END OF HEAT WAVE PREDICTED AS RAIN IS DUE IN NORTHWEST; 100 DEGREES HERE AGAIN TODAY Cooler Weather Will Sweep Eastward as Showers Fall in Pacific Section. DAKOTAS, HARDEST HIT, TO GET RELIEF DURING NEXT FEW DAYS Millions in Swelterbelt Cheer News. Grain Market Breaks Heavily. Deaths Mount to 536. (Copyright, 1936, by the Associated Press) The end of the national heat wave was sighted today and millions cheered. Cool weather should begin to sweep eastward from the North- west tonight. Forecaster J. R. Lloyd of the Chicago Weather Bureau said the torrid blanket, which has spread death to humans and growing things over the northern half of the Nation from the Rockies East would be disspelled in the Northwest by rain tonight. A parched population hailed the news with delight. ‘Weary farmers felt encouraged that some of their crops would be saved. Heat-driven city folk sighed with relief. On the Chicago Board of Trade, the weather forecaster’s pre- diction caused a stampeding loss in corn and wheat, Dakotas, Hardest Hit, Will Get Rain. Cooler air from the Pacific will bring showers and “near normal temperatures” into the Dakotas, Lloyd said, then move slowly eastward to reach the Eastern half of drought and heat-stricken middle America by Monday night. The Middle West has suffered from record-breaking high tem- peratures for nine consecutive days, and for practically three weeks from lack of ample precipitation. Early this week the terrific heat also, embraced the remainder of the North. ern half of the Nation from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic sea- board, several days after it descended with all its devasting force on the Midwest. Forecaster Lloyd did not say whether | relief from the torridity would affect ihe Nation east of Indiana after Mon- day, following & course similar to the heat wave. Death Toll Hits 563. ‘The heat and drought to date have caused at least 536 deaths and crop damage estimated in excess of $300,- 000,000. “Definite indications of a break-up #n the heat in the Northwest are meen,” was Forecaster Lloyd's news. “A new mass of cool air from the Northern Pacific is moving over the North Rocky Mountain region—Idaho, Montana and Yyoming, causing show- ers and cooler weather in that sec- rion. “It is expected to spread Fast over the Dakotas, Northwest Minnesota, ‘Western Nebraska and extreme North- west Kansas by Sunday night, bring- fing showers and cooler temperatures with it.” He sald scattered showers were like- | ly tonight in the southern part of Jower Michigan and the extreme north part of Indiana, as well as local show- «rs for Northern Michigan and some- what lower temperatures. Rain May Be Heavy. ‘The rains impending for the Middle West, Lloyd said, might be “conse- quential in some places.” He declared ihere would be a thundershower con- dition and local areas likely would re- ceive heavy rains while others would experience only moderate showers. Lower Missouri, Illinois and Indiana will be the last of the North Central region to receive the cooler weather, expected to reach there by Monday night, Lloyd said. The immediate sharp break in prices ot the Nation’s major grain markets upen receipt of the prediction of the end of the heat and drought reflected the importance of the weather fore- cast. It meant more, much more, than the probable ending almost at once of the wholesale slaughter of humans by 1he heat and of live stock by drought and torridity. Aberdeen, S. Dak., recorded yester- day’'s top official reading, 113.5, but 100-degree torridity engulfed half the States. Baltimore’s 108 and the 98 at Ashville, N. C., were all-time highs, The 106 at Minneapolis and 98 at Erie, Pa., equaled record peaks. Phil- edelphia’s 104 and the 104.6 at Rich- mond, Va., were new July marks, Saving Lives Is Uppermost. Ruin mushroomed in the agricul- tural sections, but interest in saving crops was dominated by concern for preservation of human life. Twenty-nine woman delegates to a Troy, N. Y. convention were over- come. A half holiday was declared for more than 100,000 W. P. A. work- ers in New York City after 75 women engaged in a sewing project collapsed at their machines. Mayor La Guardia ordered municipal employes to go home. Thousands of workers in in- dustrial and business houses were per- mitted to leave. At Milwaukee 16 W. P. A. seam- stresses fainted. Three factories closed at Janesville, Wis. Millions slept in the open. A num- ber of Chicagoans, lunches under their arms, took advantage of a the- ater chain’s invitation to spend the night in cool show houses. New Yorkers were advised to curtail their withdrawals to avert a water shortage. One and a third billion gallons—a five-year daily record— were pumped in Chicago. Highways buckled. Small ponds the drought belt turned to dust. Streams became rivulets. St. Louis (See DROUGHT, Page 2.) TWO DIE IN CRASH Brother of Air College Head and Student Are Killed. EAST ST.

STEEL MEN ACCEPT TERMS OF WHEELING Strike at Ohio Plant Had Been Marked by Killing and Much Violence. By the Associated Press. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, July 11— Richard Evans, president of a Joint Committee of Portsmouth lodges of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers, said today striking employes of the Wheeling Steel Corp. plant had accepted a settlement offered by the corporation. Evans did not disclose terms of the settlement which would end the strike, marked by the killing of one company guard and numerous outbreaks of violence since it began last May 22. He sald he expected the 3,500 em- ployes of the company to return to work within a few days.

