PERMANENT ‘CURE OF DROUGHT SEEN Orderly Agriculture Neces- sary, Says Chairman of President’s Committee. By the Assoctated Press. RAPID CITY, S. Dak,, August 22.— Seven drought doctors President Roosevelt called into consultation to prescribe for the drought problem talked confidently today of a perma- nent cure. Morris L. Cooke, rural electrification administrator and chairman of the President’s committee, visualized a land of greener flelds. “It can be done with a little planning,” he said. “It will take orderly agriculture. It will take co- operation between the farmer and the Government. It will take nerve, but it can be done.” North-Central Views Obtained. Cooke and the six other members of the committee making a 3,000-mile tour of the arid areas reached the half-way point today. They paused here to receive the recommendations of representatives of seven North- Central States who met yesterday to work out a regional program. The Federal party will tour Wyo- ming, Montana and North Dakota before reporting to the President next | week in South Dakota. The group has already traversed the drought belts of Texas, Oklahoma, Coiorado, Kansas and Nebraska. Cooke said only a comparatively few farmers will have to move. “There will be no great movement of families from one State to an- other,” he said. “A few families may have to be moved from one district within a State to another more fertile district. There will have to be a re- adjustment of land uses. Conservation Necessary, “It seems, speaking broadly, that rome of the stock ranches should be larger. Some of the farms should be smaller. Water and land must be conserved throughout the whole ter- ritory. If a program had been placed in effect 25 years ago this present drought would have been felt much less.” He said he saw little chance for the rural electrification administration to do much in the way of development in the area because ‘“costs would be too great.” WATER SHORTAGE PROBLEM. President and Governors to Discuss Situation at Parley. DES MOINES, August 22 (#).—A shortage of water at many points in the Midwest raised a new problem tc- | day for the drought conference between President Roosevelt and five Governors here September 1. Water was at a premium in South | Dakota. The eight wells at Hatton were under lock and key. The town's | 800 residents were permitted to visit them at specified periods three times a day. A number of farmers in Kansas, girl, opposed the change. viI BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ORT WINGATE, N.

Dancers Through Dust. And between the two choruses the | moon looks down upon perhaps as col- orful a scene as it beholds in all its world wunderings. That is the end- | less, shuffiing, tripping procession of the dancers through the dust—the men shuffling their .ilver-studded riding | boots, the girls clutching their shirts and tripping in colorfully beaded soft | moccasins. The elaborateness of the costumes of these girls, all unmarried, dazzles the eyes. It is a pageant of woolen shawls and shawl blankets. There are scarlet shawls, yellow shawls, green shawls, blue shawls and shawls of all sorts of harmonious plaids and stripings. It is a pageant of jewelry. Silver and turquoise hair circlets, belts, bracelets, necklaces and earrings glisten in the moonlight. Every girl wears a dress of the same pattern, calico, flounced, ankle length and spreading with 12 or 15 yards of cloth like the hoop skirts of our grand- mothers. The men, in their blue and scarlet velvets, look somber in com- parison. This is the Navajo “n'da"—squaw dance to the white men. One is held every night in some glen or on some hilltop of the 22,000-square-mile moun- tain empire of the tribe. Families gather from over a thousand square miles to take part in one. They start with the first thunder—about the 10th of August in’ this part of the coun- try—and continue until the first frost in September. This whole period, from harvesting of the yellow ears, is a festal time for the people who may be considered America’s most exotic citi~ zens, The squaw dances are the gala events. They afford, first of all, an their wealth by the way they dress their daughters. There is no bank in Navajoland. The shepherds of the desolate mountains and yellow pine forests horde their wealth in the form of silver ornaments, jewels and gaudy dress. The daughters empty a fam- ily's coffer for one of these dances. It is not at all unusual for a girl to be tripping over the moonlit dust with ornaments which would be valued con- servatively at $500. And these are not precious stones. They are rela- tively cheap silver, turquoise, polished petrified wood and beads. The men, of course, are not quite so colorful. They display wealth chiefly in the form of silver belts. During the day one of these girls will be found squat- ting before her primitive loom on the dirt floor of the family hogun—timid, bashful, attired in cheap and rather dirty dress. She is about as far as is Moonrise Transformation. But when the modn comes up the transformation is beyond belief. The gaudiest, loveliest sort of butterfly emerges. Every element of Indian beauty is emphasized to the utmost. Moreover, the personality undergoes a profound change. Before the daughter of the hogun kept her head down and would answer questions only in abashed monosyllables. Now she is merry and brazen, especially with whites. The girl always must ask the man to dance. It is considered an insult—especially for a white man who Lo- ring-Colesville Pike, Ronte 20. only 5 miles north D. line. Open 7 a'm. to © b.

