ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 13.-The
question of the dump at Four-Mile Run,
forming the northern boundary Of this
city, came in for considerable discus
sion at a meeting Of the Public Rela-
lions Committee of the Alexandria
Chamber Of Commerce, presided over
by Harry Hammond, chairman, yester-
day afternoon.
The matter was referred to joint
meeting of subcommittee on city, State
and national government: streets and
roads and advertising and publicity,
which will meet early next week.
Also discussed was a movement to
have the State Assembly enact legisla-
ton to require a drivers license in this
State as method of preventing the
numerous automobile accidents which
occur. This matter was referred to the
subcommittee on legislation and taxa
ton
In an effort to bring pressure to bear
on the State Assembly to grant the cities
some portion Of the gasoline license
tax, which now goes entirely to the
counties, the matter was referred to the
Committee on Legislation and Taxation
for action.
A resolution, recently adopted by the
Chamber of Commerce of New York
concerning the influence of commodities
produced in Soviet Russia on the world
depression was discussed and the mat
ter referred to the board of directors
The resolution referred to- which was
sent to President Hoover and members
of Congress, urged that the giving OF
| technical advice and Industrial equip
ment to the rulers of Russia which
aids them to destroy the economic and
political system under which we live
be abandoned as being wholly unjustifieC
on political, economic, social and moral
grounds.

APPEALS CONTINUE
FOR DROUGHT AID
Walsh Requests Hyde to Ex-
tend Loans to Valley
County, Mont.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Drought, which scared large part
Of the country last year, still holds
sway over much of the Northwest.
Appeals for Government financial aid
continue to be made In behalf of Strick-
en- farmers facing the loss OF another
crop.
Senator WHfsh, democrat, Montana,
asked Secretary Hyde yesterday to ex-
tend drought loans to Valley County,
Mont, where so per cent crop failure
was held to be in prospect.
The. Glasgow, Mont, Chamber of
Commerce wired Senator Walsh that
mo beneficial rains" have fallen in
Valley County in two years. and that
the crops will be total loss If no re-
lief comes by July l.
A number of other requests have been
made for further time in which to APP
ply for drought loans or to include new
areas in the original drought list for
which Congress appropriated emergency
funds for seed loans and farm rehabili-
tation.
At the department it was pointed out
that Valley County was not included in
the original list. It also was said the
time for crop planting has passed, and
there appeared to be no means by which
the department could reopen the loans
closed since April 80.
Senator Thomas, Republican, Idaho,
was informed Friday that loans could
not be made in two counties of his
State because they were not drought
counties.
Senator Walsh, nevertheless, was in
vited to submit the appeal of inc Glas-
gov Chamber of Commerce to the de-
partment for study.
The chamber added IN its telegram
that the Red Cross has done excellent
work, but cannot continue indefinitely
The Northwest has experienced de-
ficiency of rainfall for more than year
while the remainder of the country,
hard hit by the 1880 drought received
generous rains.
The Spring wheat belt has been par
ticularly dry, and the condition of that
crop was reported on June l to be the
poorest on record. The Weather Blu
reau said heavy rains are needed to
avert complete failure.
While the Agriculture Department
has rejected practically all requests for
time extensions in original drought
States, an extension from April 80 to
May Is was granted to Montana, Ore
gon, Washington and Pennsylvania
counties because of local conditions.
