Kennebunkport, Oct A forest fire raging at the whim of a changing wind ate Into the streets of this town ot 1,000 today, destroying 200 homes, two hotels and a grade school. One man was dead.

Three were missing. The advance, of the fire through Kennebunkport was checked temporarily. Oor. Horace A. HUdreth flew to take command of the fire units from three states fighting the flames that already hare caused damage estimated unofficially at $500,000.

The Governor ordered out the Na tlonal Guardto police the devastated area. Police reported vandals were looting homes evacuated by farmers and townsfolk. Fire Chief John F. Eldridge, who collapsed after 24 hours of fireflght-Ing, said the fate of the town depended Upon the wind, direction. "If the wind blows toward the sea, we'll be all he said.

"If it blows In toward the town we'll be right back where we started." Some 1,000 men dug in along School Street, about a half-mile from the heart of the town, In an attempt to hold the fire at that line. "That will be our main line of defense," Road Commissioner Clifford Maling said. "We have to hold it there. If it Jumps School Street the rest of the town will go." Roads were clogged with farmers and townspeople fleeing ahead of the fire that roared through the drought parched forests around this resort community. Kenneth Roberts, author of "Northwest Passage" and other historical novels, said that from the porch of his Kennebunkport home "the entire horizon was red with roaring flames." "There are caravans of people fleeing with their clothes and, household goods," Roberts reported.

"My house is on the far side of Kennebunkport and so far hasn't been threatened by the flames, but we have our hose out and we're ready to fight the fire if we have to. "The fire almost Impossible to get at because It Is moving through the upper branches ot the trees. AM much as 10 minutes behind the tree-top flames is another slower-moving ground fire. And both are going like Hell." Some 500 persons were evacuated and' a Red Cross relief headquarters was et up at the Narragansett Hotel where 200 persons were being cared for. The flames destroyed the Noonan grade school and two summer hotels in the Cape Porpoise section of Kennebunkport.

One hundred homes and cottages In the town proper, 40 out lying farmhouses' and 60 summer cottages were leveled. In 24 hours the tire had devastated 27 square miles, leaping bacx and forth over roads and highways as the wind shifted from east to south.

Accused By Russian Delegates 22 U.R). Andrei Zhdanov, chief Uuislan delegate to tle conference at which the nine-country Communist organltatlons was set tip, was quoted today as accusing the Vnitort State of establishing bases throughout the world and' trylug to partition Germany in a "policy of preparation for new military adventrrcs." Units, organ of the Italian Commfl nUt, party, published the text of an spech by Zhdanov to the conference" in Poland. R'issia, he ald, sought a unified, demilitarized and democratic Germany. Ha, charged the western powers with trying to partition Germany. 'The realization of this policy Is In new conditions created when America broke with the old policy ot Roosevelt and passed on to the new policy of preparation for new military adventure" he said.

Zhianot, ruember of tne all-powerful foviet Politburo and one of the rankiig secretaries of the Communist party, accused the United States of betraying wartime nledges, trying to Isolate Rueela, and encouraging who "are preparing plans for organlrlng as rapidly as possible a preventative war against the IT." S. It." He also charged that the United States wag rslng the Marshall plan as a tool to make Europe subservient tt Vnr-rlcnn imperialism. -Describing Russia as the ''directins force and spirit of the! military crusher of Cermany and Japan," Zhdanov said the United States "took part only In the last phase ot the war, when the outcome already was decided." DEMOCRATS ANSWER CHARGES BY KELL (Continued From Page One.) vlded the Republicans are voted into office, Judge Laird said, "Why didn't Kell when he "was county commissioner have the Juvenile home built at George's Station? When I attempted to arrange with him to go on inspection trips to view modern juvenile homes in different sections he wouldn't go. He put me off. He was always too busy." i Judge Laird also defended the tax records which Kell attacked and said' that the only taxes charged against the people of Westmoreland county are the ones returned by the tax collectors.

County Controller Len Keck told the meeting that the statements made in county news-papers yesterday by Kell "Are not the truth." "The record hurts," Keck said, adding that when the Democrats took office In 1936 there was only $112,000 In the treasury to run the county government from January 1 Jo July 1 and that It was necessary to borrow to meet the payroll and expenses. "All that has been paid back." Keck stated. Keck again- pointed out that the county government has cut the mill-age from eight and one half to the present seven mills' and be criticised Kell for stating that the rate should now be five mills. How can a man who has not bean In the court house since 1941 tell you how he can operate on a five-mill tax. "If he can he is a miracle man," Keck added, also defending the present cost and delinquent tax Bystem and declaring that within five minutes any delinquent tax payer can be advised of what amount he owes.
