Heat Wave Fades as Tropical Storms, War News Dominate
Weather records show a blistering heat wave cresting at 149 degrees and 90s in Pennsylvania as heavy rains cool the region. Meanwhile, U S forces pound Marcus Island in the Pacific with 160 bombers and fighters, reporting damage to ground installations and 12 planes shot down. The action shifts to New Georgia and Kolombangara in the Solomons as American artillery and air power press the campaign, with MacArthur noting the enemy’s rearguard resistance waning. Reports from Chicago note a 3 percent fatality rate for the first half of 1944 despite high production and employment.
