Blaze Sweeps
Apartment
On K Street
Unidentified Bodies
Found in Hallway
Of Second Floor

Two unidentified women were
burned to death this afternoon
in a fire which swept through
a four-story apartment build
ing at 1910 K street NV.
The two women were found
lying in a second-floor hallway
Of the building.
Firemen theorized that the
two were trying to flee the
flaming apartment house, but
were trapped by flames as they
tried to reach a stairway to
the first floor.
Miss Estelle Crawford, land
lady of the apartment house,
said there were five people
living in the building, in four
separate apartments. Miss
Crawford herself lives in the
f1rst-floor apartment. She said
flames broke out suddenly.
She said she had no warn
ing of the blaze before 1T
started sweeping through the
building.
Firemen said all the other
tenants escaped the building
safely. Capt. Norris Peterson

fered second degree burns
while fighting the fire, which
gutted the structure.
Miss Crawford said that be-
sides herself there were these
four people living in the apart
ment: Misses Emile and Ger
trude Legare, who lived on the
top floor; Miss Miriam Wag-
ner, about 80, who lived on
the third floor, and Mrs. Dollie
Gay. about so. who lived in the
first floor basement apartment.

From his personal command
post, Lagaillarde had sent word
that he was not able to receive
reporters. 1t was understand
able enough. With the barricade
area entirely ringed with regu-
lar army forces, Gen. Jean
Crepin had issued orders to the
army to take action" against
the insurgent stronghold. Ar

expected that night.
Negotiations Frantic
Meanwhile, it also was clear
that frantic negotiations were
in progress. Those conducted
throughout the day with army
commanders by the other in
surgent leader, Joseph Ortiz,

Power Calls
Plans for SAC
NotAdequdte'
u. S. Cont Be Sure
Of Its Strength in
Future, General Says
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star staf Writer

Administration plans for the
future strength Of the Strategic
Air Command are mot ade-
quate," Gen. Thomas Power,
SAC chief, told Senators today.
Gen. Power was the first
public witness in a series Of
hearings by the Senate Pre-
paredness and Space Commit
tees. The group is exploring
the controversy over new in
telligence estimates of Soviet
missile building and the ques-
tions of a missile gap and a
possible future deterrent gap.
LAS Of this very moment, "
Gen. Power said, "the Strategic
Air Command is the most
powerful military force in the
history Of the world. Our prob
lem is to keep it that way"
How much force the po-
tential aggreSSor thinks you will
have left after an attack is
what counts in deterrence," he
said.
Agrees With Johnson
He agreed with Senator
johnson, Democrat of Texas,
that present plans for a fu-
ture strength of SAC are in
adequate and that this country
cannot be sure that enough
of SAC would survive a future
missile attack to permit it to
be a good deterrent force.
Gen. Power said he stands
by his recent New York speech
in which he said 800 Soviet
missiles could knock out SAC
and in which he implied the
Soviets would have this force
before this country was pre-
pared to meet it.
Committee Counsel Edwin
Weisl pointed out that Defense
Secretary Gates told a Senate
committee yesterday that Gen.
Powers calculation was "un-
realistic"
Key to DIFFERENCE
THAT speech was submitted
for clearance for correctness,
policy and security to the De-
partment of Defense, the State
Department, the Air Force, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and the
Air Staff" Gen. Power said.
The speech was cleared, he said.
and Il still stand by every
statement in that speech"
The key to the deterrence
problem, Gen. Power said, is
warning time" Right now
SAC would have more than is
minutes warning of a Russian
bomber attack. A large per-
centage of SAC's heavy bomb
ers could be off the ground and

Cabinet Asks
DecreePoWer
For DeGau||e
Parliament Told
1t Is Necessary
To Insure Policy

