west farm and range cattle, starving
in barren pastures, we're completed
swiftly today by federal authorities

fourth day of a record heat wave
Across the northern tier of states,
from the Great Lakes to the Paci-
fic coast, the sun rose in almost
cloudless skies today.
Weather bureau forecasters pre-
dicted no consequential rain for %
hours. There was possibility, how
ever, that regions which scorched
yesterday in 100-degree plus tenn
peratures might find slight relief.
The wave of terrific heat cApan6-
ed to include southern and eastern
states. At Baltimore 1,0n0 persons
collapsed in Baltimore stadium

the 300th anniversary of the landing
of the Maryland pilgrims.

SHOWING GREAT VITALITY

SAN JOSE, Calf, May 81. U.n)-
An amazing turn for the better in
the condition of Governor James
Rolph, Jr., desperately i'll at a
Santa Clara ranch, was noted to-
day by DR.. j. M. Scanland, one of
his physicians.
DR.. Scanland said the governor IS
great vitality and will to live might
possibly carry him to recovery from
the complication of diseases which
five doctors previously said would
cause death within few hours.
1.-THE change really was amaz-
ing" said DR.. Scanland. 81
would not be greatly surprised if
the governor managed to recover
from the present attack, although
he never will be a we'll man again.
1.-The governor took more nour-
ishment today than at any time
this week, drinking some orange
Juice, two egg nogs and little di-
luted milk. He was awake when
I entered the sick room and seized
both my hands. He wanted to
talk, but I told him he must not
because 1t would weaken him. -
HE knew me the minute en-
tered the room,' said DR.. j. M.
Toner, state director of institutions,
who accompanied DR.. Scanland to
the Linforth ranch house. "He
asked me how I was and he wanted
to talk about state business. I
avoided any unnecessary conversa-
tion.'
Both physicians stressed, how
ever, that the governor IS improved
condition may be only temporary
and that his death might occur at
any time.
DR.. Scanland said pulmonary
congestion was not spreading and
that kidney condition was clear
ing up. He revealed for the first
time, however, that Governor Rolph
has hardening of the arteries.
Mrs. Rolph and her son, James
III, were greatly relieved and left
the ranch house for the first time
since they took up the bedside vigil
about a week ago. They went for
a walk through the picturesque
grounds of the Linforth ranch.
SAN JOSE, Calf, May 81. tU.P)-
Governor James Rolph, Jr. held on
to a slender thread of life to-day in
a rambling ranch house IN the
peaceful Santa Clara valley.
Semi -comatose most of the time,
tossing in restless sleep indeed by
sedatives, the 64-year-old executive
showed remarkable vitality and
strength in prolonging his losing
battle with death.
A corps of physicians, in constant
attendance, had little hope Rolph
can live much longer. They were
amazed as Rolph rallied from per-
iods of unconsciousness with new
strength. He appeared to be holding
his own in the grim battle.
But DR.. j. M. Scanland said death
was only a matter of time. ";t may
be minutes, hours, or even days"
Scanland said.
A handful of peopln---doctors
nurses, members of the family and
ntimates-watched and waited at
the ranch house to which the COVER
nor had gone after collapsing, for
the third time in year, at his desk.
At times he appeared to rally.
Once. he slipped egg nog and mur-
INJURED, "Ah, that is goodW but he

which he aroused in but momen-
