Farm bloc pressure tonight forced
a modification of proposed work-or-go-to-jail
legislation to protect
essential farm labor.
Chairman Andrew J. May (D.-

would be written into the bill
"specifically providing that noth

amendment" which governs farm j
deferments.
The bill, Intended to mobilize
home front manpower by forcing ;
men 18 to 45 to take or keep es-
sential Jobs under penalty of fine
and imprisonment, would in no
way abrogate the Tydings amend
ment, May said, but a specific
amendment seemed necessary to
"remove the fears of seme of the

Dealers here are finding them

point i-alues are so high that
point-shy consumers cannot af

dealers find it impossible to keep

The French 1st army hurled
troops, tanks and guns into

relieve the critical front

where German armor rein
forced by panzers from the
Ardennes bulge had swept
back the U. S. 7th army five
miles.
Simultaneously, the British 2nd
army merged its two drives from
the Dutch flank of the erupting
front into a seven-mile broad ad
vance on the Rhineland with
white-camouflaged tanks, stab
