BY the Associated Press
SHANGHAI, July 28.-Foreigners
fed aboard American, British and Jap

of Honan Province, today as a Com

Reds are reported to have looted and
burned a portion of Changsha.
Only few foreigners, including
three American missionaries, refused to
leave. Lying in the Slang River, the
foreign gunboats offered a refuge to
their nationals as the Reds swept into
the walled city of half million popu-
lation.
A widespread outbreak of Communist
activities in Northern and Eastern Human

Yesterday Was First Time in
History of Bureau Tempera-
ture Did Not Go Below 81.
The Weather Bureaus official
day-by-day 'high-low" record
since the heat wave descended
upon Washington Saturday, July
10 follows.

Definite assurances were given at the
United States Weather Bureau today
that the extreme heat wave in which
Washington has sweltered for nine days
will be effectively broken by tomorrow
evening. With possible local showers
scheduled then, the weather will cool
off over the entire Eastern area. it was
said, followed by still cooler tempera-
lures the next day.
THE heat wave will be more effec-
lively broken in the next two days than
the drought" official forecasters ex-
planned It was stated that the pros
poets are not good for any general rains
and sections will have to depend upon
uncertain local showers for whatever
relief they might obtain from the
drought that has affected the country
generally West of the Mississippi River.
Minimum Is Highest.
There will be two more days of
unusually warm weather, including to-
day, before the heat wave will end" it
was stated at the Weather Bureau.
THE maximum this afternoon will be
about SO degrees or shade over, with
about the same temperature tomorrow.
BY Wednesday morning, it will return
to normal July temperatures which will
seem much cooler than it actually is on
account of the extreme heat that has
gone before"
Yesterdays minimum temperature of
81 degrees, it was reported, is the high
est minimum ever recorded in the Dis
trict of Columbia since official records
have been kept. This unusual situation,
it was explained, was caused by the
cloudiness of last night which acted as
a blanket to keep the heat from escap-
ing. This is the first time since 1876,
when the records were first kept. that
the mercury failed at some time during
the "a hours to fall below 81 degrees.
In 1876, the records show, there was a
minimum of 80 degrees which had stood
all these years until yesterday.
The Weather Bureaus prediction that
the end of the drought is not yet i'll
sight, it was believed, will go hard on
the water supply of the metropolitan
areas of Montgomery and Prince Georges

Five alarms, sounded in quick sue

to the scene. A brisk wind famed the
flames from the burning building toward
several others in the row.
Residents of the District, fearing
their homes would be destroyed, packed
their belongings and evacuated.
Blasts shook the burning building
every two or three minutes, as the
flames ran from one barrel of the highly
inf1ammable alcohoi, paint solvents and
other chemicals to another. Concrete
walls of the building broke the force OF
the explosions.
Firemen for time were unable to
enter the burning structure, but a check
showed that all 10 employees in the
place were accounted for. Their first
warning was an explosion, they said.
Whether the fire started from an
explosion or fire started the explosions
was not determined. Within a few
minutes after the first blast, the roof
of the building was in flames, sparks
dropping on other buildings and in
grass, dried from days of lack of rain,
threatening other fires.
