Farm Profits Guarantee to Be Next Move
Clinton P. Anderson, food boss designate, signals a plan to guarantee farm profits by mobilizing the army and foreign food agencies. The move would remove price fears to boost production, with WFA funds stretched and shortages in pork, eggs, poultry, and lard prompting shifts toward reserves and wartime production strength. Anderson urges contracts for 1946 needs and extended commitments across agencies to stabilize output.

War Workers Lose Deferment
Washington June 6 UP Sixty thousand industrial workers aged 26 to 29 who are deemed irreplaceable may lose their draft deferments by fall. Officials expect at least 17 percent of the 350,000 key men in this age group now deferred to be canceled as munitions cutbacks and reduced war needs shrink remaining indispensable labor.
