(By the Aeeociated PreseJ sun kept millions The of Americans on the weather gridiron yesterday, baking them at sizzling temperatures in the 90s and 100s. The current heat wave drove hundreds of thousands to beaches and country outings. The steambath weather took at least 177 lives. Quick Drop in Washington. There were some spots wnere at least temporary relief followed rain and wind storms.

In Washington, a thunderstorm dragged the temperature down from the 90s to 69 in a half hour, but it soon climbed back to 72. It dropped 23 degrees in one hour, from 91 to 68, after 60-mile gusts and a rain storm hit Baltimore. Heavy rains cooled off a wide belt of the Southeast and Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and Norwalk, O. At Norwalk a torrential rain caused $500,000 damage. But hot weather engulfed most of the nation.

St. Louis, stifling in a prolonged steambath, had a high of 104. Temperatures in the 100s studded the swelterbelt. Louisville 102, Memphis 100, Nashville 103, Wichita 101, Phoenix 103, Tuscon 100 and Yuma 103. Chicago wilted with an official high of 96 and it crept near 100 in Columbus, and Abilene, both with 99 readings.

Other hotspots were Cincinnati 98, Milwaukee 91, Des Moines 93, Washington 95 and Oklahoma City 98. The Norwalk, storm downed power lines and left the city without electric power service.

Paul, June 29. The Kansas City Blues organized a 9-man murderers row today in the first game of their double-header with St. Paul and shattered American Association records by smashing ten home runs and twenty hits for a total of fifty three bases. The display of batting might, unprecedented in the Associations 51-year history, broke three records, tied two others and in addition left the Saints buried under the weight of a 17 to 4 landslide. Even that drubbing didnt take everything out of the Saints a they came bounding back to win the nightcap, 10 to 4, with a 7-run rally in the sixth Inning.

The attendance at the double-header was 3,792. Roy Partee, the Blues sturdy little catcher, led the astounding first game bombardment with three home runs, equalling his entire output for the 1951 season. Vic Power, Kal Segrist and Bill Renna walloped two each and Andy Carey connected for one; The 1-game total of ten homers wiped out Milwaukees record of nine, set last year in Minnea poliss Nicollet park, which is best known for its short right field fence. The old total-base record was fifty. It was first set by Minneapolis in 1940 and was matched by Columbus in a game played at Minneapolis in 1948.

Careys Blow Sets Record. Segrists second home run of the game, in the eighth inning, pulled the Blues to the 50-mark and Andy Carey broke the record a few moments later with a sharp single to center. Ernie Nevel, the Kansas City hurler. boosted the total to fifty-three with a double. It was the Blues final hit of the game as they expired in order in the ninth.

Even more startling than these two feats, however, was the concentration of six home runs by Kansas City in the third inning. The league record book does not carry a listing for team homers in one inning but vet--eran baseball observers here, including one who helped assemble the loop records, said it was unquestionably an all-time high. Partee led off in the third anJ dropped a 330-foot homer ovcf the left-field fence on the Coliseum roof. Power, Segrist, Ren na and Carey joined in the distance-hitting exhibition and then Partee, up for the second time in the inning, cracked No. 6 almost the identical spot he hit the first one.

Partee Ties a Mark. Partees two circuit clouts in Cl AMES 09 Central street, Leveridge The companies were notified Saturday Jhat a strike vote would be taken. After the meeting the men returned to their jobs, unloaded all cars that had been opened previously and then left. The work was completed before noon. Union and elevator company representatives met with a federal mediator, late yesterday, but no settlement was reached.

To Meet Again Today. Wayne F. Forcade, a member of the negotiations committee for the terminal elevators, said some progress was made. Another meeting was scheduled for today, and Forcade said the committee was optimistic about reaching an agreement then. Leveridge said the union was basing its wage demand on the recommendation by the Wage Stabilization board that steel workers receive a 17 -cent pay rise.

Our work is Just as hot and undesirable as that of steel workers, he said. In addition, we have a lot of dust to contend with. Our men have had a 70-cent boost since 1945 and steel workers have received a 73-cent rise. We havent tried as yet to justify such a rise to the WSB. An embargo on shipping unconsigned wheat into the Kansas City market went into effect Saturday, preventing the arrival of any grain which was to go into storage instead of being sold.

Forcade said if the strike continues through today an embargo on all wheat shipments here probably will be declared, stopping grain marketing operations all down the line from the farmer to the elevator. The Harvest Rolls On. Harvesting operations could not be halted, of course, because there is danger of a big loss of grain from shattering when overripe wheat is combined. Piling the grain on the ground would be about the only course of action left. Clark said the embargo de dared Saturday will remain in effect, but the A.

