He explained that the census involves only a count of the population and selective service involves only a portion of the citizenry while the sugar registration will require more information than the census and affect more people than selective service. Bane, speaking at a conference of 48 state and 10 regional rationing admim'rators, estimated that the registration of individual sugar consumers alone would require 1.500,000 registrars and assistants in the elementary schools. Bane said the vast sugar rationing program had been necessitated by a reduction of the amount of sugar available from 7,900,000 tons dispensed last year to an estimated 5,600.000 available' tor this year. He said that 1,000,000 tons had been lost by the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.

American and Australian bombing attacks sank or damaged a second and a third enemy cruiser off New Britain island and battered the Japanese-hel- d base of Saumliki on Yamenda island, 225 miles north of Australia. (This boosted the toll of enemy ships in the island sector to 25 or 26, including at least 14 warships.) 2.
