Northern Midwest Siates Have Some Cold Air.
 Other Areas SWeIter
(By The Associated Press)

An induction of cold air from Canada held some promise today of breaking up the three-day soaring heat wave over the north ern midwest states.
 The Chicago weather bureau said the Dakotas already had receiv- ed some relief from yesterdays high readings of 100 degrees or more and that Western Minnesota could expect at least moderately lowering temperatures late this af- ternoon or tonight.
 Elsewhere, however, the weather generally would be continuation of the past two or three days with the southerly flow of hot air pre- vailing for at least another "A hours. Temperatures in Michi- gan today were expected to climb above the highs of yesterday when Grand Rapids reported maximum of 94, Detroit 89, and Saulte Ste. Marie 87.
 Temperatures ranging from the high sos at many points to III degrees at Philips, s. D., yesterday Laked the already dry topsoil and brought reports from some sections that the corn crop was firing.
 Pierre, s. D. had high of 110 degrees, and readings of 105 were reported at such widespread points as Velantine. Neb., Fargo, N. D., and Advance, Mo.
 Most of the rest. of the nation, except the Coast and Rockies, con- tinued to swelter today after many sections reported high sos and 100 or more Monday, with little re- lief in immediate sight.
 Atlanta, Ga, and Meridian, Miss, reported 100, Chattanooga, Tenn, 1C5; Little Rock, Ark. 102; Mem phis, Tenn, 103; Vicksburg, Miss, 99 and Montgomery 98 in the south.

DOOM FORCED BACK FROM. WORLD TRIP
AiIerons damned on Flight He Returns-0 of Again
 Maybe tomorrow

CHICAGO, Aug. William (BilD Odom, who took off on pro jected around d-the-world solo speed flight yesterday, was back on his home airport today after having flown approximately one-sixth of the intended mileage.
 Shortly after passing over Hali- fax, Nova Scotia, in his 4,000-horse power, twin-engined plane, the former British Ferry Command pi- lot said his ailerons jammed and he was forced to turn back.
 He landed on the Chicago airport at 11:55 Central Daylight Time last night, 9 hours and 24 minutes af- ter the take-off. He said he pro- bably would leave again tomorrow in another attempt to halve the round -the-world solo record of 186 hours set by the late Wiley Post in the famed single-engined Win nie Mae" monoplane in 1883.
 The 27-year-old pilot said he Nad covered about one-sixth of the pro- jected flight, or more than 5000 miles of his l9,600-mile route in the trip to Nova Scotia and back.
 Although his take-off at 2::3l.50 D. m yesterday appeared to ob- servers on the airport to be smooth and easy, he reported upon his re- turn that T very nearly cracked up." He said that the heavy load of 2,460 gallons of gasoline disturbed the stability of the converted A-26 army bomber as he lifted it into the air.
 On his next attempt, he said, he would carry lighter fuel load and make his first stop at Gander, instead of Paris.

ARRE5T5 OF JEWS FAIL TO END VIOLENCE
British Policeman Killed in Bomb Blasted BuiIdinq
 in Jerusalem

JERUSALEM. Aug. 5.--tR-- The British arrested the mayors of the Jewish towns of Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Natanya and Petah Tiqva, and jailed dozens of other Jewish political leaders in dawn raids described. officially as part of the campaign against terrorism" But violence continued.
 A labor department building in the Street of the Prophets was blasted by bomb which killed a British policeman trying to re- move the explosive. Two others were trapped in the debris, from which arose mushrooming smoke cloud.
 British troops investigated an Arab report that six armed Jews had taken a Briton into an orange grove in the Tel Aviy area. An- other unconfirmed report asserted that five British soldiers and their army vehicle were missing in the same area.
 The arrest came after two weeks of Jewish underground violence in Palestine during which two young British Army sergeants were hang ed and strangled to death on small trees near Natanya.

