AID FOR RED CROSS.
Cows. ParneII and Case Join
Payne in Effort to Com
pIete Drive.

Radio carried a nationwide appeal
last night from several points, to urge
the. American people to raise the $l0,-
100000 fund necessary for Red Cross
drought relief.
Gov. Harvey Parnell of Arkansas, the
State hardest hit; Gov. Norman s. Case
Of Rhode Island and Judge John Bar
ton Payne, Red Gross chairman, partic-
ipated in special program urging the
raising Of S2,500,0o0 necessary to COM
plete the fund.
Their address went over the National
Broadcasting Co. system, which was
paid for its service by the General Foods
Corporation.
Judge Payne from Washington said
the money already received is now be-
ing spent and enables the Red Cross
to carry on
S2,5OO,OOO More Needed.
'ATwo and half millions more will
complete the fund" he added. This
will enable the Red Cross to care for
the sufferers until the barren farms
come again into production"
Gov. Parnell, speaking from the
Executive Mansion at Little Rock, said
his state would not admit permanent
defeat, but we need and must have
temporary help and We must have it
speedily"
The Rhode Island Governor, speak
ing from Providence, said that, on
behalf of the East, he had sent iasSur-
ances to the Arkansas Governor that
every penny of the amount requested
by the American Red Cross to carry en-
relief work will be raised forthwith
At the beginning of the current
month 255,737 families in 735 counties
OF 20 States affected by the drought
were receiving aid from the Red Cross,
according to the first complete report
tabilated at the organizations national
headquarters yesterday.
More Than 100000 Fed.
Since Census Bureau statistics over
many decades show an average Of four
and a fraction persons per family, this
would indicate that more than q million
individuals are being fed.
Arkansas was by far the most famine
stricken State, 1873 of its families
receiving food, clothing and other relief
Louisiana came second, with 35,409
families.
Other States totaled Mississippi,
1914 families; Kentucky, 17,490; Okla
homa, 1928; Missouri 1884; Texas,
1906; Alabama, SITS; Ohio, 1856;

AS compared with the 255,73 fam
lies made destitute by drought, Red

NEW YORK, May l8. W.P)-The
downward trend on the stock ex-
change was given fresh impetus to-
day by futher urgent liquidation in
the principal railroad shares and
the adverse influence of a break
below par in United States Steel

principal losers. Atchison broke 10
poinls to a new bear market low;

burn more than 6. and the other

General U. S. Webb In presenting
California's views TO the supreme
court. Childers said he would be in
a position to make a more compre-
hensive statement when the exact
terms of the dismissal are made
public.
Several of the directors of the ir-
rigation district today expressed
their pleasure at the news of the
dismissal of the suit. 1T removes
the last doubt about the reality of
Boulder dam," declared Director
Ira Aten. 1T also gives the west
the certainty of having the great