A. R. will wait a short time to see the result of the negotiations before declaring a complete embargo. R. H.

Sturtevant, chairman of the elevator company negotiations committee, said a decision either to end the strike or tighten the embargo undoubtedly will be reached today. The strike will not directly affect the Board of Trade and It will continue bu)1ng and selling operations as usual, Sturtevant said. There is no possibility of sending the grain to another market, Clark said. Practically all Mid-West elevators are flooded with grain because of the tremendous yields of the wheat lands. The St.

Joseph and Omaha markets already have more grain than they can handle. About 1,800 cars are waiting to be unloaded at Wichita and Hutchinson in Kansas and at Enid, he said. There might he some space in elevators at Indianapolis, Chicago or Cincinnati, Clark continued, but they are expecting big harvests there, too, and we couldnt send any wheat to those points. It comes down to the fact that we must handle the wheat here. There isnt any place else." The loss to the railroads will come as a result of having cars tied up with loads of grain, Clark pointed out.

Car Charges Go On. A railroad pays another railroad a rental fee of $2 a day for each closed car it Is using from the other line, Clark said. That per diem charge will go on al-( Continued on Second Page.) Spokesman Says Union Men Are Entitled to More Than the 6-Cent Offer. I IKIM ID FARMERS With Harvest in Progress, the Kansas City Market Is Needed to Absorb Big Crop. Embargo on Unconsigned Ship-ments May Be Extended to Cover All Movement Here.

The tremendous flow of grain from Kansas wheat-fields into Kansas City elevators was brought to a sudden halt late yesterday morning when about 300 terminal elevator employees, members of the American Federation of Grain Millers, A. F. went on strike for higher pay The paralysis struck wheatreceiving operations here at the height of grain arrivals from a record-breaking Kansas harvest, and more than 7,000 cars of wheat were on sidings in the city, waiting to be unloaded Two thousand more were waiting just outside Kansas City. Fifteen terminal elevators here were affected by the strike. Workers at a sixteenth elevator are members of a C.

I. O. union. Many Aspects to Loss. The halt poses an extremely serious threat to both the farm er and grain interests, a spokesman for the elevator companies said.

The railroads which transport wheat also would suffer a heavy economic loss in an extended strike. The shutdown affected between 9,000 and 10,000 cars of grain in all, R. E. Clark, Washington, manager of the closed car section of the Association of American Railroads, estimated. The 7,000 cars within the city which are awaiting inspection or unloading include 1,253 which were received here yesterday.

The 2,000 other cars have been shunted onto sidings at various points within about 150 miles because there not room enough for them here. The number of cars waiting to be unloaded was near the all-time record for the Kansas City market, a Board of Trade official said. The cars of newly-harvested grain represent about nine days unloading work, Clark estimated. About six or seven days will be required to take care of the more than 7,000 cars already in the city, he said. Between 1,300 and 1,400 cars normally can be unloaded in a day.

In addition to the backlog of grain in cars, thousands of bushels have been piled on the ground by some Kansas farmers because there were not enough cars for it. Thousands of bushels more will be harvested today. An Offer by Companies. J. A.

Leveridge, business agent and secretary of local No. 16 of the A. F. L. union, said the workers are asking for a 17-cent-an-hour wage rise.

The elevator companies have offered 6 cents plus some fringe benefits. The union contract expired June 1 after a 60-day period of negotiations. More meetings between management and labor have been held since that time, but a settlement could not be reached. Leveridge said. The decision to strike was saw mH 1 INTO 0.

0. P. ROW Several Rule for Settling Dele-gate Disputes Set by Taft and Ike Men. START HEARINGS TOMORROW Sessions Open to the Public But No Decision Is Made on TV Coverage. CHECK ON KEY SPEECH MacArthur Text Looked Over by Party Leaders, Gabriel-son Says.

Chicago, June 29. (AP) Eisenhower and Taft lieutenants, meeting with Guy G. Gabrielson, Re publican national chairman, agreed tonight on certain rules for settling contested delegate disputes at the G. O. P.

national convention. Generally, a spokesman for the G. O. P. national committee said, it was agreed that rules would be similar to those adopted at the 1948 convention.

