standing at n degrees at 8
o'clock.
During the storm a bolt Of
lightning struck Police Headquar-

The extreme heat Of yesterday
did considerable damage through
out the city, causing streets and
sidewalks to buckle, and forcing
street car rails in to the point that
traffic was delayed while repair
crews put the rails back in place.
While the official high for the

Heat Stops Traffic
When Bridge Draws
Expand Over Limit

NEW YORK, July 11.-Three
bridges over the Hudson were
closed to traffic when the intense
heat caused the draws to expand
beyond the limit allowed in con.
struction so that they could not
be shut.
The three bridges affected were
the Madison Avenue bridge, the
One Hundred and Forty.fifth
Street bridge and the McCombs
Dam bridge. AL were operating at
capacity with the traffic to the
Yankee Stadium when they
opened for tug and failed to
close again because the draws were
too long to swing back into place.

They were Bryan Weeks, editor

ing food supplies under the AAA.

In turn, they said, Midwest
farmers will square accounts with
the Roosevelt administration by
voting for Governor Landon for
President.
Former Governor Frank o.

predicted Landon would carry
the farm belt.
Weeks and Moody visited the
Republican nominee while Kansas
was Sweltering under its twen-

100-degree heat. After their con-
ference, Weeks said:
