The co-ordinated program was
announced last night by Defense

asked to take steps to insure the

and to attract additional workers
in order to minimize the need for
foreign labor.
Mr.. Fowler said need for the
program has been increased both
by the loss to the military service
and industry of more than six
farm workers in recent
years and by the Nations increas-
ing food requirements.
Cooperating agencies are the
Agriculture, Labor and Justice De-
