Drought Relief Appeal in Zapata County Crisis
Widespread famine hits Zapata and neighboring Texas counties as a harsh drought devastates cattle herds and crops. About 5,000 residents face life threatening hunger while local and state officials consider out of state aid. The drought began last summer with no rain since, forcing families to beg for food as cattle perish. Local Mexicans and Americans strive to help, hoping for rain to end the disaster.

The three month Pittsburgh steel strike at the Carnegie plant in Duquesne shows no peace in sight as both sides claim gains. President Burns works on a peace plan awaiting word from President Sehwab.
