Ask Federal
Aid on Water
Conservation
J. E. Lawrence and Dan Stephens
Send Telegrams to Presi
dent Roosevelt.
Relieving President Koosevelt may
make available special funds for
drouth swept states, two members of
Nebraska's federal PWA advisory
board urged prompt development ot
all water conservation projects In
the Cornhusker state.
In telegrams to President Roose
velt they pointed to the need for
water conservation to "prevent a
repetition of the tragic experience of
this summer," and urged that work
be started soon on the projects to pro
vide employment for farmers whose
trop3 withered under the scorching
sun.
Dan V. Stephens of Fremont,
chairman of the advisory board, in
his telegram said $60,000,000 will be
needed to complete the projects and
make drouths of this character of
secondary importance in Nebraska.
Both he and James E. Lawrence,
Lincoln, member of the PWA advis
ory board sent telegrams to Roose
velt. Stephens' telegram said in part:
"In your passage across the coun
try to Washington you will see the
effect of this the greatest of all
drouths. You will see how essential
above everything else is the conser
vation of water that now runs off at
flood season. Building battleships,
roads, postcfikcs and other public
structures while r.eedful are dwarf
ed into insignificance in comparison
to the need of water as the eddying
whirls of drifting soil and saner pass
over burned out fields of grain over
areas of hundreds of thousands of
miles in! extent. It i3 a national
calamity of the first magnitude."
Lawrence's telegram follows:
"Press dispatches indicate the Ne
braska drouth situation is bein
placed before you. It is the most ser
ious in state's history. If special re
lief funds are to be made available.
as member of Nebraska PWA board,
I join my colleague, Dan V. Steph
ens of Fremont, in urging allotments
be made for remaining water storage
projects as yet unapproved by PWA
at Washington. This program in
cludes the North Loup, Middle Loup,
Tri - County, Benkelman - Haigler -
Arickaree, Blue Creek and French
man applications. Not only will they
provide a great deal of work for
fr.rmers, but they will prevent the
repetition of the tragic experiences
of thi3 summer."

McNARY IS NOT A CANDIDATE
Salem, Ore. To personal friends
who have talked to him at his coun
try home near Salem, Senator Mc
Nary has indicated definitely he is
net a candidate for the republican
nomination for the presidency in

McNary, leader of the minority party
in the senate, has been mentioned
frequently, both in the east and wtst,
in comment on a standard bearer for
the republicans two years hence. He
is, so he has told his friends, per
fectly content to go on representing
Oregon in congress as effectively as
possible as the leader of the minor
ity party in the senate.
