(By United Press) Traffic on highways, boosted

by pleasant temperatures that ended a long heat wave, took a moderately heavy toll of lives , in Indiana during the week-end, police records showed today.

At least seven persons were I

killed, three by trains and three

in vehicular collisions and one a pedestrian hit by an auto. Two

of the accidents resulted in double fatalities. Three of the victims were from Illinois. Near Columbus, Gwinn Wooteii, age 28, and his two-year-old daughter, Brenda Louise, were killed when Wooten, a Columbus city employe, drove a small truck into the path of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at a private crossing yesterday. Mrs. Anna Dittrich, age 45, and her son, John, age 21, DeKalb, 111., were killed Saturday when their automobile and a truck pnl-

lided at the intersection of U. S. 6 and Ind. 35 near LaPorte. Two

was stopping the spread of the

disease. He also said he would

have to wait a few days to see

whether the short rise in 48

hours was significant.

However, past history of nolio

indicates it wanes when the

weather moderates from summer heat waves. It also appeared to be significant that the comparatively small number of cases in 48 hours was quite a departure from a couple of days last week when 17 cases were reported in

one 24 hour period and 13 in another. Jay Hit Hard Among the new cases were six in the three counties harest hit. Jay added two, making its confirmed case total 46 and its combined total of confirmed and suspected cases near 60. Randolph added three and Delaware one, raising the total for each county to 29. Blackford added two cases for a total of four and one new case was reported in Vanderburgh. Delaware and" Jay Counties started the new week after One

Rate Of Increase In Polio Cases Slowing Down INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 1 (U.R)

Public health officials declin

ed today to make optimistic statements on the basis of the

weekend figures which seemed to indicate the rate of rise in the number of polio cases was slowing 'down in Indiana. Only nine new cases were reported to the State Health Board today for the 48 hour period that elapsed after the Board's offices closed last Saturday. There have been no deaths since last Friday, when four occurred within

a few hours. Death Toll 25 This raised the total to 242 cases since Jan. 1. and the death

toll remained at 25, the same fig-

res as more than 60 hours ago. Dr. W. C. Anderson, epidemiologist for the Health Board, said it was too early to tell if cool weather of the last three days

RELAX SIEGE

OF U. S. CONSULATE SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 1. (UP) Disgruntled Chinese formerly employed by the U. S. Navy relaxed their siege of the American consulate today but did not abandon t completely. A handful of Chinese still remained on a sitdown picket line at the entrance to the consulate. However, a majority of the 60 exemployes who seized the building last Friday withdrew last night on condition that talks would be held to arbitrate their demand for bonus pay.

GARY, Ind., Aug. 1 (UP) Gary's militant' housewives announced triumphantly today that their anti-vice crusade closed the , steel city "tighter than a

drum."

Leaders of the Women Citi

zen Committee said the house

wives' picketing of bawdy houses and gambling joints has forced operators of play spots to cease operations. . Mrs. Russell Griffith, temporary chairman, said two men volunteers checked 18 brothels and pambling places Saturday night. All were closed. "I went out yesterday morning and I found the same thing," Mrs. Griffith said. A United Press reporter who toured .the town Saturday night, when the city usually is at its lustiest, found legitimate taverns

and dancehalls doing a normal business in the downtown areas. But the backstreets and the

Washington Street red' light dis

trict were strangely quiet. A saloonkeeper waved away prospective gamblers with a whispered warning that "this town is closed down tight." A flashily-dressed gambler said card games, craps, chuck-a-luck and other table gambling had been shoved out of business, at least temporarily, by the campaign of the housewives. J "It's all you can do to get a cpuple bucks down on the horses," he Said. The Washington Street brothels, housed on the second floors of dingy frame buildings, were out of business. At cne place over a dimlylighted saloon, a' girl looked outi

the window briefly when a pros

pective customer knocked. She shook her head, then let the curtain fall back into place. Mrs. Griffith said the housewives would not relax their vigilance against vice. She said they would be ready - to return to picketing duty "on a moment's notice."
