Deere and Company on Friday warned that a Civilian Production Administration order to ship 14,500 farm tractors to UNRRA aid recipients would do more harm than good in relieving world food shortages. The tractors would go mainly to Poland, Yugoslavia, Albania, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Hungary, with small numbers for Greece and China.
