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. Weather Bureau re
ported a high of 98 at Minne-
apolis and St. Paul and a cool 60
at Duluth. some 160 m les north
on Lake Superior;. Pittsburgh's
nign was hi; wasnington ana
Cleveland 96; New York, Nash
ville, Louisville, Indianapolis and
New Orleans 94.
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.

nounced bv President Jam a m e s

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.

that she had been raped. .
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.

The concern, which sells reli
