House Bans 3A Tyranny On Farmers
The House added an amendment to the agriculture department appropriation bill prohibiting coercive demands that a farmer join the agriculture adjustment administration as a condition for draft deferment or ration priorities. The 93 to 65 vote aimed to bar salary payments to officials who press such demands. Rep. Harness reported a farmer complaint from Marion Indiana. The measure before final action on the agriculture bill, which totals 567,996,779, also directs the war food administration to stop assessments on milk and farm products to cover admin costs.
