PALOMBA GETS
 GOOD SUPPORT
May Be Nominated for City Court Judgeship; 'Deal'
 Under Consideration

Attorney Frederick W. Palomba member of the board of city taA commissioner Is receiving the backing of several Republican lead. CTS for 0 city court judgeShip ano is giving Judge Theohald E. Conway real contest for the post, accord ing to word at the State Capitol n Hartford. Two of the four members of the Republican state central eom- mittee from Waterbury are said to be backing the Palomba candidacy.
 Should Judge Conway be reap pointed, taken for granted as hes been until the past day or two, At torney Palomha may go into the city court as one of the prosecutors. The judgeshipp pays $S,000, while the prosecutorship pays 5000. MT. Palonba receives $3,100 Q year as tax commissioner.
 Chances of Attorney ,Palomba for the judgeShip are said to depend on the success of Q Ideal" which Demo- cratic and COP legislative leaders have been trying to work out ct Hartford. If the deal falls through and the appointments be left to the governor, the odds would be much in favor of Judge Conway's retefl- ton. Tho return of Judge John l.. daffney, Democrat, to the city court bench Is expected whether the ap- pointments are made by the legisla- ture or the governor.
 Appointment of Attorney Palomba as prosecutor, in the event Judge Conway Is reappointed, would de- pend on how successful local Demo- crats arc in their attempt to win both prosecutors posts for their party, along with Q judgeship, tho clerk and one each of the probation officers and interpreters. This would leave the Republicans with only q judgeship, an assistant clerk, Q pro- bation officer and on interpreter.
 Attorney Palomba was a candidate for prosecutor two years ago but the dominant group in the local Repub- lican party refused to accepjt him and designated Attorney Michael J. Galullo Instead. Attorney Qalullo has fallen into disfavor with the party leaders since he was ap- pointed, partly because he has won the antagonism of several leading lawyers and partly because he work ed against the COP organization and for the nomination of Patrick M. Perriello for mayor in the last city campaign.
 Friends of Prosecutor William K. Lawlor, Democrat, who was promi- nent in the Independent Democratic movement when he was named two years ago. say he has been assured by the city administration that 1t will support him for reappointment.

ASSEMBLY IS
 ON LAST LAP
Controversial Milk Bill Is Passed; Minor Court
 Patronage Remains

Hartford, Conn, May 24-tUP)- Legislative approval ot | compro. mise milk control reform bill today removed one of the major obstacles to General Assembly approval of remaining important legislation and patronage affairs.
 Both House and Senate approved a compromise milk bill late yester- day, and almost immediately lead- CTS of both major parties went into 0 huddle to prepare Q minor court judgeship slate. The group may meet today and tomorrow in on ef- fort to have c list of names ready for submission ct Mondays special session.
 Removal of the controversial milk bill from the calendars cleared the way to consideration of other major igelsiation in the final week and 0 half remaining for the l94i legisla- ture. Compulsory adjournment will occur on Wednesday, June {.
 It was believed now Gov. Hurley will send two additional superior court nominations to the assembly early next week. Tho way was clear cd for these nominations by senate confirmation of the nomination of Superior Court Judge Edwin c. Dickenson to the Supreme Court, and renomination of Judge Alfred 0. Baldwin to the Superior Court.
 The senate also approved the gov- ernor'S nominations to the superior court of Executive Secretary James E. Murphy and State Tax Comm!s- sioner Charles J. Mclaughlin. The House has not yet acted on these nominations, but was expecetd to do SO early next week, along with the governors public utilities comnais- sion nominations.
 Rollin U. Tyler, Haddam, mean time, requested Gov. Hurley to with draw his nomination for reappolnt- rnent to the State Board of Pardons, and the governor transmitted Q message to this effect to the senate.
 A bitter fight between Sen. Alfred M. Bingham, D., Salem, and several House Republicans began after Bingham charged the lower cham Der was in control of fable lawyers" from the small towns who guarded the affairs of big business.
 This accusation brought retort from Rep. Harold E. Mitchell, R., West Hartford, who said he would not answer because a reply would require me to get down as low as I think the person Is who made the statement"
 Rep. Charles P. Harper, R. Mid- dlebury, called Sen. Bingham 8 "fel- low traveller"
 The argument came up when the compromise milk bill was returned for approval to both chambers. The new version changes the controvers- ial appeals section. It provided that an appeal from the administrators order will not serve to stay the orr der, unless so stated by the court. It also provided that no new evi- dence will be heard by the courts, but if there was sufficient new evil dence to justify new trial under ordinary court procedure, the case would be returned to the milk ad- minivtrator for another hearing.
 The new milk bill sets . min- imum pSice to be paid by dealers to farmers. However, dealers cannot fix prcies to the consumers.