SANTA ROSA, Calif., August 22.— Cries of “The Vigilantes!” heard as & band of night riders, acted in a farm labor strike a year ago, resounded in court today as victims told their stories. Sol Nitzberg described how he was dragged from his farm home, beaten, tarred and feathered and warned to leave the county. He was accused, he. said, of inciting farm workers to strike for higher pay. He said, Silva “Jack” Green, an- other tar-and-feather victim, already had been seized and shouted: “The vigilantes are going to lynch us!” 21 Citizens Accused. The testimony of Nitzberg, Green and two other victims, Edward Wolfe and Charles Mayer, came in the attempt of the State to prosecute 21 citizens of this vicinity. Wolfe: named Fred Cairens, secre- tary of the Chamber of Commerce at nearby Healdsburg, as “captain” of the vigilantes. ‘The witnesses, appearing at a pre- liminary hearing against the accused, declared he was told by the vigilantes: “Get down on your knees and kiss .the American flag,” and was accused SATURDAY, MEXICO FOR SPAIN Fascist Sympathizers Pre- dict Shipment Will Never Reach Loyalists. By the Associated Press. VERA CRUZ, Mexico, August 22.— A heavy cargo of war materials was loaded last night on the Spanish liner Magallanes amid ominous rumors it would never reach loyal Spanish gov- ernment forces. Fascist sympathizers here said the ship and its freight of Mexican arms and munitions would be fair game for rebel bombing planes. They declared it almost certainly would be sunk, even if 44 cruise pas- sengers remained aboard. The pas- sengers, all from Catalan, Spain, were ordered off by the Madrid govern- ment, however. They will be sent home through New York. Predict Dangers Ahead. The Burgos revolutionary govern- ment, its partisans said, was aware of the ship’s movements. They pre- dicted it would be impossible for the Magallanes to elude rebel bombers and war vessels, The armaments came in two train- loads—39 cars in all—from Mexico City.

