Hershey Gives Sithcommittee Views at Closed Session; Group Continues Its Study of Need for “More ' Centralized” Control.
ASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (U. P. . ~—Chairman Harleyy of a special senate subcommittee studying manpower problems, said today that Maj. Gen.| Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, had presented] some “highly confidential” information at: a closed meeting ~ of the group. / Hershey was the first witness before the group, which | is a subcommittee of the senate committee investigating the )
M. i (D. W. Va.),
war program headed by Senator Harry S. Truman (D. Mo.). Truman appointed the subcommittee ‘ last night to study the need for “more centralized” manpower control. Kilgore told reporters after this morning’s meeting that Hershey's testimony, presumably on the army’s future needs, was a help
in “laying the groundwork” for a complete study of the situation in regard to manpower and womanpower. Farm Workers Scarce “Wage rates, insofar as they affect war production and the availability of workers: for the various necessary jobs, will also be studied, as well as other related questions, including general problems facing labor and management, and the advisability of a more centralized control over the naticn’s manpower,” Truman said in announcing the subcommittee. . Other member of Truman's subcommittee are Senators Tom Connally (D. Tex.), James. M. Mead (D. N. Y.), Ralph O. Brewster (R. Me.)
‘and Joseph H. Ball (R. Minn.).
Several house committees have been studying the manpower situation for several weeks. The Kilgore subcommittee will begin where they left off. Truman said the United States faces an acute shortage of farm workers who have been drained from the rural areas by the draft and the lure of higher wages in war industries. The nation must take immediate steps to forestall an impending shortage of food, he added. Food Shortage Feared
Selective service spokesmen have told the house committees that the United States stands on the brink
of an acute food shortage unless
steps are taken to "“draft” men to the farms, While asserting that the army has no desire to induct men Jwho could be more useful on farms, the spokesmen have said that responsibility lies entirely with local draft boards. Farm leaders, testifying before the house committees, have declared that in many instances farmers—if they could get workers at all—were being forced to pay wages which would run higher than prices they? obtain from sale of their crops. The Ntaional Farmers union, the
"only farm organization that has
opposed the farm bloc’s current fight for higher farm prices, renewed its demand for a “master

THIS IS A SAD, dark day in the old tomato department. A forsaken fly. circles crazily about: the desk on its last flight. The chill of autumn bites through the air and the radiator runs cold. The end, dear friends, is here. Last summer, it didn’t seem as if this day could ever come. Joe (you remember Joe) just plodded happily along, pulling me and the buggy and tomato plants were growing taller by the hour. All was aglow. And now it has fo come to an end.