AIR.FREIGHT
 LINE TO FLY

Totem Air Service Indugur- : dfes Southeast Alaska
 Flights from Seattle

SEATTLE, Aug. 5.-tR-Using in- genuity and a war-surplus flying boat, three Seattle men this week will start a new air service from Seattle to the "airportless" mari- time region of Southeast Alaska.
 II the idea pans" out, it will bring heavy air freight and passen- ger service to Alaskan coastal vil- lages that have never seen any, thing larger than small pontoon planes, F. A. Davis, one of the hackers of the venture, said today
 The present air freight lines are by-passing this area because there are practically no airports there, Davis pointed out. That's where we come in We don't need an airport-we taxi right up to the beach,"
 Backers of the venture are Davis, who will handle the business end; his brother, Newell Davis, who will be in charge of maintenance; and Wayne Campbell, chief pilot The firm is known as Totem Air Ser vice, Inc.
 szheif- aircraft, specially-con- xerted PBY5A, they bought from surplus Coast Guard stocks. Davis was major in the army at An chorage, his brother was in the Marine Corps, and Campbell is former Navy pilot.
 The new airline will service Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, Ketchikan, Juneau and smaller towns. The company will be able to fly can- nery workers direct to their destin- ations, Davis points out.
 Later, the company plans to make charter runs on special hunt ing and fishing trips to Alaska. It will make it's first trip North on Thursday, Davis said.

No Settlement Reaehed in Dispufe-L e-Longshoremen
 Make Statement

The port of Juneau is tied up by strike of Local l-l6, Inter- national Longshoremen and Ware housemen's Union.
 Deadline for a settlement of the prevailing dispute had been set by the union for noon today: and when 12 o'clock was reached, the men left work and the strike was on. Slipping under the headline today by a few hours, the North land Transportation Companys freighter Lucidor arrived in Ju- neau at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
 She unloaded cold storage sup plies, few automobiles, and what other cargo could be got off before noon, and sailed at o'clock, talk ing with her the remainder of some 300 tons of cargo destined for here.
 Alaska Steamship Company has the Baranof due in at 6.30 D. m. today, but it is believed she has no freight for Juneau. The long, shoremen, through Secretary Alex Laiti, have definitely stated that they will handle mail. baggage and ships stores on the Baranof or any other American vessel. Laiti also stated today, "Canad- ian ships can bring in anything" as the Canadian Pacific vessels do not come under the contract now in dispute.
 Contract negotiations have been going on for some time between the ILWU and the three Seattle steamship. lines, Alaska Steamship Company, Northland Transporta- tion Company, and Alaska Trans portation Company.
 Agreement has been reached on all contract provisions except one. which would absolve the ILWU or it's officials from any liability in case of a strike. This para graph, which the ILWU is insisting upon, the steamship companies will not accept.

Tremendous kenai Holocaust
 Caused Heavy Wi|d|ife Loss
 Says James After Inspection
By VERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON. Aug 5-iR-Mil- ton c. James, Assistant Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service said today the big fish news from Alaska is the rather good" Bristol Bay salmon pack-1 100000 cases, almost double last years catch.
 James, back from a tour of AL askan fisheries. expressed concern at the destruction wrought by forest fires along a 70-mile front on the Kenai Peninsula, in the heart of AL aska's big game country.
 "The fires destroyed hunderds of thousands of acres of timber. and threw up smoke so thick as to halt airplane operations in the Anchor age area" James told reporter.
 We are particularly concerned over the effect upon game animals. particularly moose. We have men in, the area, checking the results of the tremendous holocaust Until we have their reports, we can make no estimate of the wildlife loss"
 James said the large Bristol Bay catch reflected large escapement resulting from the suspension of northern Alaska fishing in 1922, after the outbreak of war The red or sockeye salmon has a five-year life cycle.
 By contrast. the pink salmon of Southeast Alaska has a two-yeai cycle. Furthermore, Southeast Al aska fisheries continued to operate during the war even after northern fisheries were cut off.
 "The Southeast Alaska run had barely started when I left" James said.
 Tt presented a varying picture from fairly good to fair prospects.
 All in all there is every likeli- hood for total salmon pack for Alaska materially larger than last year but perhaps not greater than the 10-year average.
 James devoted most of his Alaskan tour to the Anchorage. Kodiak and Bristol Bay areas. The agency has seven planes and IA patrol boats in Territorial waters, he said. and re- gently expanded it's inter district radio communications.

