Controller General McCarl courteously
but firmly has declined to accept one of
the monumental new buildings in the

This surprising development came to

the question as to who will occupy the
beautiful new building to be erected
shortly at the corner of Twelfth and B

In an attempt to get definite meas.
ure of the extent of damage and dis
tress in the areas affected by the
drought, President Hoover this after
noon directed the Secretary OF Agri-
culture to telegraph set OF questions
mares to all field agents of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
This step was determined upon after
the noon hour today, following q long
conference between the President and
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde. who
hurried back from Missouri at the
request of the President to be at his
side to assist him In handling the
serious situation arising as a result OF
the prolonged drought.
Secretary Hyde,s oral report to the
President, was to the extent that the
situation is extremely bad, but not
hopeless. II there is substantial rain
within the next few days, the problem
will be greatly helped.
On Monday the President will receive
the report of survey now being made
under the auspices of the Department
Of Agriculture, which will give very
definite estimate of the extent OF the
drought area and the damage being
caused. This report however, will by
no means be as complete or accurate as
the individual reports to be received
from the field agents in response to the
QUESTIONABLE being sent out today.
Red Cross to Stand BY.
In marshaling the forces at his COM
mand to meet what now appears TO
be a very serious situation throughout
a wide area of the country east OF the
Rocky Mountains, President Hoover to-
day directed the American Red Cross
to stand ready for an emergency call.
AS result of this, the latter organiza-
ton Is making preliminary prepare.
tions to bring into play its many local
organizations.
The President received q rather
optimistic picture Of the situation from
two farm organization heads who called
at the White House to discuss the sit
uation with him.
These were Samuel Thompson OF
Chicago, president of the American
Farm Federation. and G. E. Huff, presi-
dent of the Farmers National Grange
Corporation They were of the opinion
that the virtual destruction of the corn
crop as the result of the drought viii
serve to dispose of the wheat surplus.
Hoover Question.
The QUESTIONABLE being sent to the
field agents of the Department Of Agri-
culture today contains the following
important questions which were out.

roadside; don't knock out pipe
ashes where they will set fire TO
dry leaves"

carelessness, 1t was said, should
be needed by suburbanites whose
lawns are dry and brown from
