from a Chesapeake Bay duck
blind early yesterday after their
rented fishing boat overturned.
The two sisters. Miss Margaret

driver, and Miss Katherine
Brewer, %, of 1857 Eighth street

water shortly after 6 pm, Fri
day, and swan to the duck blind
nearby.
Their faint distress calls were
heard ashore at Thomas Point
at the mouth of South River by
Louis A. Stevens. who was pre-
pairing for bed after watching a
late television show.
He called police. who turned
a spotlight out toward the sounds
and spotted the two women mud

They had rented the boat at
Selby On The Bay in South

They returned to their home

returned to the Bay yesterday
afternoon to help in efforts to

100 Windows
Shattered by
Mystery Blast

More than 100 windows were
shattered in the $500 block of T
street NV. at about 1915 O'Clock
last night by a mysterious street
explosion that police believed
may have been caused by "a
bomb of some sort"
Although no one was injured
the blast tore a small jagged hole
in the street in front of 3516 I
street and knocked out one OF
more windows in every house in
the block.
Hundreds of neighborhood res
idents rushed outside to see q
pail of black smoke hanging ovei
the spot. Dozens of police anc
firemen were dispatched to in
vestigate the explosion anc
handle traffic tie-ups which fol.
lowed.
Mrs. EIDE Hove. of 1920 T street
said the conclusion was SO severe
Il was waiting for the whole
house to come down"
For more than an hour after
the blast. between 400 and 5OC
persons were milling about the
scene. Householders brought
out brooms to sweep up glas:
from the street, porches. yards
and sidewalks. Then most OF
them set TO work boarding uI
windows with cardboard OF
paper to keep out the cold.
Police were investigating a re-
port of a group of noisy teen
ayers in a car parked near the
scene shortly before the blast

5-AIarm Fire
Here Threatens
Industrial Area
NE. Blaze Bottled
BY 70 Companies;
Five Firemen Hurt

Five firemen were injured late
yesterday when a spectacular
f1ve-alarm fire roared through
a storage warehouse in North
east Washington, threatening
for a while to infiict much
heavier damage on the indus
trial area around the lexington
railroad yards.
The speedy action of 125 fire
fighters from 10 engine COM
panies and nine truck companies
was credited with combining the
flames to a three-story brick
building at 1910 lexington place
NE. There was no immediate
estimate of damage.
An investigation was launched
to determine the cause of the
blaze. with strong hint that
officials suspect arson.
In answer to a question, Fire
Chief Willard H. Sutton told
reporters he wouldn't be sur
prised" if a search would be
made for a firebug. First Deputy
Fire Marshall Charles Laschalt
said he was anxious to get into
the warehouse to hunt for clues.
Fire Feeds on Trash
The fire fed furiously on card
board boxes, waste paper, trash
and some used Office furniture
stored in the unoccupied struc-
ture. The firemen feared it
would spread to highly inflam-
mable and explosive materials in
adjoining buildings.
On the Florida avenue side,
separated from the burning
warehouse by an areaway of
less than Is feet, is the big
printing plant of Judd & Det-
weller, Inc, with large stocks
of inflammable inks and paper
and also explosive solvents. On
the north side of the warehouse
is the Penn Paper a. Stock Co. 8
two-story building.
If those structures had caught
fire, the entire business and in
dustr'al area might have been
imperiled.
All of the injured fire fighters
were treated at Casualty Hos
pital. They were identified as:

Gomu|ka Blasts at Misru|e,
Asks Independent Course
Khrushchev's
Flying Trip to
Warsaw Fails

WARSAW, Oct. 20 R.-
Wladyslaw Gomulka. new leader
of Polish communism, presented
the nation tonight with a virtual
declaration of independence from
the Soviet Union.
Mr.. Gomulka went before the
central committee of the United
Workers (Communist) Party with
a 2l2-hour speech denouncing
what he called miSrule of the
past IL years and calling on
Poland to set its own course to-
ward socialism independent of
of Moscow.
His statement broadcast by
the government radio showed
Soviet Communist Party Chief
Nikita S. Khrushchev on a flying
visiting to Warsaw yesterday had
failed to stem the drive toward
freedom from Kremlin control.
Announcement that Mr.. Co.
mulka has been named first
secretary of the party-top con-
trolling post-was expected mo-
mentarily.
Troops Take Up Posts
The tension that gripped the
capital for two days relaxed as
it became clear that Mr.. Co.
mulka. allied with Premier Josef
iCyrankiewicz and Party Leader
Edward Ochab. had won full
support of the nation against
the "anti-liberalization" faction
identified with Defense Minister
KonStantin Rokossovsky.
Rumors swept the city earlier
to-day that the ro-Moscow Ro-
kossovsky faction might attempt
"a coup d'etat if Mr.. Gomulka's
policies won the day.
Polish troops moved to protec-
tive positions in and around the
capital. Qualified observers had
no doubt they were there as pre-
caution against any such Mos
cow-inspired move.
Tonight the troops were re-
ported withdrawn and returned
to their barracks. The city was
completely normal, with crowds
in the streets as usual on a
Saturday night.
Attacks Soviet Economy
Mr.. Gomulka attacked the
Soviet-style economy. He de-
clared production on peasant
farms is 80 per cent higher than
on the state-run collectives.
Industrial policies. he said,
were riddled with mistakes. Mil
lions were spent on imported
machinery that Poland had no
use for. Production was stifled
in a tangle of bureaucracy.
Mr.. Gomulka went on to as
Isert that Poland's relations with
the Soviet Union and with Red
China and the other communist
countries must be those of
equality and independence.
He said Polish workers were
justified in the protests that pro-
.duced the June % Poznan riots.
He blamed the riots squarely on
the Communist Party's mishan-
ding Of workers complaints and
stated attempts to blame the up
rising on foreign imperialist
provocations" were false.
Rejects Soviet Demands
Mr.. Gomulka's speech made
clear that he had rejected the
reported demands by Mr.. Khru-
shchev that Poland move back
to the orthodox. Moscow dictated
Communist line for satellites.
/ There is more than one road
to socialism" Mr.. Gomulka de-
clared. There is the Soviet way.
There is the Yugoslav way. And
there are other ways"
/ The Polish government Of the
last few years. he said. has not
dared to tell the people the truth
about the drastic failures Of its
economic policies which now
must be changed.
