New Hiring Controls Limit Farm Worker Transfers
Government orders issued by McNutt under wartime authority restrict hiring controls to curb transfers from agriculture to non agricultural work.

Penalties for violations are not specified, but enforcement could involve other agencies to compel compliance with the orders. 27 Communist deputies released in North Africa and 5,500 political prisoners remain under investigation.
