Ten Fatalities
Attributed To
Record Drouth
Heat Continues Through
Fifth Consecutive Day;
Government Acts
CHICAGO, July 7.--()-More than
a score of deaths were counted to-
night in the harvest of havoc wrought
by record breaking heat and month
old drought.
The deaths included at least 10
fatalities attributed to the intense
heat which scorched through its fifth
consecutive day of better than 100
degree readings with indications that
yesterday's top of 119 would be equal-
led in many places and probably sur-
passed as thousands sought refuge
from the burning rays in lakes and
rivers.
Early afternoon readings including
an unofficial maximum of 118 at
suburban Des Plaines and Chicago's
highest of the year 102 on the mu-
nicipal airport thermometer.
The weather bureau in Washington
announced no alleviation was likely
for the next two or three days in-
creasing the pessimism of planters
that corn's "critical period" might
resolve into added disaster.
To facilitate Federal relief meas-
ures, the agriculture department's
drought committee, designated 97
counties in North and South Dakota,
Montana and Wyoming as "emer-
gency drought counties." Relief ac-
tivities will be concentrated in this
area and will include, reduced freight
rates on livestock, WPA projects, re-
settlement loans and grants, and the
proposed cattle purchase plan.
In one of the wildest markets in
months, wheat zoomed to a new high
price for the season-a peak since
August of the drought year of 1934-
and then was whirled downward al-
most a cent below yesterday's close on
an avalanche of selling orders. Rain-
fall in tht Saskatchewan sector of the
drought territory was credited with
causing the reversal. After selling as
high as $1.10 a bushel, the first se-
rious break in the dry spell market
ended with July delivery at $1.05.
Wedding Plans
Are Announced
By Mrs. Owen
First Woman Minister Will
Marry Captain Of Danish
King's Court
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 7.-
(0)-A quiet romance of King Chris-
tian's Danish court became tonight
the brief betrothal of Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Owen, America's gracious
"Madame Minister."
She will wed the flaxen-haired
Kammerjunker Captain Borge'Rohde,
42-year-old honorary gentleman
groom to Denmark's ruler, in New
York. The date, it was reported, will
be tomorrow or Thursday; the place,
the Long Island estate of Mrs. Owen's
daughter, Mrs. Robert Lehman.
Mrs. Owen, 50 years old, the hand-
some daughter of William Jennings
Bryan, is the United States' first
woman minister plenipotentiary.-
She reached the United States last
Sunday on two months' leave, and in-
tends to participate, in President
Roosevelt's campaign for reelection.
Captain Rohde, whose mother an-
nounced the engagement today, is
expected in New York tomorrow.
He asked for and received permis-
sion of the foreign office to wear his
uniform while abroad, presumably at
the wedding.
This consists of a tall bearskin cap,
a scarlet jacket and light blue trous-
ers with silver stripes.
With this colorful regalia Captain
Rohde is entitled to wear the decora-
tion of a knight of the Belgian order
of the crown. It was conferred on
the officer by the late King Albert of
Belgium for services in commanding
a guard of honor during the latter's
visit to Denmark in 1926.
Denmark heard the official an-
nouncement of the betrothal over
the radio tonight. .
Mrs. Owen, in a long-distance tele-
phone call to Washington, confirmed
the betrothal but made no further
comment. Her friends in New York
said she was out of town on a brief
visit.
In Washington, authorities said
Mrs. Owen would not lose her citizen-
ship by marriage to the Danish cap-
tain, and, subsequently, would not
have to resign her ministerial post
unless she so chose.
Mrs. Owen, who is intensely pop-
ular in Denmark, met the six-foot
captain in the king's lifeguards but
six months ago.