And once she has her partner on the “floor,” keeping firm grip on his coattails, she refuses to let go until weariness forces him to pay her for his freedom. It is the same with the Indian swains. They dance or they pay. Pervading all is an atmosphere of jollity. The shuffiing rows of dancers resound with laughter. Every now and then a withered ancient emerges from one of the choruses and berates the bystanders. It must be funny, for all the Navajos are convulsed. He fis ridiculing the boys, they say, because they are too stingy about paying the girls to quit dancing. and he fs pointing his remarks with some sar- castic personal references. His lan- guage, the Navajos say, isn't exactly mixed company but a squaw dance is a place where, like a New England | auction, all rules of propriety are off. | All night the merry dance goes on to the accompaniment of the merrily weird drum beating. Now and then always come back again. Variations in line, two by two, the girl clutching the boy’s clothes. But some of the Navajo maids have been off to board- upon which the elders of the tribe is no place for rigid conventions. This is the thunder season. Blue flashes of streak lightning and red holocausts of sheet lightning against the horizon add to the weird effects. There are only momentary pauses in the dance until, over the summits of the sacred mountains of Navajoland in the east comes the first glimmer | of sunrise. Then the whole company, | two by two, forms in line and dances toward the rising orb as a sort of salute. This brings an end to a festiv- ity which is unique among the Ameri- can aboriginals and whose closest approach may be some of the village dances of the Balkans. But these haven't the same color of attire nor the combination of the ice-etched Milky Way across the great vault of | Heaven and the blue lightning against the horizon. Merriment Only Superficial. On the surface one of these squaw dances seems a merry occasion, but it has a serious symbolic aspect. It is “medecine.” Each dance is given by somebody suffering from a serious ailment as a magical appeal for cure. It is staged on the advice of the invalid’s favorite shaman and usually costs him a pretty penny—say $400. He must provide the food for the whole company and all the other paraphernalia for the festivities. The weird jollification of the evening is preceded by secret rites during the day, which are far from jolly. Symbolically, the sqtiaw dance, ex- perts of Navajo lore explain, derives from the days of scalp-taking. The | very contact with anything foreign was considered impure. The success- ful warrior returning with his enemies’ scalp was entitled to a “wild party” in celebration of his victory, but first he must be purified of the contamina- tion which resulted from so intimate a contact with a “foreigner”—red or white. So when he returned to his native hills he must be met by a pure maiden, who took the guesome trophy from his hands and, through contact with her own purity, together with certain secret rites, took out of it the element of vileness. And in the dancing tonight one may have noticed a girl tripping and shuffling alone, holding in her hand a wand surmounted with a plume. She must keep going all the time. She must never lay down that wand. She is the virgin of the old ceremony. That wand is the stick upon which, a few generations ago, she would have held up the scalp. And the plume is a representation of’the scalp itself. The squaw dance still is essentially & purification ceremony. A man has something the matter with him. His shaman telld him his malady is due to having absorbed something “for- eign.” Perhaps he has been having too many business or social dealings with white men. Perhaps he has been working for a white man. The contamination must be gotten rid of, and the squaw dance is the result. Why, then, are strangers welcomed? ~ And why do the girls make such a fuss over them? In the first place, the purification part of the ceremony is over and foreign influ- ences can be faced with impunity. Secondly, everybody is out for a good time and the more serious purposes hardly are in the minds of the dancers. And in the third place, the moon and the Milk Way are con- founders of logic, white or red. (Copyright, 1936, by The Evening Star Newspaper Co.) 4 Survey (Continued From First Page.) to make an unbiased study of the sub- ject of fiscal relations between the Federal and District governments is the culmination of years of wrangling on Capitol Hill every time the ques- tion of Federal contribution to the cost of the District government came up for discussion in the annual District appropriation bill. The fight over this question during the last session was bitter and stubborn, due to the insist- ence of Representative Blanton of ‘Texas, chairman of the subcommittee on the District of Columbia of the House Appropriations Committee, that the Federal Government's share be cut from $5,700,000 as recommended in the President’s budget to $2,700,000. Deadlock Prompts Study. Opposition to this in the Senate brought about a prolonged deadlock by conferees. The District appropri- | ation bill finally was agreed to and passed, only after the Federal Govern- ment's share was reduced to $5,000,000 and after provision was made in the | appropriation act for the appointment | of & committee to study this subject thoroughly and report back to the next Congress.

He was assessor of Cook County, Ill, during 1932-34 and was appointed to reorganize the assessment and tax ad- ministration in that county. Jacobs was formerly director of the technical staff of the Ghicago Municipal Ef- ficiency Commission. He is a member of the faculty of Northwestern Uni- versity and member of various eivic and public agencies dealing with fi- nance, taxation, housing and public administration. Jacobs is believed by the President to be especially well qualified for the prosecution of this important study because of his wide experience as tax consultant and public administrator it was said at Hyde Park. The three members of the Advisory Committee who wili assist him were selected because of their expert knowl- edge and wide experience in the field of public administration and finance.

By the Associated Press. George L. Berry, president of Labor's Non-Partisan League, said yesterday the league, assisted by a newly formed woman’s division, would sponsor a Nation-wide series of meetings on Labor day in support of President Roosevelt's re-election. Maj. Berry, also Federal co-ordin- ator for industry, told a press con- ference the State chairmen had been instructed to arrange at least one mass labor meeting in each State and that in some States hundreds of meetings would be held to seek labor votes for Roosevelt. Great Spectacle Expected. “I look for the greatest political spectacle of our time” Berry said, “and I feel confident we shall not be disappointed.” In announcing formation of the league’s woman's division, Berry said all State chairmen had been asked to enlist woman leaders in the league's campaign. “It is a fact beyond doubt,” he said, “that the overwhelming majority of these organized women (members of labor union auxiliaries) and their friends favor the re-election of Presi- dent Roosevelt. “We can count on the support of at least 3,000,000 women for re-elec- tion of President Roosevelt.” Questioned about his sympathies in the current American Federation of Labor dispute over craft versus indus- trial unionism, Berry said: “Why, I represent the very essence of craft trade unionism.” He added, however, that he cone sidered it “inopportune” to discuss differences between A. F. of L. fac- tions, saying: “The differences in the American | Federation of Labor over craft versus vertical unions will not have the slightest effect on unity of labor's support of the President.” in Make Trip Free.
