Sugar rationing may end this year with extensions needed
The Agriculture Department forecast sugar rationing could end by year’s end or earlier but asks Congress to extend price controls and consumer rationing beyond March 31. James Marshall told the House Banking Committee that removing controls now could double or triple retail prices and divert sugar to industrial use. He urged continued rationing to avoid shortages while proposing inventory controls as a substitute. Senators Maybank and Sparkman pressed for talks on extensions to prevent spoilage of foods.
