HYDE TO EXPLAIN
DROUGHT IN FORUM.
Hoover's Right Hand Man in
Crisis to Broadcast OBJ
ServationS.

Arthur NJ Hyde. Secretary of Agri-
culture, who has been President Hoo
ver's field marshal in preparing and
carrying out his national drought-relief
program, will give graphic picture
of the critical situation in the affected
areas in the National Radio Forum ar
ranged by The Star and broadcast over
the coaxt-to-coast network Of the Co
lumbia Broadcssting System at $50
o'clock tomorrow night.
Secretary Hyde on this occasion will
not only attempt to give vivid word
picture of the extent of the Drought
and the amount of damage and distress
resulting from the lack OF water, but
he will irtima tely discuss the plans be-
ing formulated by the President to meet
this great problem. This will be the
first time any one representing the ad-
ninistration has publicly revealed the
inside story of the Presidents activities
in narShaling the agencies OF the Fed
eral Government as well as those OF
the IL States directly affected, TO eH-
tend the necessary relief.
None Better InfOrmes.
No other man identified with this
relief program, not even President
garding this subject than is Secretary
Hyde
Mr.. HYDE has been on an Inspection
trip in the Midwest for the purpose of
collecting first-hand information re-
garding the seriousness of the drought.
He was summoned back to Washington
last Thursday by the President for a
report on his observations and to be
on hand to assist him. Since then the
Secretary has instructed every field
agent Of the Department of Agriculture
TO keep him posted and 1t has been
chiefly upon these reports that Presi-
dent Hoover has formed his calculations
and estimates in mapping out his gen.
eral relief program. Mr.. Hyde has sat
in on virtually every conference the
President has held in connection with
the drought problem and will be at his
side during the conference of Governors
of IL States called by the President at
the White House tomorrow.
Has Prepared Drought Charts.
Secretary Hyde also has been busy
having prepared various maps and
charts showing the extent of the
drought and the nature of the damage
and distress. These have been eX-
tremely helpful to the President in the
formulation OF his relief organization
work. He was asked by the President
TO spend the week end with him at
his Rapidan fishing camp to assist him
IN working out his plans.
Mr.. HYDE, who was formerly Gov
ernor of Missouri, is himself a farmer
on an extensive scale and is otherwise
peculiarly fitted from personal expert
ence and study to serve as a valuable
adviser to the President during this
grave situation.
