OKLAHOMA CITY July 30--(111) —
The prolonged heat wavrt and drought
nave no 'indication of breaking in Ok-
lahoma today as temperatures climbed
to past 100
Somewhat: unsettled weather during
the next 24 hours may bring scattered
showen3 to the state but they will be
too light to afford relief or replenish
dwindling water supplies Showers fell
in some sections over the week-end
The states high temperature was 110

WASHINGTON July 30---(UP)--
Typhoid is stalking hunger and thirst
in the drought-ravaged west the U S
Public Health Service warned today
Although not yet of epidemic pro-
portions reports from the suffering
region show 1128 new cases in the past
eight weeks 114 more than in the
same period last year
- Fewer Cases In Oklahoma
Authorities here are studying re-
ports from state health authorities
carefully A warning was issued to all
t those living in drought-afflicted areas
and to tourists entering these states
t An Indication that the typhpid dan-
ger was scattered rather than gen
eml was seen in the fact that four of
eight drought states showed fewer
asesthan last year These states are
Ok latiorria South Dakota North Da-
kohl and Indiana'
Miss° Ciri had mora than 100 cases
above last 40ear's figure1TexaS almost
as many additional ones and Illinois
about ' 50 Nebraska had seven new
cases the -same as last year' - -
The 'figure for Mimourt was
compared with $2 'Texas 496 compared
with 398 and Illinois 198 compared
' with LSC - 1
Warsied To Be Cautious
While not alarmed over the increase
In typhoid cases public health officers
pointed out that the danger of the
disease was bound to increase with the
cxhauttion of normal drinking water
upplies In many towns the water
thortage has been too recent to show
any reflection in rising typhoid rates
The health service advised personrr
in the drought regions to:
Boil all drinking water maintain
igid sanitation rules guard against
insect bites avoid malnutrition ol
children avoid unnecessary exposure
to the run rest regularly Boil unpas-
teurized milk and call in a physician
at the first signs of a headachy laggy
feeling accompanying increasing tern

cessed and the rest will be shipped to

AAA that there would be no interfer-
ence with handling of government-

The rate of cattle purchases will be
reduced "for the time being" in states
where the heaviest purchases already
have been made officials said Pur-
chases will be accelerated in areas

SUNDAY NIGHT AT
UNION MEET HERE
"The Family Record" is Topic
Chosen by First Presbyterial
Minister in Service
Taking into consideration four
things: death Judgment God and

tor of the First Presbyterian church
delivered a forceful message on "The
Family Record" Sunday evening at
the open air union church services
conducted at the intersection of Flo-
' ble and Moses streets 1

The 'congregation was-rowele up of
members of three churches Methodist-I
Christian and Presbyterian that have
united in the summer evening services
Many friends also attended and the
seats arranged in the street were sur-
rounded by automobiles filled with

God Writes Our Records
"A family record is often said to be
found in the family Bible which is
elther packed carefully away in a
trunk in the attic and is used to re-
cord the births deaths and Marriages i
of the family members or in good
Christian homes is usually found ly-
ing close at hand on the stand and is
often read to find solace cheer: corn- i
fort strength and power The record-
ing of important happenings in the
family life is a family record but thc
real record will be found written in
the word of god" Rey Fraser said
Other interesting points in his ser-
mon quoted in part are follows:
"God knows and writes the records
of families and if these could be read
they might be unpleasant Some day
these records will be disclosed and
let us prepare for that Let us dwell
upon the lives and records of various'
families For instance take the life
of a wealthy man who might laugh
and scorn at the working man when
the record of his family compared
with that of a poor family and the
simple faith of the trusting toiler is
nothing Wealth does not mean ev-
erything however it is sometimes
wonderful to have

National Geographic Society co-sponsor
with the army of Saturday's ill-
fated voyage into the stratosphere
hopes to back another stratosphere ex-
pedition officials indicated today
Plans for another attempt to better
the worlds altitude mark are vague so
far and it is expected nothing will be
done definitely until scientists make a
thorough study of the wreckage of the
balloon which ripped while at an alti-
tude of nearly 12 miles and jeopardised
the lives t of its crew of three ‘
Doubt Second night
Because of the time required to fab-
ricate such a large balloon and to make
another airtight gondala it wu doubt-
ed that any further stratosphere flight
could be attempted this year
It is understood that the National
Geographic Society has ample funds to
finance another expedition as heavy
Insurance was carried on the balloon
which gave way Saturday American
companies insured the craft for the
period it was being transported and was
on the ground and Lloyd's of London
carried the risk while it was' in flight
While the insurance has not yet been
adjusted it appeared evident the Lloyd's
will have to stand the loss of the bal-
loon ripped while in mid-air
The wreckage of the balloon the
gondola and all equipment will be sent
here for scientific examination
To Examine Debris Thoroughly
The debris will be gone over carefully
In the hope that some records of scien-
tific value can be salvaged Readings
of many of the scientific instruments
were recorded constantly throughout

special military court which has power
of life and death with no appeal It
increased tension created by the gov-

associates
Holzweber sat with composure as the
prosecutor accused him of being the
most important ringleader who dis-

The prosecutor said Planetfa's onlY

Johann Stein had told police that
Planetta boasted of "how I killed Doll-
