Arnold admitted. The Air Forces chief contend that this was chiefly due to the "lagging" of production. KEEPING 4-F'S IN ESSENTIAL. JOBS Representaives Sparkman and Costello then urped Secretary Stimson to assume the responsibility responsi-bility for keeping draft-deferred 4-F's in essential war jobs. The two congressmen contended, however, how-ever, that the War Department should maintain main-tain camps, comparable to those for the conscientious con-scientious objectors, to keep them on the job. Sparkman and Costello pointed out to Stimson that many War workers quit their essential jobs once they were classified" t-F because-they no longer long-er needed to worry about deferment. Costello said that there was a shortage of over 3.0t"0 vorkers in California aircraft plants alone, yet more than 4,300 persona were receiving unemployment compensation com-pensation in California. St rm son afrrertt that strong measures must be taken to prevent "loafrng" in war plants, but added that this was a problem for the War Manpower Commission. Told later about Stimson'a position, General Hershey declared, "I'm perfectly willing to take over th -J-F's providing we have camps for re- alcitrants set up alwng military lines. There ire who are I ! Here's Your 4-F Labor Army By PETER EDSON Washington Correspondent Congressional proposals for putting put-ting all 4-F"s in labor battalions, which will be taken up after the Easter recess, make it worth while looking at these 4-Fs to see what's the matter wifi them, and what kind of a work force they would make. Selective service headquarters report that as of Jan. 1 there were approximately 3,437,000 men between be-tween the ages of 18 and 37 classified clas-sified 4-F. That is a sizeable body of men nearly 45 per cent of the strength of the entire Army itself and considering that the botton of that barrel has already been exposed in the search 'or effective manpower for armed services and essential industries, this is a tempting reserve on which to draw. Also, it offers Congress a convenient substitute for the Austin-Wadsworth compulsory com-pulsory service law proposal.

TfY mother was buried in the town cemetery. Her friends of the years in which she lived in town were most sympathetic and helpful, although they shied away from my grandfather.

This time we wepe-'f Orced to borrow from the government for our seed. The planting of the seed that dry spring seemed hopeless, and proved to be futile. But it was certain that there could be no crop if nothing were planted, and there was always the possibility that rain would come. When it didn't, we were forced to go again to the government for loans with which to purchase feed for the livestock. on the farm no longer was the pressing consideration. We were concerned whoUy with fundamentals, fundamen-tals, keeping the soil, seeking to make it produce, feeding our stock, and getting enough food for ourselves. our-selves.

Once these men were inducted into the services. serv-ices. the government would be responsible for them for life, thc same as any other veterans. Now. if the services discover physical deficiency within a reasonable time after induction, a man may be discharged before he becomes a pnblic responsibility. Maybe it is the public's responsibility to care for its physically handicapped but is it the job of the Army and Navy to take care of them?
