Labor Main Problem Os Hoosier Farmers Situation In State Not Termed Critical Indianapolis, July 18- —(UP)— The main harvest problem facing Hoosier farmens today remained that of farm labor. , The problem, however, was not as difficult as most people have been led to believe, according to J. B. Kohlmeyer. Indiana emergency farm labor supervisor. Kohlmeyer said at Purdue university that the labor situation in Indiana could not be termed “critical,” and although an above-ave-rage yield of corn and small grains was pretflcted for the season, no field would go unharvested due to the shortage of help. The number of year-around volunteer workers recruited by county agricultural agents up to July 1 to work on Indiana farms was smaller this year than last. Kohlmeyer explained. Most of the farm work thus far has been accomplished by farmers pooling their facilities and manpower in their individual communities, he said.

Kohlmeyer also gave credit to a large number of teen-age boys and girls who have volunteered their services to help reap the Hoosier harvest. The number of volunteer parttime workers remained almost the same this season as last, Kohlmeyer said, with 9,638 offering their services last year and 8,376 working part time this season. The only serious labor shortage trouble Kohlmeyer could foresee was in the approaching tomato harvest. More than 6,000 men, women, boys and girls will be needed in the tomato fields, he said, and a large percentage of these workers still were to be found. The war department has allotted 2.750 prisoners of war for Indiana to be used in crop harvesting. The prisoners will be used in areas in which there are permanent military installations, and new establishments also are being set up for them iu the larger agricultural districts. New prisoner of war temporary installations were planned for Windfall,, Fort Wayne, Easton. Morristown and Vincennes, Kohlmeyer said, in addition to their regular camps in such military posts as Camp Atterbury and Foil Harrison. Facilities for housing and feeding teen-age crop corps members have been set up at four Indiana points. At Kentland, a camp has been established for 300; another at Tipton for 250; Lafayette, 200. and at Oxford, 90. Hundreds of other teen-agers and vacationists pl3n to work tn communities near their own homes. 0 — CHINESE RECAPTURE (Continued From Peee One)

WILSON APPOINTED (Continued Fiona Page One) there. But we'll throw the rubber on ships in wet form and bring it home for sorting and treatment. Production chief J. A. Krug meanwhile announced that Robert S. Wilson, vice president of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., will succeed Collyer. Collyer, president of the B. E. Goodrich Co., is leaving government service to return to private industry. He took over the job last March when the tire production program was in serious straits. In his final report to Krug, Collyer said military and minimum essentia) civilian requirements for tires and other rubber products can be met this year and next “under programs now in effect.” He cited work stoppages and manpower shortages as principal obstacles facing the industry in attaining the 1945 tire goals. A shortage of natural rubber looms for 1946, Collyer said, but the government is initiating programs to gain new rubber resources in liberated areas in the Pacific. He presented the following 1945-1916 tire picture—the brightest spot of which was ample tires for farm needs: 1. Truck tires — overall surpluses over minimum requirements but "substantial deficits" in the remaining half of 1945 for three important groups. 2. Passenger tires — 25,000,000 for 1945, as compared with 18.900,000 in 1944, or little more than essential replacement needs, which are estimated at 20,000,000 for 1945 and 22,000,000 for 1946.

3. Farm tractor and implement tires —ample for food producers. Estimated 1945 production of 2,300,000 tires as compared to last year's record 2,105,000. Collyer said that tire industries were short 8,606 workers. Krug also disclosed that George M. Tisdale, vice president of the United States Rubber company of New York City, will assist Wilson. Collyer's assistant. J. Edward Trainer, returns to Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Akron, of which he is vice president.

Canada Puls Social Security In Effect Comprehensive Act Goes Into Effect Ottowa, July 18—(UP)—Canada began to put into effect one of the most extensive social security acts iu the world today. The first of checks were mailed to mothers under the family allowances act.
