Latest reports snow 275 persons have died from the heat In the past 60 hours—an average of almost five an hour. Unbearable temperatures are forecast for the burned-out prai rie region. A rise in the humidity combined with suffocating tempera tures Is the grim warning for the sizzling eastern states. In the Mississippi Valley creeks have dwindled to small puddles and the mighty father of waters is itself barely navigable. At St. Louis, the Mississippi's channel is nine-feet deep —l3 feet below normal. Wyoming is harrassed by some oi the worst forest fires ever to sweep through the Black Hills. Other for est fires are reported in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. The vast fields of South Dakota are a depress ing fight. Swarms of grasshoppers cover the prairies, already burned crisp by hot winds and scorching sun. Chicago crop experts conservative ly placed midwest farm damage at $300,000,000. They said it will be months before the total damage, placed at more than half a billion dollars, can ever be estimated. In North Dakota, a flock of wild ducks died in the withering heat.

Throughout the middlewest, Churchmen are hold ing special services today to pray for rain. The Chicago weather bureau re fused to hold forth any hope. Said one forecaster —"there is little likeli hood of a change in conditions. It may be hotter today than yesterday and still hotter tomorrow.” Thousands of city dwellers, particu larly those in the congested districts of large mid western and eastern towns, dragged themselves from their beds this morning after hours spent in a futile effort to sleep. Thermometers which took only a slight drop in most sections of the heat zone last night, seemed headed for new highs today. Scattered show ers which fell in other parts of the heat belt did little to cut short a hot spell which is causing suffering to millions. New York, still gasping from an all-time heat record of 102 and three tenths, recorded yesterday, was given little hope of relief today. The "‘fair and warmer” bulletins were general in the northeastern zone—f ro m Maine to Maryland and west into Ohio. One blessing in disguise was the lack of rain in the eatern New York and the middle Atlantic area. Weather bureau officials said that rain would boost humidity marks and make the heat unbearable.

Their statement that the number of returning workers was daily grow ing larger served notice on the Unit ed Electric and Radio Workers’ Union that further negotiations were out of the question. The union called a strike at the R. C. A. plant nearly three weeks ago with a demand for higher wages and the right to collective bargain ing.

Just before the company state ment was issued, the strikers were given the news that John L. Lewis and his committee on industrial or | ganization would support their drive.

Most BRITAIN IS EYEING NEXT MOVES OF ILDUCE’S MACHINE FEEL THAT ITALY SHOULD WITHDRAW TROOPS i FROM FRONTIER LONDON, Eng., July 10 (TP) Great Britain is looking expectantly towards Italy today. The EritLsh feel , that the new order reducing the size of the British fleet in the Mediter- 1 ranean should be closely followed by < immediate friendly gestures from ] Italy. The first of these gestures, if . the British expectations come true, will be the withdrawal of n large part ! of the army force Premier Mussolini is keeping in Lybia, on the Anglo- ; Egyptian border. Britain also hopes that the reduc- 1 tion of the British fleet concentrated i in the Mediterranean when the Ethi- , opian crisis bid fair to set off a Eu- , ropean conflagration .should affect Italy’s attitude towards the Dardanel- ■ les conference. ] Italy refused to attend the confer ence at Montreaux, Switzerland. Mus solini protested that Italy was still ' the victim of discrimination, through 1 the Mediterranean concentration of the British fleet and the Anglo-Fran co\Ealkans Mediterranean pact drawn up in the eaily days of the African war. France already has notified Italy that she is scrapping the emergency treaty and other scigners of the pact are believed ready to follow suit. With this in mind, London feels that Mussolini may reconsider his re fusal to send a representative to Mon treux. If the Italian premier does withdraw his Lybian troops and re consider his stand on the Dardanelles conference stand, it will mark one of the last steps in patching up the sadly damaged Stresa front between France, Britain and Italy. SOUTH DAKOTA FEELS BENEFIT OF HEAVY RAIN CENTER OF DROUGHT BELT RECEIVES SHOWERS CHICAGO, July 10 (TP)—Hearts which had been low since the early days of the drought beat with a new hope in some parts of the midwest and northwest today. Beneficial rains, ranging from show ers to heavy downpours of more than two inches, fell in some section of South Dakota, the center of the drought belt. Farm officials in the area said it is possible that the rains may mean the salvaging of some crops which were feared hopelessly ruined. In most places, however, the rains arrived too late to do much good. In the Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana ana : Wyoming farmers have only next sea son’s crops to look forward—and jobs cn the WPA rolls for this year. Burn- \ ed out acres which will require years to rehabilitate present a dreary pic ture in most of the drought belt. While the advance in grain prices J was slowed down somewhat by reports ‘ of rain in some portions of the ] drought area, wheat prices are still 1 about 20 cents above what they were J when the drought assumed serious proportions. Added to the midwest- j ern reports of ruined crops are the dispatches from the wheat country or Canada speaking of a lack of water } and resultant damage to the Canadian t grain crop.

Transradio learned that the admin istration is taking definite steps to day to heal the breach which threat ens to cause a permanent split in th< organized labor ranks The dispute be tween Lewis’ group and the A. F. oi L. centers on union organization policies. The federation’s executive council is meeting to discuss possible suspension of Lewis’ group which include 12 un ions with a membership of a million workers. The administration is working to ward a compromise. In tne past two days, President Roosevelt has con ferred with the three big men in Amer ican labor—the United Mine 'Workers head, John Lewis: Preside.it Green of the American Federation of Labor, and Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed ward McGrady. McGrady is the New Deal's ace when it comes to makinj peace in labor wars. After Jeaving the White House, Me Grady plunged into a series of s£nr» conferences with important leader , of both sides. His conferences wil continue through today. Another New Deal agent—Senate Majority Leader Robinson—also visit ed the White House, ostensibly for the purpose of discussing the Demo cratic campaign in Arkansas.

Hutcheson, wlu is president of the carpenters union is a Republican and a former labor advisor to President Hoover. He U expected to play a big part in Gov ernor Landon’s campaign? Hutcheson is opposed to the Lewis plan. He is demanding immedite sus pension of the miiie union chief. American Federation of Labor President William Green still hsa hopes of finding away out of the threatened split with John L. Lewis and the 12 affiliated with the United Mine Workers offiical. Green admits that a majority of the executive council are in favor of suspending the Lewis faction on charges of setting up a labor organ ization in competition with the A. F. of L- but he refuses to concede that the suspension is inevitable. The federation's executive council is considering the matter in Washing ton this week. Yesterday they set aside two hours for Lewis to explain why tjie insurgent unions' charters should not be suspended. Lewis did not appear. Instead he went to the White House and discussed labor and political questions with President Roosevelt. Lewis told the president that the ranks of labor are practically unani mous in favoring a New Deal re-elec tion. The U M. W. leader denied that they discussed the impending breach between his unions and the A. F of L. Final decision by the executive council on the question of suspend ing the 12 pro-Lewis unions will be made next week.
