tion in Drought Areas Worse
" Than in 1884.
ny the Associated Pres


Although predicting there would be
no general shortage Of drinking water,
w. c. Mendenhall, director of the
Geological Survey, today said more
rains were needed to prevent a serious
shortage In the worst-hit drought
areas.
Generally speaking, he reported
water in wells and streams is more
plentiful than during the 1884
drought. In scattered sections of Ne
braska, Montana and Western North
Dakota, however, he said it was
'1ower than ever before reported"
Accompanying MendenhaIl's report
was q statement by Secretary Ickes,
asserting reservoirs and other prof.
ects Of the Public Works Administra-
tion had accomplished great good"
Mendenhall said Iowa, Illinois, In
diana and Northern Kentucky had
better supplies OF drinking water than
in 1884, and that conditions were
about the same as two years ago In
Montana generally, wyoming and GER

A fourth member union Of the
Committee for Industrial Organization
was preparing for an organization
drive within its industry today as
representatives of the IL C. 7. o.
units gathered here for tomorrow's
conference with John L. Lewis, chair
man.
The newest ''putsch" was announced
last night by Francis J. Gor1nan,
vice president Of the United Textile
Workers. The drive will be con-
Quoted by his organization, c. I. o.
union, In cooperation with the Syn
thetic Yarn Workers Federation and
will be directed at the $1,000 workers
in the rayon branch of the textile
industry.
"The organization drive ties in
very closely with the recently an
nounced campaign to organize woolen
and worsteds, now being conducted by
the Woolen and Worsted Federation, F."
German said. He called the rayon
industry, comparatively new In the
textile field, one of the most pros
porous industries In the country"
With the U. T. w. member of the
c. I. O., it Is planned to conduct the
new campaign on industrial unioniza-
ton lines. Attempting to spread this
type Of unionization. the c. I. o. has
embarked on showdown fight to Or
ganize the steel industry while similar
plans are under way for campaigns in
the automobile and rubber industries.
Implied support Of the textile drive
was given in unofacial comment at
c. T. o. headquarters this morning,
although it was made plain that the
campaign is being directed and
financed by the two unions involved.
It Is considered likely that all the in
dustrial unions will make some efforts
for increased membership while atten-
ton is being focused on the steel cam
paign.
Incurring the hostility of the craft
union majority of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor for their plans, the
c. I. o. unions are now under sum-
mons for trial on August 3 on charges
of dual unionism and insurrection.
It is to discuss their policy with re-
gard to this trial that the c. I. o.
leaders have been called into confer
ence tomorrow with Lewis.
The rayon organizing drive was de-
cided on at two-day conference here
between German and William F. KEEL
ly of the. U. r. W. and A. r. Wood
ward and John Kabler of the yarn
workers.
In announcing the plans, German
said the drive would center in the
plants of the Viscose Corp, Du pont,
Industrial Rayon, American Enka,
Tubize Chatillon, American Bemberg
and several smaller companies.

.ASHEV1LLE, N. c., July 20.-Sheriff
Laurence z. Brown announced today
he had finished checking statements
by Mark Wollner and his "alibi
woman" Mildred Ward, and late to-
day or tonight would question my
suspect" Wollner, in the hotel-room
Staying of Helen Clevenger.
Wollner, internationally known vio-
linist, the sheriff said, had not beer
questioned except briefly when he wa:
locked up Saturday.
The sheriff said fiatly he would moi
release Wollner, Miss Ward or Dan,
lei H. Gaddy, hotel night watchman
who also is in custody, during the
day.
The Clevenger Staying was de.
Scribed by Brown as "the Titterton
case Of the South" referring to the
fiendiSh murder of Nancy Titterton,
writer and wife Of a broadcasting
company executive In New York. In
that case the slayer was traced by a
piece of twine and convicted.
Eight Deputies at Work.
"We realize we've got a tough case
lust as tough as the Titterton case, u
the sheriff said. TT took New York
officers two weeks, with a whole city
police force, to solve the Titterton
case, and I hope we can solve this
one within that time. I have eight
deputies working on the case"
The sheriff said he was looking for
other witnesses to add to q number
he said would contradict Wollner's
alibi that he was at home throughout
the night when the pretty 18-year-old
New York University coed was shot
to death In her hotel room around
am. last Thursday by an intruder
who stabbed her In the face and at
tempted to rsyish her.
a taxi driver said he saw q -:,an

the TINE Of the killing.
Wollner, who has been estranged
from his wife for two years, has q
studio across the street from the hotel.
He was detained for questioning
Saturday night. Without a more
specific charge, a prisoner cannot
thus be held legally for more than
43 hours.
Former Waitress Detained.
A 1s-year-old former waitress, Mil
dred Ward, at whose home the Ger
man-born violiniSt roomed, also was
detained after she corroborated Woll-
ner's statement he had been at home
between $50 pm. Wednesday and
$50 am. Thursday.
A frail, sickly girl she finally was
quoted after several hours Of ques-
tioning as adding to her original
statement that Mark phoned me a
little before he was arrested and
asked me, Where was last night?'"
Sheriff Brown said he has found q
witness who heard Wollner say last
Wednesday:
"I've got date tonight with a girl
at the Battery Park met two days
ago."
Declaring these other witnesses,
some of whose names he withheld,
contradicted the young musicians
alibi, Sheriff Brown summarized:
From 9 to 10 pm. the night of the
crime cafe owner saw Wollner eating
dinner.
