introduced today by Senator Cos-tigan (D Colo) before them representatives from sugar producing states probably will meet Tuesday to decide upon a plan of action It is no secret that many senators and representatives from sugar states are not pleased with the recommendations as contained ii the Costigan bill Representative Ayers (D Mont) predicted that most of the Democrats in western beet sugar producing states would break with the administration on the question of production quotas The chief argument of those opposed to quotas contained in the sugar statement is that the United States consumes more than two and one-half times as much sugar as is domestically produced ahd yet is given a production quota lfess than that assigned to Cuba It was learned today that a closed meeting on the sugar situation attended by more than 30 senators and representatives the sentiment was almost unanimous against the recommended quotas Opposition Voiced Sector Adams (D Colo) mas ex pressed himself as not entirely satis fied with the administration recommendations and Representative Cummings Colo) said he could not understand why Cuba should be given a larger quota than this country and that he could see no particular aid for the sugar beet producers in the program Michigan Democrats have decided to make a fight for a readjustment of Women Struck by Auto Recovering in Hospital
