ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, January 80
Former Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Vir-
ginia, chairman of the Drought Com
mission of his State, Tuesday sent a
telegram to Representativ r. Walton
Moore in which he challenges" Secre-
tary of Agriculture Hyde to reconvene
the drought chairmen to determine the
Secretary's exact stand on drought re-
lief proposals.
Chairman Byrd here for a brief va
cation. asserted in his communication
to Representative Moore that Secretary
Hyde did indorse, in spite of his re-
ported denial, the resolution adopted by
the Drought Conference recommending
loans to States for construction Oh
cheaper types Of roads.
Secretary Hyde's recollection of what
occurred at the Drought Conference,
Mr. Byrd said, lis SO much at variance
with the views of a large majority of
the chairmen attending, not only with
respect to this particular subject but in
other important matters, that 1 chal-
lenge him to reconvene the drought
chairmen so as to determine the truth. "
Mr.. Byrd said another meeting
should be held for other important
reasons, but especially should the ac-
tual facts be established and avoid the
confusion created in Congress occa-
stoned by a misinterpretation of the
happenings of the conference"
