Reporter Nearly Trapped
Inside Burning Building
By TOM BURKE

Reporters are supposed to be
nosy, but this one carried it too
far yesterday and wound up on
the inside looking out at a null
tiple alarm fire.
I'd arrived at the scene to
see black smoke towering over
the big apartment building and
soaring lazily over the nearby
Sousa Bridge and Anacostia
River.
Threading through a maze of
fire hose lacing the $500 block
of Minnesota avenue Sc, I
looked up and watched a small,
elderly man emerge from the
entrance of the burning build
| ing.
Enter SPRAYING Building
I met him at the end CT the
concrete walkway and learned,
as he wiped the smoke-drawn
tears from his eyes, that he'd
been in and out of the sprawling
building twice.
1.-THE fire started downstairs"
said Nelson Leitner, rs, a re-
tired plasterer. Come on, I'll
show YOU
It sounded like a good idea
at the time, and followed my
guide into the building, down a
fight of invisible stairs electric
power had been cut Off and in
to the blackened. smoke filled
labyrinth of the basement. :.
We walked to the rear OF the
basement and turned right.
Forty feet ahead were a half
dozen firemen. masked against
the smarting smoke. They were
attacking a partitioned storage
section in which the fire started.
Suddenly the firemen were
driven back by mushrooming
wall of smoke.
I questioned one of them
briefly.
Come on I said to Mr.. Lett
ner, 1--WE got to get to a phone. I"
you can use mine" he an
swered.
Looking at the advancing
smoke, protested mildly that /
could find a phone across the
street. My host and guide was
insistent, and I overcame the
feeling of doubt.
On the first floor, in the main
hallway. the sounds of men bat
ting flames above and below.
were muted. Mr.. Leitner led the
way down a pitch black corridor.
Come on" he called. Just
walk straight ahead"
| Cropping blindly, ! inched my
way 20 feet or so. Suddenly a
shaft of light from an opened
door pointed the way. Mr.. Lett
ner had unerringly found his
way home.
The apartment had a coy.
Ilived-in look. The unmistakable
smell of something good to eat
was in the air. 1t was hard to-
believe q raging fire was fast

Hearings to Decide
Daylight Extension
Savings Time
Fuvored Until
Late October

Proposed extension of daylight
saving time here from the last
Sunday in September to the last
Sunday in October will come be-
fore a House subcommittee for
public hearings either April
II or IL.
Legislation for this purpose
has been strongly urged from
several quarters, particularly the
radio and television industries,
because Washington now ends
fast time one month ahead Of
other major cities in the East.
The hearing will be conducted
by the House, District Judiciary
subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Harris, Democrat OF
Arkansas.
Earlier it had been expected
the hearing could be held before
Easter, April /, but several fac
tors forced postponement of the
hearing date.
Firing of Board Members
Meantime the Alternately Dis
trict Subcommittee on Health,
Education and Recreation agreed
today in executive session to re-
port two pending bills to the
House District Committee.
One of these would authorize
judges of the United States Dis
Itrict Court to remove any mem
Der of the District Board of Edu-'
cation for cause. Such authority
had been strongly recommended
by several citizens associations.
The bill, it was understood, was
mot aimed at any present mem
bers of the beard. But the citi-
zens' groups, it was explained by
William N. Mcleod. District
Committee clerk, had insisted
that since the judges by law ap-
point the board members, they
also should be able to remove
them for cause.
Birth Certificates
The subcommittee also re-
ported a bill to authorize q
system in the District for de-
layed reporting of births.
The District is the only area
under the American flag, it was
Explained. which has no system
to permit persons to get a birth
certificate for periods prior to
the time when such certificates
were authorized by law.
I The District Commissioners
would be authorized by the bill
to draw up regulations for the
purpose.
The subcommittee also agreed
to hold hearings later on legis-
lation to authorize increased an
nuities for retired teachers in
1.-THE District public schools.

Site Offered
For Branch
OF Virginia U.

A 150-acre tract at West
Springfield in Fairfax County
has been tentatively selected as
the permanent site of the North
ern Virginia Branch of the Uni
versity of Virginia. it was learned
today
John N. G. Finley. director
lof the University of Virginia
Center. said last night that an
announcement would be made
soon on selection of a perma-
Inent site.

dormitories by requiring that all
buildings be for instruction pur-
poses.
Clarence A. Steele of the
Bureau of Public Roads, a for.
mer president Of the Arling-
ton County Council of PTA.
heads the Advisory Council. He
said a decision on accepting the
offer may be made at an Ad-
Ivisory Council meeting next
Thursday.
The council hopes a temporary
isite can be found by September
to begin the two-year university
program. Extension activities
of the university now are carried
on in a house on the Washing
ton-Lee High School grounds in
Arlington. The center had
hoped to obtain Brandon School,
but the Arlington School Board
has announced it will need the
building next fall.
Funds to be Sought
Mr.. Finley said the governing
bodies of Arlington, Alexandria,
Fairfax County and Falls Church
will be asked for funds to start
the program and to construct the
first permanent building. The
1858 General Assembly will be
asked then to take over operation
costs and expansion.
Acceptance of donated site
was made possible by legislation
passed at the recent session of
the General Assembly.

positive evidence of arson but
that the speed with which the
fire spread was most unusual"
At first, firemen were able to
enter the building, wearing gas
masks and pulling hoses. But
heat and smoke soon drove them
out, and they had to direct water
on the building for hours before
they could re-enter.
