Relief Is Not Seen.
Weather Bureau forecasts offered no
hope of encouragement to harassed
governmental agencies and a suffering
rural population today IN the face OF
Nationwide crop losses and increased
needs for relief over steadily widening
drought area.
While the Department of Agriculture
estimates the crop loss at nearly bill

Of food shortage striking at the cities.
the Weather Bureau reluctantly admit
ted today that there was no indication
Of q break in the drought situation.
Local showers in various sections of the
country. hardly enough to bring any
succor to stricken communities, appear
rs the only measure of physical relief.
For the washington district, the
forecast included AN outside chance"
for thundershoWers tonight or tomor-

day, and the maximum Of e8 degrees
that brought relief at about ! o'clock

Assurance reached the President from

they would cooperate in any measures

to unaffected grazing lands are under