PARIS. Feb. 2 (AP).-Pre.
mier Michel Debre today asked
the National Assembly for de-
cree powers to insure that
President Charles de Gaulle's
policies are followed in France
and Algeria.
He told an emergency As
sembly session there was rea-
son to fear civil war" in Algeria
last week in the French settler
uprising and the special powers
were necessary to avoid the
same thing happening again.
The cabinet wants the right to
rule by decree for IA months.
He said Justice will take over
the cases of those who were at
the origin of the actions" in
Algeria.
Shortly before Mr.. Debre
spoke, two more Assembly dep
uties were arrested on war;
rants charging attacks on the
security of the state, the charge
on which Deputy Pierre Lagail-
larde is held as the military
chief of the uprising.
Algeria Policy Stands
Mr., Dubre repeated that Gen.
de Gaulle's policy of self-de-
termination for Algerians. after
the rebellion has been put
down, is still the backbone Of
government policy.
I'VE must take all ambiguity
out of the policy of France"
he said. I'VE can succeed only
if those in responsible positions
and in the administration fol-
low the announced policy Of
the nation"
He said that pacification Of
Algeria must have first priority
but that it was indispensable
to reinforce the powers Of the
state to get obedience.
Mr.. Debre said the uprising
in Algiers was rapidly over
come, thanks to Gen. de Gaulle.
He said the nation owes much
to the President.
Different Methods Needed
Mr.. Debre said there was no
question of disturbing civil
liberties. However, he said, diff
ferent methods must be applied
in Algeria from those in
France.
The Assembly chamber was
almost filled and Mr.. Debre
was warmly applauded as he
walked in but the applause was
more reserved when he finished.

Saturns would have taken

One would have been fired in

an actual launching with a
payload could be risked.

 The capital improvement pro- gram outlined in the report in- cluded full participation in the Federal Aid Highway Program be- cause of the obviously great need for roads"
 Drastic Cut-Back In Road Funds
 However, as transition money runs out and the cost of match ing federal funds increases, the report said a drastic cut-back in road building Cmust bel cohsid- cred"
 The report estimated the total population of the state at the end of 1859 at about 190,000, in- cluding about 35,O0O military per sonnel.
 One of the major surprise pre- dlctions was a forecast that Alaska's population during the next six years would show a net increase of only about four per cent something like 5000 people during the entire period
 The Planning Commission was created by the 1859 State Legis- lature, and directed to report to this second session of the first state laWmaking assembly.

Russ Avoid Issues Of Lend-Lease Pay; U. s. Quits Talks

WASHINGTON, R - Soviet reaction to collapse of lend-lease repayment talks may provide a clue to Soviet intentions in other negotiations this sspring, U. S.. officials said Thursday.
 The United States broke off the talks Wednesday, It said the Soviet Union was insisting on getting U. s. trade and aid agree mepts as part of negotiations that were supposed to deal only with Soviet repayment for U. s. lend lease aid during World War II.
 No bitternes was expressed at the final session, and American authorities professed to see no big impact on other scheduled nego- tiations as a result.
 But some said that the viru- lence = or lack of it = in any Moscow effort to blame this coun- try for the impasse could give a hint of what lies ahead in a March disarmament conference and the scheduled May summit meeting.

feller made no mention of Nixon while praising highly Eisenhow- er's accomplishments.
 Eisenhower sounded the key note for the Republican cam paign by bearing down on the theme that his Administration had brought the country peace and prosperity without war.
 The President told a cheering audience of about 1000 persons that Democratic critics are wrong in contending that the Soviet Union has moved abreast or ahead of this country in military might. He said these critics are engaged in ''noisy trumpeting about dazzling military schemes"
 But it was his central theme of a balanced budget and private enterprise economy that drew IT of total of 23 bursts of applause from his listeners. They roared their approval when he said that some politicians seem to think mistakenly there is a "sanforized dollar" - one that won't shrink.
 Nixon told the Chicago audience - and this part of his address was not carried on the closed TV circuit - that because Eisen- hover has made what he called an outstanding record, the temp tation will be ito stand pat on what we have done, to be snug and self-satisfied about the past and to fail to meet the challenge of the future"
 His jaw jutting, belligerently, Nixon jumped into the argument with Democrats who have con- tended there is a missile gap be- tween the United States and the Soviet Union. He said it is time for critics in this field to "stop selling America short"
 "We are not a second rate country, with second rate military strength and a second rate econ- omy," he declared. Let us get these facts straight right here and now. No aggressor in the world today can knock out the deterrent striking power of the United States and its allies. This is the case today and it will con- tinde to be so in the future"
 Nixon seemed to promise, how ever, that if he becomes President more effort will be put into strengthening the nations mili- tary posture.
