Torrid Weather Ushers in July Across the Nation
July opened with a record heat wave across much of the United States as relief arrived in North Dakota and Minnesota and was forecast to spread to the central states. The heat pushed farther east and south where Virginia, Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, and Georgia set new records with no relief in sight. The weather outlook favored a brief Midwest cool down, but long-lived relief remained unlikely as officials warned of continuing high temperatures. Total heat related deaths, including drownings and a fatal storm in St. Louis, reached roughly 230 in the last 24 hours and about 766 for the hot spell overall. Farmers faced with withered crops and dying livestock welcomed cooler forecasts, while wells and streams ran dry. Pacific coast near normal. Rockies cooler with showers. Northeast around 78 degrees.

Tennessee House Eyes Anderson Income Tax Bill
The Tennessee House debated Senator H C Anderson s graduated income tax plan for a second time after the administration favored the failed Durham privilege tax proposal. Speaker Haynes opposed the Durham measure calling it an abortion and argued utilities already pay the 3 percent excise. Anderson would tax excessive profits. Governor Horton declined to comment on an extra session unless forced. Lawmakers tried to push Smoky Mountain pack bills to a special order to extend park land acquisition time.
