NOTHi: DAME HEAD DIES SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 4 (UP) —The Rev. Charles L. O’Donnell, C. S. C., president of Notre Dame university and one of the most brilliant t dueators of the Catholic church, died early today. A streptococcus infestion of the lungs and throat was the cause of clea*h. Hope for recovery of the comparatively youthful executive, who would have turned aO in November, was abandoned months ago when he failed to rally from an infection with which •he was stricken in March of last year. Last sacraments of the church were administered several weeks back when his death appeared imminent, but he rallied surprisingly and recently had appeared improved. The priest’s only public appearance since he was stricken was at the Notre Dame commencement exercises last June 4 when he bestowed the golden jubilee Laetare medal upon John McCormack, the singer. His second three-year term as pres-

ident of Notre Dame was to have expired next month. The Rev. John F. O’Hara, C. S. was appointed vice president of the university last July and will serve out the remainder of Father O’Donnell's

term.

Father O'Donnell was graduated from the College of Arts and I/etters at Notre Dame in 1906 and later studied at Harvard, Catholic University of America and Holy Cross college in Washington, receiving his Ph. 1). degree from Catholic university in

1910 .

His ordination as a Catholic priest vis on June 24, 1910, shortly before he became a professor of English lit- < rature at Notre Dame, a position he held until elected to the presidency in

1928.

He won recognition as a poet in 1910 when he wrote “The Dead Musician" to eulogize the death of Brothcr Basil, an organist at Notre Dame. Father O'Donnell, a man small of

stature but with a resonant speaking j week, except for voice, became an army chaplain in j along Lake Erie-

1917 when the United States entered the World war. He accompanied the A E. F. to (France and served for five months with the 117th Regiment of Engineers in the 42nd Division on the western front. Later he was transferred to the S3 2nd Infantry in which un.t he .saw service in Italy and Aus tria for nine months. The honor of Chevalier of the Crown of Italy was conferred upon him in 1931 by King Victor Emmaniel III, making him one of the few men in the United States to receive the honor. In the face of the depression Father O'Donnell in five years successfully completed a building program involving more than $3,000,000 on the Notre Dame campus. Work was underway at the time of his death on a central campus plaza, his dream of years, to cost $100,000. The Notre Dame stadium, the John F. Cushing college of engineering building, the Edwarl N- Hurley college of camimenee building a new lawbuilding and two new residence flails were erected during his administration. Under his leadership the faculty of Notre Damp was increased from 174 in tQ28 to 20!* in 1934 and he argue! spiritedly and successfully against any reduction in professors’ .salaries.

MOISTURE OVER WIDE AREAS IS REPORTED AFTER LONG DROUTH CHICAGO, June 4, (UP)—Snow and he-ivy rains over wide areas of the sun scorched west brought at least temporary surcease today from a drought which in three months has reduced millions of American farmers to the verge of poverty. Clouds over the entire northwest promised rain in a dozen parched dates farther east. Prospect* for an end to the longest rainless period in the 50-year history if the weather bureau were prolounced “the best since April 1" by W. P. Day, Chicago forecaster. While Colorado, Nebraska and Montana fields soaked up from onefourth to two inches of rain and snow fell on the eastern slope of the Colorado Rockies, the record heat wave of last week still persisted, however, m Michigan, Illinois and state.s to the southeast. Three death- directly attributable to heat, with six by drowning, brought the death toll of the week's scorching suns to at least 160. Crop expert- reporting to Chicago Board of Trade firms warned that even a thorough making of the earth could save but a part of wheat, oats, corn and minor crops. Drought, heat and one of the most severe insect plagues in history have taken an irretrievable toll. Corn, sprouting or ungerminated in fields where it should be a foot high, would benefit most from widespread rains. Wheat has been burned to the brown of August and thousands of acres of oats fields have been abandoned’ to pasture. Possibility of a national food shortage was described by Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, as “extremely remote,” despite the fact that the department of agriculture estimated wheat production at 565,00**,000 bushel?, as compared to normal

figure of about 800,000,000 bushels. Farmers of the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa had the 1 monetary loss of the drought newdy emphasized today as government agents began purchase of 1,200,000 head of cattle for which there is no

L ed or water.

new all-time peak of $27,000,000,000 today with the offer by the treasury of $800,000,000 in new securities to obtain funds to carry the recovery program through the summer months. Investors were asked by the treasury to buy $500,000,000 of 5 year 21* per cent treasury notes and $.300 000,000 of 1‘2 to 14 year 3 per cent treas

ury bonds.

Enough 3 per cent bonds will be issued above th? $300,000,000 cash sale to allow holders of treasury certificates and notes maturing over the next six weeks to exchange them dollar for dollar for the new bonds. The securities which may bo ox«hanged for the new bonds are $174,905,500 of *4 per cent treasury certificates, due June 15, and $345,292,600 of 2*4 per cent trasury notes, due August 1, a total of $520,198,100. Sale of the new securities carries the debt to $26,955,017,448, surpassing the war time pear of $26,596,701,642 reached on August 31, 1919. The government at the present time, however, has nearly a billion dollars more cash than in 1919. Today’s security sale boosts cash in the treasury to $2,010,850,698, exclusive of $811,000,000 of gold'dollar devaluation profits. This sum will bo a large back log for recovery expenditures as current government expenditures are now running at little more than half a billion dollars

monthly.

The new debt peak brought the government closer to the “outside limit” public debt of *$31,834,000,000 set by President Roosevelt in estimating the monetary needs of the recovery program. This figure is ex pected to be reached by June 30,

1934.

In borrowing $200,000,000 in nowmoney and offering to refund an additional $520,000,000 of maturing obligations, the treasury today made no mention of $1,2**0,000,000 of called Fourth Liberty loan 4*4 per cent bonds due October 15. The degree of acceptance of the current offering, it was believed, would decide Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., as to how far the government could go in offering to refund the maturing fourth Liberties before October 15.
