Farm Labor SHORTAGE
May Spur Legislation
10 Avert Food Crisis
House Unit to Heur
Gen. Hershey ExpIoin
Monpower Needs
3y the Associated Press,

oy tne AsSoCleGeo Press.
Apparently convinced that
Government officials intend to
do nothing about a farm labor
shortage, members of the House
Agriculture Committee today
were reported on the verge of
drafting legislation to deal with
the problem.
Before taking any such action,
however, Chairman Fulmer said the
committee would see; the opinion
tomorrow OF Maj. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, selective service director,
and possibly later that of Paul v.
McNutt, War Manpower Commission
head. @'
1T may be that Gen. Hershey will
have some recommendation" Mr..
Fulmer said. "At any rate, we want
70 hear his views and try to get an
Idea Of the manpower needs for the
armed forces"
Wlckard Warning Recalled.
After hearing Secretary OF Agri-
culture Wickard warn yesterday that
failure to relieve the farm labor
shortage would make it necessary
In the not too distant future TO
deal with . shortage OF food" Mr..
Fulmer told reporters:
The Secretary offered Us no real
solution to the problem which hs
admitted was grave. It is begin
ming to look like Government on
ciAls will not do anything about 1t
until an actual food shortage stares
them right in the face. It might
Be too late then"
Rather than wait until then, Mr..
fulmer added, committee members
believe they should take "an aggres-
eive attitude" and seek to solve the
problem themselves.
What form any proposed legisla-
Aon would take was highly uncer-
tain. Mr.. Fulmer has advocated pay
ment Of higher prices to farmers
for their products to enable them
TO compete in the labor market
with war factories. 6ome form Of
Government subsidy might be nee
essary to bring that about. he con-
eeded.
Farm Labor Draft Urged.
Other members have indicated
they favored drafting workers and
assigning them to fields where they
were urgently needed, with selective
eervice ofncials making the de-
cisions. Still others believe farm
labor should be deferred from mili-
tary service and required to remain
On the farms.
During debate on the anti -infia-
Eon bill Democratic Leeder McCor-
mack OF Massachusetts told the
House yesterday the farm labor
problem might be met BY giving
draft deferment to essential farm
workers or by using on the farms
some men now in the Army or in
civilian industry.
Mr.. Wickard offered the commit
zee several suggestions. but said they
constituted mo panacea" for what
6 certain to be q very difncult sit
rahon." The suggestions included
expanded use Of women, and chil-
dren In farm work, use OF city peo-
pie on farms and transportation Of
workers from surplus labor areas to
areas where they are needed.
