Processors to Get More Sugar Washington, June 4 (AP)-The agriculture department announced today that food processors will be allowed more sugar this year for canning fruits and vegetables and for producing sweet pickles.

Fruit canners will get 100 percent of their 1941 base use of sugar compared with 90 percent last year. Processors of dried beans, frozen fruits and vegetables will be allowed to increase the sugar content ppepr unit of three products. Sugar also will be allowed for packing pickled cucumbers, cauliflower, onions, watermelor and for spiced and brandied fruits, red sweet cabbage, carrots and pickled beets. The department said the increased allowances are expected to take no more sugar in total for these purposes than was used last year, because this year's pack is expected to be smaller. It added that market outlets for fruits packed in light syrup are declining.

Hence, it said, packers need more sugar for a heavier syrup in order to dispose of their fruit.

much earlier date than Plunges to Fiery Death in Slag Johnstown, June 4 (P)- A 27-year-old worker plunged to a fiery death from the iron-like crust of a 100-foot high slag pile in what a Bethlehem Steel company official described as "the most horrible accident" in the company's history. W. H. Slick, slag train engineer, who was only 18 feet away, said the victim, World War II veteran John Smatlak, of Johnstown, "simply threw up his hands and disappeared." "One instant he was there and the next he was gone," Slick said. Smatlak's bride of less than a year, who is to become a mother soon, was prostrated at word of her husband's death late yesterday.

If the slag pile is cool enough today, company officials said they will use a power shovel in an effort to find Smatlak's remains. Slag piles, containing refuse from steel mills, are usually used as the roadbed of a slag train. The interior burns from spontaneous combustion, often for years. Bethlehem officials said they had never heard of a similar accident. Smatlak disappeared into a four-foot hole ripped across the top of the crust in an almost unprecedented collapse.

The crust was so solid a railroad track had been built on it. Open 0 Land To Mine Entry Washington, June 4 (AP)-Legislation to permit mineral exploration on the Oregon and California railroad grant lands has been recommended to the public lands committee by a subcommittee. Rep. Ellsworth author of the measure, said he hoped it would not be opposed and explained: "This bill, if passed, will have the result of opening up 000 acres of and lands to mineral entry and exploration. "When the lands were revested in 1916 it obviously was the intention of congress that they should be subject to the same mining and mineral laws as other public domain lands.

"When the and act of 1937 was enacted it provided for administration of the lands a sustained yield basis and on the general accounting office held it repealed the mineral provisions of the 1916 act." He told a reporter that the legislation is necessary to unlock the present almost total prohibition of mining on the lands. Senator Cordon Ore.) has a similar bill pending.

The question of whether to permit a young boy at the State School for the Deaf to take a $140 hearing aid home for use during the summer vacation, occupied considerable time by the board of control at its meeting today. A request came to the board that the permission be granted but Governor Snell, after learnthat it had not been the practice at the school to permit students to take the hearaids away from the institution, asked for further investigation, maintaining that he did "not like to break the precedent." Secretary of State Farrell suggested that service clubs might be willing to purchase the hearing aids as a "project" while the governor came through with the suggestion that the state welfare commission might purchase the aids. Treasurer Leslie Scott contended that the hearing aids were a part of the school's equipment and therefore should not be taken from the building. Roy Mills, secretary of the board was instructed to consult with Howard, state welfare administrator, to ascertain it the hearing aid could be purchased with welfare funds.
