Scientist Claims
He Has SOLUed
The Mystery
Of f'Scourge

Key West is apparently in no i'm
mediate danger of being flooded
with the dreaded ''red tide" which
is plaguing the fishing industry on
the west coast of Florida, check
of local fishing experts showed to-
day.
mo reports of the red tide have
been reported to my knowledge, "
Jack Thompson, an official of the
Thompson Enterprises said today.
"While we have no reason to be-
lieve that the Key West area Will
be affected, it could be really Sc
rious If it did," Thompson added.
He pointed out that such con-
dition could seriously damage the
fishing industry here although he
said that he did not know at this
time what effect the scourge could
have on shrimping.
In 194S, Key West caught the
fringe of the ''red tide" that killed
tons Of fish along the west coast
and ruined the summer vacation
season in some areas. Some ex-
perts hold that the condition was
q big factor in the loss of Key
Vests sponging industry.

pert said today that he had found

Ike Plans For Conference
With Truman Next Tuesday
BY WARREN ROGERS JR.

WASHINGTON tR - President
elect EiSenhower's advance scouts
sitting secrets and stunning publi-
city, quietly cleared the way today
for his conference next Tuesday
with President Truman.
The information gatherers, Mas
sachusetts' Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge
Jr. and Detroit banker Joseph
Dodge, went about their tasks in
side a self-imposed, no-news-today
cocoon.
Neither Lodge, who is Eisen-
hower's liaison with almost all gov
ernment agencies but the Budget,
Bureau, nor Dodge, who takes over
there, had any report on their
progress.
Lodge made it clear yesterday,
his first on the job, that he was
asking questions, not answering
them. In shirt sleeves, making
phone calls from his Senate office,
Lodge told reporters only that he is
gathering ''top secret" information
from the Truman administration.
He described his schedule today
in this terse fashion:
81 have an appointment with a
man who wants to see me in conf
dence."
Practically nothing has been
heard from the other half of the
Lodge-Dodge team since he arrived
in Washington last Wednesday.
Dodge announced he was going to
! watch-but not criticize or advise
while budget officials put the finish
ing touches to the last federal bud
get of the Truman administration,
which goes to Congress in January.
Dodge and other Eisenhower
aides have emphasized that the
general will not accept responsible
lity for anything in the Truman
bud 4. Il.
Sen. Bridges Of New Hampshire,
Republican floor leader in the SEN
ate, quoted Dodge Thursday as
saying that most of the preliminary
hearings, on which the budget esti-
mates are based, have been CON-
pleted. Bridges said the drafting
was almost in the poSt.mortem
stage" before Dodge stepped in.
The White House, meanwhile,
came up with tip that the Eisen-
hover Truman conference will deal
primarily with vital foreign policy,
defense and money matters. An an
nouncement yesterday said that
among those sitting in on the White
House talks will be Secretary of
State Acheson, Secretary of De-
Tense Lovett, Secretary of the
Treasury Snyder and Mutual Secu-
rity Administrator w. Averell
Hartman.
Lodge and Dodge win be at
Eisenhower side after the general
first meets alone with Truman in
the Presidents office. Presumably,
the Korean War and Eisenhower's
plan to visit Korea will top the
agenda at the Eisenhower-Truman
tete-

reception when Eisenhower hits

Records Tumble
During Heat Wave
Thru-0ui County
Temperature Above
80 Degrees For
IL Days In Month

During IL of the first 81 days
in July, the temperature has
been 90 degrees or over, accord
ing to a report released Monday
by Mrs. Frank Burlingame of
Sharon. IT,.
This is an unusual record in
that during a normal summer,
the mercury seldom reaches 80
degrees, or over for that many
days during the entire three
months.
Although June holds the re-
cord of SO degrees for the high
to date, there is no comparison
to that month and the current
one, relative to the number of
really hot" days.
Since Tuesday, July Is, the
mercury has been 80 or over
with the high last Thursday at
81 degrees. Saturday, Sunday
and Monday, the mercury stood
at SO degrees.
Add to this high humidity
and you have the reason for so
many people complaining about
the weather. The low reading
for these three days was 81 on
Saturday.
This section of the state is also
much better off than the north
ern part, where very little, II
any, rain has fallen. According
to the records, Noble county has
had 3.74 inches of rainfall in
July. This includes the torren-
tial downpour. of July 8 when
1877 inches of rain fell.
There are also five days during
July when the low temperature
reading has been above 70 and
on two different dates it hit 72
degrees.
Following the downpour OF
July 8, the mercury dropped to
so degrees on the next morning
but otherwise it has been in the
high sixties or above.
The low and high reading for
the first 81 days of July, accord
ing to the official report, is as
follows: t=s.
July 1-65 and 83; July 1853 and
85; July 3-72 and 81; July 4-o1
