Department of Agriculture to
Submit Report Monday of
Effect of Weather.
CAPITAL SEES NO RELIEF
FOR PRESENT HOT WAVE
Prisoners Impressed to Combat
Forest Fire Spreading in
Nearby Virginia.

President Hoover took a hand in ef-
forts to relieve distress from the I'M
precedented drought today as reports to
the Weather Bureau failed to bring any
promise of immediate relief from the
heat wave.
The seriousness of the situation in a
wide area east of the Mississippi and
In the Middle West has been the sub
ject of conferences between Mr.. Hoover
and Secretary Hyde.
The result was to order a detailed
survey made by the Department OF
Agriculture which will have report
next Monday.
President Hoover in statement to-
day said:
Presidents Statement.
..The drought situation has been the
subject of several conferences between
Secretary Hyde, Chairman Legge and
myself. The Department of Agricul-
ture has undertaken detailed survey
of the situation. They viii report next
in the country. The information so
far indicates great variation in the
effect of the drought, both as between
States, between counties in those
States, and even between farms In the
same counties.
There can be no doubt as to its
most serious character in many locah-
ties, and that unless relieved there
will be real suffering. The maximum
intensity seems to lie In belt roughly
following the Potomac, the Ohio and
the Mississippi Rivers.
THE measure of assistance that the
Farm Board and the other agencies OF
the Federal Government can and should
undertake are being determined.
Relief Planned Later.
"It is evident already that large
measures of feed movement to live stock
In the drought areas or movement OF
animals out of the worst areas will need
be undertaken later in the Fall. 1t is too
early to determine the precise character
of relief; much depends upon the further
spread of the drought, but no stone Will
be left unturned by the Federal Gov
eminent in giving assistance to local
authorities. I have asked the railways
to investigate the situation from trans
portaton point Of view"
Today there were prospects OF only
local showers IN various sections and
none at all for the Washington district.
An ominous note crept into discus
sions of reports from the drought-seared
regions OF the Central and southern
States as agricultural interests began
seeking relief through governmental
and commercial channels. Forecasts
made by the United States Weather
Bureau, which indicates no relief IN
sight from general rains, added to the
seriousness Of conditions said to threat

MACARTHUR PICKED
AS HEAD OF ARMY,
FULLER OF MARINES
Youngest Major General to
Replace SummeralI on Re-
tirement This Fall.

President Hoover today named Maj.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur to be chief
of staff of the Army to succeed Maj.
Gen. Charles p. Summerall when he
retires from that Office next November,
and Brig. Gen. B. Fl. Fuller to be COM
mandant of the Marine Corps to I'LL
the vacancy left by the death of Gen.
Wendell c. Neville.
Gen. Macarthur is at present on
temporary duty in China, but is expect
ed to report to Washington considerably
in advance of November 81 when Gen.
Summerall will retire as chief Of staff.
The selection of the youngest major
general to take command OF the Amer
ican Army came as somewhat of sur
prise to officials in Army circles here.
It is known, however, that, besides his
brilliant record, he was picked because
he is the senior major general whose
age would permit him to serve the full
four-year term as chief of staff. The
group of major generals who outrank
Gen. Macarthur in the matter of
seniority would be unable to serve four
years before their retirement.
Gen. MacArthur's selection was made
by the President upon the recon-
msndation of Secretary of War Hurley
Speculation on Commandant.
The selection of Gen. Fuller was
made upon the Recommendation of Sec
rotary of the Navy Adams. There was
considerable speculation in various
quarters of Washington as to the selec-
ton of Gen. NeWlle's successor. Gen.
Fuller has been acting commandment of
the corps since Gen. Neville's death sew
eral weeks ago, and II is understood that
his long service at the coDlmandant
headquarters in Washington, during
which time he acquired wide knowledge
of the administration of the affairs of
the corps and displayed real capacity
as an administrator, is understood to
have had much to do with his selection.
Both of these important selections
were announced personally today by
President Hoover. Both Gen. Mac
Arthur and Gen. Fuller were comph-
mented highly by the Executive. Re
garding the appointment of Gen. Mac
Arthur, the President said:
ct gives me pleasure to promote so
brilliant soldier. He is the only one
of the major generals having a sutl-
cient period to serve in the Army before
retirement to serve the full four-year
term as chief of staff. There are sew
eral very eminent generals who rank
Gen. Macarthur, but none of them
could serve more than year and a
half of the full term. feel certain
that Gen. Macarthur will maintain the
high standard set by the eminent men
who have preceded him as chief of
staff"

Two persons have been badly burned,
rail and road trafflc on the northwest
grade out of Winchester, neal here, has
been halted, and the roaring tongues

and business buildings.
Damage already is estimated at half
O million dollars.
This once-tkriving little lumber
center, in setting of fertile Shenan-
doah Valley farm and woodland, today
presented q scene Of desolation.
The heat from the burning lumber
yard forces back any motorist who
attempts to take the northwest highway
through the town, the flames have
eaten along the Winchester and War

trafie and other buildings are in
danger as the fire continues.
South Side Buildings Destroyed.
The post office, eight dwellings,

other buildings on the south side of the
town have been completely destroyed.
They burned before their occupants
could save much of their household
goods, and these, piled high in the
roadway that divides the town, are In

flames and smoke that marks where

Firenoen saw that nothing can be done
to stay the flames, for the drought that

grip has so dried up the streams that 1t
Is impossible to get water to quench the
flames.
The injured are Blondel Larrick, Gore
