The mercury hit a record 97.2 in New York City Monday, topping the city’s previous sizzler for the date of 97.1 set in 1926. Readings also sailed to a record 102 in Baltimore, and Bridgeport, Conn., and 101 in Washington. equalling a three - year high for the city. D. FALSE TEETH Rock, Slide or Slip?

Amr Storm Deaths At least four traffic deaths were blamed on Monday's rainstorm in Chicago. Up to 2 inches of rain swamped some suburban [sections just recovering from a ! record downpour July 12. Flooded streets tied up rushhour traffic in the suburbs and along North Lake Shore Drive Monday afternoon, and flooded basements were common in the : northern and northwest suburbs. Other heavy rains hit Kansas. lowa, Indiana and southern Michigan. Chanute, Kan., and Lafayette, Ind., reported some 3 inches , of rain, and tornado funnel clouds were sighted in the vicinity of ’ Lamoni, lowa, but no damage was reported Light showers spread across the Ohio Valley into southern New England during the night, and weathermen predicted scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms throughout the east. \ Eastern Temperatures Drop Cooler air accompanying the • rain was expected to hold tem--1 peratures to the 80s in the Northeast today. The record heat Mon- - day prompted many plants to close early and send workers home. • The rain, although not heavy, brought some relief to droughtstricken areas in the East. The New Jersey Agriculture Department said a drought in that state, intensified by the heat wave, has caused crop damages of 10 million dollars. The state’s

State farm experts said the situation could become severe unless there is a general rain before the end of the week. Care In Handling Animals Urged In Farm Safety Week ’‘Handle with Care." That’s the way to treat livestock to reduce the number of injuries and deaths they cause of farm residents. Leo N. Seltenright. county agricultural agent, said today. Seltenright issued that advice on the third day of farm safety week, which places emphasis on livestock safety. At least 10 Indiana residents lose their lives each year as a result of injury from farm animals. Countless others are injured less lyFewer horses and bulls have helped decrease livestock accidents. Seltenright believes farm folks can help reduce the toll further by ot> serving these safe practices: Don’t suprise animals when approaching them. Have; cattle dehorned and boars’ tusks cut short Keep small children away from pens and barns, r Keep bulls in ‘Safe pen. Take special care in handling animals with new-born. 20 Years Ago Today • —: July 23, 1937 — Miss Dorothy Dilling returns from an eight thousand mile motor trip through the west.

Sheppard Case Witness Calls Florida Sheriff Say Widely Sought ( Missing Witness Called From lowa DE LAND, Fa. (UP)—A sheriffs deputy said today that a widely sought “missing witness” in the Sheppard murder case telephoned to Florida early today from Waterloo, lowa. The call came as Cleveland Ohio, authorities began griling bushy-haired Donald Joseph Wedler, 23, here about his "confession” in the 1954 murder oi Marilyn Sheppard. Sheriff Rodney Thursby said the call came during the night. He said it was taken by a Daytona Beach deputy and the caller identified himsef as Merchant Seaman Ernest James Kolofolias, Long Beach, Calif. Kolofolias told investigators inf Cleveland some time ago that he was picked up by a man there who acted nervous and bore stains that might have been bood. It was about the time the wife of Dr. Samuel Sheppard, Cleveland osteopath, was slain. Sheppard is serving a life sentance in the crime. —i In Coumbus, Ohio, meanwhile, mystery writer Erie Stanley Gardner, active in the Sheppard case in an unofficial capacity, said he has a “very important new clue” in the case. He refused to give details. Await Another' Call Gardner and his associates have been in De Land where they said after a test on Wedler that he was telling the truth apparently when he said he probably killed Marilyn Sheppard during a robbery attempt. Thursby said he did not personally take the call from Waterloo and that he was now awaiting fur- ' ther word from the caller. By midmorning nothing further had been heard, however. Thursby said he earned that the caller tried to reach him in several Volusia County law agencies but never reached him. "We’re just sitting now. hoping he'll call back,” Thursby said. “We don’t know whether the caller is really the missing witness or not, but we want to talk to him.” A deputy at Daytona Beach finally took the telephone call and reported to Thursby that the caller had an "urgent message'’ for the sheriff regarding the Sheppard case. He identified himself as Kolofolias. Gardner’s so-called "Court of Last Resort” had planned to give Dr. Sam a lie detector test in Ohio Penitentiary here, but Gov. C. William O’Neill, who had authorized it, ordered it postponed until he is convinced that Wedler’s story is true. —, - Study Conflicting Points Gardner insisted when he arrived in Ohio Monday night that the investigation would go on. But after talking the matter over with his associates he said "we may and we may not investigate ” “In plain English,” he said, “we arc going to get the hell out of here and we are not coming back unless wc are invited concerning some future lie detector test, or unless reader pressure is so great we have to come back to investigate.” Kolofolias was supposed to have been hitch hiking in Cleveland on the fateful day of Marilyn's death. At the time Sheppard was convicted for his pregnant wife’s death, no other suspect who might have been the motorist could be found to confront Kolofolias. There was the possibility that the merchant seaman might identify Wedler as having been in the Cleveland area. James McArthur, retired chief of the Cleveland homicide squad, who directed the Sheppard murder investigation, promised a thorough study of points of conflict between Wedler’s story and the way police believe the murder was committed One at the major discrepancies is Wedler's version of toe attack itself. He said he killed Mrs. Sheppard with "two or three blows” of an L-shaped pipe. Police said Mrs. Sheppard was murdered with 30 or 40 blows of a sharp instrument.
