People Sleeping in Parks

New York, July 25—City parks and recreation piers were opened to the public tonight for sleeping quarters during the present hot spell. Acting Mayor Colins said it was better to have rumpled grass than crowded hospitals and a mounting death rate. Nearby beaches also have been made available as sleeping places for the sweltering millions.
