June came to an end in Texas
Thursday on a generally hot and
dry note, in sharp contrast to last
Thursday- with tty-start of torren-
tial rains that,flooded much of the
coastal country. : ..
- Light showers fell during sthe
day in the Victoria areas but oth-
erwise skies were clear to partly
cloudy and temperatures mostly
in the 90s. „ AU—
Far West Texes bore‘the brunt
of Thursday’s heat Presidio had
108 degrees. El Paso 107, Van
Horn 106, Wink 104, San Angelo
102 and Lubbock and Laredo 100.
On the cooler side were Corpus
Christi with 87 degrees, Galveston
with 88, and Palacios with 89.
Meanwhile, the last flood threat
in the state vanished. The Guada-
lupe River at Victoria crested just
under 29 feet, and was expected
to start receding right away.
All roads in the area were open ■
and only a low spot in. the city
park was under water. No further
damage was expected downstream
at Port Lavaca where nearly 30
inches of rain fell last weekend
. The general forecast for .the
state. was for clear to partly
cloudy skies and maximum tem-
peratures up to 105 degrees

party
Inside the mansion, one of Brit-
ain's stately homes open to the
public, one guest commented
"They've four bands but you can't
hear them” Behind the house,
guests danced around the lighted
swimming pool to the music of a
West Indian steel drum band.
After two hours of reception line
handshaking, Getty said: "That
was good exercise. I loved it.”
Asked if he expected to see the
party through to the end, Getty re-
plied: "I hope to do that, if I can
stand the pace.”
Then he went off to look for a
dancing partner.
The party started about 10 p.m.
and was scheduled to run to 4 a m.
and cost about 12,000 pounds-
$33,600. During that time Getty's
oil interests alone will produce a
profit of about 20.400 pounds-
$57,120.
