HEAT WAVE IS BROKEN: FOOD PRICES CLIMB Worst Drought in History Sends Meat. Vegetable Costs Soaring. By l *!>•/ f CHICAGO, Aug. 14—Finish *a* written behind the century s mo6t damaging heat wave today as government weather forecasters predicted that for at least twenty-four hours, the second such period in two months, the mercury would not touch 100 degrees anywhere in Lae middle west. Rains which fell over fifteen states during the week-end were supplemented today by widespread showers and more precipitation was forecast in Missouri. lowa, Nebraska. Minnesota and the Dakotas. Temperatures fell as low as 74 in Kansas City, where last week the mercury repeatedly touched 110 degrees; 69 in Chicago. 67 in Green Bar. Wis. and 78 in Peoria, 111., where three times in the last six davs the all-time heat record was broken. Wichita, Oklahoma City, Dodge City and other centers of the worst of the heat expected temperatures high m the nineties today but the maximums predicted were far below those of Friday and Saturday. Food Supplies Studied With the return of seasonable temperatures and a prospective end to the most disastrous drought in weather bureau history, market experts took an alarming inventory of food supplies for the coming winter. Hog prices in the principal terminals of the nation are at the highest peak in more than two years, but agricultural experts predicted higher meat pnces to come. Best quality hogs at Chicago today brought $565 per hundredweight. the highest price since October, 1931. Outside markets stood correspondmgly higher. Farmers, the while, beamed on prices they considered at a ‘cost of production' level, promised by the agricultural adjustment administration at the beginning of the hog-slaughter program last fall. Brisk Demand Reported During the last fortnight, a brisk demand prevailed for all pork products. Authorities at the Chicago stockyards, world's largest livestock trading center, said the improved prices partly were the result of the slaughter program. The animals destroyed last fall now would be ready for market, they said. Other factors were prominent. Drought, which reduced grain yields sharply and thereby brought a feed shortage, now is forcing animals on to the market at premature weights; farmers can not allord to fatten their stock on 80 cents a bushel corn. The government and nature have co-operated in wholesale reduction, of the livestock population, authorities pointed out. If the buying power of the consumer permits, the scarcity will force the price trend upward. Potato Crop Small The potato crop is the smallest in many years and prices already are at a high level, with indications they will move higher. All products of the truck farm—peas, beans, tomatoes, spinach, celery—were produced with difficulty in drought areas where the baked soil gave up a pitifully small yield. FYuit, ravaged by intense heat and insects, was scarcer than in years. Housewives took no chances. Grocers revealed they were filling many case orders for canned goods TRUCK UNION CHIEFS REFUSE PEACE OFFER Re-Employment of Strikers Is Demanded at Minneapolis. Bv Peers MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 14.—Hope for an early end of a month-old strike of 6.000 truck drivers was exploded today by refusal of union leaders to reconsider a compromise peace plan rejected last night by the strike committee of 100. The union action returned the dispute between the union and 166 employers to virtually the stage reached three weeks ago. The point in dispute is re-employment of men who struck in a demand that the truck drivers' union be permitted to represent ' inside'' workers of twen-ty-two produce firms.

tacular delivery by two men who spirited them away in an automobile. They were William Perkins, wanted for murder and bank robbery at Houston. Mo., whose left leg was shattered by gunfire, and Paul Mills, held for automobile theft, suffering from three bullet wounds, one under the heart, another through the side, and a third in the abdomen. “It was a very well-planned delivery.” a deputy sheriff said, “but it is inconceivable that they can get far.
