ATHENS-Capture of Italy's southern Albanian stronghold of Argyrocastron today touched off the wildest victory celebration of the war in the flag-hedecked streets of Athens tonight.

King George II, in smart khaki field uniform, appeared on the balcony of the Army General Headquarters and waved to the througs as a band paraded in the streets ahead of flag waving Greeks.
