Republican, of Illinois quipping,
How you going to get 4-Fs out on
the farms?"
MIR. Nelson said he didn't believe
there would be any trouble in per-
suading discharged servicemen to
take farm or factory jobs. He said
it was just a question of pointing
out to them what was needed, be-
cause they want to get into jobs
where they can help their buddies." {"
Mr.. Nelson disclosed that despite
controls set up by the VINO, the
rate of turnover was continuing high
and added that he believed some
thing should be done Immediately.
He said he had received kilograms
from all important producers warn
ing that unless replacements can
be found rapidly, war production
will suffer. On other scores, Mr..
Nelson testified that the labor
boarding problem is being solved,
that in most cases WPB has been
able to remove union restrictions
on worker output, that less essential
activities will have to be sacrificed
if necessary and that the 48-hour
week is being put in operation
wherever desirable, with the textile
industries the latest to 60 on the
long work week.
May Ask Baruch's Aid.
Before today's hearing, it had been
indicated that if the present dis
cussions reach an impasse, the Of
ficials concerned will take the whole
deferment issue back to President
Roosevelt, who precipitated the
problem by acting on the Army S
insistence that more young men be
made available for combat duty
Another report was that Bernard
M. Baruch, the Presidents trouble
shooter" might be- Brought in to
settle the dispute.
The new delays encountered in
working out deferment machinery
meanwhile, have the effect of CIV
ing draft boards additional time to
induct the key men who production
officials are trying desperately to
save for industry. Latest instruc-
tions to boards provide that men un-
der rs will be drafted unless their
deferment is approved by State Sc
lective Service directors. Some
State directors already have en-
barked on g. tough" policy in this
respect.
So far the only programs singled
out for special deferment treatment
are landing craft, synthetic rubber
and 100-octane plants, tires and
tubes-aircraft, combat and heavy
duty truck and bus tires and tubes
including necessary tire cord fabric
and molds-high-tenacity rayon fol
war products, portion of aircraft
including heavy bombers, certain
types of radar, submarines and a
secret project.

After House Votes Ban
On Farm Coercion
By the Associated Press.

Charges of politics" came from
Democratic quarters today after the
House voted tentatively to prohibit
payment Of Federal salaries to any
lperson who demands that farmers
join the Agriculture Adjustment Ad-
ministration program as condition
of draft deferment or to obtain
priorities on fuel or farm ma
chinery.
An amendment to that effect Of
fered by Representative Harness.
Republican, of Indiana to the agri-
culture supply bill was adopted, 90
to IS, with the Republicans voting
almost solidly for 1t. The vote,
taken after several members told
the House that farmers had COM
planned Of Coercion" was subject to
a roll call, possibly today.
Representative Tarver, Democrat,
|of Georgia termed the Harness
amendment "a political gesture"
and declared If there had been any
coercion" it was an isolated Incl
dent by a minor Government off,
cial acting contrary to the policy
OF his superiors.
Meanwhile, the House continued
debate on the $567, 1896, ITO agricul-
ture appropriation bill for the next
fiscal year and planned to pass it
finally before adjournment today.
An investigation into charges that
farmers have been forced to sign
up as AAA members or be denied
oraft deferments and gasoline
priorities will be started by a House
Military Affairs Subcommittee Mon
day. Selective service, AAA and
pr1ce-control officials are expected
to be called.
Mr.. Harness told an Agriculture
subcommittee earlier yesterday of a
letter he received from a farmer in
Marion. Ind. The farmer said he
was told by his draft board he had
to show certificate of AAA mem
bership or be placed in la, subject
to immediate induction.
"Selective service and the triple A
said they do not countenance nor
condone this" Mr.. Harness said.
but nevertheless they are doing it
and we're going to stop it,

IN a protest association, also testi-
