Senators Urge FDR to Ease Farmer Draft Rules
A group of farm state senators plan a direct appeal to President Roosevelt to modify the new Selective Service rules. A Senate Agriculture Committee subcommittee led by Senator Russell aims to press for changes as farm groups estimate about half of 1,770,000 deferred farm workers could face induction under revised deferments. If appeal fails, Congress may push new legislation to preserve farm worker deferrals.
