FIRE FIGHTERS
 ARE STILL BUSY
Continued from Page D

New York state had eight serious fires and numerous smaller ones. One thousand acres were burned over in Sullivan county.
 Fire fighters used two-day ra- dio communication system in bat ling flames on Q 5000 acre tract southeast of Pittsburgh, Penn. A railroad bridge was destroyed in New Hampshire, many homes were burned down in Maryland and the great Smoky Mountains National park in North Carolina received heavy timber damage.
 New England Hit
 Marshfleld, Mass, April 22.-(Up) New England's worst confiagration in il years today left only heaps of blackened debris and an army Of gaunt chimneys where nearly 300 cottages, Q Catholic church, Q casino and stores had stood.
 The fire, which ct first appeared to be e harmless blaze in marsh grass, spread swiftly before @ brisk breeze and wiped out 20 per cent Of this South Shore summer resort town. Chairman Robert s. Boles of the board of selectmen estimated the loss at $1,000,000 to $i,600,000.
 A sudden shift of the wind, after the fire had ragged uncontrolled for four hours yesterday afternoon saved the rest of the town.
 Bremen were marshalled from virtually every community within 0 30-mile radius.
 The ruins were placed under guard by state police as the state fire mar shal's office and insurance adjustors, who believed 50 per cent of the loss was covered by insurance, began an investigation.
 70 Families Homeless
 Only 70 families were left home- less ty the fire, Chairman Donald Muirhead of the Marshfield chapter of the American Red Gross reported. The remainder of the cottages were used only as summer residences, most of them belonging to greater Boston families.
 Thousands of persons converged on the area last night and roads were clogged with motor cars. Some were merely spectators, but others were owners of the destroyed prop erty and these wandered aimlesa ly over the flre.Swept area.
 It was the worst fire in Massachu- sets, on the basis of number of buildings burned, since the Salem fire of 1914, and the worst fire in New England since the Nashua, N. H., conhagration of io30.
 Shortly after noon yesterday marsh grass at Winslow road and Ocean street in the Fieldston section burst into flame. The fire, famed by @ westerly wind, swept eastward to a point between Sunrise Beach and Marshfield Beach, burning all cot- tages in it's path. The blaze finally was stopped between Ocean Bluffs and Brant Rock.
 Bremen Helpless
 Hampered by inadequate water supplies, and no match for the swiftness with which the flames spread, firemen were helpless. At many points where they established fire lines, they were forced to re- treat and their abandoned hose lines were consumed by the flames. These resembled huge black snakes twisted among the ruined cottages.
 Fire Chief Silas s. Wright, whose store was among those destroyed. criticized the town government for failing to make its usual appropria- ton to burn the marsh grass as Q precautionary measure against such a fire.
 Only an empty granite shell marked the site of St. Anne's-by-the-

GERMAN RADIO IS
 GIVING OUT TALE

New York, April 22-(UP)-The German short-gave station DUB in Q general broadcast today, dissem- mated the following which was picked up here:
 "The German high command will reveal c most painful shock to British illusion over the Greek cam paign, promising to disclose facts and figures to show that 1t has in- hicted damage which has practi- cally wiped out the British expedi- tionary force.
 German advanced troops are ex- pected to enter Athens within @ few hours"
 There had been no such Nazi claims previously, and broadcasts of the sort are not admitted to bear official weight.

 Pindus range cut southwest to 1oan- nina where 1t stood astride the highway along which the Greeks had been retiring toward Arta from Albania.
 The line of retreat along the sin- gle highway Is now cut, German sources said, and rumors circulated in Berlin that the Greek army in the EpiruS region-presumably that part of 1t trapped north of the Nazi break-through--had offered to ca- pitulate. There was no officail con- firmation of this report.
 The Germans also occupied Volos, the important port southeast of La- risa whose fall had been anticipated from the time the Nazis fought their way into Larisa.. This robbed the British expeditionary force of one of the principal ports through which 1t had been supplied and from which, the Germans charged, 1t had hoped to evacuate.
 Six Transports Sunk
 German planes yesterday sank six fully laden troop transports, totaling 3l,000 tons, on which the British Expeditlonary Force was evacuating, the high command as- serted.
 (In London British military au- thorities, admitting that the Brit ish- Greek line had been withdrawn to a point southward of Lamia, re- fused to discuss German reports of an evacuation.)
 The Official News Agency, in It's communiques on the capture of Volos and Lamia, said German troops were pursuing . "beaten" enemy.
 Axis diplomatic quarters began to speculate on the possibility of an early Greek request for an armis- tice.
 The German capture Of Ioannian raised the question whether many Greek troops might have been cut down through the Allied line to- ward the Ionian Sea coast.
 Tn addition to sinking six trans ports, the high command said, Ger man planes so severely damaged several other ships that their loss might be assumed.
 The high command referred to the evacuation of the British expe- ditionary Force from the Greenk mainland" It was not indicated whether they might be going to the Peloponnesus Peninsula, Crete or to North Africa.
 Attempt Authorizations
 At the same time well informed Nazis, reporting that the British were still continuing to attempt" authorizations of troops from North Africa, said that German planes yesterday scored a direct hit on North African troops and severely one troop transport filled with damaged another.
 Volos, whose capture the high command announced, is at the root of @ peninsula on the Aegian be- tween Larisa and Lamia. Lamia, at the southern side of the Othrys Hills, is just above the historic pass of Thermopylae in which the Brit ish might try to delay further German advance on the right flank.
 In the Ionannina Sector, the high command said, it's forces reached the highway beyond 1t along which the retreating Allied forces are mov- ing.
 At the same time, 1t was added, Italian forces advancing from the north were pursuing Greek forces who. 1t was admitted. were still resisting obstinately in many cases.
 The German advance on the Brit ish plank was maintained, the high command said, despite extensive destruction of highways.
 German airplanes cooperating with the army destroyed eight Brit ish planes in an air fight and five in an attack on Akrinion cir field, the high command said.

Nith Q legisiative battle over Judge Eickett's legal residence.
 Judge McNiff has been highly enc 1orsed eli along this year by various elglO and political leaders, among 4heln the four Democratic legisla- tors from Waterbury.
 60 far as court patronage Is con. nnrned, a question that has been more or less openly discussed in poe llticai quarters, both judges must agree on the court stan under the present working arranger mt. How ever, there is Q possibility that be- fore any appointments can Dc made Che Legislature may vote the Com- mon Pleas court revision bill. This would place aA judges on Q circuit basis and make other changes with ln the courts themselves, such as control of the court set-up being vested in all the Common Pleas Judges of each county.
 It is not expected that such Q change would result in either Judge McNiff or John McDonough being replaced in New Haven county on this bench.
 Legislative Briefs
