returned enormous dividends,
for few men enjoy the regard
and respect in which Rayburn
is held by all Democrats.
Thus johnson has, so to
speak. a hook into the levia-
than Of the House, where a
Senator often needs help in
the pursuit Of interests i'm
portant to him.
The Texas Senator owes to
his own creative imagination
another important source of
his influence. On assuming
leadership, he realized that
several important committees
were virtually monopolized by
a relatively small number of
senior Democrats, mostly
Southerners.
johnson cultivated this
group assiduously. He put it
to them that they could
tighten their committee bur-
dens and at the same time win
the loyalty Of their juniors by
sharing their committee plums.
The result was the johnson
rule that every Senator gets
one important committee be-
fore any Senator gets two.

are familiar with the deserts
we have had always in our
Southwest, for our East-West

Today we are beginning to
hear again suggestions, echo
ing DR.. Sears, that much of
the dust bowl land should be
put into grass, as some of 1t
has been in the 20 years since
the other dust bowl. There
are today some 20 millions Of
acres that are in a condition
to blow this winter, which is
more than for either Of the
last two years. The blowing
is heaviest from February to
June, but already this fall two
million acres have been dam.

We in the East were perhaps
more conscious of the dust
bowl of two decades ago as the
dust was carried this way and
was a dingy pail over our Ma
tional Capital. At a news con.
ference President Roosevelt ex-
planned what had happened to
our land in the West. He told
how So wheat during the First
World War had invited fever
ish ploughing UP of great
tracts to plant wheat. This had
ripped of the buffalo grass
cover which held the land to-
gether. Now, stripped of its
cover, the dirt became the
whim of wind and weather.
We had exported our wheat to
Europe during the war. Now
we were exporting our rich
topsoil. He put it that way,
wildly.
The cycle has come around
again and another President
is going out to see what can be
done.

THOMAS l. STOKES

drought-fevered lands in the
Great Plains States. There one
Of our richest resources-our
topsoil-is being whirled way
by the hayward winds to create
what is fast approaching a ma
tional tragedy both to our land
and to our people.
This drought is described by
the Agriculture Department as
the worst in the recorded his
tory of our country. The dust
bowl" of today is far bigger
and more threatening than it
was when another President
- Franklin D. Roosevelt -
visited the region just 20 years
ago to start a salvage pro-
gram for this valuable part of
our natural heritage.
Well remembered by this
reporter is the devastation
then-the sandy wastes reach
ing to the horizon. almost like
a desert. and the tiny sprigs
of helpless wheat and corn
that hardly got out of the
ground before whitening away.
Remembered also were the
droves of cattle being driven
here and there by their des-
perate owners in search Of
water.
All Of this was seen as one
of a group of newspapermen
who accompanied President
Roosevelt on survey trips. and
also in separate trips after

braced parts of five States

South Dakota. But extensive
farm damage from the dry
weather and high winds has
also occurred in the two other
States of the Great Plains
North Dakota and Montana
as well as in parts of the eight
other States beyond the area
OF most severe erosion previ-
ously outlined. Widespread
suffering among farmers ex-
lists also in Missouri and parts
of Iowa.
Remembered also from 20
years ago are the caravans of
that day winding out of the dust
bowl, the automobiles, some
distinctly in the jalopy class,
piled high with household
goods and bursting, some of
them, with children. Families
were fleeing to more favored
land in Idaho and Washington
and Oregon and California.
On a motor tour along the
Snake River in Idaho with
President Roosevelt we rode
for miles and miles through a

were told, many of the dust
bowl refugees had taken up

pen to land. I asked him about
a solution for the dust bowl.
He replied that the whole
area should be turned back to
grass for a period of from 10
to SO years. I observed that
was hardly a political solution,
for we both knew how poll
