Death tolls climbed, millions of dollars worth of crops withered and fire endangered parched forests in the northeastern north-eastern United States and parts of Canada Saturday after three scorching weeks without rain. Hardest hit i'n the record June drought was New England, where 37 deaths were attributed to the heat and a crop loss of $45,000.-000 $45,000.-000 was foreseen if the weather bureau's prediction of continued dryness proves correct. In New York- State, rainless for 3 days, the drought was reported to have cause $500,000 damage to crops in the past week. A Canadian heat wave was be-.ing be-.ing blamed for SIOO.OOOOOO in crop losses and temperatures were go high rueful inhabitants nicknamed nick-named Ottawa "Hottawa." The weather bureau at Boston said the widespread drought was "particularly baa" in new tng land where the parching sun brought the prospect of a fall milk shortage, higher vegetable prices and the rising menace of forest fires. Sojt Baked Earth Scattered showers fell in sec tlons of western New England and more were predicted for the rest of the six-state area tomorrow, but the weather bureau said they "were far too light to penetrate the sun-baked earth. Farmers,"tiesperately harrowing their soil Th search of moisture, aid the showers, .merely served to draw crop roots toward the surface sur-face where the sun threatened to kill them. - Only soaking rains within five days can save the threatened 20 per cent of their plantings, they aaid. . ' ' Rain also was needed for the parched pasturelands of dairy farmers who said the sun-scorch' ing of hay crops would, require unusually early barn-feeding of livestock "and thus force up the price, of milk next October. Vermont Closes Forests The weather bureau, however, said soaking rains were not in prospect for at least four more davs and that temperatures would remain above 80 in coastal areas and close to B0 in some inland auctions. Vermont closed its forests in an effort to provent fires. Civil air patrol planes made emergency fire-watching flights over the state. Five new forest fires in Maine brought to 30 the number of out breaks in that state which, like Massachusetts, banned the build ina of fires in woodland areas. All Maine's fires were reported to be smal and under control, but to the north in British Columbia a forest blaze had passed its 40th hour out of control and had rav' aged 170- acres of timberland.

Hopeful Note But the key to the ending of this conference on a slightly hopeful note now appears to be how far Russia is willing to compromise com-promise on Austria and Yugo- slavia's claims against that country. coun-try. Russia's desire to abandon' Yugoslavia's territorial and reparation rep-aration claims against Austria appeared to be substantial. However, How-ever, the final word remains to' be spoken. The western powers, surprised by Russia's about face on the Austrian issue, were playing a very careful and delicate game in the feud between. Stalin and Tito. In fact, they were trying to play both sides of the street. On the one hand they were egging egg-ing Russia on to abandon her previous support of Yugoslavia's claims against-Austria- and to accept ac-cept the west's compromise proposal pro-posal on the dificult question of German assets in Austria. On the other hand they were trying to lure Yugoslavia to re-the re-the orient her economy toward west to compensate for the tight ening of the economic blockade against Yugoslavia by the comin-form comin-form countries. Negotiations for American loans and for increased trade with America and Britain are near positive results.
