Drouth Relief Committee in Rust Seeks Special Session
The Louisiana State-Wide Drouth Relief Committee met in Ruston on Friday and approved resolutions urging Governor Huey Long to call a special legislative session to aid drought stricken farmers. The prior Lincoln parish action dated Oct 9 was relayed to the governor with no reply, while Franklin parish cited a mass meeting backing relief.
