Hoover Begins Work

Washington, Aug. IS P}-Super- vision of the drought-relief ma chinery now in the making engaged the attention of President Hoover to- day after weekend at his Virginia camp in which recreation played a small part.
 Even the presence of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh among the guests at the mountain lodge was made by the president an occasion for more work-a study of the avia- tion industry's needs and of the gov. ernment air service structure.
 The drought problem, which en- gagged his attention almost exclu- sively last week. followed him on the outing in conferences with Secretary Hyde and Chairman Legge of the farm board. The state organizations for relief of their stricken farm populations are expected by the president to be functioning in a short time and he wants the federal agen- cies ready to give them immediate cooperation.
