ARKANAS RELEF NEEDHELDEREA Mexico Helps Return Idle ‘Countrymen of Southwest to Homes. 8 the Assoclated Press. Capt. J. P. Lucey, Southwestern rep- resentative of .the President's Emer- gency Employment Committee, today reported to Chairman Woods that some- thing must be done to carry Arkansas farmers through the next few months. He also said that the Mexican gov- ermment was helping relieve the South- ‘western situation by aiding unemployed Mexicans to return to their homes. Returning from a survey of his dis- trict, Capt. Lucey said distress is worse n Arkansas. The Red Cross was re- functioning effciently through- out the drought sections of the six States he represents and are supplying food to all who need it. In all States except Arkansas the situation can be | cared for without Federal aid. Gov. Parnell of Arkansas /s asked & Pederal loan of $5,000,000, the loan to un 20 years, and Lucey faid he had recommended that i’ be made. Simultaneously with the Lucey report, Wallace Townsend. Republican National Committeeman from Arkansas, outlined to President Hoov:r the condition of drought sufferers in that State. He declined to comment after his conference. Public Reaction Feared. Earlier President Hoover was informed that an important conference with officials of the American Red Cross that the appeal recently made for $10,- 000,000 to be devoted to drought relief i8 being seriously embarrassed as a re- sult of proposals in the Senate that Congress appropriate the necessary money to be used by the Red Cross in this humanitarian work. The conference in the President's office lasted nearly an hour. With the President_on this occasion were John Payne, director of the Red ; Secretary of Commerce Lamont, Undersecretary of the Treasury Mills and Assistant Secretary of the Treas- ury Hope. All of these are members of the Red Cross Central Committee. $391,000 Receipts Announced. ‘The Red Cross today announced re- geipt of $391,000 in its campaign fcr $10,000,000 for drought relief.
