HYDE HEADS GROUP
 ON DROUGHT RELIEF
(Contlnued From First Page)

committee will be Chairman Legge
 of the federal farm board; Paul | Bestor, federal farm loan commis-
 sioner; Roy A. Young, governor of the federal reserve board; John Bar ton Payne, chairman of the Ameri- can Railway association; Ogden
 Mills, under secretary of the treas ury, and Henry M. Robinson. presi- dent of the First National bank of Los Angeles.
 President Hoover announced the Hyde appointment, saying approxi- mately 300 counties were. now em- braced within the drought region where conditions are regarded by relief officials as serious. The real burden confronting the stricken farmers, he said, was not expected 10 be reached next winter.
 His statement said latest reports continue to show the drought was severe and that rains had improved conditions only in non-acute areas.
 Tn accordance with the conclu- sions of my conference with the gov- ernors," the presidents statement said, T have appointed Secretary Hyde to undertake coordination be- tween federal and state activities as chairman of the national drought committee.
 The members of the committee will appoint alternate or additional members from time to time to un- dertake special problems before the committee. Mr. Robinson has con- scnted to serve on the committee for purposes of coordinating federal with state and private credit activ- ities. The headquarters of the na- tional drought committee are being set up in the department of agri- culture.
 Hard Winter Ahead "Continuing reports confirm the severity of the situation and the in- evitability of distress over the win ter in the acutely affected countries, which now apparently number some thing over 300" MT Hoover said.
 The rains of the laF few days have stemmed the spread of the drought and greatly improved the situation outside of the acutely af- fected area. In those areas the de struCtion of crops has proceeded 10 q point that is beyond any great de- gree of recovery, although pastur- age should improve.
 Tt must be borne in mind that from a relief point of view the bur den of the problem in the acute area will show very much more vividly over the winter than at the present moment.
 "G have received from all sec tions of the drought area high ap- l preciation of the railways for their prompt and constructive action, It is 2 notable act of courageous cooper ation and has been undertaken in the face of seriously reduced tn- comes due to the depression. It en- ! phasizes the public interest of main- taining the strength and financial stability Of our railways that they 1 shall be able to cooperate in times

US. Pleases Polish Monsignor,
 He Says On Visit to This City

Rev. Alexander Kowalczyk, ad- ministrator of the Sacred Heart par ish, is a host to the Very Reverend Monsignor Joseph Rokoszny of Po- land, master of sacred theology. He will remain in this city for several days.
 Monsignor Rokoszny came to this country six months ago to study the educational institutions of this coun- try in general and the Polish schools in particular. He was delegated by his Eminence, Cardinal Hlond. arch bishop of Gnesen-Posen, and pri- mate of all Poland. and also by the minister of education of the Polish government. His mission. therefore, has double character, ecclesiast- cal and governmental.
 The Sacred Heart school in this city was the last he visited. He praised the behavior and intellec- tual achievements of the pupils,
 His impresoin of America favorable. He admires the grea. hospitality of the Americans and their sincere willingness to be Of assistance to everyone The demo- cratic institutions and psychology made also a deep impression on the monsisnor.
 Regarding education in general he also expressed high praise and ad- miration, although he stressed the essential difference between the educational policy in Poland and here; in Poland more weight is put on developing the reasoning power, here, however, on memory.
 Monsignor Rokoszny, professor at the diocesan seminary at Sandomir, Poland, for many years and coun- selor of the Polish government in matters of public educational, will soon publish a detailed memorial of his studies here, which will be pre- sented to his Eminence, the Primate of Poland and to the Polish govern ment.
 Rev. Father Kowalczyk has re- ceived a long letter from Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski mailed from the Panama Canal, October 15, in which he writes that he enjoyed the trip, suffering only a few hours of sea sickness. He looks with great op- timism towards his missionary work in South America, his first stop being at Cuzco, Polish settlement in Peru.
