On the Botose aide o f the Capitol the Lemke Resolution, reaffirming the TydingSw.Amendment and ordering a . Congressional investigation o f recent farm worker inductions, has been re­ ported favorably for Floor action by the Rules Committee; while the Mil­ itary Affairs Committee has recom- . mended enactment o f the Flannagan Bill,- by the Chairman o f the House •^Agricultural Committee, to clarify the Selective Service Act so as to make mandatory draft deferments of necessary farm workers. Over in the Senate the Military Affairs Commit? tee has included in the substitute “ Work or Jail" Bill amendment re­ quiring the deferment o f all agricub tural workers found essential to food ■ production by local draft boards, and prohibits either’ the induction of such farmers into the armed forces or their leaving farm work without permis- sion, with a heavy penalty -fo r any '■ ■■„ violation o f the law. In the meantime officials *o f the National Selective System continue to put pressure on the local draft boards to conscript more and more young'farmers in the 18 to 26. .age bracket, contending the President and the Selective Service System have the authority to decide whether such young men are the most . essential in agriculture or in the arm­ ed forces. O f course, the Tydings A- mendmeot, in plain English, states draft registrants found to he neces­ sary workers.in essential farm occu­ pations SHALL >be deferred until sat; 'isfactory replacements are first found From the^passage o f the Tydings a- mendment in 1942 no one questioned the meaning o f .the Amendment until January o f .this yean- when Adminisr {ration leaders decided upon their new interpretation o f the law. Thjs is not the drat time government officials have interpreted laws to suit themsel- ves^ rather than coming to Congress and substantiating the necessity for amending the law. . As previously predicted here, the Senate'has' brought fo?th a.new or. . substitute bill to take the place o f the. May “ Wbrk or Jail” Bill which passed the House over a month ago. The new Senate version is similar .to a substitute which was offered in the House by Republican Representative Barnett and Harness, qnly to be de­ feated by a ten vote margin. It gives the. War-Manpower Commission au­ thority to investigate labor wastage auid to -place ceilings on manpower'us­ age by every employer in the nation, S?rith, a criminal penalty fo r employ- ■ ■ era who t a il, or refuse to obey Com­ mission orders. Employers can be re­ quired t o ,release employees engaged in essential work and can not hird new workers without, permission. The effe ct will be to funnel available ‘-workers o f both sexes and all ages( not work when and where needed, and to prevent the hoarding o f labor or the unessential use thereof by em­ ployers. The hill provides no penal? ties tar individual workers except farm workers who have been deferred from the draft and leave agricultural employment, a* mentioned in the pre­ ceding paragraph. 8S MEN INDUCTED BY COUNTY BOARD FOR FORT HAYES Twenty-six men from this county as sent to Ft, Hayes, Columbus, have been accepted fo r the army and seven fo r the navy. „ The following is the list for the army; Paul Edward Corrigan, Yel­ low Springs, Gerald Clark McClain, Jeffersonville, Harold Denny McMann Yellow Springs; Donald Rhodes Sipe, Cedarville R 2; Clarence Elmer A- mole, Xenia; Jacob ^fartin Jacobs, R. 2 , Jamestown; Dwight Harvey Kemp, Osborn; Wallace Gowdy Wead, Xenia, R 3; Harley Newman, Jamestown R2, Glenn Levy Stethem, Jamestown, R3, Russell A.
