Labor Moi 10 Be Stripped From Agricultural Regions;
 Shortages 10 Be Prevented
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, March l3-Se- lective Service and the Department of Agriculture are cooperating 'n thorough going effort to prevent shortage of farm labor.
 Although local selective service boards have had their instructions from time to time to try to pre- vent shortages of both farm and defense labor, this is the first time Selective Service has joined hands with another department in an effort to stem selection from any industry. The method by which 1t is being worked out is interest ing.
 The Department of Agriculture has state and county War Boards" throughout the nation. These have been instructed to survey their own localities and to report to their re- spective selective service boards conditions there regarding all phases of the necessary crops and labor conditions. They are NOT to concern themselves with individual cases, but to provide se- lective service with the overall pic ture of conditions as they exist in that section, county or state.
 On the other hand, Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey has instructed his boards to give full considera- tion to these reports in determin- ing their deferment policies.
 In other words in the necessary crop" areas tdairy and poultry sugar, etc. draft officials will do all they can to see that the farm- CTS are not stripped of labor; whilp in surplus crop areas and those in which farm labor is sufficient or obtainable from other sources, de- ferment of farm workers will not be considered so important.
 At the same time, General Her shey and Agriculture both are mak- ing appeals to the farmers to linn it all requests for occupational de- ferment to those cases where men are absolutely necessary to produc- ton of essential products and who cannot be replaced at the time of classification.
 There isn't going to be any over all deferment of farm workers but the decline in farm labor (28 per- cent to 8,665, ,000 in the last six months-some of which is seasonaD has been sufficient to cause alarm and the adoption of this national scheme to prevent further drastic impairment of the food production program.
 The government has just organ ized its biggest hunting expedition. The hunters CTS of them) are tech nical experts and scientists. The hunting grounds: Brazil, Columbia, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Central America. The game: rubber, met als, drugs, essential oils and fiberS
 The scientists and technicians are being sent out by Nelson A Rockefeller's Office of Inter -Ameri- can Affairs, but their object isn't so much to aid the Latin Americas as it is to ferret out natural re- sources which will make up for the loss of those in the South Pacific and supply the greater demands resulting from the war
 The interesting thing is that as result of their discoveries and reports, Japan and the south Pa cific may never be as important to this hemisphere, after the war as before-may even lose those great margins of trade advantage in certain products that have giv- en them their place in the sun of world commerce.

Buck Shines in Win

Shut Out Tigers 4
BY JUDSON BAILEY.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

When the Brooklyn Dodgers
bought big Buck Newsom from
Washington last Monday for price
now understood to have been $25, 900,
plus a minor league pitcher, they
said they would be satisfied If the
veteran won three games for them
in the stretch drive for the National
League pennant.
On that basis the Showboat's debut
for the Dodgers yesterday at Gin
cinnati was worth $8333.33, and
Newsom, with his rave ability for
grand gesture, provided perform
ance to meet the value.
He shut out the Cincinnati Reds,
20, on four scattered hits and struck
out eight men in an almost alright
hurting duel with Johnny Wander
Nicer, who himself famed eight and
allowed only four safeties before be-
ing removed for a pinch-hitter in
the last of the eighth inning.
Wild Spot Hurts Vandy.
However, Vandy had one wild spot
in his effort and it cost him an un-
earned run and eventually defeat.
In the third inning he walked the
first two men up, Augie Galan and
Arky Vaughan. Newsom grounded
into an unusual double-play, erasing
Galan and himself and putting
Vaughan on second, but Eric Upton
dropped Peewee Reese's liner to CEN
terfield for two-base error and
Vaughan scored.
Joe Beggs, who went to the mound
in the ninth, walked the first man
and served single to Joe Medwick.
Ray Starr hurried to the mound and
famed Dolph Camilli. Then Mickey
Owen hit long foul which Right
fielder Max Marshall caught, and
Frenchy Bordagaray scored after the
catch.
The victory, closing Brooklyn's
last Western swing of the season,
kept the Dodgers Az games ahead
of the st. Louis Cardinals, who
crushed the New York Giants, TO,
behind the four hit hurting of Lefty
Howard Pollet.
The young southpaw hadn't won
a game since June 7, but he exerted
his old spell over the Giants, whom
he had beaten three times in the
spring, and the only club he has
beaten all year except the Chicago
Cubs.
Cards Get Fluke Hits.
The Cards made nine hits, five of
them doubles in the box score, but
three of them flukes on the field, as
the Giants sabotaged old Carl Hub
bell. With the bases loaded and
two out in the third inning Erwin
Dusak lifted a fly which fell safely
between Babe Barna and Bill Jur-
ges for two bases. In the sixth,
when st. Louis scored four times,
Centerflelder Babe Young let two
sinking liners go through him for
doubles and barely held onto an
other after juggling act.
