Attempt Made to
Hinder Red Cross
In Raising Funds
Hyde Park, N. Y.—President
Roosevelt charged yesterday that
a fifth column is attempting to
sabotage Red Cross efforts to
raise funds to aid suffering
Europeans.
At the same time he said that
he was seeking verification of
reports that Europe is facing the
worst famine in history.
He disclosed at a press con
ference that the government has
received reports—thus far unof-
fj^jlai—that Germany is forcing
conrjuered Denmark to slaughter
50 per cent of Its livestock and
send the food to the Reich to re
plenish failing food supplies.
Sabotage efforts against the
$20,000,000 Red Cross drive, Mr.^
Roosevelt said, were reported to'
1 him by Norman H. Davis, chair-
Raleigb.—North Carolina farm I man ol the American Humanltar-
leaders have endorsed Dr. Clar-1 jan'organization. The efforts, he
ence Poe of Raleigh for appoint- j said, are based on a whispering
ment as secretary of agriculture, 1 campaign that supplies sent to
suffering refugees in Europe are
falling .into the hands of German
and Italian armies.

No reMef from the heat in
sight.
That was the Weather Bureau’s
disappointing offering today to a
scorching nation.
Scattered showers brought . a
temporary respite to some sec
tions. But with them came In
creased humidity and greater op
pression. Weather conditions in
Central Canada, where real relief
was expected to develop, gave
forecasters no basis for any opti
mistic predictions for today or to
morrow.
The U. S. Weather Bureau at
Chicago reported that the pro
tracted hot spell, no'w a week old
for some wilted regions, pro'bably
would continue for at least three
days more.
■Virtually all the nation east of
the Rockies suffered from the
sizzling heat. Temperatures of
100 or higher were reported yes
terday from such scattered points
as Montana, Minnesota and Ari
zona.
180 Deaths
At least 180 deaths were attrib
uted, directly or indirectly, to the
torrid weather. Thirty-eight per
sons 'in 12 States were listed as
heat victims. In 31 States there
were 152 drowning victims a-
mong the millions who sought re
lief at the beaches.
A. E. Anderson, State-Federal
agricultural statistician at Oma
ha, Neb., said the heat wave was
creating a serious cro.p 'situation
in that region. He reported that
even sudan, a drought resisting
sorghum, was beginning to suf
fer.
High v.’’ads and hail damaged
crops and caused other property
losses in Massachusetts, Maine,
New Hampshire and Connecticut.
Hail damage to Connecticut river
valley tobacco crops was estimat
ed at $150,000 to $300,000.

of agriculture, sent a telegram to
President Roosevelt in which he
said: "The So'uth has,been called
{economic problem No. 1, and It
(is well to consider a man who
knows the problems of the South
in seeking a solution to the agri-
. cultural ills of southern farming.”
j The movement apparently was
started by Harry B. Caldwell of
! Greensboro, master of the North
09 Carolina Grange, who wired Mr.
p Roosevelt that ‘the farmers of
North Carolina and the South
_ I will heartily appreciate the a’p-
” I pointment of Dr. Poe as secretary
^ of agriculture, not only, ■because
DO he understands their problems,
C but because his life has been de-
«(j voted to the best interests of
^ agriculture both in his home
state and throughout the nation.”
Roosevelt Indignantly denied
such reports.
Experts of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture think that
the war will result in a change
in the breeds of livestock raised
in Denmark, Holland and BeN
gium.
The United States is the only
major agricultural country with
out a National agricultural mu
seum, and there Is agitation that
such an Institution be established.
Wild turkeys, which rank as
big game in New Mexico today,
were raised as domesticated fowl
by the Pueblo Indians when the
Spaniards arrived in the sixteenth
century.
