CHICAGO, June 25.—Intense heat hastened the destruction of crops in drought-scourged sections of the West today. Concern grew apace as the Federal forecaster of Chicago described the current month as the second driest June on record. No relief was sight- ed. Meteorologists cited the “likeli- hood of a few scattered thundershow- ers in the northern third of* the North Central States,” but predicted generally fair weather, accompanied by “abnormally high” temperatures. In North Dakota—where officials reckoned half the State's 87,000 farm families were in need of assistance— readings of 107 degrees at Bismarck, 105 at Jamestown and 101 at Fargo were recorded yesterday. Napoleon and Dickinson reported unofficial highs of 110 and 109, respectively. Aberdeen, S. Dak., reported a seasonal peak of 106 and Miles City, Mont., 103. Cattle Being Shipped. “Conditions are the worst I ever encountered,” stated M. A. Kennedy, South Dakota’s W. P. A. administra- tor. He said cattle were being shipped out by the trainload in some ravaged | areas. Short harvests of oats and | barley were in prospect for parts of Jowa. Chicago grain traders received private advice that 75 per cent of North Dakota’s wheat was imperiled. The situation was ‘“growing worse hourly” in Southeastern Montana, de- clared Gov. Elmer Holt. Distressed North Dakota farmers went to Bismarck to hear Gov. Walter ‘Welford's report on a $50,000,000 to $100.000,000 program drafted in Washington for the relief of agricul- turists in the Northwest. Grasshoppers Migrate. Millions of grasshoppers migrated ¢ through Eastern Nebraska and West- ern Iowa. Prof. M. H. Swenk of the « University of Nebraska described the horde as the heaviest he had seen in . many years. He said they were of the same type as those which de- #troyed crops in the 1874 plague. Nat C. Murray, Chicago crop ob- gerver, asserted that in many districts of the Middle West June precipita- tion had measured less than it did in the same month of the devastating drought of 1934. Western railroads decided to adopt emergency rates on cattle in North- eastern Wyoming and Southern Mon- tana, subject to Interstate Commerce Commission approval.

By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, June 25.—Former Gen. Nicholas Rodriguez, head of the Fascist Gold Shirts, announced yesterday 25,000 of his followers would march on Mexico City soon. “Come on horses, burros, goats if necessary,” he said in bis call to ac- tion. The Gold Shirts will protest present government trends, although declaring their loyalty to President Cardenas. The exact date for the march was not set. The march of the anti-Jewish Gold Shirts, officially titled the Accion Rev- olucionaria Mexicana (Mexican Revo- lutionary Action), will be to show their strength, Rodriguez said, and to “offer their arms to President Cardenas.” “In that it will differ,” he remarked, “from the marches that the Fascists have staged upon Rome, the Hitlerites upon Berlin and the proposed one of the ‘Cross of Fire’ upon Paris.” Founded to oppose Jews and com- munism and promote nationalism, the Gold Shirts once claimed 60,000 mem- bers in Mexico. Recently they have been sharply criticized by left wing labor organizations and there have been several bloody clashes. Two months ago Presidént Cardenas ordered their dissolution, but- the ban has not been enforced. . Traffic Violators Lectured. Traffic rules violators in Bremen, Germany, are being made to get up early Sunday mofnings to attend lec- tures on regulatiops. Police devised this penalty as a method of stopping too frequent infractions of traffic laws. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, POLICE PRAISED FOR SAFETY DRIVE Maj. Brown and Others Are Guests at Banquet of A.A.A.Board. The part Washington police have played in helping to reduce child traffic fatalities in the last decade was emphasized at a dinner tendered 13 members of his command last night by the Advisory Board of the American Automobile Association. Besides the officers, who were picked for their co-operation in the schoolboy patrol program, other guests included prominent business men and officials of the safety patrol in Montgomery, Prince Georges and Arlington Coun- tles. George W. Offutt, chalrman of the Advisory Board, who presided, cred- ited the police department with re- ducing trafic deaths among children between 5 and 14 years of age from 50 in 1926 to two last year. Maj. Brown was introduced by the chairman as “the man who has risen from being the only policeman in | Georgetown boys were not afraid of to the greatest moral force today in | the District.” Isaac Gans of the Alcoholic Beverage | e i THE IDEAL SUMMER HOTEL © Contraliocation ¢ Free Swimming Pool © Soclal Activities « Gym o Coffee *Open Air Reof Lounge |] o Comfortable Cool Police Supt.

Prior to the banquet the group of traffic officials who recently returned from Milwaukee, where they studied traffic control methods in the ‘country’s “safest city,” met in the office of Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, high- way director, to map plans for im- provements here. NOTHER AND THO DAUGHTERSDROHN Parent, Unable to Swim, Plunges in Lake to Res- cue Girls.
