Cecretary Of Agriculture Claude
L. Wickard appealed to farmers
fer an increase in 1913 corn and
barley acreage to meet greatly eX-
banded livestock feed requirements
and thus bolster human reserves.
He said acreage goals announced
last month already are out of
date, and that an upward revision
Cl feed production plans is necCs-
5ary to meet constantly changing
estimates OF war needs.
Farmers were asked to plant l0O.-
U0G 900 acres OF corn this year
compared with an original request
OF 95,000,000 acres and 1912 acre
age of 89,0o,090. The new goal foi
barley was set at q 100000 acres
compared with the original re-
quest of 18193.000
Increased acreage, Wickard said
should be obtained through reduced
planting of oats, spring wheat, hay
and others pasture crops since corn
and barley provide a higher feed
value per acre than other grains
He warned farmers, however, a.
ealnst reducing war crops such as
flax, hemp, soy beans, dr. beans
] and peas because they will not be
entitled to l943 corn loans if they
tal. to achieve goals in these pro-
ducts.

responsible in part for delay in
completing a plan whereby selec-
tive service will fill ell manpower
needs of the armed services.
Drafting OF men for the sea-go
ing forces was called for in PreSi-
dent RoCsevelt's manpower order of
December 5, but the mandate is not
expected to be put into effect be-
fore March l due to lack of CON-
crete plan.
During the interim their needs
will be filled through voluntary in
ductions This means merely that
volunteers go to their local draft
boards to enlist rather than to en-
listment offices maintained by the
three.
McNutt visualizes a single induc-
ton station, representing all -four
services, which would work side-by-
side with selective service boards.
It's success. it was said. hinges
largely on his desire for standard
lied requirements.
VINO sources said McNutt feels
that all services must lower theil
physical qualifications. In general
they are much higher than those oi
any other nation now at war.

told reporters.
THAT would be a simr.e way of
accomplishing the desired obiec-
tive" he said And the whole
question of whether the taxes

after the war
Mr.. Roosevelt said he favored

was worried about adoption of any
plan which would involve forgiving
taxes already owned. Such plan.
lie said, would result in ultimate
loss to the Treasury.
BILLS INTRODUCED
The most frequently mentioned
pay y-as-yougo plan - embodied in
bills already before the House and
Senate-would cancel taxes on l942
income. Tax payments based on
last years earnings would begin as
rSual next March Is, but they
would be treated as current. paw
ments on l943 income, thus enab-
ling individuals to pay taxes on in
come during the same year in which
it is earned.
George admitted such plan
would mean a theoretical" loss of
one years taxes. since taxpayers no
longer would die owing the gov
eminent a years taxes.
BIT I don't anticipate terrific
loss to the Treasury" he said.
The loss at death would be par
tally offset by high inheritance
taxes and by the fact that we'd be-
gin collecting taxes year earlier
from new taxpayers.
