If Draft Is Threatening, Plant Critical Crop

National and State Selective
Service headquarters.
The crux of the problem is
that draft board members are
expected to determine which
crops are surplus and which
are not, in ruling on certain
types of deferments.
If anyone is going to control
the agricultural policies of the
country, it should be the
specialists in the Agriculture
Department and not the Selec-
tive Service System, Mr.. Harri-
son believes.
In Congress. the House has
passed and sent to the Senate
the Vinson bill to extend the
draft law. It contains an
amendment offered by the Vir-
ginia lawmaker. 'st
The Virginian's amendment
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-03-27

says, in part. "No person ,
shall be granted a deferment
on account Of the existence Of
a shortage Of any agricultural
commodity, or denied q defer
ment on account Of q surplus
OF any agricultural COM
modify"
Formula Disreeorded
In a recent speech, Mr.. Har-
rison told the House the for
mula for determining an agri-
cultural deferment is in the
regulations. .
"The Selective Service Sys-
tenn" he said, without regard
to those regulations, has pro-
ceeded to add a new. require
mel1t, It has provided that
even. where all three of the
situations required by the reg
uiations are present and the
registrant is therefore entitled
to deferment, yet in spite of
that fact, he shall not be de-
ferred if in the opinion of the
local draft board the crop he
is producing is in surplus :.
1.-THE power to determine
which crops are in surplus is
the power to control the agri-
cultural production of the Ma
ton.
IF any agency of the Gov
eminent should have such
power, it should not be the
military or a bureau whose sole
function is to procure man.

eve get that probably from
the newspapers, from the De-
partment of Agriculture, from
the list Of shortages and all
that sort of thing" Gen. Her
shey testified. a.. We inter-
pref 1t in different ways"
But Mr.. Harrison wanted to
know: Should the agricultural
supply of the Nation be deter
mined by what the officials of
the Selective Service System
read in the newspapers or
learn from a list Of shortages?"
In Virginia. the problem
originated with a regulation Is

sued by the State Selective
Service director, Capt. Thomas
w. White, USN (retired).
But there have been a num-
Der Of draft board designations
across the country generally,
principally in the rural areas.
Mr.. Harrison's Office said the
lawmaker has been commended
for his efforts In letters from
8 or 10 other States outside
Of Virginia.
This regulation. Mr.. Harri-
son recently told the House
Armed Services Committee, is
subject to abuse locally.
IF it is left to local boards
to determine what crops are in
surplus and what crops are
not in surplus. then we are
going to have a very absurd
situation. One board will say,
This crop is In surplus AMI
the board in the county ad-
joining viii say. No, 1t isn't in
surplus
LoophoIes Cited
In q letter to the White
House seeking the Presidents
aid, Mr.. Harrison wrote. "A
wheat farmer in County A
might not be deferred because
his county board thinks cot
ton and not wheat is essential.
but, elsewhere. In County B,
q cotton farmer might not be
deferred because his board
thinks wheat and not cotton Is
essential.
EFF they trade farms. both
will be deferred"
Another possible loophole he
sees is this:
"A wealthy farmer. faced
with induction, or with the in
duction Of his son would
be in a position to shift his
production to q commodity
which he was aware the board
did not regard in over-supply.
Induction thereby might be
avoided through a maneuver
not available to less prosper
GUS farm families"
The bill now is pending be-
fore the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee. The Office OF
Senator Byrd. Democrat, Of
Virginia said Virginia's senior
Senator is interested in the
Harrison amendment and will
try to see that 1t sticks when
the bill comes up for action.

The commission argued per-

County Reform Eosier
It is probably unfortunate
that the municipal home rule
measure had to be the first
approved. The county reform
would have been simpler to
effect.
It's also more far-reaching,
however. and takes more power
away from the Legislature.
That's why it didn't precede
municipal home rule and why
it may be a long time coming.
The assemblyman gave up
as many headaches as power
when he surrendered his right
to pass laws for individual
towns, except in the matter of

NUNS. Asking him to give up
the bulk Of his legislative au-
thority over his county is
striking at the heart of his
political power and prestige. In
some Of the counties. the legis-
lator is king, with the county
commissioners serving more as
administrators carrying out
the dictum from Annapolis.
Too Big O Job?
It is argued that the Legis-
lature is better able to decide
about county matters because
1t attracts more able men and
women than any county board.
That may be true. But there
aren't many persons in politics
capable of devoting proper
attention to both Statewide
and county matters in the rush
and confusion Of a Maryland
Legislature. One or the other
generally suffers-and some
times both.
Bills are often hastily drawn
and hastily passed, and put in
the law books before the folks
back home know what's hit
them. This is possible because
it is the custom here, particu-
larly in the Senate where
much emphasis is placed on
senatorial courtesy, not to in
terfere with local bills from
other countieS-no matter how
bad they might be.
Despite this and other EVIL
dences of the need for county
as well as municipal home rule,
proponents Of this reform are
laying low. waiting for the
storm to blow over. -
