The fire started in a basement
storeroom about 5:45 a m. and
the first alarm was turned In at
5:5S a. m. that brought out four
engine companies. II minutes
later a special alarm was turned
in.
Two additional engines and a
truck were sent to the scene.
The cause Of the fire was
thought to have been faulty cleo
trical wiring.
Considerable damage was done
to the upper two floors by smoke,
although the fire was confined TO
the basement.
The hero of the fire was Jack
Tenant, Is year old CARRIER
salesman for the st. Paul Pioneer
PRESS, 37s Galtier, who was on
his way to pick up his papers for
delivery. He saw the flames shoot
ing out Of the hobby room window
and ran three blocks to the fire
station on Grotto and University
to turn In the alarm.
Officials said that young Ten
umit's quick thinking probably
saved the building from further
damage.
Because II was such an early
hour and Sunday the chances Of
getting to a telephone Immediate
ly were slight.
The hobby shop, television
lounge, chlldren's room and game
room, along with the furnishings
and equipment were virtually al
destroyed.
The only part Of the basement
to escape damage was the new
boiler room which was protected
by a firedoor.
Ten days before the fire the
building had been completely re-
decorated ana q new boiler In
stalled.
One OF the ironies Of the fire
was that safety had been stressed
during the decoration program
and new exits. panic bars and
! lighted exit signs had been install
led.
Mrs. Alice onque, director Of
the center stated that the re-
Spouse from the neighbors,
churches and other agencies offer
ing their aid and cooperation was
overwhelming, and most crafty

The office of the center has
been moved into the athletic

damaged by the fire.

Surprise Russian Move To
Give Back 1S6 Ships Spurs
Hope For Lease Settlement

WASHINGTON On - A surprise
offer by the Russians to give back
1856 American ships was regarded
by State Department officials to-
day as advancing negotiations for
settling the Soviet Unions II bill
lion dollar World War II lend
lease account.
Moscow made the offer Monday
in an unexpected renewal of ne
gotiations which have dragged on
more than five years. The ships
are among 67O turned over to the
Soviets by this country during the
war.
Mondays State Department
meeting was the first to take up
the Iong-standing dispute since last
August. It left the two govern
ments as far apart as ever on
other major issues. Officials said,
however, the proposal to turn back
some Of the vessels was at least
a step toward settlement.
The United States is expected
to accept the proposal but TO renew
a demand for the return of other
vessels.
In addition, . Russian group
headed by Boris ]. Karavaev,
temporarily in charge Of the Soviet
embassy. renewed an offer Of 300
million dollars for final overall
lend-lease settlement. This would
be their payment for al other
ships, and for machine tools. loco
motives and other civilian goods
still disable at VI Day.
The U. S., which Is asking 800
! million dollars plus the ships,
again rejected the offer.
The Russians turned down an
American proposal to submit the
dispute over the ships to the In
ternational Court. They had re-
jected earlier suggestion that
the whole lend-lease issue be left
to international arbitration.
The other major wartime allies
have long since settled up for left
over lend-lease goods, aside from
munitions. in accordance with their
advance agreements.
In negotiating with the Russians,
the State Department is following
the same principles which guided
settlements with Britain and the
other allies. These are that no
payment Is asked !. for lend.leasc
goods actually expended in the
common war effort. Payment is
asked only for the fair value OF
goods Of use to the civilian post.
