Low-resolution spectra have been obtained with the short-wavelength camera of IUE for late-type giant stars of spectral type F5 III-G8 III. These stars are believed to be in their first crossing of the H-R diagram, as inferred from their location along the blue edge of the Hertzsprung gap or their high abundance of lithium. From the earliest spectral type observed along the blue edge of the gap, the normalized C IV flux, which is indicative of 100,000 K plasma, increases to a maximum at G0 and then falls with advancing spectral type. The total range in emission measure of 100,000 K gas is an order of magnitude or more among stars making their first appearance as yellow giants and averages about 25 times higher in these stars than in other G8-K0 yellow giants, the majority of which are probably He-burning post-red giants. The observations tentatively show that transition region emission, and by inference coronal emission, increases in intensity with the growth of convection zones in late-type giants and then declines at lower surface temperatures, perhaps because of rotational spin-down and a weakening of dynamo action.
