BY the Associated Press.
An appropriation Of 100000, 900 for
loans to farmers in the drought areas
with which to buy seed. fertilizer and
other necessities for planting next
years crops Is planned by the admin

Der /. Senator McNary, Republican.
Oregon. the chairman Of the Agricul-
tare COMMITTEES. probably win sponsor
the measure IA that branch.
Twensy-o1e states mt.
The seed loans WIN BE- made avail
able TO the farmers Of the II states
included In the drought area during ths
emergency relief period and probably
win be dispensed by the Department Of
Agriculture. This legislation, together
with the bills TO expand the Govern
ment building program In the interests
Of relieving unemployment, win come
mand first attention Of the Congress
under the administration program.
Just how far President Hoover win
recommend that the public works be
expanded Is uncertain, and he an
nounced yesterday he would wait until
the Governments income was more
definitely determined for this year.
However, there Is talk Of doubling the
annual appropriation for public build-
ings from $iO0, OOO, 900 to $500 ,00O. 900.
Also serious consideration Is being given
to suggestions that provision be made
for increased Federal aid in road con-
Struction.
Expect Quick Action.
The 81 states which have been rec
ognized as in the drought area hereto
fore, include: Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Me-
braska, Kansas, Wyoming, Montana,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louis
lana, Alabama, Texas and Mississippi.
The unemployment and drought leg
islation appears to face clear tracks In
both the Senate and House. II Is be-
lieved they can be disposed Of, perhaps,
before the christmas recess.
