Army to recall cotton picker order amid mixed signals
Washington reports say the Army aird to recruit soldiers for Arizona cotton fields was paused after congressional and agency concerns. War Secretary Stimson suggested emergencies may not justify troop deployment, while Agriculture Secretary Wickard cited surprise at the plan and noted 1,900 pickers moved earlier, with about 600 remaining. Arizona’s crop losses risk prompting urgent action as labor shortages loom and wage housing questions have faded from view. President Roosevelt backed farm labor use in emergencies but urged no new legislation, leaving War Dept discretion.
