Washington November 10 The United States sugar equalization board told Senator McNary Oregon that it would wind up its activities due to inability to obtain enough sugar from Cuba to justify further government control. The senate would proceed with legislation to aid the public in the shortage and provide for continuation of the board even if current members resign. A senate agriculture committee meeting was called for Saturday to act on the measure.
