Governor R L Cochran appealed by telephone to WPA assistant administrator Aubrey Williams for emergency relief to drought stricken Nebraska. Williams said no additional funds are available unless Congress provides more in January. Cochran warned curtailment has already worsened hardship and asked for urgent funds to cover 19,000 jobs now and 20,000 to 25,000 more through winter. Nebraska, an agricultural state, lacks heavy industry to mitigate drought impacts.
