for rapid developments in the
plans Of Andrew w. Mellon. for

lery in Washington.
Plans for erection Of the gallery
are awaiting official word from
Mr.. Mellon concerning his gift Of
q $10,000,000 art gallery to the
National Capital.
Site Is Approved
Both the Fine Arts Commission
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission have tenta-
lively approved. a site on the Mall,
across from the new Labor Depart
ment Building, for the new gal
lery.
Official word from the donor,
however, has not yet been forth
coming. In his deed Of gift, filed
in Pittsburgh last october, Mr..
Mellon made only one stipulation
as to the site, that the gallery be
located as near the center Of
Washington as possible so that
Americans touring the National
Capital may visit it."
Millions in Art
The nucleus for the art gallery
will be Mr.. Melons own private
collection of paintings. This collec-
ton, some Of which Is now stored
in the Corcoran Art Gallery, is
said to have cost Mr.. Mellon be.
tween $4,000, 900 and $23, 900 900.
The collection includes such
world-famouS masterpieces as
Raphael's THE Madonna of the
House of Alba" Boticelli's "Adora-
ton of the Magi," and Perugino'S
"Crucifixion."

HOPE FOR RAIN
!. T0SAVE CORN
CROP FADES

International News service
The faint hope held out by Sec
rotary of Agriculture wallace that
rains between August lilo might
save the badly burned-out corn
crop went glimmering today.
j. B. Kincer, of the United
States Weather Crop Bureau, re-
ported that most of the States in
the drought-stricken grain belt
had no rain at all between August
l and 10. Those States in the
dry area that did have rain re-
ceived only a slight precipitation
This caused Department Of Agri-
culture officials to plan on a
corn crop even less than the 1,439,-
5,000-the smallest in so years
that the United States Crop Re
PORTING Board estimated Monday
as of conditions existing August L.
The drought spread farther
afield today with water shortages
reported as far East as New York.
Absence of heavy rains virtually
halted shipping on the Mississippi
River above st. Louis because OF
low water.
Water Is Short
Water shortages were reported
by II Ohio municipalities, by the
Susquehanna and Oswego River
basins of New York State, with
many of the mills along the
Oswego threatened with closing
because of the low stage of the
river, and by sections Of Arkansas,
Indiana, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, Wyoming and Okla
homa.
AS the drought continued I'M
broken, except for scattered rains,
in the corn belt, the Works Prog
resS Administration was Swamped
with appeals for work for farmers
in the drought areas. An allot-
ment of $500 jobs to farmers in
six southern counties of Illinois
was declared insufficient, as $500
to 5000 farmers in that State will
need jobs soon. So far the WPA
has provided for a total Of Ill 1000
jobs to farmers in IA drought
stricken States Of the West.
Illinois Suffers
The WPA was told unless good
rains are forthcoming, this may
be only the beginning of the
drought in Illinois. Reports indi-
cate crops in at least dozen adj
ditional counties in the southern
part of the State are severely
damaged.
Thousands of farm women are
being put to work on sewing, can
ming and other projects. Women
now comprise more than 16 per
cent of the total number of per-
sons employed on WPA projects.
