THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Two Senators Seek Solution To Farm Draft
A congressional inquiry was proposed by Senators Reed and Tydings "to determine who is responsible for the wholesale induction of essential farmers and farm workers where no replacements are available." At the same time the two senators introduced a measure reaffirming the policy of the Tydings amendment to the draft act, which specifies that essential agricultural employees shall not be drafted unless replacements for them are found.
In a report to the senate, Tydings said Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey told local draft boards to go ahead and draft farm workers whether there were replacements or not. This attitude taken by Hershey, in complete disregard of the Tydings amendment, holds a danger not only for the farmers but for the entire nation.
War Food Administrator Marvin F. Jones set new and record-breaking crop goals for America recently. The total crop planting was scheduled at 368,635,000 acres, which is 3 per cent more than in 1944. In addition, congressional appropriation for the farm-labor progress is $10,-000,000 less than last year. Other plans for 1945 include the use of only 60,000 Mexican farm laborers instead of the usual 70,000 or more.
Despite these facts, 364,000 farm men are being called up by their draft boards for reexamination. Many have already been placed in the armed forces, and a total of 180,. 698 are expected to be in the ranks soon.
Loss of these workers will leave the farmers and the nation in a precarious situation unless the proposed inquiry is held immediately, as farmers claim the attainment of the goal set by Jones is impossible if drafting laborers continues.
Meanwhile farmers throughout the nation wrote their congressmen such appeals as, "If my boy is taken, our farm will be idle, as I am 70 years old;" and "I am blind and have only one son who can help on the farm."
Senate Asked to Ratify Monetary Fund Proposal
Washington — (INS) — The U.S. senate was asked today by President Roosevelt to ratify the Breton Woods proposal for an international monetary funds in an international bank. In a message the Chief Executive called on Congress to authorize American contributions to the two international organizations totalling $5,900,000,000.
Rock Chalk Talk

Kansas State Kappa's were more than panic-stricken when they walked into the Kappa house here on a recent visit and found a German flag hanging from the stairway. Great was their relief upon discovering they were not in a Nazi underground. Mary Louise Laffer had received the flag from an overseas friend as a token of his esteem, and inquisitive sisters had hung it from the railing for a better view.
Prof. L. N. Flint, journalism department, gets our vote for favorite absent-minded professor. Rising bright and early the other morning, Mr. Flint noticed a peculiar sting, as he spread shaving cream on his face. A quick glance at the tube told him he was using toothpaste. Hating to waste the precious stuff, he proceeded to shave with it. That's

Second-childhood diseases will hang on. The poor little fella's in PT-8 were almost quarantined for chicken-pox last week.
And then there's Miss Marjorie Whitney, design department, who has a complete understanding of the tardy nature of her students. She called her patiently waiting 8:30 class the other day at 10:30, to inform them that there would be no class that morning.
"Pinky" Schirk and Ed Read have been seen around campus lately playing "Patty-cake, patty-cake." Sweet, isn't it?
Joyce Hartwell sat dreamily listening to the music which originated from Stillwater, Okla. "Just think," she whispered, "Ferd is probably right there listening to this same program." The music ended and Joyce gave out with a wistful sigh. "This program has been transcribed," said the announced.
