Smaller Crop for
1943 Foreseen by
Senate Committee
Selective Service Head
Says Agriculture Must
BE Treated as Industry

WASHINGTON, March 5.
(UP)-The senate military
affairs committee reported
today that the prospect for
a food crop this year as large
as 1925 is almost hopeless of
realiZ2tiOn.'
In a report urging passage of the
P"nkhcad bill to defer farm work
ers from military service, the COM
mittec said that Secretary of Ag-
riculture Claude r. Wickard " is
increasingly; alarmed about the
inability to gci enough farm labor
to reach goals established for
farm production tiliS year.
MORE ALARMED
Wickard gets more alarmed day
by day as a result of additlonal

Fort added.
added.
Before announcing its conclus-
ions, the committee had studied a
slecial report by Col Lewis Sanders
of the selective service bureau who
warned that:
1.-The time has come to convert
agriculture to the same war pro-
duction basis as industry to avert
hunger at home and unnecessary
casualties on the battlefrontS.
2.-Talk about labor shortages,
food riots and starvation must be
supplanted with action because Toe
little has been done and 1t Is
getting late.
EXCESSIVE RED TAPE
The committee said the 1ydln9S
amendment to the selective service
act, granting exemptions TO eS-
sential farm workers, has been sc
circumscribed by red tape in Its
administration that 1t did not
accomplish the desired result"
Draft boards throughout the
country" the report continued
did not administer it with under
standing sympathy and uniformity
and many farmers who were en-
titled to deferment were given llCCle
or no consideration
The committee said farm work
ers were lured from the farms by
the attractive wages and short
hours and better living conditions
offered by war plants.
RESULT FEARED
1T is evident that if something
is not done soon to restrain tho
movement away from farms, the
result may be tragic the report
concluded.
Six members of the committee
opposed passage of the Bankheac
bill on ground that it is a blanket
deferment of agricultural workers
without taking into account wheth'
