Washington, D. C.. since last Sun
day seeking approval from the
Secretary of Agriculture and the
President for the exchange of cattle
shipped from the drought area in

project be carried forward to com
pletion at once. The Board of Reg
ents started the plan to buy a large
acreage in these counties with the
plan to place on them families to
rehabilitate people now on relief
rolls. The regents recently abandon
ed the plan. Congressman Vinson
asked President Roosevelt to approve
the project as a Federal Government

exchange the cattle, Row pastured
in the state from the West, for local
scrub cattle be adopted.
Naval leaders also conferred with
