Sharp Clash Marks Sugar Inquiry In Senate Panel
Washington today a sharp clash over chairman Reed's handling of witnesses surfaced as the senate machinery committee resumed its sugar inquiry with George H. Harle, president of a Pennsylvania refinery, on the stand. Harle said US sugar consumption last year exceeded 1915 by 295,000 tons and that the supply was tighter than the prior year. He argued the food administration faced a larger task in 1917 than in 1918, and that Claus Spreckels had tried to suggest there was no shortage. The inquiry continues tomorrow.
