As Failures, 44 Feeder

(By the Associated Press)
At least 28 persons have died as
a result of the Midwest's pro
longed heat wave, and the hot
weather continued today with no
prospect of relief.
In Chicago, 24 persons were re
ported to have died of causes in
duced by heat since midnight
Monday, while two such deaths
were reported in Indiana and two
others in Minnesota.
The Canadian cold air mass was
stalled at the U.S. boundary, mov

Another day of continued sear
ing heat was forecast for vir
tually all the states between the
ADpalachians and Rockies. The
Chicago Weather Bureau said the
mercury would climb to between
96 and 102 degrees in Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
In South Dakota the maximum
was expected to be lOo. and in
North Dakota, Iowa and Illinois
as much as 100.
The New England and middle
Atlantic states were reported back
to near normal readings along
with the Pacific Coast area.
No Relief For Crops
Except for scattered local
thundershowers of little conse
quence generally, the forecaster
said no moisture was in signi ior
the withering crops now reported
in some localities to have been
written off as failures. However,
Central Wisconsin reported a
"fairlv eeneral" rain last night
and early today which was de
scribed as a "soaker."
While some farmers reported
corn crops deteriorated to a point
now beyond recovery, Dr. Willis
McCann. a veterinarian of Sugar
Grove, 111., said 44 feeder steers
dropped dead of the heat in a
pasture near there yesterday.
15 Planes Stated
In Search for Lund
SPOKANE, Aug. 21. UP)
Fifteen planes were to take to
the air this afternoon to continue
the search for Paul O. Lund,
Roseburg, Ore., councilman, his
wife and two children who dis
appeared Aug. 3 on a flight from
Oregon to Shelby, Mont.
Roy Shreck of the Mamer
Shreck Company, headquarters of
the search, said lain and low
hanging clouds this morning pre
vented flights but the weather
was clearing and would permit
successful observation this after
noon. Shreck said planes scheduled
to make a search today included
three or four from the National
Guard in Spokane, four from
the Civil Air Patrol at Richland
and seven or eight civilian planes
from Spokane.
Flights were made yesterday
over the St. Maries district.
Shreck said the search would
be restricted to an area within
a 300-mile radius of Kennewick,
Lund's last known stop, because
the plane had fuel enough for
only that distance. Lund said at
Kennewick he planned to land
next in Spokane to change a pro
pellor. Shreck said today that
calls to many airports in the area
indicated he had not stopped at
any other field after leaving
Kennewick.

UP) British Columbia authorities
sought an explanation today for
a new wave of violence in which
night raiding parties, one led by
a nude woman, have terrorized
Doukhobor communities in the
Kootenay region.
Police arrested three persons,
one a woman, on charges of arson

A big community house at

000,000 $2,100,000,000 higher

Mr. Truman twice vetoed ef

"Perhaps," Bridges declared,
"the President now will not be so

But the chief executive said the

Dairen was occupied by the
Japanese when they launched

Russia and China agreed that It
was to be returned to Chinese ad

trade. Russia, however, has ban

The State Department also dis
closed today that Russia has pro

but made it plain the talks will
be held regardless of the Soviet
objections.
It is understood that Russia
claims the plans for the confer
