In Heat Wave
(By United PitM)
More hot, sticky weather
poured into New York today
and experts said the new heat
wave would intensify the North
Atlantic multi-million dollar
drought.
The weather bureau withdrew
Its promise of a few scattered
showers for the parched area.
It said clouds had dissipated and
ho rain was in sight for the en
tire week-end.
Collars were loosened in most
other parts of the country, too,
Including the Gulf coast. Show
ers were predicted for the cen
tral states and cooler weather
headed out of the northern
plains, bound for the upper Mis-
slssippi valley.
As New York marked the
29th day of its worst drought in
41 years, about the only people
with a good word for the wea
ther were those selling refresh
ments at amusement parks and
beaches.
They were oiling their cash
registers, preparing for another
week-end descent by the swel
tering. A million potential ice
cream cone buyers were expect
ed at Coney Island alone.
Vacationers elsewhere were
promised a comfortable week
end. The weatherman said no
heat waves were coming up in
other sections.
Bridges Cries
'Persecution'
San Francisco Jimp 24 (U.PJ
The lawyer for Harry Bridges
cnargea today tne government
was trying to "persecute" the
CIO longshore leader in its an
nounced plan to demand $100,
000 bail.
, Bridges appeared In federal
court yesterday to ask permis
sion to attend an international
conference of maritime workers
in Marseille, France, next month.
Federal Judge Michael Roche de
nied his request.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob
ert McMillan, who objected to
Bridges' request, disclosed at the
same time he had been instruct
ed to ask that Bridges' bail be
raised from $5,000 to $100,000.
Defense Attorney Herbert
Resner claimed the government
"really is exposing its hand."
"It keeps trying to tell us that
this is just a common, ordinary
case," he said. "It is now abun
dantly clear that the government
Is trying to persecute Bridges
and harass the longshoremen's
union."
Bridges is charged with con
spiracy and perjury in connec
tion with his application for citi
zenship in 1945. Two other un
ion aides have been indicted
with him.

Greek Premier
Dies Suddenly
Athens, June 24 W) Themis-
tokles Sophoulis, premier of
Greece, died today.
He was 88 years old. Death
occurred at his summer resi
dence at 4:15 p.m. although he
had been ill and was near death
last fall, his death at this time
was unexpected.
Sophoulis, a key figure in
Greek politics for a half cen
tury, had been premier since
Sept. 7, 1947, despite the turmoil
of Greek politics occasioned by
the civil war with the commun
ist guerrillas in the north.
He weathered the most re
cent political storm only two
montiis ago, and this after suf
fering a severe heart attack
which had him bedridden for
several months. His reshuffled
cabinet took over in April af
ter a scandal involving a mem
ber of the previous government
had caused the aged premier to
offer King Paul his resignation.
The venerable leader o the
liberal party had been an impor
tant cog in the Truman doctrine,
under which the aid of the Unit
ed States went to Greece in her
civil war and to Turkey, under
the shadow of the Russian bear.
Mrs. Selma Fones
Held to Grand Jury
In a brief appearance before
district court Friday morning,
the 28-year-old mother who is
accused of stealing more than
$1100 from Willamette univer
sity waived preliminary exam
ination and asked to be held for
the grand jury.
Mrs. Selma Fones declined to
enter a plea on the larceny
charge. She has, however, sign
ed two statements for city police
admitting the theft of the money
which began last February.
Th,e former WAC was arrest
ed by police on the charge
Thursday night and has been
lodged since that time in the
women's section of the Marion
county jail.

Highland Park
Playground
The Salem Junior Woman's
club expects to have estimates
Monday on the cost of equipping
Highland park with playground
apparatus, and bids will be in
the hands of the club shortly.
If the financial help of Salem
service clubs can be had the
project will proceed.
Highland playground is a
project for this summer. In
the fall th" club hopes to make a
start toward the. eiquipping of
six more playgrounds, and if it
can be financed the grounds will
be ready for the youngsters the
following year. These play
grounds are in Kay park, Prin-
gle park, Bush pasture, Marion
square, and the playgrounds at
22nd and Lee streets, and 15th
and Mill.
The proposal is to install at
Highland this summer, and
later at the other grounds, a
swing, merry-go-round, slide,
kindergarten swing, and hori
zontal bar. Specifications for
each of these units have been
prepared by E. E. Woodson.
