The storms hit after a day that saw beaches crowded, roads packed and people broiling under a merciless sun.

IN ORLANDO, it was the hottest July 2 on record and the hottest day of the year. The previous high was 96, set in 1948. Other high temperatures included a 96 in Winter Garden, and a 94 in Kissimmee and DeLand. A three car collision at South Orange Blossom Trail and the Martin Andersen Beeline killed a Satellite Beach woman. Highway Patrol Trooper Denny Stafford said 35-year-old Reina S.

Padgett was killed, but her husband and four children in their van were treated and released. Stafford said the wreck was caused by a traffic light failure during a power outage in the heavy rain. No one else was seriously injured, he said. NEARLY 2,000 homes in the Sky Lake subdivision, on Oak Ridge Road, Lancaster Road, and a section of Orange Avenue in Pina Castle were without power because of equipment failure in the storm. Power was restored in about three hours.

Florida Power engineer Ronald Meade reported scattered instances of falling limbs and lightning damage caused power failures to about 150 other homes around Orlando. Meade also said four transformers in town went out because of overloads in the heat, each ono affecting six to 10 homes. AN ORLANDO Utilities spokesman reported very minor damage done by the storm. He said four transformers were out for brief periods. Power was out for one and a half hours in the 1000 block of West Yale in College Park, and was also out for a brief time at South Orange Avenue and Jersey Street.

John P. Dreves, a hospital spokesman, said Truman was "in good spirits and talked with hospital personnel as he was taken to his room." Dreves indicated Truman was in no danger and there would be no (Continued On Page 2-A, Col. 4) THE ONEMENT was made primarily to protect the Icelandic financial backers of the match and to preserve the image of the game itself, Euwe said. If Fischer does not appear for the drawing of lots now scheduled for Tuesday at noon (8 a.m. EDT) he will be disqualified and lose his right to challenge the 35-year-old Russian for the world chess title, Euwe said.

Along the lengthening western flank of the counteroffensive, 150 enemy soldiers were reported killed in several battles near the foothills three to five miles west of Highway 1.

Vietnamese marines on the eastern sector of the front reported killing 37 North Vietnamese while losing one man killed and six wounded in a fight six miles cast of Quang Tri on the "Street without Joy." THE LATEST reports brought (Continued On Page 2-A, Col. 1) but he said both had been lost. He indicated that the cablegrams called for a postponement because of the state of Fischer's health. Euwe said the postponement was made after he and the official arbiter for the match, Chess Grand Master Lot ha Schmid of Germany, asked Spassky and his assistants if they would concur. Neither promoters nor Cramer's representatives would say whether the financial problem had been settled.

Chess sources said this was the major stumbling block.

He was 95. Church press secretary Henry Smith said the elderly leader of 3,000,000 Mormons died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Bruce R.

Passenger Kills Asian Skyjacker SAIGON A young Asian tried to hijack a Pan American Airways 747 jumbo jet to Hanoi on Sunday, but the aircraft landed instead in Saigon where the pilot and two passengers clasped him in a strangle hold and an armed passenger pumped five bullets into his chest.

The pilot then heaved the dead hijacker's body to the concrete taxiway at Tan Son Nhut Airport. The hijacker had claimed he was North Vietnamese. A PAN AMERICAN spokesman in Hong Kong said, As far as we can tell now, the hijacker's name is believed to be Nguyen Thai Binh, but no passport or ticket for him has been found. It is believed he boarded the plane at Honolulu." The man carried a package he claimed was a bomb in one hand and a long knife in the other. He said he intended to blow up the aircraft after it reached Hanoi in a "revenge act" for the U.S.

bombing of North Vietnam, the pilot said. After landing at Saigon on a pretext of refueling, the pilot, Capt. Gene Vaughn, 53, and two passengers got the air pirate off guard, knocked the "bomb" from his hand and wrestled him to the floor.

Spassky arrived early last week. IN ANNOUNCING the decision to postpone the opening of the 24-game match, Euwe said an Icelandic friend of Fischer, Freys-tein Thorbergsson, was flying to New York "to try to persuade Fischer to come here and play the match." "If he does not show up at noon on Tuesday for the drawing of lots," Euwe said, "he will be disqualified and lose the right to play for the title."

(UPI) Former President Harry Truman, 88, was hospitalized in a wheelchair Sunday suffering a gastrointestinal ailment. Doctors said he was in "satisfactory" condition. Dr.

Wallace H. Graham said the "lower gastrointestinal problem" was related to the ailment for whichTruman spent 12 days in the hospital last year. "He is doing quite well but a reexamination is indicated periodically," Graham said. "ROUTINE EXAMINATIONS are planned to include X-ray studies of the lower gastrointestinal tract." Graham said he decided to hospitalize Truman "to check his status with his condition when he was hospitalized in 1971." Truman's wife, Bess, 87, was at his bedside at Research Hospital and Medical Center. Graham said the intestinal problem was related to Truman's 1971 bout with colitis, an inflammation of the large intestine.

Thirty miles to the south, the enemy sent scores of heavy rocket and artillery rounds crashing into Hue and defense posts on its southern and western perimeter. However, the shellings were not followed up by any attempt to take the old imperial capital.