At Odds on Time. However, the meeting could not agree on one issue: the time allotted for argument on the various contests. Previously these arguments have been limited to thirty minutes for each side. It was decided that an Eisenhower and a Taft representative would get together with Gabrielson for further discussion tomorrow. Otherwise, a national committee spokesman said, the main Issues settled at the meeting were: All contested delegations will be called in alphabetical order.

All contest hearings will be open to the press and public. It has not yet been decided whether to permit television of these hearings. After open national committee hearings on the contested delegations the arguments will go to closed executive session and be voted on there. Any members of the committee who are involved in the disputes will not be permitted to vote. The delegations representing Senator Taft, Republican, and General Eisenhower at the meeting today numbered three men each.

Taft men attending were Monte Appel of Washington, J. Kenneth Bradley of Bridgeport, and Representative Clarence J. Brown of Ohio. Eisenhower forces were represented by Sinclair Weeks, national committeeman from Massachusetts, Wiliam P. Rog ers of Washington, and Ralph G.

Boyd of Boston. Taft Case In. The pro-Taft Texas delegation today filed an 84-page brief supporting its claim to Republican national convention credentials. It charged that Democrats backed Eisenhower In an effort to wreck the 2-party system in the Done Star state. We do not want the Republican party in Texas taken oyer by phony converts, it said.

In order for people to become Republicans and to participate in party affairs, they must burn their bridges behind them and become bona fide Republicans. Earlier today Gabrielson said that General MacArthurs keynote speech for next weeks big convention has been checked by responsible party leaders. The national chairman said he does not know whether General MacArthur will wear his army uniform when he reads the address to the convention Monday, July 7. at the first night session In Chicagos International amphitheater. Im not In any position to say what hes going to wear, Gabrielson said.

About Half-Hour Bong. Gabrielson said he believes the keynote address will take thirty or forty minutes for delivery. In all, he said, there will be about fourteen speakers to address the convention, not counting those delegates who will make the nominating and seconding speeches. He said a list of speakers will be ready Monday. Gabrielson said that three subcommittees of the G.

O. P. national committee will meet tomorrow in the Coniad Hilton hotel, those on rules, arrangements and contests. The first informal convention committee meeting will be that on resolutions. It will meet Tuesday under the temporary chairmanship of Senator Eugene D.

Millikin of Colorado. Tuesday, also, the Republican national committee, sitting as a committee of the whole, will start hearings on delegate contests. Documentary material bearing on delegate contests will be assembled tomorrow by the committee on contests, but the subcommittee will not hear arguments.

The soared to 102 degrees yesterday for the second consecutive day, and the weather bureau foresaw no immediate likelihood of a break In the heat wave.

Although the high yesterday equaled the record for the year it did not match the all-time high of 105 for June 29, recorded in 1934. It was the twenty-third day this month in which the temperature reached or exceeded 90 degrees. The normal high for the date Is 87. In the weather mans book, yesterday was a more uncomfortable day than Saturday, even though the maximum temperature for each day was the same. Reason: The humidity was higher and the breeze lighter yesterday.

Fair and continued scorching weather was forecast for today and tomorrow by Robert Baskin, forecaster. The temperature will mount to about 100 both days. The low tonight will be near 80. There is nothing now that would indicate any cooler weather, Baskin said. The low yesterday was 82.

BALM TO POLIO FEARS NINA WARREN, ONCE A VICTIM HERSELF, SOOTHES TEXANS. People Do Recover, Daughter of California's Governor Says in Houston, Where There Is Epidemic. Houston, June 29.

(AP) The pretty, blonde daughter of California Gov. Earl Warren told Houstonians today not to be afraid of polio. Nina Warren said that she hoped her experiences with the disease would benefit some vie tims in Houston, which Is gripped by an epidemic of polio The 18-year-old girl looked as if she had never been ill. Yet only eighteen months ago Honeybear was paralyzed from the waist down. "The most important thing to remember is that people do re cover from polio, she said.

"People dont hear so much about complete recovery. Thats one reason why they fear the disease so much. But a knowledge that complete recovery is possible keeps up the determination to talk again, which is one of the most important factors in conquering polio, she said. Another important piece of advice Is not to worry about catching polio. It doesnt do any good to worry about it after normal precautions are taken.

If you get It, you get it," she said. Its like driving a car. You cant worry all the time about having a wreck when you are driving a car. In the slow process of recovery, a patient has his ups and downs, she said. Some days the exercises go well; other days, it seems as if the muscles are weaker.

Thats just the way it is, she said. You must never feel discouraged. KOREAN ACTION SLOWS UP. Rains and Allied Resistance Too Much for Reds. Seoul, June 30.
