CHICAGO, Aug. % - W.D -
Drought and blistering heat, the
worst since the dust bowl era,
cut deeper into the nations corn

both corn and wheat to new all
time highs today.
The soaring prices on the grain
exchanges foreshadowed increased
food costs for housewives. Every

cities, and in some spots touched

two others have drowned. U. S.
forecasters said the heat wave
won't be broken before Sunday,
probably later.

opened today with the United
States and Britain explaining to
France why they want to ap-
proximately double steel produc-
ton in the Reich.
The first session lasted two
hours and 40 minutes, and the
heads Of. all three delegations spoke
at length. The French, who have
opposed any relaxation of controls
that might allow Germany to re-
arm for war, also expounded their
view.
Russia formally protested the
conference on the ground that it
violates the Potsdam agreement.
They contend that since the Pots
dam agreement set the allowable
limits of German steel production
at some $500, 600 tons a year, any
revision was a subject for all four
powers to discuss.
The United States and Britain
want to increase production to TO-