National, State
Politics Keep
Landon On Job
Urges State Legislature
To Pass Social Security
Amendment
TOPEKA, Kans., July 7.--(I)-Gov.
Alf M. Landon, dividing a busy day
between national politics and state
legislative affairs, urged upon fel-
low Kansans today a state constiu-
tional amendment to permit "proper"
participation in the "Republic ob-
ligation" of social security.
The Republican presidential nom-
inee opened a special session of the
state legislature with a personal ad-
dress to perspiring and shirt-sleeved
legislators, who crowded the col-
umned house chamber in the west
wing of the capital.
He recommended submission and
ratification of constitutional changes
designed to clear the way for full
participation in the Federal security
law. But in doing so, Landon stressed
that the New Deal program and the
Republican platform upon which he
seeks the presidency provided "dif-
ferent" plans for social security.
Later in the day, after conferences
in which national party leaders said
they reported evidences of a growing
Landon trend, the Governor issued a
brief formal statement on social se-
curity.
"Any proposed amendment to the
constitution," said Landon's address,
"should merely grant to the legisla-
ture of the state the power to enact
laws to enable this state to join in
any such final act for this purpose as
may ultimately become the settled
law upon this question."
"Social security in the end," Lan-
don said, "can only be built upon
character and religion and industry,
but in the meantime our natural hu-
manity and the employment program
of a great industrial civilization re-
quires the community through its
government, to protect those who by
reason of age or other misfortune
may have claims upon us.
Gasoline Truck
Strikes Parked
Car; One DeadI
Pinned beneath the wreckage of a
burning gasoline truck, Mrs. Annie
Given, Detroit Negro, was burned to
death on Michigan Avenue near Ypsi-
lanti early yesterday after the gaso-
line truck had careened into the
parked auto in which she was await-
ing the return of her husband, who
had gone for aid to a punctured tire.
Two other occupants of the parked
auto, Edward Hill and Harry Ander-
son, both of Detroit, were injured.
Stephen Bourgeois,, River Rouge,
driver of the truck, escaped injury.
Pulling two trailers, each of which
contained 2,500 gallons of gasoline,
the truck struck the parked automo-
bile in a collision that ended in a
heap of burning wreckage on the lawn
All efforts to release Mrs. Given
from the wreckage were of no avail.
August Given, who was walking to
Ypsilanti, was taken here today for
questioning by Prosecutor Albert J.
Rapp. Because his car is thought to
have been parked on the pavement,
instead of the broad shoulders pro-
vided, it is held possible that he may
be charged with negligent homicide.
State police re-routed traffic for
two hours.

As conditions in the drought areas grew steadily worse, Harry Hop-
kins, head of the Works Progress Administration, announced after a
conference in St. Paul with Federal and State officials, a drought relief
program which he said would give work to all persons whose income has
been virtually destroyed by the drought. Shown at conference are, left
to right; Thomas 11. Moodie, WPA Administrator for North Dakota; Gov.
Tom Berry of South Dakota; and Hopkins.

ciples and these pre-Armistice agree-
ments," he said.
The statements in the Treaty,
known as th "war guilt lies," placing
the responsibility for the World War
on Germany hurt the German people,
Professor Ehrmann said.
It is further claimed by the Reich,
according to the speaker, that "the
League is not an impartial arbiter
among powers, but rather an instru-
ment for carrying out a victor's peace
imposed upon Germany."
In conclusion, Professor Ehrmann
made an urgent plea for attention to
a five-point program, "if the peace of
the world is to be preserved."
1. Germany must be accorded
full equality, and the "war-guilt lies"
must be abandoned along with all
accompanying effects resulting from
belief in them.
2. A peaceful revision of the post-
war settlement must be made be-
fore there are further breaches in
the Treaty of Versailles and the fab-
ric of peace.
3. There must be further revision
..1
I of the League of Nations, so that it
I will be no longer regarded as the
guardian of the settlements of 1919-
1920.
4. There must be "no more vic-
tor's peace-no more dictating- no
more imposed peace."
5. In our future peace treaties,
there must be embodied ways and
means of peaceful modification, so!
that there will be "no more inelastic
codes of settlement."
