The East Lee state police who were called to the scene of the fire, were expected back this morning to conduct an investigation, while the medical examiner and an undertaken were reported on the way. Two of the four cars owned by members of the hunting party were burned and the ignition keys of the other two were lost in the fire.
 The men were too weak during the morning hours to talk about their experience.
 The hospital staff expected the na- tients would recover speedily as none seemed to have been either seriously hurt or badly overcome by smoke.
 Injured in Winsted Hospital
 The injured men were rushed to a hospital in Winsted, Conn, by East Otis residents. The hunters, who were housed in I Prescott Of Canaan. Conn, were awakened when stove exploded The fire had gained great headway by this time and boxes of shotgun shells began to discharge about the rooms.
 Ten of the scantily clad hunters jumped through windows, either | from the first or second story, into ! frigid weather that registered five degrees above zero. The place was a mass Of flames and the survivors were unable to aid their four trap ped companions.
 Flames Arouse Farmers The camp was located half mile l from the nearest telephone and it was only after farmers noticed the l flames that aid arrived. The six in 1 jured men, suffering from burns and l wounds. were taken to the hospital when residents arrived in automo- ] piles.
 No search for the bodies could be made because of the intense heat.
 Fire Warden William Worden and state troopers rushed to the scene 10 give aid.

times of the fire at Larkin pond eerly this morning were believed to have been trapped on the stairway descending from the second floor to the first floor of the hunting camp where they died.
 So fiercely did the fire burn-the camp was constructed of logs and pine boards-that it was impossible to approach the building until the flames had subsided. Then a bucket brigade carried water to the ruins and cooled of the glowing pile suf- ficiently for them to enter what was left of the structure. The four bodies are said to have been found on the stairway where the victims were trapped while trying to escape.
 Three theories have been ad- vanced concerning the origin of the fire. One is that it started from a stove on the second floor Another is that a fireplace on the first floor was the cause. The third is that a smouldering cigarette butt careless ly discarded by one of the hunters started the fire.
 Within 20 minutes after the flames illuminated the skies. John Cum mings and Collin Farron of the Massac achusetts state constabulary hastened from their barracks at East Lee and were at the scene.
 Earl Cross and Pearl Roper, who live in the neighborhood, bundled the wounded in blankets and took them to the hospital in Winsted. The hunting camp was opened on Sunday in preparation for the hunt ing season which began yesterday in Massa achusetts. The building is said to have been crowded with the men sleeping three in a bed.

 These included effective regula- ton of interstate electrical power; further legislation necess to ia cilitate railroad consolidation; re- vision of immigration laws to place them on more limited, selectiye and flexible basis. and adjustment of inequalities in services and al loUances to veterans.
 Strengthening of deportation laws to more fully rid the country Of criminal aliens was urged.
 Postal Situation Mentioned Another matter placed in the cate gory for later determination was q recommendation 10 authorize feder. al building of secondary postal facil. ities, 10 prevent further uneconomic leasing The president attributed such leasing by past administration, 10 deferment Of government build. ! ing.
