The Fire Department gave
the name of the lumber COM
pany as the Baltimore Lumber

said it was the Tri-State Lum-
Der Co, an affiliate Of the other

The actual scene Of the blaze
was Sixteenth and Dixie streets

The first alarm was called in
by Mrs. Jacqueline Butler, Sec

Mrs. Butler said her alarm call
was the last call to go through
her switchboard. Apparently,
she said, the line burnt out after
the one call.

American offer was designed 10

the West feels would give the

States and Britain hoped the

Workers Asked
To Stuy Home
Tomorrow

District officials said today
they would recommend to the
White House that Federal and
District employees again be en-
couraged tomorrow to stay
home and use their annual
leave unless their work duties
were absolutely essential and
they could use mass transpor-
tation facilities.
Engineer Commissioner Al
vim yelling said that it was
essential that the bulk Of en-
ployes again remain home to-
morrow. since the Districts
streets were in dangerous con-
dition and a mass influx of
employees would create chaotic"
traffic conditions.
The White House instructed
Federal agencies to be lenient
about releasing early this after
noon without charge to annual
leave the approximately 20 per
cent of Federal and District
government workers who braved
icy roads and streets to make
it to work today. Many agencies
indicated they would release
their employees at least two
hours before normal quitting
time.
Urge Leave Grants
Meanwhile. Federal employe
leaders asked that the White
House grant administrative
leave-not charged against va
cation time-to employees hav-
ing to stay home because of
the hazardous traffic conditions.
Representative Rees, Republic
can Of Kansas, the top minority
member Of the House Civil
Service Committee. said that
employees who stayed home to-
day should be given admins
trative leave and that those who
showed up for work today
should be given an extra COM
pensatory day of.
The American Federation of
Government Employees pro-
tested to the White House that
many employees misunderstood
radio and TV reports yesterday
and thought they were getting
the day off without loss of
leave. The AFGE urged the
White House to grant admin
istrative leave to everybody.
Called Within Right
A check with Government
personnel officials showed that
the White House or any Federal
agency head could grant ad-
ministrative leave to employees.
They pointed out that admin
istrative leave is sometimes
granted on a part-day basis
such as in today's early dis
missal Of Federal workers or
when important dignitaries
visit Washington. etc.
However. they also declared
that the White House is within
its right in recommending to
employees that they use their
annual leave and stay home.
Under the law, Federal agen-
cies have the authority to re-
quire employees to use annual

ditionS tomorrow.
Falling to S degrees at $40
am, the thermometer was
pegged for no higher than Is
today. Combined with bitter
wind gusts up to 80 miles an
hour, this applied an icy finish
to the big wee-end snowstorm.
Traffic and downtown activ-
ity were cut far below normal
by the decision to request all
but essential Government
workers to take annual leave.
Instead of the usual hustle Of
a Monday workday, the city
was reduced to a refrigerated,
almost inanimate metropolis.
Federal and District Govern
ment workers with non-essen-
tial jobs again were requested
to take annual leave tomorrow,
unless they have easy access to
public transportation. The
order was drafted by the Dis.
trict Commissioners and ap.
proved by the White House.
IL Deaths Over Weekend
Eleven Deaths over the week
end were attributed to the
weather, with chief blame
placed on the great drifts piling
up from this heaviest snowfall
in % years. Most deaths were
due to heart attacks and other
exertion in the freezing
weather.
Closing of all public and pa.
rochial schools in the area,
together with a Government
work force less than 20 per
cent of normal, eased the bur.
den of icy streets.
District officials meeting
throughout the day estimated
traffic downtown was Is to 20
percent of normal. But William
A. Xanten, charged with whip

with a 2,500-man force, looked
for more trouble tomorrow.
Worse Tomorrow, He Says
Il feel transportation will be
much worse tomorrow, perhaps
40 per cent of normal" Mr..
Xanten said. "a lot of Gov.
eminent workers will come out
because they can't afford to
lose more annual leave"
Officlals were doing their best
to discourage unnecessary traf.
nc. Engineer Commissioner
Alvin c. yelling, meeting with
Mr.. Xanten, urged everybody
without car chains to stay out
of the traffic tomorrow"
But he said he feared the
worst, that people would drive
anyway.
I'VE can handle more trafic
than now, but the problem is
how do you hold it from reach

said.

Mass transportation was
hampered not only by icy
streets, but snow and ice

was the responsibility of the

said. but he had been told that

By the Associated Press

President Eisenhower in q
new letter to Soviet Premier
Bulganin has suggested that
both sides work through "nor-
NAL channels" for an eventual
EaSt-West summit conference.
He described present efforts as
at an "impasse."
In what was in effect a reply
to Premier Bulganin's criticism

sonin. Paae A-s
Of Secretary of State Dulles,
Mr.. Eisenhower said any pre-
paratory work would. as far
as the United States was con-
cerned, require the participa-
ton of our Secretary Of State"
The White House made pub
lie today the text Of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's six-page reply to let
tiers from Mr.. Bulganin. It
was sent to Moscow Saturday.
Mr.. Eisenhower expressed
considerable puzzlement" in
view of Bulganin's proposals as
to what you think another
such (Summit) meeting could
contribute to a genuine settle
ment Of our problems"
Accuses Bulganin
He accused Mr.. Bulganin Of
demanding "the right to veto
discussion" of the proposals
Mr.. Eisenhower believes vital
to international peace.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he came
to this conclusion because Mr..
Bulganin has proposed and
insisted on discussing 10
topics. Mr.. Eisenhower in turn
suggested discussing eight
other problems to which Mr..
Bulganin has objected.
Mr.. Eisenhower said in ref.
erence to earlier exchanges:
II wrote that, If there were
to be q top-level meeting, I
would be willing to discuss your
proposals in good faith If you
would so discuss mine. Your
answer is that I must be pre-
pared to discuss your proposal,
but as regards mine there must,
you said, be unanimous agree
ment of all participants as to
the necessity for considerable
such proposals. In other words.
you demand the right to veto
discussions of the matters !
believe to be vital to peace"
Setting aside diplomatic Ian
-guage, Mr.. Eisenhower said he
deplored constantly mounting
accusations within the Soviet
Union" to the effect that the
United States is ruled by "ag-
gressive war-minded imperial
lists"
Cites Khrushchev's Speech
He cited Party Chief Nikita
Khrushchev's January % speech
in Minsk as IAN outstanding
example of such charges. :"
What is the explanation Of
such charges?" Mr.. Eisenhower
asked. They seem to fly in the
face of established history"
The President said he was
really amazed to hear Soviet
leaders who have never been
near this country contend that
there are Americans who call
for preventive war.
IF any such persons exist in
the United States" Mr.. Eisen-
hover said, II do not know Of
them, nor do I know of any

are supposedly eager to plunge
the world into war in order to
make financial gains"

for the Soviet Union to consider
these proposals:
