Vivian Claims Authority To Defer Farm Workers Under Act
Governor John G. Vivian announced he would defer farm workers from induction under state authority claiming power to administer the selective service system. He cited section 03.11 and 808.17 to justify deferring farm, dairy, and ranch workers, arguing local boards must follow state directives and continue essential agricultural operations. The move drew mixed reactions from Sen. Johnson and others, who countered that deferrals rest with local boards and federal directives.

Brown Opposes Bankhead Pace to End Price Stabilization
Washington March 26 The Farm Security Administrator Peters Brown argues enactment of the Bankhead and Pace bills would end price stabilization and wage controls, raising consumer food costs by up to three quarters of a billion dollars annually. He cites higher parity prices, government outlays, and Little Steel wage rules as factors in increased living costs. Brown says farm prices already at fair levels and warns Congress against sweeping changes.
