REVIEW FARM DEFERMENTS

: Local draft boards were in
structed Wednesday night to
review the deferments of all
farm workers in the 18-to-25
age brackets. Those not pre-
viously rejected for physical de-
fects are to undergo pre-induc-
ton physical examinations as
soon as machinery can be set
up.
However, there was some
doubt expressed whether many
OF these young farm workers
could legally be deprived of
their deferred status. Acting
under provisions of draft leg
lslation, local boards have al
ready deferred these men as
essential" workers in the pro-
duction of food and farm pro-
ducts.
