Temperatures Creep Higher Over State By United Press International Temperatures crept upward toward the 90s again in Indiana today in a renewal of a wave of warm weather which has scarcely been dented during the past month. The arm spell reached its peak Saturday when Evansville recorded a blistering 99, Cincinnati 98, Louisville 95, Indianapolis 94 and Lafayette 90. The Indianapolis mark was the hottest recorded this year in the Hoosier capital. Evhnsville’s maximum also was a season record. Sunday was a little cooler, but ever at that it was 91 at Evansville while other areas found readings in the low and mid 80s more bearable in view of a drop in the humidity. Highs from the mid 80s to the low 90s will be chalked up today, lows from 65 to the low 70s tonight, and highs from the upper 80s to near 90 Tuesday. ' Meanwhile, more scattered thundershower activity was expected through Tuesday. During the 24hour period ending at 7 a.m. Sunday, a South Central Indiana area got more than an inch of rain in a series of storms. Precipitation totals included Bloomington 1.43, Columbus 1.48, Bedford 1.15, Newberry 1.19, Elliston 1.09, Spencer .85, Seymour .80, and Shoals .22. Upstate, South Bend received .14 and Lafayette .02. Saturday’s high temperatures were followed by a cooler night except in the far south, where Louisville sweltered in an overnight low of 76, Evansville 75 and Cincinnati 72. But it was 59 at Lafayette, 61 at Fort Wayne, and 63 at Indianapolis and South Bend. Overnight lows this morning ranged from 56 at Cincinnati and 58 at Indianapolis and Fort Wayne to 64 at Evansville and 65 at Louisville. Five-day forecasts called for near normal temperature averages and little change from day to day over the state except the northern third where averaging will be about 3 degrees above normal and a little cooler weather may develop late Wednesday and Thursday. Precipitation during the five days will total one-fourth to onehalf inch in showers tonight and Tuesday and again about Friday. 69" Passengers Back From New York Tour The 69 passengers of the Decatur Daily Democrat-Erie-Lackawana railroad bargain weekend tour to New York city arrived safely back in Decatur this noon, and the train was only 15 minutes late, W.E.

Spectator Killed At Dragster Track GARY, Ind. (UPD— About 2,000 horrified race fans Sunday watched a dragster charge through flimsy retaining cables, spewing flames around 11 spectators, one of whom was burned alive, at a track near here. The victim was Louis Sanmartin, 21, Park Forest, 111. He was pinned between the racer and a pickup truck. The driver, John Montegerard, 23, a Lansing, 111., mechanic, was not injured. He said he had pushed the car, which he built about one year ago, to about 50 miles per hour when the clutch blew up and the car swerved off the track and into the crowd. The speedy car cartwheeled into a parked pickup truck where the victim was standing and burst intoi flames. Two of the injured fans were reported in critical condition. They were James Tribble of Portage, the only one not from Illinois, and Bob Bouillion. Hospital officials: were not certain of Boulllion’s address. All the injured were taken to Porter Memorial Hospital in Valparaiso. Three were released soon after and the remaining five were reported in fair condition, State police, who investigated the accident at the U.S. 30 Dragway, said retaining cables strung along the track to protect spectators, would not have, held anything at any speed. Dragsters often reach speeds well in excess of 100 mph. The drag strip * which draws thousands of fans every weekend from Chicago and surrounding areas, is located three miles south of Gary in Lake County.
