London, April 9-(UP)- German bombers made another savage at- tack last night on Coventry, town already so devastated that it's name has become synoriymous with aerial blitzkrieg.
 It was feared that there were many casualties and @ communique said that damage to the town was considerable" A school, hospital, homes, a police station, and a hotel were among the buildings bombed.
 Coventry has been mostly in ruins since the night of last Nov. 14, when great swarms of German planes made a concentrated. all-night ate tack on 1t, killing or wounding more than 1000 persons, 200 of whom were buried in one grave. Five nights later the raiders returned to deal more blows at the strick ,n town, once Q thriving center of mos

 It was reporteF that one of the raiders was shot down over Coven- try and another at Hertfordshire. Two crew members of the plane brought down at Hertfordshire were killed and the others were injured.
 There was an alarm at London and gunfire was heard in the out- skirts but no bombs fell In the city. Troops machine-gunned a low-fly. ing raider at Q Thames estuary town where c dozen incendiary bombs were dropped.

 Adolf Hitler's 72-hour Ball. kan blitzkrieg today cracked the entire south Serbian front and planted the Nasi Swastika on the Aegian at Salonika. Panzer divisions, racing across the mountain barriers from Bulgaria, swept into control of the whole Var dar Valley - chief artery of southeast Europe and connecting link between Jugoslavia and her Greco-British allies.
 The Germans were within 26 or 30 miles - at the most of ef- fecting juncture with the Italians In Albajia and thus bottling up the main Jugoslav army from oil di- rect connection with Greece.
 The success oY tng- 'uef,hans ia cracking through the southern Ju- goslav front appeared to outweigh. in It's strategic implications, the successful break through to Salonika.
 There appeared to be grave dane ger that the Germans might quickly reach Q position in northern Greece, near the Albanian frontier from which they could attempt turning movement against the line of de- lenses erected by the British along the west bank of the Vardar River and manned by Q picked force of possibly more than 100000 veterans of General Sir Archibald Wavell's Army of the Nile.
 British Not In Action
 These British troops have not yet gone into action. They have been held back, braced to meet the force of the Nazi attack after 1t had spent some of It's original strength against the staunch but futile re- sistance put up by the Greeks ct Rupel Pass and other points along the northern frontier.
 The crashing series of German DuCCSooVo AkA tAiG VHAdbk V&hSy BUVS them control of the principal rail- road of southeast Europe from Nish, Jugoslavia, to Salonika, Q distance of about 225 miles.
 From Nish they are in b position to thrust north In c pincers movement against Belgrade, coinciding with an attack across the flat plains of the Banat regions between Belgrade and the Hungarian border.
 From Nish, also, they can move against one of the Jugoslav govern. ment's temporary capitals, estab- liShed at Cacek, about 90 miles to the northwest.
 There seemed to be no doubt that the Germans would succeed in clos. ing the narrow gap that now sep. arates them from Albania west of the south Serb centers of Skoplje, Prilep, veles and Tetovo. At Tetovo they were only about 25 or 30 miles from the frontier, a distance which may already have been crossed by

MRS. EVA SMITH
 IS FOUND DEAD
ScOvill Street Woman May Have Been Dead for
 Several Days

The body of Mrs. Eva Smith, al- most 63 years of age was found shortly after l2 o'clock this noon by her niece, Mrs. Hazel Mahoney of 132 Scovill street, who notified the police headquarters. Assistant med- ical examiner, Dr. Harold Morrill, said that death was caused by a heart attack induced by the wo- mans recent illness. The woman may have been dead for several days. She had bon in Ill health for the last few years.
 Mrs. Alice F....;, 24, of l1S Sco- will street, a neighbor In the front house, said that she knocked on the kitchen door shortly before 8:30 O. clock last night but when she re- ceived no response, thought the wo- man had gone to bed. Shortly before l2 o'clock today she again knocked on the door but when she received no response, became alarmed and called other neighbors. Residents then summoned her niece and she entered the kitchen to find Mrs. Smith lying on the kitchen floor face downward. Lieut.. Edward Mo- Elligott, of the local detective bu- reau, was sent to investigate.
 Mrs. Smith has two sisters. Mrs. Ada Dodge, of 56 Johnson street and Mrs. Ever Sutton of Milldale. An- other brother Is said to be residing in Detroit but his name was not as- certained at press hour. Mrs. Ma honey said that she visited the wo- man a few days ago.

