Court Action Saves Sugar Rationing System
Washington action by the Supreme Court of Appeals halted a District Court order that could have collapsed sugar rationing under the OPA. Chief Justice J Lawrence Grover and two other judges blocked enforcement, delaying a hearing to Feb 7. The case centers on wartime sugar quotas and the “historical wage” formula used to allocate supplies, with OPA arguing no viable alternate method existed. A separate filing by Moberly Mini Products challenged the wartime formula, seeking to restore historic allocations and prevent disruption of industrial sugar use.
