1858 supplemental appropriations
bill.
Favorable House action on the
committees bill is expected today
or tomorrow. It then goes to the
Senate, where quick approval also
Is expected.
LEAVE-The National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees has sent
a letter to each member of the
House and Senate, urging rejec-
ton OF the House Senate confer
ence report requiring Federal
workers to use their 1852 annual
leave by June 30, 1858, on penalty
OF forfeiting the unused portion.
The NFFE said a question OF
good faith was involved, since
Federal employees had been led
to believe when their leave bene-
fits were reduced last year that
at least they would be able to
accumulate leave without any re-
Strictions.
The Thomas leave rider will
undermine morale in the Federal
service. the NFFE declared. Its
enactment will raise a serious
question among employees whether
their other working benefits that
have been previously voted by
Congress, will be subjected at any
time to continued and perhaps ca
pricious harassment," the union
asserted.
Despite the NFFE's strong and
sensibly worded appeal, it's not
likely that Congress will reject
the conference report on leave.
But at least Congress can't say
that it wasn't given a clear pic
ture as to the mischief that the
leave accumulation ban rider will
cause.
VETERANS APPEAL S-The
Civil Service Commission has pro-
posed to Federal departments and
agencies that veterans appeals
cases be streamlined to avoid du-
plication of hearings. In a letter
to agencies seeking what they
thought of the idea, the commits
sion said the proposal is intended
to expedite appeals while max
ing sure that the rights of vet
erans' preference employees are
fully maintained"
Chairman Robert Ramspeck
asked the agencies to make their
comments known before the COM
mission puts the order into effect
around July Is.

agency officials to present all

State Chairman Sees
Eisenhower Ahead
OF Taft in Virginia
By J. A. O'Leory
Ster Staff Correspondent

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. June
27.-State Senator Floyd Lam
dreth. Republican State chairman
for Virginia, said here today that
Gen. Eisenhower is more popular
than Senator Taft in Virginia and
would have a better chance OF
carrying the State.
However. as the Ohio Senator
arrived here this morning. he ap-
parently has the substantial
majority of the delegates who have
committed themselves. Estimates
of his strength vary from II to
the Senator's own claim Of be-
tween II and 10.
Only one has spoken out for
Gen. Eisenhower, but an indefi-
mite number have not expressed
themselves.
Mr.. Landreth is not a delegate.
and said he has not committed
himself. He said he liked Senator
Taft and would do anything he
could for him. but would have to
admit that his mail and other
information reaching him reflects
Gen. Eisenhower's popularity.
Mr.. Landreth was a delegate to
the 1912 convention. when Sena-
tor Taft's father was engaged in
a similar bitter fight for renom-
ination against Theodore Roose-
welt. Mr.. Landreth said that at
that time most of the Virginia
delegates were for William How
ard Taft, except from his district.
He said he tried to keep the way
open for a compromise that year.
After meeting with Senator Taft
today, the 23-member Virginia
delegation is expected to name it's
member of the important Creden-
tials Committee to hear the con-
tests from Texas and other South
ern States in Chicago.
Senator Taft will wind up his
day in Virginia with a foreign
policy speech in the University of
Virginia Institute Of Public AZ
fairs tonight.

Questions arose today as to why
Government officials did not i'm
mediately recognize as a phony
the now admittedly false report
that Owen baltimore had OBJ
tanned tickets for a round-trir
fight to Moscow.
Extensive inquiries by The Star
make it clear that it is impos-
sible for any one to walk into a
travel agency in this country and
buy tickets for the Berlin Mos
COW leg of the journey Mr.. Latti-
more was reported to have ar
ranged. For a variety of reasons,
American agencies don't sell them.
A CHA report that such had
been done in Seattle on behalf OF
Mr.. baltimore was the basis for
the State Departments action
early this month barring him from
leaving the country pending a
complete investigation.
Not Thought Impossible.
Inquiry today established that
reported arrangements did not
strike Washington officials as i'm
possible because some illegal trav-
elers to Moscow in the past had
been known to arrange and pay
in this country for the Berlin
Moscow passage even though not
obtaining the actual tickets until
they got to Berlin.
The initial CIA report in the
baltimore case said tickets had
been paid for and forwarded to
him for a flight to Paris via Air
France, on to Berlin via British
European Airways, and from there
to Kiev and Moscow via the
Soviet airline Aero/Flot.
It was pointed out that the
report did not specifically identify
the Berlin Moscow tickets as hav-
ing been forwarded to Mr.. Latti-
more. Those dealing with the
matter assumed that the report
meant that the New York Berlin
tickets were involved, with the
Berlin Moscow passage only
booked and paid for with the
tickets to be picked up in Ber-
lin as had happened in other
cases.
There was no indication in the
CIA report, however, of any such
qualification. After stating fatty
that information received from
one of it's contacts was that Mr..
baltimore would leave on a trip
to Russia as per listed schedule,
the CHA report said his tickets
had been paid for and forwarded
to him and then merely listed the
Report Arrived May 26.
The initial report reached the
State Department on May 26. A
subsequent CIA report on June 10
identified its contact as an official
of a Seattle travel agency and
added that the tickets-again with
no qualification about the Berlin
Moscow passage-had been pur-
chased by a lawyer about April
20 and mailed to Mr.. baltimore
by the travel agency.
The Seattle travel agency Off
cial, who gave the information to
the CIA has since admitted to the
FBI that his report was in COM
plete fabrication. He faces a Fed
eral grand jury inquiry in Seattle
today through which the Govern
ment is seeking to establish what
was behind the whole affair.
There was no indication here a.
to whether the West Coast CIi
officials who took the informa.
ltion from the travel agency mar
raised any questions about whethe

Smoke and Heat Fell
20 Firemen al Blaze
In Ross|yn Warehouse

Intense heat and smoke felled
at least 20 firemen yesterday as
they battled a third floor blaze
in a Rosslyn warehouse in 10O-
degree temperature.
Ten ambulances and rescue
squads from the Northern Vir-
ginia area and the District were
called into service. Seven men
were treated at Arlington Hos
pital and all were released except
one. Three more were treated
and released at Emergency Hos

at 1923 Arlington Ridge road.
Plumbing and electrical fixtures
were stored in the building.
Cause Undetermined.
The cause of the blaze was not
Immediately determined. w. D.
Marshall, manager of the build
ing, said he thought it was started
by spontaneous combustion. He
declined to estimate the extent of
damage or the value of supplies
stored on the third floor.
A dozen pieces of fire-fighting
apparatus were at the scene and
a detail of Marines from Hender-
son Hall. near the Navy Annex,
was sent when the heat threatened
to wipe out the f1re-f1ghting force.
The blaze was not brought under
control for more than an hour.
Firemen said they were hampered
by the intense heat and heavy
smoke resulting from burning
cardboard and wooden boxes in
which the supplies were stored.
The fire was confined to the
third floor of the brick building
and at no time appeared to threat
