Farnler.Draff
Is Opposed
Group Cites
Effect on Crops

WASHINGTON, March 3 -
Up Aroused by claims that
tightening of draft deferments
for farmers will seriously cur
tail food production, a group of
farm state senators plan a di-
rect appeal to President Roose-
welt for modification of the new
Selective Service regulation.
This became known today aft
er the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee set up a special subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Rus
sell (D-GA) to deal with the
question. Farm organizations as
sert that about half of the l.
10000 farm workers now de-
ferred are subject to induction
under revised rules.
Tentative plans call for the
Russell group to carry the APP
peal to the White House next
week unless Selective Service
acts in the meantime.
Although Selective Service
Director Hershey told the Agri-
culture committee last week
that he was "open minded" on
the matter, legislators took the
view his hands were tied by the
later directive from President
Roosevelt ordering general re-
view of all occupational defer
ments.
In the House, Rep. Sparkman
Ala declared the revised
rule-boosting the minimum
basis for farm worker defer
ments from eight to Is units of
production would hit farmers
hardest because he said in many
instances production on small
farms doesn't measure up to the
16-unit formula. The units are
measured by the number of live
stock cared for, acreage titled,
etc.
Meanwhile, Senator Bank
head DALAI said that il an APP
peal to the President fails, Con-
gress has pending now legisla-
ton, already through the Sen
ate, that would compel farm
worker deferments.

The GOODNESS grew out of de-

allotments must come from
home town boards, that Florida
offices have no authority TO
grant them.

Declining Birth
Rate Alarms
Royal Officials

LONDON, March 3-(P "A
Royal commission set out today
in quest of a solution to Great
Britain's declining birth rate,
described officially as lone of
the most somber anxieties of the
time"
In its search for the answers
the Commission expected to in
tervieW a representative num-
Der of women who have been
married since 1918, when the
decline in the birth rate began.
More children were born in
1912 than in any year since
1918, statistics show, but a
Commission member said that
this was just a wartime devel-
opment and is no indication that
the real problem has been
solved"
UNLESS something can be
done the situation will be very
serious in 40 or so years." a
Commission detective said. THE
decline in the British irth rate
is largely deliberate because
young people for the past Is
years have either deliberately
not had children or have limited
their families to one or two.
1t is the task of this Commits
sion TO remove the causes which
on the face of it are largely eco
nomic."
The Commission members in
clude a Viscount, two women of
title, one housewife, two elderly
professors and one historian.
