Blast of Cold Air
Brings Some Relief
To Long Heat Wave
By UNITED PRESS
Cold air dented a seven-dav '
heat wave todav. but weather-
men said most of the nation's j
eastern two-thirds would keep
os suffering.
.With summer still officially
six days away, merchants re
ported sweltering c ustomers
were already flooding" them with
orders for air conditioners and
swimming suits in many big
cities.
Cool fronts nibbled on the
edge on the huge mass of hot
air in the Northeast, northern
Midwest, and Rocky Mountains.
Some relief was promised to
, day for New England, the Great
Lakes and the upper Mississippi
Valley. Cool Pacific air had al
ready flowed into parts of east
ern Wyoming and northeast
Colorado, dropping tempera
tures as much as 14 degrees.
More Scorchers Predicted
But more 90 and 100-degree
scorchers were predicted for
most of the vast area from the
Great Plains to the East Coast.
Rising humidity made the heat
feel even worse.

Costly Forest Fire
Spurred by
Rages in Arizona
Winslow. Ariz. (U.R) A mul
ti-million dollar forest fire which
destroyed 15.000 acres of valua
ble timber in less than 48 hours
was again spurred by high winds
today, defying all efforts to
bring it under control.
An estimate of $3.5 million
was placed on the loss in timber
at 9:30 a.m. today by the Forest
service. The fire, described as
"definitely" man - caused, was
out of control in Sitgreaves for
est about 40 miles south of here.
Winds To. Get Stronger
Winds were consistently at 10
to 15 miles per hour this morn
ing, with gusts up to 25 miles
per hour. The weather bureau
forecast the velocity would
reach 35 miles an hour or more
later in the day.
About 800 men were on the
fire line, but their efforts to
control the two-day-old fire were
stymied by the high winds, ex
tremely low humidity and dry
timber.
A report from Winslow police
said they were asked to have
four trucks stand by in the event
it was necessary to evacuate the
Chevalon ranger station in view
of a change in wind that threat
ened it this morning.
Other Property in Path
Attempts also were being
made to save other property in
the path of the fire.
The fire raged along a 10-mile
front some 40 miles south of
here. The Forest service office
at Holbrook. Ariz., said it was
possibly caused by a camper.
Men and equipment were be
ing flown in today from Cali
fornia and other points to aid
in battling the fire, most costly
of the year in the state and one
of the most destructive in a
decade.
There were reports of men
overcome by smoke, but no in
juries among those battling the
flames.
The fire threatened the Dutch
Joe lookout station and was
only four miles from the Cheva
lon ranger station. Attempts
were being made to save them.

dieted a tough floor fight.
The Foreign Relations Com
mittee voted 9 to 5 to restore
more than half of the 51,100,-
000,000 that the House slashed
from President Eisenhower's
S4,900.000,000 foreign aid pro
gram. The committee is expected
to finish action on the bill in a
few days.
The House had passed a $3,-
800.000.000 bill including $2,-
000,000,000 military aid. The
Foreign Relations Committee re
stored $600,000,000 in military
aid to the House bill. It also re
stored $15,000,000 which the
House had eliminated from de
fense support funds for Marshal
Tito's regime in Yugoslavia. But
the Senate committee restored
the money to the general Euro
pean area. .
YugoslaTia Provision
The ' committee adopted a
House provision that would cut
off aid to Yugoslavia unless the
President personally determines
that it should be continued.
However, the committee add
ed an amendment prohibiting
the cut-off until 90 days after
enactment of the bill. The House
provision provided immediate
stoppage.
Committee restoration of the
cuts is a personal victory for the
President. He appealed from his
hospital bedside Monday to
Senate GOP and Democratic
leaders that the House cuts
jeopardizing UN. security.
Sen. J. William Fulbright CD
Ark.), a member of the commit
tee, said the whole concept of
tha foreign aid bill is "obsolete.
Obsolete Bill
Fulbright, who voted against
the military aid increase, said
the bill would have been ap
propriate a few years ago dur
ing the Korean war.
But he told reporters that now
the bill "instead of 85 per cent
military aid. should be 30 to 50
per cent military and the rest
economic and cultural assistance
to increase the stability of our
allies instead of loading them
down with guns."
Fulbright said some countries
like Britain could use military
aid, but heavy arms shipments
to new and undeveloped na
tions like Pakistan "do positive
harm create instability."
Columbia Dike
Report Optimistic
Portland (U.R) Dike patrol
men along the Columbia river in
Portland issued an optimistic
report on flood conditions today
and the weather- bureau re

nearly one foot since Wednes
day. Engineers manning the ,dikes
said that the rapidly falling
water level had caused the dikes
to "film up" and that danger of
a breakthrough was substantial
ly lessened.
Two pumps continued to con

contest at 12 noon, Saturday,

tries are expected, officials said.

county and honorary city police.

Engle will greet Mayor Miller

will, Rogue River rooster. The

tered, an hour before the contest

said. All roosters must be re
strained in some manner, ac
cording to Boosters. No entry
fee will be collected.
Entries may be made by mail
ing or bringing in person an
entry blank wtih the name of the
rooster and person entering the
rooster. Prize money will be
S500 and a trophy will be pre
sented to the crowing rooster.
Prizes will be awarded for the

during a . specified 30 minute ;
period on the day of the con
test. Cash prizes are awarded

Crows Counted '
The number of crows are .
counted by judges who are se-',
lected before the contest to '
watch each rooster or pair of
roosters and to record the crows. j
According to Boosters, when one I
rooster crows loudly, others
follow. All crows are counted i
at the same time by the judges. '
Boosters said the roosters are
not made to crow but crow of 1
their won volition. Boosters rec-1
ommend caging the rooster sev-!
eral days before the contest and
move him about in strange sur-1
roundings, since a rooster crows
best in his home surroundings.
It is also best to keep the cage i
covered, the Boosters said, and
take off the wraps just prior to
the contest. The rooster will be
fooled into thinking it is morn
ing, they said.
