Congressmen criticize the national defense program for failing to reduce rural poverty. They note defense work concentrates in regions with less need for Farm Security Administration aid. Only 10 percent of defense contracts go to areas with 44 percent of FSA borrowers, while 45 percent go to northeast states with under 3 percent of rural FSA need. Local shortages of farm labor are confined to a few states.
