His latest menu included plenty of steaming entres Friday, garnished with cloud bursts, a water spout, tor- nadic winds, excessive temperatures, rain, rain and more rain. Many sections of the nation report- ed no immediate relief in sight. Only the Pacific coast states had what could be described as normal weather. Fifteen deaths were attributed di- rectly or indirectly to the weather Friday. Seven persons drowned, two in Massachusetts, three in Minnesota, one in Missouri and one in Illinois. Eight other deaths were traced in- directly to the heat and humidity, in- cluding two in Ohio, two in Illinois, and one each in Michigan, Iowa, Mas- sachusetts and Rhode Island. Two Trains Derailed Search of Gull lake continued for the body of Robert Johnson, 12, Min- neapolis, drowned along with Jane Erickson, 9, Brainerd, when a boat capsized. The Erickson girl’s body was found Saturday mornign. Three others clung to the upset boat and were rescued. A cloudbust near Bainville, Mont., sent a wall of water raging down a hillside to wash away a section of the Great Northern railroad’s right of way, derailing the “Empire Builder” and injuring 29 passengers of the crack train. Five passengers on a Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pa- cific local were hurt in a similar acci- dent near Baker, Mont.

Wrecking a power station, a wind- storm Friday night threw the area around Neilisville, Wis. into dark- ness and practically destroyed a store and filling station. New tales of heroism in rescue acts included that of 19-year old Francis Berry, who pulled a cramped swim- mer into a boat in the midst of a ba storm on Red Lake near Gon- Manley Malmo, 23, swam to the aid of two small boys in an oarless boat, but cramps seized him. Hanging to & log, he was pulled into a boat by Berry while others rescued the boys, Buddy Jones and Ben Lawrence, five miles out on the lake where the wind had driven the boat.

RELIEF WORK HOURS SHARPLY CURTAILED BY HOPKINS’ ORDER} Says Aim Is to Carry on Higher Proportion of ‘Substan- tial Projects’ Washington, July 6—(#)—Harry L. Hopkins’ slashing of hours on relief Jobs was described officially Saturday as an attempt to carry on a higher Proportion of more substantial proj- ects. 5 On work relief projects under Hop- kins, the maximum hours were cut from 180 a month to 140. The pay, which has been announced as rang- ing from $19 to $94 a month depend- ing on locality and kind of work, will remain the same. Officials said that with the hours each man will work reduced, the materials involved will go that much further in the job-supplying cam- paign. The officials acknowledged that the new change will slow up the Program. New Dealers have stressed the dif- ficulty of finding enough durable Projects on which to put unemployed to work and yet stay within the money available. The changed hours, it was said, will affect more than 2,000,000 of the 3,500,000 persons whom President Roosevelt aims to put to work. In Line With Others Hopkins aimed, it was said, to put his works progress hours more in line with federally-aided highway projects and with PWA jobs. In those cases, a 130-hour month prevails, with pay stopping when bad weather halts work. Under Hopkins’ plan, weather does not halt pay. Relief officials calculate that un- der the new hour schedule, work relief wages would average spproximately 35 cents per hour, which is consider- ably under the prevailing rates in private industry. PWA scales for un- skilled labor range from 40 to 50 cents. per hour. The 35 cents an hour average was based on the official estimate that the over-all average monthly wage for all classifications and localities of labor involved would be about $50. The lowest wage of $19 in small southern towns averages 13 cents an hour and the $94 top, to professional or technical employes in such centers as New York, is about 70 cents. Ofticials said, however, that hourly rates really would be somewhat high- er, because no reduction is made for time lost because of weather.

In Italy, Premier Mussolini an- nounced his determination to pro- secute war against Ethiopia while in Mongolia there loomed the prospect of new and more intense clashes be- tween Japanese-Manchukuan inter- ests on one side and Chinese-Russian interests on the other. Mounted on a cannon, Mussolini told 12,000 blackshirts at Salerno, ready to depart for East Africa, that “we have decided upon a struggle in which we as a government and people will not turn back, The decision is irretrievable.” Saturday's speech was addressed to the volunteer blackshirts of the “Jan- uary 3” division who are expected to sail shortly for Africa. TI Duce told them the eyes of Italy were upon them and exhorted them to do their duty. Points to Past Victories “Remember,” he said, “that Italians have always defeated the black races. Adua (where Italy suffered a severe defeat in an invasion of Ethiopia in 1896) was an exception only because of the difference in proportion be- tween the forces. There were only 4,000 Italians against 100,000 Ethio- ns.” While the volunteers cheered him enthusiastically the premier, dressed in the uniform of chief of the Fas- cisti militia, declared: “Italy today is rewriting an heroic page of her Cad All Italy he declared ts her song wo ae larg for Ain, Srey a Italian prefers a life of life of uselessness.” ‘The last phrase produced g trem- endous ee Mussolini Went on to say that It Was @ protagonist of a great page of her bistary and that “all the world must yecognize the worth of the Fascist spirit.” Japs Issue Ultimatum The new Asiatic trouble vesulted from an ultimatum by Japan and Manchukuo to the Mongolian Peo- ple’s Republic demanding the right to establish a corps of observers in the Mongolian Republic. A communique, printed in the of- ficial Soviet press at Moscow, said Manchukuans and the Japanese Kwantung army threatened to de- mand withdrawal of Mongolian troops from a large eastern section of Mon- golia if terms of the ultimatum are not accepted. The demand followed upon a series of border incidents similar to those which occurred recently on the Man- chukuo-Soviet frontier, and allegedly were of a provocative character. The right of permanent residence in Mongolia was demanded for ob- servers, the communique said, as well as the privilege to move freely about the country and maintain contact with Manchukuo. The Japanese also demanded the right to build a teie- graph line in Mongolian territory to facilitate communication with observ- ers, the Soviet press reported. See No Peaceful Settlement “Recent events prove that Man- chukuo, with the Japanese army’s support, wishes to avoid peaceful set- tlement of border incidents and pre- Pare the way for further uccupation of our territory,” said the communi- que, issued in Ulan Bator, capita! of Mongolia.
