IS.—Soldiers back from overseas but destined for more army duty now are being given 45 days off instead of 30. War department officials said to day that commanders are being in structed to allow returning soldiers who are not being discharged to have 45 days “temporary duty.” Under this system the returnee applies for temporary duty at a place of his own selection, usually at or near his home town. He is free to do as he pleases during the 45 days, the only requirement being that he report initially to the place he selected for temporary duty. Soldiers now on 30 day temporary duty who are to remain in the service wijl have their time extend ed 15 days to provide the full 45 day period. In most cases they will be notified of the extension by their commanding officers. They should not remain beyond the 30 days unless this notification is received. The “temporary duty” provision is made under a rest and recupera tion measuer allowed under Army regulations. A soldier on regular furlough pays for his own transpor tation, but on temporary duty his fare is supplied by. the army. CHAMBER SECRETARY HEARD AT ROTARY MEETING Secretary L.

SUGAR SHORTAGE OVER THE WORLD WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Re flecting worldwide shortages the Amerian civilian supply of sugar for the October-December quarter will be 28 per ct. smaller than the aver age for the first three quarters. The civilian supply—for home, in stitutional and industrial users— was announced by the Agriculture department today as 382,000 tons. Normally, consumption is smaller in the last quarter than any other quar- but not to the extent of the reduced allocation. In the final quarter of 1944, civi lian consumtion totaled 1,544,000 tons. Civilian supplies for 1945 will to tal 5,092,200 tons compared with 0,- 141,000 tons consumed in 1944. This will provide, the department said, the civilian per capita supply of 73 pounds this year compared with 89 pounds last year and 96 pounds for the pre-war years of 1935-39. Supplies are expected to continue low during the first part of 1946. Secretary of Agriculture Anderson said rationing of sugar probably will continue into 1946.
