SUGAR RATION ‘FORMS WAITED

Should Reach County Clerks Of State in Few Days Official Says.

The forms for the sugar rationing program-—4,200,000 of them for Indiana—are to be delivered to county clerks within a few days. william F.

refinery -. . . in Indianapolis?

with a soft squoosh.

But that never happened. The sweet smelling machinery. of the Indianapolis refinery has kept up its jive rhythm in the old buildings on Chocolate “ave, hard by the White river.

Went Ahead With Contracts

The operator, boss workman, foreman, enterpriser and chief chemist, M. G. Lewin, tested his liquid sugar and went ahead making contracts. : Today, Liquid Sugars, Inc, a closed stock company which Mr. Lewin seems to operate viftually single-handed, is one of America’s 21 great refineries and the only one of any size in the Middle West. The daily capacity of this plant is 300,000 pounds and that is no drop in the bucket, although some of the big refineries on the Atlantic coast produce 10 times that much.

Arrives From New Orleans

The raw cane sugar comes in 350-pound burlap bags from New Orleans by barge and rail. It’s quite a trick to hoist one of these bags on a cart from which the coarse brown sugar is dumped into bucket elevators ‘which start it on its journey through the plant. The secret of Liquid Sugars, Inc, is the journey. It takes about one hour to refine the sticky, brown crystals into refined liquid sugar used by canneries and bakeries in this area. That's Mr. Lewin's secret and its development on Long Island, N. Y,, several years ago is what brought him and the sugar industry to Indianapolis. Time of Process Reduced

He is a chemist and has been in the sugar business in the United States and the West Indies for 31 years. It takes a chemist to make sugar. Mr, Lewin found a way to refine it more quickly and more economically than the processes usually employed while he was experimenting in /his sfhall plant on Long Island. His process cut out ‘much expensive machinery. It whittled down the normal refining process

from 24 hours to one hour.

Wise Boys’ ' Skepticism Ends; Plant Keeps Doubling Output

By RICHARD LEWIS

Along about 1938, a new industry slipped into Indianapolis, unheralded but not unobserved, and the wise boys giggled up their coat-

How could one man and a handful of farm boys operate a sugar , The wise boys waited for the enterprise to be squeezed out by the great sugar concerns on the East coast

From the Long Island plant, he had built up a small group of steady customers here. It was the assurance that “they would continue to buy from him that helped him to decide to move here, saving haulage costs from the eastern seaboard.

Keeps Doubling Production

In the first year here, he doubled production. He has doubled production each year since. Now with the wartime rationing of sugar to yefinteries, that pace may be slowed. In the warehouse abutting the plant, he has stored 4,000,000 pounds of sugar—all of which ‘are already contracted to liquid sugar purchasers. Liquid Sugars, Inc. refines sugar mainly in liquid form—that is in a syrupy solution which bakeries and canneries find convenient and comparatively inexpensive. The liquid is pumped from the storage tanks into a tank truck which delivers it directly to the bakery or cannery, the way gasoline is delivered to service stations. The cost of packaging and sacking is eliminated in this way. A teaspoonful of liquid sugar roughly equals a teaspoonful of crystal sugar. The concern makes the crystal product, too. But like every other citizen, Mr. Lewin will -have to take his rationing card to the grocery to get stgar for his table, even though he makes it mountain high.

Plans New Sugar Cups

“I can't take any sugar out of the plant,” he said. “It all must be accounted for. I can’t take home a cupful.” In his immaculate white-painted laboratory, with its beakers and test-tubes and the inevitable dripping sink, Mr. Lewin tests his product and plans new short cuts. His dream is a sugar refinery virtually automatic in . operation, small, simple and compact. So far it is still a dream. The reality’ is the factory down on Chocolate ave., a new and vital industry for Indianapolis.

Help, Two 16-Year-0ld Boys Tell Police.

Another arrest was marked up by police today in their drive against men who have .heen attacking and molesting unescoffed women and girls. pe Frank Starks, 24-year-old Negro living in the 900 block on Miekel st., was charged with assault and battery with intent to commit criminal assault after two Negro boys, both 16, told detectives Starks had enlisted their help to attack. three white girls the night of Jan. 13. The girls were standing in the 800 block on S. Capitol ave. Suddenly two of them noted their companion was. gone. Detectives said Starks stealthily walked into the group of three girls, put a hand over the mouth of one of them, and carried her into an alley.

Heard Girl's Screams

When the girl was heard screaming in the alley, the two 16-year-old boys ran. The boys, who are held for juvenile authorities, described the incident to Detectives George Sneed and Plez Jones, Negro investigators sssigney to the homicide squad. A 25-yenr-oMd woman complained to police last night that a man answering the descripion of the assailant of several women tried to entice her into his auto near her home on Nowland ave.

WAR GOODS OUTPUT TERMED ASTOUNDING

The G.O0.P. Dilemma

SURPRISING AS IT may seem, the naming of a Republican member to the board is being delayed by a Democratic split. Each of the Republican county commissioners has a candidate. So the deciding vote will be cast by the Democratic commissioner. William Bosson, an anti-Brad-ford Republican, has promised the post to Robert Smith, attorney and former election commissioner. William Ayres, a Bradford supporter, favors the retention of

Charles Meischke, present board

member. Harry Hohlt, the Democrat, is getting tremendous pressure from members of his party. Frank McKinney, former county treasurer, reportedly has indorsed Mr,

Meischke, while County Chair-

man Ira Haymaker and others are said to have given the o. k. to Mr. Smith.

The appointment means much to the G. O. P. organization and some of its members. Republicans can ‘do is sit back and wait for the Dermoers's to! make up their minds. .