TESTIMONY GIVEN BY
 ROOSEVELT
Denies White Houee InfIu. ence Obtained Plane
 Contracts for Hughes

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.--R-E- liott Roosevelt said today that Gen. Barney Giles, Deputy Air Corps chief, wrote him during the war, labelling as ridiculous" charges that White House influence obtain ed plane contracts for Howard Hughes.
 Previously, the tall son of the late President had asserted from the witness stand that his involv- ment in a Senatorial investigation of Hughes contracts is directed at "smearing" his fathers name.
 In earlier testimony to the Sem ate War Investigating Committee Roosevelt had acknowledged that Howard Hughes had paid $576.8a hotel bill for him in December 1944, and Jack Frye. then head of Trans-World Airlines which is con- trolled by Hughes, paid one of S850.
 It was in that month that Roosevelt and actress Faye Emer- son were married Roosevelt said the hotel bills were paid as wed- ding presents.
 T believe on a strict interpre- tation of the law, I might be repri- manded for accepting wedding gift from Howard Hughes young Roosevelt told the committee.
 The committee is inquiring into the wartime award of $40,0o0, 900 in plane contracts to Hughes and the part a recommendation from Roosevelt played in the ward of one $22 ,000, ,000 contract.
 Before the wedding gift was brought up, Roosevelt had:
 l. Challenged John Meyer, pub lioity man for Hughes. to say that Meyer had ever procured" any party girls for him. Expense ac- counts of Meyer, introduced in evil dence, list payments to girls for entertaining army officers, gov- ernment officials and others.
 2. Declared he knew nothing of gift of nylon stockings by Meyer to actress Faye Emerson, the pres ent Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt.
 He accused the Republican Sena- tors on tEe committee of singling him out for inquiry because he is son of the late President Roose- welt.

The W ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

{ WASHINGTON After the smoke of congressional battle cleared, thousands of stunned vet erans searched the headlines for word of an expected increase in students subsistence, on-the-job training pay, plus promised auto mobiles for the blind and ampu- tees. Both bills had passed the Senate by unanimous vote, had been hurriedly showed through the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
 However, nothing happened. The bills never passed.
 Inside story is that COP bosses in the House quietly turned thumbs down on the veterans legislation. Strategy was plotted at secret meeting of the Republican Steering Committee, where Indiana's s Major ity Leader Charlie Halleck argued that the Republican party which had promised more economy than it had been. able to legislate, could not afford any more veterans bene- fits-at least not this year.
 This caused a vigorous clash in- side Republican ranks.
 Rules Chairman Leo Allen ohed- -iently refused to grant necessary rules to permit a vote on the vet erans' bills. But Massachusetts motherly Edith Nourse Rogers, the chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, also Republican, re- fused to be bullied. For three days she struggled to force the bills before the House. Stubbornly she jumped to her feet at every op- portunity, demanding unanimous consent to proceed But Speaker Joe Martin shrugged her aside.
 Finally Mrs. Rogers buttonholed both Martin and Halleck in pri- vate, trying every means of persua- sion But it was no go. Slumping into a chair in the cloakroom. she muttered bitterly.
 T don't know what to do. They don't give excuses They just get angry"
 SLAPPING THE SPEAKER
 On the eve of the last session, the lady from Massachusetts made a last desperate plea.
 T do not know how the mem bers can go back and I do not know how I can go back" she cried, "and tell the veterans :. No, the Congress has passed mill lions and millions of dollars for relief to foreign countries and nev- CT counted the cost but we are not passing legislation for the veterans because of the cost believe the leadership will bring those bills for action tomorrow. I still have faith I do not believe that faith will be betrayed
 But the session ended, and the bills were still bottled up in the Committee.
 At the height of the battle, Washington's AMVET post hap pened to select Speaker Joe Mar tin for an honorary life member ship. Minority leader Sam Ray burn was supposed to. speak on the same program. but a last min ute change kept him away, and Mrs. Rogers was hustled on the speakers platform to take his
