BY the Associated Press.

Burton, Republican, of Ohio as one
means of aneviating the manpower

THE problem is to distribute
manpower so as to meet the needs
OF the Army. the factory and the
farm at the same time. To do this
we must reduce the number of men
on the Federal civilian government
payrolls, hold our present farmers
on the farms. attract more men
back to the farm from industry, in
crease our production per man IN
industry and at the peak time of
harvesting be prepared to use some

after his radio broadcast that all
difficulties with the Blue Network,
outgrowth of his criticism recently
of persons who voted for isola-

In his radio program he stated
he would not have appeared If he
had been denied the right of FREE

The newspaper columnist and

parted from his script in making
his recent criticism of some voters
and added that he had been wrong
in so doing.
There were two gremlins on my
shoulder urging me to express it
as I did," he said land to give my
enemies chance to get back at
me.
Il knew I was wrong. We who
are always talking about free speech
and free press also recognize the

Production Of Food
By Federal Prisons
Being Stepped Up
Bennett Reports Holt
Of Needs Met in 1912,
With More for This Yeor

Inmates of Federal prisons pro-
duced nearly half of their own food
requirements in 1912, and this year
are expected to achieve an even
greater measure OF self -Suficiency,
Director James V. Bennett of the
Federal Bureau of Prisons revealed
today in a report to Attorney Gen.
eral Biddle
Federal prison farms last year
had 8,437 acres under active culti-
vation, with 2.504 acres in pastures.
Production included $4,000 pounds
of vegetables. nearly 100000 pounds
of milk, and more than 100000
pounds of poltry and meat products.
Food produced was valued at
S776,495.
The average milk production OF
Federal prison COWS in 1912 was
l2,762 pounds per COW, as compared
with an average national output OF
about 4750 pounds per COW.
Though none of the Federal
prisons is entirely sustaining.
some produce more of certain items
than they are able to consume. Mr..
Bennett said. These surpluses are
either sold outright to the Army or
other Federal agencies. or are ex-
changed with other Federal prisons
for needed products.
Little beef is raised on prison
farms. Of last years output of meat
and poultry products. about three
quarters was pork. and the balance
was beef, veal and poultry, Egg
production aggregated 60,l66 dozen.
Prison farms also produced over
100000 pounds Of hay, grain and
other stock feeds.
Though prison farms have steadily
increased their yields In recent years.
prisoners are governed by even more
rigid food rationing restrictions
than the general public, Mr.. Ben
nett said.

Senator Johnson Fears
American People Face
Widespread Hunger
Warns Secretary Wickord
On Aggressive Fight
For Farm Monpower
3s The Associated Press.

Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado declared today that
unless Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard makes an aggressive
fight for more farm manpower
and machinery he must accept
responsibility for widespread
hunger" by the end of the year.
Unless Mr.. Wickard makes
Jeffers fight for Agriculture, the
American people will go hungry" ;"
Senator johnson remarked, He as
serted that Rubber Director William
Jeffers did not get all he sought
in his dispute with the military serv-
ices over priorities on materials for
synthetic rubber plants but he won
public confidence for his spunk'
Senator johnson told an inter
viewer that Mr.. Wickard under
stands the critical situation fully"
but that his easy going attitude in
vites disaster"
On manpower, Secretary Wickard
holds the view that the problem will
be met. He took the initiative last
fall in preparing for the guidance of
local draft boards a plan to defer
farm workers but Seleetive Service
did not act at that time. On ma
chinery, production of which was
ordered cut to 20 per cent of 1910
output by the War Production
Board Mr.. Wickard some time ago
dof al
and at length won 80 per cent.
With Mr.. Wickards tremendous
responsibility for feeding our Allies
our Army and our civilians" Sena-
tor johnson commented, his voice
should be heard above all others in
insisting upon sufficient manpower
and farm machinery. even at the
expense of reducing the totals now
projected for the military.
He should be leading the fight
to keep the military forces within
the bounds possible to transport
and maintain"
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa agreed that the drain ON
farms is 'imperiling food produc-
ton even as the monthly .induc-
tions increase the number the
farmers will have to feed" He
thought the food administration
lacked the overall authority needed
to accomplish his task
Farm Senators were disturbed by
Mr. Wickard's testimony before the
Military Committee that he could
not guarantee to recruit. upward of
3 100000 farm workers needed to
attain a total Of" 10000 900 or be
sure that if he got them they would
have the requisite experience
Many agreed with Senator Bank
head. Democrat, of Alabama. that
a reduction in the armed force was
the oply answer to the farm man
power question and reported that
WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson
had estimated not more than 2,500.-
900 men could be transported abroad
and supplied on the basis Of present
shipping and other facilities
The administration Is gambling
everything on a third straight year
OF bumper crops, coupled with an
uncertain hope that sufficient
women and children will fill in
the gaps" Senator Johnson said.
Farming, dependent as it is upon
weather, is gamble enough"
