The 200 men were from the 109th and 110th Infantry and were directed bv First Lieut. William Tate. Guards had been posted to patrol the smouldering area dur ins- the nisrh'. Shortly before 10 a. m.

Fire Crew 83, of the State Department of Forests and Waters, located at Marysville, arrived on the scene to direct the efforts oi the soimers. The fire crew was equipped with spray tanks and brush axes and attempted to halt the flames by starting backfires farther to the northeast The flames were spreading east and north. State Game Refuge No. 8 is just south of the burning area but was not endangered, the firefighters said, because the wind was blowing in the opposite direction. The Fredericksburg Fire Company was also helping fight the blaze today.

The outlook for the immediate control of forest fires that broke out over the week-end in Central Pennsvlvania sectors appeared to be more favorable today although hundreds of men were still at work trying to check spreading flames in several widely-scattered areas. In addition to the fire along the Lebanon-Berks County border, there was also a threatening blaze on Shade Mountain in Juniata and Snyder Counties. Two soldiers were treated at an Indiantown infirmary for slight iniuries suffered at the fire. They were Kenneth A. Weber, Erie, headouarters detachment of the 112th's second battalion, who suf fered a possible fractured rib when he fell on a rock and Joseph not- lansky, of the 111th infantry, who was overcome by smoke and suf fered minor burns.

C. G. Gebhart, fire warden from Fredericksburg, said he believed yesterday's fire started from a small brush fire near what is known as Camp Strouse, at the foot of Blue Mountain, about ten miles north of Lebanon. Wirt reported that other major fires were still burning in the Poconos. One of these had ruined 1500 acres of timberland, and a second covered about 1000 acres Another fire was reported in Favette County, where more than a thousand men, including trout fishermen and fire departments from several communities, joined in fighting the flames.

Wire said it appeared yesterday was an average day for forest fires, with 125 to 150 burnine. Scores of men battled the Shade Mountain blaze, which started on the north side in Snyder County and spread over the mountain top into Juniata County. fire wardens reporting to George H. Wirt, chief of the division of enforce ment of the Forests and Waters Department, said they feared the flames would destroy approxi mately 1000 acres of wooded land Fall in Mercury Ends Heat Wave From Page One morning was 54 and the minimum tonight will be about 46. Clear and cooler weather is forecast for tomorrow.

The high temperatures yesterday sent thousands out-of-doors seeking relief. The first appreciable crowd of the season was noted at the Municipal Bathing Beach, where more than 100 persons were on hand to take a dip in the still chilly Susquehanna or to loll in the sun. Scores more were on the river in canoes, motorboats and sailboats. The wind, which rattled windows, knocked over signs and picked up clouds of dust, whistled through the city most of the day. One gust felled a tree in Shoop street near Fourteenth street and it was hauled to the side of the street by a police patrol car.

Many trees were shorn of branches. The high temperatures over the week-end shoved the excess for the month to 196 degrees. Old Sol did himself proud yester day by shattering three Harrisburg Weather Bureau records. First, the maximum of 92 provided the record book with the highest mark of the season. Secondlv.

it established 9 new high for the day, and thirdly, it contributed in creating the highest mean temperature for the day since 1896. The previous high for April 20, was recorded in 1915 and 1938 when the temperature reached 85 degrees. The original highest mean temperature of 75 degrees was registered on April 20, 1896, as compared with yesterday's mean temperature of 76 degrees. The spree of record-breaking really started on Saturday afternoon when the temperature zoomed to 91 degrees late in the day. This figurci provided a new high for the day.

The maximum of 92 yesterday, incidentally, came within one degret-of equaling the all-time April maximum, recorded on April 25, 1915. But relief from the scorching weather came quickly last night on the heels of strong winds that reached a velocity of forty miles hour in gusts. The temperature bean falling with a shift of the winds to the west, although anticipated rain was sidetracked, its cooling effect was felt in this section. Trial of Cvek Is Postponed NEW YORK. April of George Joseph Cvek, 23.

of Bressler. cnargea with strangling Mrs. Catherine Papas last February 4, is From Page One Leroy S. Fales declared it was "the most disastrous day in the state's history of forest fire-fighting." Red Cross officials rushed aid to stricken communities as forty-five major and minor blazes reached through Atlantic, Burlington, Gloucester and Ocean Counties. Draftees fought to push back flames which crept toward the huge Army post at Camp Dix.

Worst hit by the fire was Lake-wood where flames 200 feet high leaped rivers and highways to roar through the city's so them section. Property owners counted damage of $2,000,000 in the section with 168 buildings razed. One man died of a heart attack there. Wind Shifts. Save Town A shift in the wind saved Northern Lakewood from destruction and possible injury to week-end guests who swelled the normal 8500 population to 40,000.

Second worst danger spot was the Taunton-Medford lakes region, where a dozen towns were encompassed by flames. A second shift in the winds brought the fire to within a half mile of Medford and its 1000 homes. At Lake Pine many of the 100 cottages and Summer homes were reported in ruins, and a score of houses were demolished at Taunton Lakes. Other blazes were reported in Glassboro, Pleasantville, Egg Harbor, Williamstown, Sicklers-ville and Mays Landing in South Jersey. Fort Dix soldiers sped to various fronts in armored scout cars, trucks and "blitz buggies" to work side by side with CCC campers and sailors and marines from the Lake-hurst naval air station.

They helped save Cassville, a town near the camp, by thi use of backfires. Firemen were called into the stricken zones from as far distant points as Newark, Atlantic City and Camden. Week-end visitors and curious spectators thronged the highways, adding to confusion caused by a "smoke black-out" over a wide area. Churches were thrown open to receive and feed the homeless, while the Red Cross set up canteen trucks. Ambulances were busy-picking up fire-fighters and residents exhausted or overcome throughout the day.

Large Sectors Swept by Fires From Page One age running into the millions of dollars, reports from all six states indicated the majority of blazes were under control at an eany hour today. Th most damazinff blazes oc curred in New Jersey, where the state forest service reported mat forty-five raged during the day, five being of dangerous proportions. Authorities were investigating reports that some of the fires were incendiary. Roaring over the Jersey wood-lAnds. the fires laid waste to an estimated 120 square miles, destroyed approximately 200 homes in the Lakewood-Lakehurst areas and ravaged the state to points south of Atlantic tity.

Property damage in New Jersey wn rennrted in the vicinity of $3,000,000. One man was dead and of the thousands who pitched in to stop the sweeping fires, scores were injured. Dozens of small fires still crackled through the timber- lands today. In New York state, eignt ures palled "prinn" bv the conserva tion department, raged in Rock land, Orange, and kullivan counties.
