Draft Boards Charged With Violating Tydings Law
Senator Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin charged that draft boards are "recklessly herding" young farmers into military service in violation of the Tydings amendment. He criticized Draft Director Hershey for misinterpreting the amendment and claimed officials have brazenly violated laws for years. Farmers fear losses to their work and families as 18 to 23 year olds face conscription, with farmers reporting misapplied instructions and disregard for the amendment.

Meatless '45 Summer Forecast
Washington reports government estimates project meat consumption per civilian at 120 to 132 pounds for the coming summer. The fall in per capita use would be the lowest since 1935, with compares to 14% below last year. Factors include smaller total national production and shifting livestock marketing toward military needs and lend-lease, potentially easing civilian supplies later. Retail availability may still be tight on the home front.
