Governor Ribicoff Orders State's Woodlands Reopened Notes Easing Of Forest Fire Danger Harlford, May 13 Ribicoff today opened Connecticut woodlands which had been closed since May 2 because of the extreme forest fire danger. The governor lifted the ban after conferring with State Paris and Forest Commission Director Donald C. Mathews. The governor's order takes effect immediately. A dry spell of more than two weeks came to.an end during the weekend whicli brought .44 inch3s of rain, to relieve the tinder-dry conditions of the woods.

The lifting of the ban means that picnickers and Connecticut's 112,000 licensed fishermen may now go into the areas which had been forbidden during Ihc past 11 days. During the emergency, fishermen vycre permitted only in areas accessible by roads and they did not have to trek through woodlands. Ribicoff closed the woods May 2 after a series of. fires in tha state blackened hundreds of acres of woodlands. The governor said, however, that the "hazard is not completely eliminated" and he urged everyone to "continue to exercise John J.

Daly To Be Awarded Honorary Degree John J. Daly, a Naugatuck native and former City Editor of treme caution." Mathews reported that the danger was reduced during the weekend by rainfall which amounted to as much at .7 of an inch in the western part of the state. Originally, authorities said two inches would be needed.before the woods could "reopened. But Mathews explained that was the amount required for "absolute satcty under all circumstances." He noted that the latest weather forecasts call for showers late tomorrow afternoon with more rain likely on Wednesday or Thursday. Mathews added that growth of vegetation also had decreased the danger.

The woods were reopened following reports that there were no woodland fires in Connecticut yesterday, the first day in more than two weeks when firefighters could take it easy. Connecticut had as many as 40 fires in one day but Mathews said, "we were fortunate they were all confined and no homes were.damaged. All we lost was one garage." The closing of the woodlands also meant that no rubbish could be burned in open air. The extent of the ban brought increased pressure on officials to reopen the forests and some consideration was given to doing it yesterday. The forest lire hazard today was officially described as medi- the Naugatuck News, will be awarded an honorary doctor of letters degree at Hie 127th annual commencement ol Spring Hill College, Mobile, May 28.

Malone Issues Final Warning To Fire Truck Chasers Police Chiof Anthony A. Malone today issued a "final warning to "fire truck in the future arrests of persons who cause traffic tieups in traveling to the scenes of fires will be made.

Chief Malone noted thai the fire trucks themselves had trouble getting to the scene of a fire off Spencer street last night because of the traffic jam caused by curious motorists racing to Hie scene. Aside from the fact that fire trucks had trouble making their way through the traffic, volunteer firemen as well as police were slowed in their attempt lo get to the fire. Chief Malone pointed out that it would have been virtually impossible for the community ambulance to get to the scene had it been needed.

Pension Bill Referendum Opposed Mayor Adam Mcngacci said Ihis this morning that he will ask the Borough Board at ils meeting tonight to adopt a resolution urging! he Stale Legislature lo delete a referendum clause to the pension bill amendment now before the body in Harlford. The Mayor said Hint lie fcrls it is unnecessary to "burden the taxpayers with the cxpcn.sc of a referendum on a question which Ibelicve can be resolved without such expense," adding that lie felt referendum would "accomplish nothing." Only one part of the pension bill appears to he questionable, Mayor Mengacci said, Identifying that as tho section dealing with teachers' pensions. He added, that to his understanding, this section will have no adverse affect upon teachers' salaries. The bill to amend the pension act, presented by the former Republican administration, provides for hiring an additional 3G borough employes under social security. The Mayor said the measure appears to be one which will save the borough a considerable amount of money.

As originally presented, Ihc pension bill amendment contained no referendum clause, the Mayor said. This was tacked on shortly before the bill reported out of committee, favorably, lasl week.
