Atlantic Seaboard
Droops In Torrid Temps
iBy The Associated Press)
Residents of the mid-Atlantic
states sweated out another Tound
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
33 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 Sunday’s
high mark was 96.
The 40 degree reading at Evan
ston, Wyoming, compared to 90
at Needles, Calif.
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.

Valve Malfunction Cause
Of Vanguard Failure
WASHINGTON, UP) — One little
pressure valve failed to work in
last Monday’s Vanguard satellite
shoot, so the complex missile
curved off and plunged into the
sea.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration Friday con
firmed an earlier diagnosis that
the pressure valve failure kept the
moonlet from going into orbit.
The same kind of valve had
worked perfectly in scores of pre
vious rocket launchings.
