T. Hubby, it's chairman, made a special call for more aid in supplies The statement fol- lows:
 we feel that all Arkansas will learn of our distress ard help us. We had no idea that statewide appeal is even worse than any of us ever dreamed of. We must have help. We must get food, clothing and money here to care for the thousands who are destitute, and I feel that Arkan- sas will not fail us.
 We are just beginning to realize the awful calamity that has come to Newport and residents in the county surrounding this town for a distance of 20 miles.
 From the best information we have been able to obtain, between 4,0O0 and 5000 persons are absolutely destitute. Many of them have escaped with only the clothes on their back All they possessed in the world in the way of clothing and food has been destroyed by the flood, which is the greatest and most destructive in the history of this section of the state
 Newport is able to care for it's residents, although many of them, like those in the outlying districts, are without food and clothing It is the residents of rural sections, many women and children who have been imprisoned in their homes for days, who are now coming into Newport de- manding assistance. The situation is critical, and I am compelled to ask the good people of Arkansas to send anything they can in the way of food clothing and money to relieve the present condition"
