Atlantic SeabOard DrOops In TOrrid Temps
(By The Associated Press)

Residents of the mid-Atlantic states sweated out another round of 90-to-100 degree temperatures today, with only a faint hope that cool air over the Midwest would drift to their relief.
 The front of cool air which dropped nighttime temperatures to B at Big Piney, Wyo., and 39 at Minot, N. D., in contrast to the 81- degree minimum at Washington, D. C., moved into Michigan and Indiana today. Heat records were broken Sunday in Maryland, Vir- ginia and the Carolinas.
 A five-day siege in the 90s was broken at Chicago early today, and by late morning, it was 73 de- grees in the Loop where Sundays high mark was 96.
 The 40 degree reading at Evan ston, Wyoming, compared to 90 at Needles, Calf.
 The oppressive heat shot the mercury to record marks for the date in many areas yesterday. Bal timore's scorching 100 was the city's hottest June 28 since 1921 when it was 96. It was 101 at Charlotte, N. C., and just about as hot in Washington and Rich mond, Va, where it was 99.

A House-approved bill, call

quirement for public schools

by the Senate Privileges and

After that action, there was
