WASHINGTON, March 19.-An
Appropriation of only $4,000 for
flood relief work in Alabama,
Georgia and Florida was made to-
day by national headquarters of the
American Red Cross.
This small sum will supplement
whatever amounts are contributed in
all parts of the country.
Plans for expanding the money are
being drawn up by relief headquar-
ters at Montgomery, Ala, which has
charge of Red Cross flood relief ac-
tivities. The money will undoubtedly
be used for relief of the white farm
ers only. a-a
Tho the department of agriculture
has $6,000,000 intended for flood re-
lief, department officials stated to-
day that none of this can be used
en- the basis of damage in the present
flood, but if some of the sufferers
this year were flooded last year too,
they may get some money for that.
