the trade
agreements extension bill before
next week. The President asked for
• power to cut tariff duties 50 per-
cent under January 1 rates.

JACKSON, Miss., June 15.—-
Capt. Robert Cecil Cook, chief of
Army education in the European
theater of operations, and dean, on
leave, of the University of Missis-
sippi school of education, was named
today to the presidency of Missis-
sippi Southern college at Hatties-
burg.

GUAM—)—The general w h.o
gave the German air force what
Hermann Goering called “the only
surprise we got"—long distance
fighter planes—chuckled when he
heard of the fat former reichsmar-
shall’s astonishment.
The man is 52-year-old Lt.
Gen. Barney M. Giles of Min-
eola, Texas, new commanding
general of the Army Air Forces,
Pacific ocean areas and deputy
commander of the 20th air force,
successor to Lt. Gen. Millard
F. Harmon who was lost on a
flight.
Goering was quoted as saying up-
on his capture after Germany’s col-
lapse that “we scarcely believed that
America had a fighter plane that
could escort bombers from Britain
to Germany and back—that whip-
ped us."
Giles told how as deputy com-
mander of the Army Air Forces
under Gen. H. H. Arnold he spon-
sored the "surprise.”
"I simply demanded and got
increased ranges from our P-
38‘s, P-47s and P-51's," he re-
called.
"The Germans were knocking
down our bombers and we had to
stop them. We fooled ’em when
we sent out 700 to 1,000 fighters
on our bombing missions: Germany
had an air force then, but she
couldn’t afford to send her planes
up against that many of ours.”
Now the tall, genial Texan brings
his talents to the war against Ja-
pan, and a background of Army
aviation dating back to 1917, when
he was a private in the signal corps’
aviation section.
He wants to set up a rest and
recreation center for Superfortress
crews between the long and weari-
some missions to Japan, and he
wants to set a definite number of
missions to qualify men for home
leaves, such as in the European
war.
Giles flew the first Flying
Fortress delivered to the Army
when a deputy commander of
group operations for the second
bombardment group at Langley
Field, Va.
Of U. S. fire attacks on Japanese
cities and of those “short-haired
women and long-haired men" in
America who decry them, Giles de-
clared:
“They forget that we are still
bombing to destroy primary indus-
trial targets which happen to be
in the cities, spread thickly through
cities. We’re in a war and it’s up
to them (Japanese civilians) to
clear out.”

divorces were granted, according to
a report completed Thursday in
the district clerk’s office.
