Other taxation recommenda

The fonoUition contended that
unless' deductions were allowed
the new, high tax rates might
force many persons to drop life
Insurance or lose their homes.
The principle of monthly or
(Uiirterly collection of income
taxes was favored.
. The grangers' proposed that
non essential government expendi
ture be kept at a minumum, that
all governmental agencies created
to meet specific problems which
no longer exist should be abolish
ed, and that the number of non
essential government employes
should lie reduced to "release
manpower for essential war
needs."
The convention criticized tho
parity price formula as obsolete
because the 1009-14 price level, on
which it is based, had been out
dated by the great increase in the
cost of farm labor.

Draft Registration
Of Teen-Age Units Set
(Continued from page 1.)
a critical shortage of physicists
has been recognized by the war
manpower commission and selec
tive service, and the later agency
disclosed today new procedure
for obtaining draft deferment for
persons In that field.
A national committee has been
set up with authority to investi
gate physicists whose deferment
has been requested by a college
or other employer on the ground
that he has special training and
skill and is a necessary man in
his work.
If the committee agrees ' the
man is necessary, It will endorse
the application for his deferment
and return it to the man's local
board, The committee may appeal
If the local board nevertheless
classifies the man as available for
military service or for "assign
ment to work of national import

will be set up In those fields.
Late registrations will be per
mitted for those unable to pres
ent themselves during the stated
periods because of circumstances
beyond their control.
The chief executive asked that
all employers give their workers
sufficient time off to complete
their registrations.
Ex-Convicts Acceptable . ,
Selective service headquarters
revealed today that local hoards
had been instructed to reclassif
all registrants heretofore defer
red because of conviction ol
crimes.
No more deferments are to be
made on this ground unless the
registrants "are completely dis
qualified morally and are not
eligible for a waiver under the
new army standards," the boards
were told.
The army ha,s authorized
waivers in "especially meritorious
cases" even for men who have
served terms for treason, murder,
rape, kidnaping, arson and other
"heinous crimes" if their conduct
has been fitting for at least six
months after their release from
confinement.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 !AP
Selective Service Director ller
shey announced today that men
deferred as essential farm work
ers must get approval of their
draft boards if they wish to leave
their iobs or else be classified as i
available for Immediate military
service,
This applies to married men
with children as well as to all
others, Hershey's aides said, and
is effective immediately.
The regulation was revealed in
an announcement of instructions
sent by Ilershey to local boards
covering provisions of the new
draft act which lowers the mini
mum age to 18.
In addition to ordering local
boards to reclassify men who
quit essential farm work without
advance notice, the instructions
forbade the boards to release uny
farm-deferred men "for voluntary
enlistment in either land or naval
forces."

called its executive session, op- ,

"The time is ttio short between ;
now and the end of this session to
give this measure the considera

Knutson (It-Minn), a member of
the committee.
"The president," he continued,
"has till the power he needs to
