objections, today declared that ne
will oppose any amendment TO de
fer farm workers under the kilday
"take-fathers-iast" draft bill.
Such an amendment has been
proposed and may be offered from
the floor by Chairman Fulmer Cd
S. C.. OF the Agriculture Commit
tee when the bill comes before the
House this afternoon.
Concerning the proposal which
would virtually assure farm bloc
support for the bill Of Rep. Kilday
CD Tex. May said:
Il don't think the Kilday bill
should be amended. I'll oppose
such a farm deferment amendment
If it's offered from the floor. 7
believe the bill is proper as now
written.
"If we start amending It. we
may open the bill TO opposition
by the war Department Wnen II
reaches the Senate"
Kilday himself. however, said he
would accept ANY reasonable
amendment" by Fulmer on the
farm deferment issue.
The Texans bill would place mar
ried men with children at the
bottom OF the draft list and put
the draft quota system on a state
wide rather than a local board
basis.
The bill would make it manda-
tory that draft boards call men for
induction in this order: single
men. single men with collateral
dependents. married men without
children and, finally, married men
with children.
