North DAK0TA.WlLL
JOIN IN MOVE FOR
NATIONAL PLANNING
State Board Seeks Information
on How to Launch Move.
mont In This Area

Seeking to have actual operations
launched by the federal government.
the North Dakota state planning
board met here Tuesday prepared to
press for immediate assignment Of q
consultant from the national planning
board to assist with the work In this
state.
Governor william LANCER has COM
municated to the national body his
intention to foster legislation to fur
ther the work of the state board and
to appoint representative to the re-
gional advisory board which will serve
the Dakotas and Montana, compris-
Ing national district No. 8. This &C.
ton by the governor, together with
filing Of the formal application for I
consultant from Washington, quail
flies North Dakota for recognition by
the national board.
Matters which come under the jur-
isdiction Of the state body include
river development, public works, land
classification and utilization, deter
mination Of recreational centers and
parks, study Of transportation facili-
ties, and location Of public parks,
structures and highways.
Executive Committee Named
Tuesdays meeting was called by s
e. Ellsworth, jamestown, chairman
OF the state planning board. M. O.
Ryan, secretary Of the Greater North
Dakota Association. Fargo, was
named vice chairman OF the board,
succeeding r. M. Stangler, Bismarck
who resigned. Ellsworth, Ryan, and
Prof. Peter Anderson, Fargo, were
named the executive committee of the
board and empowered to act for the
board, with the assent Of any other
one member.
Prof. Anderson and Mr.. Ryan were
named q special committee to press
for immediate action from Washing
ton on the application for the assign
ment OF q consultant and to secure an
early ruling from the federal govern
ment as to whether technical person.
mel Of the state board is to be chosen
by the board or from Washington.
The national PWA, under which
the planning boards operate, has In
mind the determination OF q 10-year
plan Of development" Ellsworth de-
clared. TT is the intent Of this board
to see that the PWA Is made familiar,
first Of all with the present need for
moisture conservation in North Da-
kota. and that any 10-year program
which Is mapped out shall give major
consideration to this real need. Our
board is convinced that the two out
standing public works projects, aside
from technical planning for future
development, are the Missouri river
diversion project and the state wide
land classification survey which has
already been proposed to the PWA."
Permanent location of the office Of
the state planning board was discuss
ed, but no definite action was taken
on this matter.

ROOSEVELT AWAITS
RAINFALL REPORTS
TO GUIDE ACTION
Seeks Natures Help Before
Asking Huge Sum for
Fight With Drouth
HOPE FOR FARM REVIVAL
Plenty OF Precipitation Would
Permit Scaling Down Of
Relief Work

Washington, June 8. 0P - The
weather man became President
Roosevelt's chief brain truster We'd
nesday. The president watched rain
charts for guidance in penning Z
drouth message concerning the largest
sum ever mobilised against q calam-
tty Of nature.
Roosevelt is committed to q program
calling for at least $525. 900 900, ap-
proved Tuesday In q conference with
congressional leaders. Advisers said
he was waiting to see to what extent
promised rains will relieve the situa-
ton in the scared farmlands.
They pointed out that enough
money Is available now to meet the
crisis for some time and that there Is
no immediate need for congress to
act on an appropriation. Harry L.
Hopkins, relief administrator, indicat-
ed he could continue pouring out
money for weeks without scraping
the bottom Of the relief barrel.
In any event. the president Is ex-
pected to send his message to con-
gress in plenty Of time to get an ap-
preparation. Leaders said passage
would require only q few hours.
It seemed certain the program
would call for flexibility in the ap-
preparation. The administration en-
phasized that the situation was
changing hourly and that to allot
money for specific purposes In an
ironbound way would handicap relief
plans.
Here Is ALLEGATION
Roughly. however, the sum was al
located as follows:
$l0o.000.oo0 - For work and direct
relief.
500, 000, 900 - Livestock purchases.
$l00, 600 900 - Processing and distri-
buting meat acquired by livestock
buying.
$l25, 100000 - For feed and seed
loans.
$5o,o00000 ~ Acquisition on SUBJ
marginal land in the Dakotas, Mon
tana and Wyoming.
$4,000 0O0-Work camps similar 10
the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Hopkins cut q corner across the re-
lief map by announcing he would dis.
tribute to needy families in is states
"a considerable number Of milk COWS
and yearlings bought in the drouth
area.
Secretary Wallace planned to dis
cuss the situation at Bismarck, North
Dakota, Wednesday night. He was
expected to touch also on the future
of the agricultural adjustment pro-
gram in the light Of the drouth.
The farm administration designated
IS new secondary" drouth counties
and pushed its plans for buying, In
stead Of renting, sub-marginal acres
to be returned to the public domain
as 1ame and bird refugees and parks.
An area comprising part Of the Da-
kotas, Montana and Wyoming was
pointed out as an opportune region
In which such buying might yegin.

North Dakota farmers and stock
men looked to the future with more
optimism Wednesday q parts Of the
state again enjoyed showers and
leaden skies gave promise Of more
rain to come.
Too late to help wheat fields to any
considerable extent, the precipitation
Wednesday, which reached q maxi
mum Of 81 Of an inch at Dickinson.
did bring hopes that fodder and
forage crops would respond to the
life-giving rains.
Bismarck, during the night, re-
ceived 90 Of an inch Of rain but the
forecast said showers probable" for
Wednesday night and Thursday and
mot much change in temperature. !"
The U. 8. Weather Bureau here re-
ported that light precipitation was
general.
Although the light showers improve
ed conditions somewhat the general
drouth remains unbroken, presenting
the most serious condition on record.
Slope ID Favored
Dickinson was Wednesdays rain
center In North Dakota. The Stark
county city received q little more than
half an inch. Dunn Center record
ed 20 Of an inch and Beach received
IA of an inch.
Meanwhile the map Of the nation
showed new dry spots Is the dry area
was extended to include the New Eng
land states. Crops in Maine are
threatened by rainless spell already
two weeks old.
Agriculture statisticians In north
western states were almost unanimous
in the opinion that showers now were
too late to help wheat much, but
would prove invaluable In preserving
other crops.
Ohio had rains and expected more
to relieve water shortage in east
ern and southern portions Of the
state.
Minnesota and upper Michigan did
not look for rain but lower tempera-
lures were indicated. Showers were
announced as probable in the Da-
kotas and were to spread eastward
across the dry. parched wheat coun-
try.
Farmers in northeastern Mime
sofa offered to throw open thous-
ands Of acres Of pasture lands, un-
der restrictions, to less fortunate
neighbors in other parts Of the state.