"Not So Good" Is British Description of Situation
 on Island
FIERCE BATTLE NEAR
 AIRPORT OF MALEMI
Vital Objective of Nazis Still Unattained; British
 Control Bay

BY EDWARD W. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, May 24. -- (UP) German forces holding the Malemi Airport in Crete have received artillery dropped by parachute and 1t Is probable that some German troops have succeeded in landing on the island from boats, 1t was said authoritatively today. Admitting that the situation at Malemi was not so good" informants said the Germans there had received achievements from the air throughout Friday and that planes had dropped artillery, prob- ably small field guns and mortarS.
 Land From Boats
 "Although there have been no big scale German sea borne landings In. Crete, 1t Is probable that odd dribletS, mostly in fishing boats (Caiques' and perhaps even Q small ship or two, have succeeded in dis- emharking," an informant added.
 British, New Zealand and Greek forces are holding positions east of the Malemi airdrome and fierce fighting is under way, 1t was said.
 Reports came from Cairo that the Allied troops were storming the Ger. man positions but authoritative statements here made 1t quite plain that the Germans were there in strength, and had strong positions.
 Can't Stop All
 As regards sea.borne troops, it was said that 1t was improbable that the British navy would be able to prevent every German vessel from reaching Crete In view of It's proximity to the Greek mainland and the larger number of German and Italian controlled islands in the area.
 It was obvious informants said, that the navy must be experiencing great dlfiieulties In contending with

AUTO PRODUCTION
 MAY BECURTAILED
Lack of Steel Seen Cutting Into Output of Many
 Manufactures

Washington, May 24 - (UP.) - Defense ofiicials predicted today that the rapid depletion of steel supplies for ships, tanks and guns will result in Q further curtailment of automobile production and the output Of refrigerators, stoves and hundreds of other consumer items.
 Many manufacturers, 1t was said, have complained to the Army, Navy and offace of production manage ment that lack of steel is holding up defense orders. Most serious Is said to be a shortage of steel plates re- quired in the rapidly expanding ship building program.
 The administration last February estimated that defense and civilian requirements could be met by @ 90,- 900 ,000-ton annual steel productive capacity but that figure has been revised upward to approximately l20 900 900 tons.
 The increase was necessary, in- formed sources said, because of exi- gencies of the lease-lend program. an anticipated national income of more than $l0o,000, 100000 for ls42, and Hitler's victorious sweep through the Balkans with the con- sequent continuing expansion of the nations armament effort.
 It was believed that, to offset the increasing shortages, the admins tration will call for an increase of the steel industry's productive ca- pacity to approximately 9S,000 900 tons annually. This step would be accompanied by channeling 22,0O0.- 900 tons usually allotted to civilian needs into the stockpile for defense.
 Automobile manufacturers already have been asked to curtail their le42 model production by 20 percent and defense officials arc considering e request for an additional 20 per cent cut.

COLOGNE AGAIN IS
 ATTACKED BY RAF
Boulogne Area Also Under Air Fire; London Has
 18th Raidless Nights

London. May 24-(UP)-British bombers made vigorous attack last night on Cologne, key city In the German industrial Rhineland, de- spite bad weather, the air ministry said today. Other German targets also were hit,
 Aircraft of the bomber command made a vigorous attack on Cologne last night despite bad weather" an air ministry communique said.
 Other planes, operating In some force, bombed the Boulogne area of the French invasion coast. Watchers along the Kentish coast heard the British planes racing over the Dover Strait and later saw vivid bomb flashes and German shells lighting the sky while searchlights sought the British craft. A stiff southwest wind muffled the sound of the ex- plosions.
 British planes had been active by day but the last raid of moment on Germany had been made on Kiel Sunday,
 German air activity over Great 6rltaln was very Sllgnt last nlgnt. The air and home security minis- tries said @ few bombs were dropped but little damage was done and that casualties were reported small.
 London spent Its 18th straight raidless night. The city had not been molested since the big raid of May 10, the night after Nazi leader Ru- dolf Hess dropped by parachute on- to cottiSh farm.
 Though bad weather had been blamed for lack of German opera tionS, and some experts suggested that the Nazis were preparing for another big raid, experts began to suggest today that the Germans were again changing their tactics and were preparing to resume large scale daylight raids.

 ..SUNK, NAYS SAY

Berlin, May 2. - (Up) - Ve,- man air forces sank three British destroyers, severely damaged threa others and sank five speed boal near Crete, the high command said today.
 Previously, official claims had been made that four British cruis- CTS were sunk by dive-bombers AA the waters around Crete although there has been no official report on the actual aerial invasion of the Mediterranean island.
 Today's communique said Colonel General Ulrich Garuert of the air force had been killed in carrying out military duties in the conflict against Britain. (The Luftwaffe has been reported by Britain to be suffering heavy casualties in crash landings in Crete, where Grauert might have been in action.)