CHICAGO, July 11.—In wild sell- ing wheat prices smasl.~d downward the 5-cent limit permitteu by trading rules on the Board of Trade today, carrying corn to a loss of almost 7 cents from early high records, on news that the end of the heat wave was predicted by the Weather Bureau. The pits were deluged with selling orders as profit-takers dumped their holdings on the market at the slight- est suggestion of possible impending break-up of the heat and drought. Stirred to a fury of excitement as the wave of selling mounted, brokers found themselves swamped. Waving their arms and shouting, they quickly unloaded as buyers cut the bids as much as rules allowed. July wheat broke to $1.04!, and the same price was quoted for September on the tumble. Contributing to the selling was word of rains in parts of Canada. Trade reports indicated American mills were taking large quantities of wheat from the Dominion, duty paid, and the hint of expanding importations acted as a sensationally “bearish” factor in the market.

Collier of the Bu- reau of Agricultural Economics came this comment: “In view of fears expressed for 1934 production, the forecast is very en- couraging and suggests there will be ample food and feed supplies if the figures are not drastically cut in Au- gust.” Other officials noted that the July 1 report did not take in the drought damage of the last 10 days, and in view of that they called the report “conservative.” “Drought conditions,” the Crop Re- porting Board said, “have reached a point where crop prospects are rather in Mexico City for “needlessly” e.mnlldeflnllely poorer than at this date (See CROPS, Page. 4.)

BERLIN, July 11.—A far-reach- ing agreement between Germany and Austria, a usually yeliable source said today, will be proc’aimed to the world tonight by Minister of Propaganda Paul Josef Goebbels. While the text of tonight's an- nouncement was carefully guarded, enough became known to indicate the two nations had buried the hatchet. Earlier in the day even high Ger- man officials believed a reply to the British Locarno questionnaire would be made today, but this was again postponed at Igast until next week.

Independence Guaranteed. VIENNA, July 11 (®).— Austrian crancel’ry spokesman declared today an anaouncement regarding an Aus- tro-German treaty normalizing rela- tions between the countries could be expected tonight. This development followed* Ambas- sador Franz von Papen's flying trip to Berchtesgaden Friday for a confer- 2nce with Adolf Hitler. It was understood the treaty would louch upon the following points: A guarantee of Austrian indepen- dence, dissolution of the Austrian Legion in Germany, stopping of Naz propaganda in Austria, lifting of the 1,000-mark visa charge for German tourists, liberalization of Austrian passport restrictions for, visitors to Germany, and amnesty for Austrian Nazi prisoners. Austrian Nazis would be allowed to enter the patriotic fatherland front (the organization of Chancellor Kurt Von Schuschnigg) as individuals but not in groups, and Austrian Nazis in Germany would be permitted to return home if Austrian citizenship was not revoked. A chancellery spokesman described the Austrian declaration as “that of & German state which feels itself bound to the rest of Europe.” He outlined the statement as fol- lows: Both Germany and Austria agree not to interfere in the other's in- ternal policies. Germany recognizes the Rome protocol (among Austria, Italy and Hungary) as the basis for the Aus- trian foreign policy. The spokesman added Austria would declare she does not follow an anti- German policy and that Austria re- mains a member of the League of Na- tions and will participate in discus- sions regarding the re-formation of the League.

With the administration increasingly alarmed at the situation and added pressure for punitive action coming | from within their own ranks, the of the| American Federation of Labor today welcomed a week end recess in its de- liberations over whether the 12 mem- ber unions of the Committee for In- dustrial Orgainzation should be sus- pended. ‘The administration concern over the threatened break in the labor ranks was reflected in the holding of a mid- night conference at Union Station last night between Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Secretary of Labor, and President Roosevelt. McGrady, who has close personal contact with all in- rdividuals in the organized labor move- ment, hurried to the station just before the President left on a three-week vacation trip. F8r several minutes, he talked rapidly about the evident an- tagonism between key officials of the two factions. Before the council, much of the pressure in favor of suspension is being exerted by the powerful metal trades department of the federation through John P. Frey, department head.

RECOGNITION OF CHANGE FORCED ON GOVERNMENT Work Rushed on Structure Earlier for Completion in Time for Dedication. By the Associated Press. YORK, July 11.—Dedicating the $64,000,000 Tri-Borough Bridge today, President Roosevelt cited it as a symbol of changing human needs that are constantly making govern- ment more complex and costly. The Chief Executive stopped here briefly on his way North for a vaca= tion cruise to dedicate the huge structure across the East River which P. W. A. funds helped to build. He was accompanied by Secretary Ickes, Public Works Administrator. In a brief address, the President noted that in older days there was no need for such a bridge connecting Manhattan with the Queens and the Bronx. He recalled that a little more than 100 years ago, his own great- grandfather owned a farm in Harlem close to the Manhattan approach of the bridge. Confronted With New Needs. “Some of us who are charged with the responsibilities of Government,” he added, “pause from time to time to ask ourselves whether human needs and human invention are going to change as greatly in the generations to come as they have in the generation that has passed. “It is not alone that as time goes by we are confronted with new needs— needs created by hitherto undreamed of conditions—it is also because growth in human knowledge labels now as needs many things which in the olden days we did not think of as needs.” With that text the President launched into a discussion of gov- ernmental functions. “Government itself, whether it be that of a city or that of a sovereign State or that of the Union of the States, must, if it is to survive, recog- nize change and give to new needs reasonable and constant help. “Government itself cannot close its eyes to the need for slum clearance and s&chools and bridges.” Citing changes in governmental de« mands, the President said no one used to ‘“protest against the dumping of sewage and garbage into our rivers and harbors,” nor “protest that our school houses were badly ventilated and badly lighted.” uor “protest be- cause there were not playgrounds for children in crowded tenement areas™ nor “protest against firetraps or face tory smoke.” Bridge Example of Works.
