Deaths In Heat Wave Increased To 132 (Continued from Page One) the only comfortable spots over the two-thirds of the country in the grip of the hot weather were the Northern Border States. Tem peratures also were pleasant along the Pacific Coast. But the heat was on full blast In the Central, Eastern and Southern States. Some rain fell in the upper Lakes Region and North Central States. But gen erally after the showers the mer cury started to climb and humid ity increased. New Records Set A mass of cool air from North western Canada brought relief to parts of Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. It never reached sweltering Chicago, where the mercury hit above 90 yesterday for the sixth consecutive day. A high of 95 was forecast today. New temperature records for the date were set in many cities yesterday as the mercury ranged between 90 and 100. Philadel phia's 99.2 was the summer season's hottest day. At Lancas ter, Pa., the reading was 101 for the second straight day. Ohio counted four deaths from the heat and uncounted prostra tions. Toledo's 99.3 reading was the year's highest and a record for July 5. At Springfield and Youngstown the top was 103. The heat brought an eruotion In U. S. route 30 south of Marion, O. The macadam and asphalt pavement bulged cross-wise and split open. A temperature of 100 degrees buckled the concrete pavement on V. S. highway 60, 10 miles east of Owensboro, Ky. Disaster Decree Asked New Jersey, reporting 95 de grees yesterday, expected some cooling off today but there was no rain in sight to break the 45 day drought. In Washington Rep. Auchincloss (R-NJ) urged that the Agriculture Department de clare New Jersey a disaster area so farmers could apply for fed eral loans because of crop losses. Baltimore's 99.5 reading yester day was I he highest since last August. Some heat deaths and several prostration cases were re ported. The U. S.

In New York the city water commissioner said the city was using 1,400,000,000 gallons of wa ter dally, 200,000,000 gallons above normal, because of the drought. The vast reservoir system now holds 220,000,000,000 gallons, about 67 per cent of maximum. The Monroe Doctrine was an nounced bv President Jam a m e s Monroe in his message to Con gress in lUJ. States At Issue In Boat Tragedy CRISFIELD, Md., July tWB Did fcarl Nelson meet nis death in the Maryland or Virginia waters of Chesapeake Bay? Virginia officials contend the 60-vear-old Crisfield fisherman was crabbing illegally within their territory when ne was stop ped by a Virginia conservation patrol plane. He was shot accidentally yes terday when he tried to wrest a rifle from a Virginia deputy, Charles M. Lankford Jr., fisher ies commissioner of that state, said. Maryland authorities said, on the other hand, that eyewitnesses reported Nelson was in the wat ers of his home state when he was shot. He was found bleeding and un conscious from a hip wound by fellow crabbers and died before he could be taken to shore. Authorities of both states. In obedience to orders from their governors, started an intensive investigation. The shooting was the latest In a long series of border incidents arising from respective fishing rights of the two states. Rivalry has always been in tense. Sporadic outbreaks of shooting have been fairly common on the lower Potomac River since colon ial times. ysl rAti.Ett ftibN. AUTO-TRUCK GENERAL LIABILITY FIRE We speclaliie In prompt claim service.

Gulbrandsen was booked In the Humboldt County Jail on the tech nical holding charge ol "enroute to Santa Rosa." Reporter Summoned The climax to the manhunt set In motion by the revolting crime was as astonishing as it was sud den. Gulbrandsen called the news paper, said he had a good news story and asked that a reporter be sent to a designated bar and ask for "Johnny." Neumeier was assigned. When Gulbrandsen told him, over a beer, that "I'm the guy they're looking for In Sonoma," Neu meier at first refused to believe it. But Gulbrandsen produced Iden tification, and Flint'! car keys and wallet. Neumeier took him to the news paper office. There Gulbrandsen gave him and Hodgkinson his long statement. The three went out for a leisurely dinner. Then Hodgkinson called Sheriff s De tective Charles Cavagnaro. Other than his being "In a stupor," he gave no motive for the attack on the two men. Nor did he explain why he bludgeoned Mrs. Paget. Gulbrandsen was released from prison June 17 after doing two vears on a San Mateo assault charge. He was convicted of stab bing a San Mateo man 13 times in a quarrel over a woman In the man's apartment. In his statements here, he re ferred to his menial "quirks." Per haps it would have been best, he said, if the state had sent him to a mental home afler the San Mateo Incident, and not to prison.
