ALPS HEAT WAVE
IS MOST SEVERE
IN NINETY YEARS
(By The Ass. ciated Press.)

Genoa, May 24.--The heat wave
in the Alps region has broken a
ninety-year record for the month
of May, the thermometer at a
number of points today registering
80 degrees fahrenheit. Snow, and
glaciers are melting rapidly and the
Rhine and Rhone rivers are rising.
An avalanche released by the
heat destroyed an Alpine club house
on the summit Of Mount Gerginko-
gel, 1000 feet above sea level.
Paris, May "a (by the Associated
Press. Paris today experienced
the hottest May day in 116 years
the thermometer hitting 94.1 de-
grees Fahrenheit in the shade at
3:45 o'clock this afternoon. The
city was one Of many European
capitals to experience O. similar
heat wave that began sweeping
western Europe five days ago.
The heat here generated a Pc
culiar stiffling haze although the
sky was blue throughout France.
The weather bureau predicts con-
tinued heat with possibly an even
higher temperature tomorrow.
The usually crowded streets were
thinly populated at noon today and
there were noticeably few women
on the boulevards. Tho cafes and
beer gardens, however, did land
office business.

NEED MORE: RAIN
IN THE WESTERN
STATES, REPORT
tBy The Associated Press

Washington, May 24.-Normal
temperatures almost everywhere
except in the south did much DUR
ing the week ending yesterday. To
aid the farmers, the weather bll-
reau reported today in its weekly
weather and crop review. Growth
Of vegetation was hindered some
what in western states by insuffi-
Gent rain.
Conditions are reported to the
bureau as favoring a continuation
of the satisfactory growth made
during recent weeks by winter
wheat. Rain was still needed az
the close of the week in Iowa while
the crop was described as becom-
ing weedy in western Kanas, and
stands were thin in many fields in
Nebraska. Cool and cloudy wealth.
err in the spring wheat belt was
favorable for that crop, the review
said. adding that considerable inn
provement was reported from
South Dakota as a result OF addi-
tional rains and termination was
satisfactory in Montana.
The oats crop, which generally is
backward in the interior valley
states due to delayed sowing, i'm
proved during the week.
Corn was reported as having
terminated rather poorly in the
upper Mississippi valley. but in
most other sections the early plant
is coming up to a good stand.

10 PER CENT SLASH
IN FREIGHT RATES TO
Be MADE ON JULY 1ST
CONTINUED from Page One.l

~ SAs SASN SNN'S
20 per cent instead of the 80 1-5 per
cent so authorized"
Commissioner Potter, in a. con-
curing decision pointed out that
the percentage reductions SO de-
fined are "in effect-a requirement
that present rates and charges
shall, generally speaking, be re-
duced ten per cent"
Arguments Reviewed.
The commission, after reviewing
the arguments for and against rate
reductions as made before it by
shippers, railroads and representa-
tives of geographical areas of the
country, declared that as rates had
been pushed up by horizontal per-
centage increases, a similar pro-
cess should be followed in bringing
them down, ito meet lowered eX-
penses of operation"
This conceded with the argu-
ments which President Harding adj
vanced before railroad executives
at a dinner conference last week,
in favor of rate reductions affect
ing sharply basic commodities, but
leaving untouched eAlsllnS RATES
on high priced finished commodi-
ties which generally take class
rates.
NcChord Disscnts.
1t was chiefly on this point that
and dissenting opin-
ions were filed. Chairman Me-
Chord and Commissioner Lewis
and Cox advocated sharper com
modify reductions, rather than the
horizontal fashion cuts decided tip
on by the majority. Mr.. McChord
likewise dissented to the SIS per
cent fair return provision, while
Porter suggested al
50 reductions in passenger rates.
Stability Is Desirable.
Practically all agreed that sta
bility of freight rates is highly de-
sirable," the majority opinion de-
cIared, land that normal traffic
may not we'll be expected until the
present widespread expectations of
rate reductions is realized or dis
PEELED. To assume that rates can
Or should be stabilized on the pres
emit high basis is futile"
