Tydings Amendment Draws Clash Over Draft Farm Workers
AP report on Senate debate over the Tydings amendment with Draft Director Hershey testifying before the House Agriculture Committee. Tydings contends the act bans drafting younger farmers unless a substitute exists, while Hershey claims broad wording could allow drafting any essential farm worker if needed. Capper cites Hershey clarification, Hoffman faults orders, and the exchange centers on local boards and the meaning of essential agricultural labor.
