Jurisdictional Dispute and Stiffened Company Stand Add Complications.
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 8.—A strike of 200,000 men is planned by the C. I. O.-United Auto Workers Union unless it gets a satisfactory settlement with General Motors of its current strike of 4000 key tool and die makers. The showdown is not expected for a week or two.

Drought Is Feared By New England Farmers.
KANSAS HOTTEST
Temperature Drop Is Expected to Be Temporary.
By UNITED PRESS
“Cooling breezes and scattered thundershowers brought temporary relief from the summer's severest heat wave to Midwestern states to day but with the prospect of soars ing temperatures in another 36 to 48 hours. There was no immediate relief in sight for the South, Southwest and East, sweltering under temper« atures in the 90's. New England, where 30 deaths from drownings and prostrations have heen attributed to a four-day heat wave, expected some relief in local thundershowers by tomorrow night, Eight Midwestern states counted 23 dead. They included five each in Towa and Wisconsin, three each in Illinois and Michigan, two each in Minnesota, Kansas and Missouri, and one in Indiana.
Breeze Brings Relief
Temperatures began dropping in northern Minnesota, North Dakota and Upper Michigan today as tha cooling mass moved southeastward, Forecaster J. R. Lloyd at Chicago said the breezes would carry relief to Illinois, Indiana, eastern and southern Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas by tomorrow, but would be followed by rising temperatures immediately. He forecast generally fair weather tonight and tomorrow with the ex ception of local thundershowers in the Ohio Valley. Drought conditions in New Eng= land were approaching the danget point and farmers feared heavy losses to their crops. The temperature climbed into the high 90s at Boston yesterday and midday mail delivered were canceled to guard against collapse of carriers. A soothing mass of cool air from the Pacific Northwest tumbled temperatures in Kansas, yesterday the hottest state in the country.

District Attorney’s office here said they knew nothing of the investigation. District Attorney Val Nolan is on his way home now from a trip to Veneguela. The procedure, it was learned, will, be for the WPA officials in Washington to transfer the report to Attorney General Murphy who then will relay it to Mr. Nolan.
