workers be accorded fair consideration With re-

place in the sun. 1t will not be satisfied With

Army Will Allow
Use of Troops to
Help Harvest Crops

WASHINGTON. March II. (UP)-
The armT will undertake to assign
troops as units to assist in agricul-
tural emergencies when vital crops
arc in danger. but will not furlough
individual troops for agricultural
work, the war department announc-
ed today.
This policy was set forth i'll a
statement issued by the department
in view of widespread concern over
farm labor shortages and numerous
requests for a Qualification of the
war departments position"
OPPOSES FURLOUGHS
The war department has consist
emily opposed furloughs for such
purposes, on grounds that World
war I experience showed that they
disrupted army training.
On Feb. 23, however, the depart
mcut announced that troops would
be assigned as units to harvest cot
ton in Arizona. This plan later was
abandoned and Secretary of War
Henry l.. StimSon said further in
yestlgatiOn had shown use of troops
in Arizona was not necessary.
The department said this preced-
ent has now involved into the fol-
lowing announced policy:
TELLS POLICY
The war department is fully
aware that certain emergency Situ-
atiOns ma" develop in which vital
crops may become endangered be-
cause of critical shortages in local
agricultural labor. In such cases
military units may be employed
under command of their own Off
GERS to supplement the local agri-
cultural labor until the crisis is re-
lieved.
Troops thus employed will be
housed and fed by the army and
continue subject to military control
at all times. Requests for use Of
military units for agricultural pur-
poses will be transmitted to the war
department by the chairman of the
war manpOwer commission"
Tire policy against furloughs does
not affect the plan already in effect
under which soldiers 38 years of
age or older may be discharged from
the army to engage in essential
work, including farming, Spokesmen
said
