Oct 2 tl P» Hoarder* were left today holding bags of coffee that wilt soon lxstale as the government put it* foot down hard on rumors that tin nation's favorite beverage would soon oe returned to ration ing. War mobilization director Jann F Byrnes, after a hectic week-end which saw a run on coffee supplies of grocery stores develop, announced definitely that "rationing is unnecessary.” The assurances were fortified by a state department announcement that Brazil the biggest coffee producer in the world — has promised to resume coffee shipment* t> th,. United States today For several weeks. United

• stocks available for civilians in r the United States have- declined steadily although they did not . reach tlie low points which existed - at the height of the- Axis submit - ritie campaign. Tin- present situation was cau* rd primarily because tin- price o’ coffee locally at Santes.

Tin- governor urged the- re-elec - tion of President Franklin D Roosevelt "because his experience* is needed to win the peace." He said that the- last peace was thrown away by Republicans such as Izslge i>nd Watson, ami this nation could not dare t<> invite a third world war by re-electing such men.
