WASHINGTON, July /.
(UP) = Need for rain in
drought stricken regions is
more widespread than in
either 1880 or 1884, the
weather bureau reported in it's
weekly crop bulletin.
Government emergency agencies,
massing forces for the stupendous
task of combating effects of scar
ing sun and lack of moisture, were
advised there is urgent need for
rain NEARLY everywhere" in the
United States.
The weather bureau said that
in 1880 and 1894, when the worst
droughts in history ravaged agri-
cultural regions, the situation was
mot nearly so critical" at the end
of June as it is today.
The report added that in both
previous drCughts, the situation
became more critical and caused
the greatest crop damage during
July and August.
Relief Planned
Coordination of federal agencies
for relief of drought sufferers in
the plains states was planned by
a special committee appointed by
President Roosevelt.
First objective of the committee
was funds for aid of the vast
mid and northwest section raw
aged by drought, heat and insects.
No estimate of the amount needed
was available since conditions are
becoming more acute daily.
Stressing the need for imme-
diate action, Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Henry A Wallace discussed
the problem in his office with
representative of the WPA, re-
settlement administration and act
ing Budget Director Daniel w
Bell.
A committee was set up within

BRITISH SEEK
THUMBS DOWN
ON CONQUEST

GENEVA, July l. (UP) - An
thOny Eden, British foreign sec
retary, asked the Assembly of the
League of Nations today to refuse
to recognize Italy's conquest of
Ethiopia.
At the same time, he urged the
dropping of sanctions against It
ally.
Because of the failure of the
league machinery to halt the war
in Ethiopia, Eden suggested that
a reform of the covenant might
be considered usefully at the
September assembly.
Eden's address followed one by
Premier Leon Blum of France,
who, admitting the leagues fail
ure to a situation similar to that
of 1914, asked for prompt action
to preserve peace, and declared
omin0usly that France would not
remain passive if her soil or that
of her allies is invaded.