 Two more German bombers were shot down into the sea of the Welsh coast this morning making Q total of 10 planes downed in F hours.
 Eight German bombers were shot down by night fighters last night.
 Clouds dimmed the moonlight, in- terfering with the work of the night fighters. The moon reaches its full phase Friday.
 The attack on Coventry began about midnight. It continued brief ly, lulled, then was followed by a savage raid directed at the business section. A number of fires broke out but all were controlled soon aft- CT the last raider left. It was the heaviest raid on the town in months.

PRICE FOR COAL.
 MAY BE REGULATED
Attempt Being Made in All Cities, Towns of State to
 Stop Coal Shortage

Tn an effort to prevent Q coal shortage in Waterbury, as well as elsewhere throughout Connecticut, as a result of the threatened strike of coal miners, General Sanford H. Wadhams, chairman of Connecti- cuts State Defense Council, has called on all city and town officials for aid.
 Some time ago e national effort was promoted to fix a price ceiling on bituminous coal as of the March % prices and to facilitate passage of necessary supplies to those re- gions where they were most needed Through state defense coordinators local officials are now being urged to aid in the campaign to conserve coal stocks and to prevent any attempts at runaway prices.
 This was among several subjects discussed at Q conference held in Hartford yesterday afternoon, which was attended by Mayor Vincent Scully and Prank J. Green, secre- tary of the Waterbury Chamber Of Commerce. The mayor office to- day also had letters and telegrams from General Wadhams to aid in any price-freezing. ,

ITALY'S OLDEST
 PORT HAS FALLEN
Massawa Has Been Oc- cupied By British Troops;
 Seals Fate of Colony

London. April 9.-(UP)-Massawa, Italy's oldest colonial port, has been occupied by British empire troops, 1t was reported reliably here today. Massawa is the Red Sea port for Asmara, capital of Eritrea, which fell to the British last week.
 The reported fall of Massawa seals the fate of Italy's oldest col- ony, Eritrea. It virtually was doomed, however, when Keren and Asmara fell. But 1t was regarded here as antoher shattering blow to Italy's naval prestige since Mas sawa was Italy's oldest port in East Africa and had been her principal naval base in the Red Sea.
 The capture, the British said, fin- ally disposed of Italy's boast that she controlled the route through the Red Sea. At Massawa the British navy obtains Q valuable naval dockyard with a coaling and

charter revision bill was being oe- layed because of the failure of Cor poration Council J. Gregory Lynch to file several minor changes with the committee.
 A favorable report on the bill granting Q pension for life to Pri- vate Harold J. Parker of the Water bury fire department plus full coi11- pensation was sent in by the com. mittee today. This bill was substi- tute For an original measure which woulN have allowed Private Parker to retire on half pay. He was badly injured in a fire several years ago and has been disabled ever since. Only recently he underwent a1l- other operation and now has com plete disability of one leg and 50 per cent in the other.
 All but one of the bills introduced at thu request of Edward Udelowitz of Waterbury were reported unfa- vorably by the committee, The Dem- ocrat learned. The exception, which Chairman Sullivan also said would be returned with an iiiifaxorahla IT, port In 0 day or two, was the pill limiting the city to $500 ,000 on notes loated in anticipation of taxes.
 Among the Udelowitz measures which received unfavorable reports were those affecting minority ap- pointnents to city boards. Such ap- Dointments, under the Udelowitz bills, would have required approval by at least five minority members of the board of aldermen. Others in- rluded the bill placing the office of controller under the direction of the board of aldermen; making the of- lice of registrar of voters appointive Instead of elective; and requiring the city to levy special tax any year that there was not at least b2,5o0,000 in the treasury by Decen- Der l.
 A number of bills, for which no texts had been supplied, were also among those which were reported anfavorably by the committee. The ;luded in this group was a bill in-
