Washington, Sept. 23—^A warning
that the United. States will face a
food shortage unless it acts quickly
to solve the critical farm labor prob-
lem was laid before the House ag-
riculture committee Wednesday by
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wiekard.
He suggested that consideration
be given to national labor service
legislation as a means of keeping
the farms manned with enough work-
ers to produce the crops so vitally
needed at home and abroad.
“There must be a recognition on
the part of all responsible agencies
in government that unless we find
some way to deal with the farm
labor problem and Other problems
of farm m production satisfactorily,
we must fin dsome way, in
too distant future, to deal
shortage of food,” he said.

POLICE GAZETTE IS
"Barred from mails
Washington, SeSpt. 20—The Na-
tional Police Gazette was barred
from the mails Sunday night in a
ruling by Postmaster General Frank
Walker which accused it of “profits
ably pandering to the lewd and las-
civious” and which indicated the
Postoffice Department’s policy on
risque reading matter and pictures.
The policy appeared tb be that
isolated or casual incidents of ob-
jectionable material in periodicals
might not result in action toward
canceling their second-class mail-
ing privileges, but that Jthe Police
Gazette’s practice “is to publish at
length in each issue stories and
tures recording, in elaborate
tail," the acts of ’stripeprs,’
crimes, and immorality,' and to
vote most of its pages in each issue
to thes4. matters.”
Terming the low second-clai
rates a subsidy, Walker held (M
Congress never intended to sulig
dize the Gazette’s purposes.

of Maj.
< H Gen.—Lewis—B.—tterrttey, selective
service diretcor, whom the commit-
tee will question Friday, Wiekard
estimated that the armed forces and
industry may drain 2,000,000 farm
workers by the end of 1942 in addi-
tion to those already, taken.
“The only hope for agriculture is
to try to replace the experienced
workers with* women, older people,
children and other inexperienced and
less competent workers,” Wiekard
told the committee.
The 1942 food crop, Wiekard said,
waaiof record volume because the
labor that went- into it
panded before this nation
the '
“We have now come to. s
point in the road,’’ he
“We face 1943 with the prospect
o fless machinery, less farm laboiy
and probably less favorable weath-
er,” with demands for food prob-
ably greater. . ‘ '
The secretary contended the farm
problem could. not be met by pay-
ing higher wages.
Committee members stopped him
there to inquire whether 30c an
hour, which they said was the pre-
vailing pay for farm work, could
be construed as. reasonably good
wages while men in industry re-*
ceived $1 and more. The questions
were fired so fast and were so
varied, though, that the secretary
never got around to answering them.
Wiekard outlined a six-point pro-
gram which he said might alleviate
but was no panacea for what is
certain to be a very difficult sit-
uation. The proposals included:
Retention on farms of experienced
managers, transportation of work-
ers from surplus areas to critical
labor areas, training of inexperi-
enced workers in the fundamentals
of farming, expanding use of women
and young people on farms, more re-
cruiting for industry "Tn cities and
less in farm regions, and fuller
utilization of available farm labor.
