Prospective Damage by

ed at $15O,OOO,OOO
or Greater
NEEDED RELIEF is
GIVEN IN SECTIONS
Scattered Showers Predict
ed in Some States; No
General Relief Obtained
in Most of Carolinas Area;
North Carolina's Loss Near
$50,OOO,OOO

Atlanta, Ga, June 9.-(AP)-Rains
cut a slice from the southern bought
domain over the weekend, but did lit
tie toward reducing a prospective
crop loss of $15O,OOO,OOO or more.
Eastern Tennessee and centra
western Virginia reported enough
rain Saturday, Sunday and Monday to
break the drought.
The Carolinas, northern Georgia,
northern Alabama and middle Ten
nessee shared in these showers, but
obtained no general relief.
Southern forecasts for today called
for more partly cloudy weather, with
scattered showers.
The relief afforded Virginia came
too late to reduce crop loss of some
81, 900 ,O00 ,howevee~much further dam
age it may have prevented.
Tennessee University farm author
tiles still figured the damage in that
State would run up to $30,000,000 OF
more, although the dry spell was end
ed around Knoxville.
In Georgia it was figured that the
last week increased the States pros
pective losses from some $30,000,00(
to between $4O,OOO,OOO and $5O,OOO,OO(
despite the showers.
North Cardinals apparent toll also
stood in the neighborhood of $4,000,
600, while South Cardinals damage
was set at a minimum of $10,000,000
with a possibility that it might ex
coed $50,OO0,OOO.

Raleigh, June g. Clyde r. Hoey
will be the next governor of North

in a second primary than in last Sat-

Convention Hall Cleveland,
June 9 (AP)-Entrusting its
worries to committees for the
time. the Republican cCnveni
ton opened today in a listless
session devoted only to organi-
zation for the big task ahead.
The advantageous position held by
the forces fighting for Governor All
Landon. Of Kansas, was acknowledg-
ed on all sides.
Outwardly a deceptive calm prevail
ed but underneath the surface strug-
cles over places on the ticket and
principles on which to oppose the New
Deal ragged undated.
The rest of the usual keynote
speech. which was deferred until this
evening in the vast auditorium, the
opening session at IL a. m, eastern
Standard time. was confined to for
malities.
A business mood SEEM
ed to be asserting itself among the
delegates as they awaited the key
note tonight by Senator Frederick
Steiwer, of Oregon.
Delegates noticed that the frequent
expressions of confidence coming
from Landon leaders now contained
fewer references to a bandwaSon
,ush At the same time the failure
Of any coalition of anti-Landonites to
materlalize had it's effect. No single
stop Landon" leader has emerged
to fuse the opposition.
The arrival of Colonel Frank Knox,
Chicago publisher, and former Presi-
dent Hoover, possibly today, was ex-
pected in some quarters to produce
more indications Of how the actual
contest under way might shape up.
The perfunctOry session, brought
none Of the party strife to the surface
and the convention opened today
amidst a profuGon of Landon sun
flowers
Committees on platform and other
questions were set up and the mem
bets called to meet in an endeavor to
reconcile behind closed doors, if pos
Slole, the many disputes under way.
Under the guiding gavel of Chair
man Henry p Fletcher. the routine

Cleveland, June 9.-One man men
toned as a G. o. P. presidential pos
sibility last year seemed to have drop
ped from sight. He is U. S. Comptrol-
ler-General John Raymond McCarl.
And what will become of McCarl
when his term as comptroller-general
expires on June Is?
McCarl himself may know but hi
doesn't tell. Except for his official ut
terances he is as tight-lipped as any
member of the Supreme Court. There
is nothing in the nature of his job
to require such profound reticence
but it is a policy he adopted the day
he was sworn in as comptroller gen.

maybe it is a pose. In a peculiar way
