Sugar rationing extended by Senate banking panel
The Senate banking committee voted 10 to 3 to extend sugar controls until March 31, 1948, with the Agriculture Department taking over from OPA. Witnesses warned prices could rise to 30 to 40 cents per pound if controls lapse, while current retail prices run 8 to 9 cents. Acting Chairman Flanders said supplies should permit full 35 pounds per ration book this year, with the Secretary free to end controls if supplies allow within 12 months.
