The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-07

men like Ed IZaC of California, Gene Morley of TeXas, and E%ing Thomson oi Texas pointed out that all the resolution did was remind the nation that $40 900 men from Ia to 25 the age group the army wsats most for fight ing are being denied the army.
 l.l PaSo'S Thomason declared his support for the Tydings amend ment, but said he saw no req son to pass further legislation on the subject. San Oicso'S Izac, wounded and decorated lieutenant commander in the last war, came out against the Tyd- ingS amendment.
 If the Army needs these men the battles that have yet to be won to win the war" lzac said. i've should give the Army and the Navy those younger men.
 "If we turn this resolution down, maybe the Senate will have backbone enough tO throw out all legislation that inter feres with the winning of the war;" Izac continued. "Ihe 34O,- OOO boys On the farm are no more precious to their fathers and mothers than are the other boys who have been taken away and are now serving In the Army and the Navy"
 After several hours of deDatc. however. the House passed the voice vote; but not before the author Of the resolution. John Flanagan of Virginia, was called upon to define what he C'eaht by an agricultural occupation" Republican Congressman Ciaaon of Springfield. Mas. was afraid the words might be interpreted as referring only to men growing or handling crops. Flanagan a3- sured him 1t included also poultry farmers and livestock farmers. ARE SHELLFlSH
 FARMERS EXEMPT?
 COPS Carl Hinsha~ of Cali fornia then proposed that pro- cessing, transportation. dlstrlOu- butson and final sale to the public of farm crops be included. Cla- son came back to ask If dairyi.ls was included, after which Char'es Clifford of the fishing town Of Co., tnit. Mass, came Lhorugh with the prize question.
 "Slow about shellfish farDis?" he asked.
 Nobody was ready t0 answer that o..e, SO Clifford continued. ''SOnetimes y0u refer l0 those fellows aS fishermen. Of course, [ have tO offer an amendment tO include fishermen unless ! get an admission that they are in- ciuded in that category AS being essential tO the war effort.
 When they seTape the bottom, which Is ground with A htile water OD top of the land. they try t0 make themselves fisher Inen because Of that. They rake Ihe bottoms fOr the floundrTs. We have s1eiISish farms. and [ want that clarified"
 Clifford never did get an answer as io whet..er sheliiish farms were included in the new TyG.nga resolution. He continued t0 ar- gue, however.
 "A farmer tills the land and he is an agrieuituraiist." Gif- ford eentended. bat because there ls water over the land which lhe fisherman eubttvates, he is n0t classified as an agrI- euIturalist. [ claim he ought Co be. lIe is often working On the Iand. even C it be a little under water. The fish that swim are like the poultry and the pigeons that ely ever the farmers land.'
 Finally, just before the rs0iu' ton was passed. one more aHn:pt was made tO extend the definition of agriculturalist when an amend. ment vas introduced by Itobert- son of Lexington, Va. to include coal miners among referred tarm- CTS. However. he was ruled out Of order.
