The third day of a May heat wave in Long Beach and surrounding areas hit 95 degrees at noon, with 97 on Tuesday tying the month high. Orange County towns reported 95, 98 in Anaheim, and 99 in Orange as water use broke records and beaches drew 20,000 people. Heat exhaustion sent two to hospitals, bridges faced closures, and car vapor locks clogged freeways amid dry, overheated conditions.

Gabrielson Seeks 6 Million Fee In Tidelands Case
Los Angeles attorney Theodore Gabrielson seeks a 6 million fee for his legal work in the Long Beach tidelands dispute. He told Judge Curtis Smith he may pursue payment from the state Long Beach or both, claiming he helped win a 120 million award of tideland funds to the state. While the attorney contends, the state Supreme Court ruled half of Long Beach oil funds and all gas revenue go to the state. In related news, 28-year-old Hazen Johnson of the USS Mapa was severely burned when a motorcycle crash and fuel explosion near Terminal Island prompted rescue efforts by a passerby and Navy officials.
