The new treaty proposal is

Russia has staunchly refused

The United States has indi-
Gated to Russia it can accept
as few as seven on-Site inspec-

clear tests are being conducted

Premier Khrushchev repeated
yesterday the Soviet Union will
allow no more than two OF
three inspections a year inside
Russia.
He has offered to allow three
unnamed Seismic stations on
Soviet territory but the United

furniture factories turning out
toys as a Sideline.
Plans are now being pro-
posed for a centralized "toy
trust" to plan and oversee ev-
erything from design to distri-
button. Another call is for more
competition. Like so much of
the Soviet economy, the toy in
dustry suffers from lack of in
centive. Nobody cares enough
to try hard.
Rather than spend money on
toys, many Soviet parents with
narrow budgets prefer to give
their offspring useful" items.
Among teen-agerS in particu-
lar. athletic equipment, skates,
skis, soccer balls and fishing
tackle are present in greatest
demand.
Children's World also does
considerable business in, musi-
cal instruments, mostly balalai-
kaS, guitars and accordions.
Camera equipment also is
popular.

dar, the time for gift distribu-
ton Is New Years Day which
is also a legal holiday. But sew

cold wave here that has gripped
much of the Nation. The mer-
curry dropped to is degrees this
morning, nowhere near the pre-
diction Of near zero, and will
rise to only 80 degrees today.
Tonight's low should be IS
degrees in the city and S in the
suburbs.
Clear and cold with a slight
chance of snow is the predic-
ton for Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day.
The cold spell brought the
first ice skating of the season
to the area, aside from Kinks.
Skating is now permitted at
the Aquatic Gardens on Kenil-
worth avenue NE, and some
people were skating on upper
reaches of the Gao Canal. Park
Police were waiting for 4 inches
OF ice on the Rejecting Pool
before allowing skaters there.
Other sure signs of the
Christmas season were the traf-
tic troubles in shopping dis
tricts and the crush of holiday
travellers at plane, train and
bus terminals.
The vanguard of the exodus
from Washington to points else
where has already begun In
earnest, with thousands taking
annual leave from the Gov
eminent and other jobs to get
out OF town for the holidays.

Outlook for Christmas
Is Frigid but Not White

Prospects that the Washing

Christmas dimmed today.
The Weather Bureau, which

says only a bare possibility
remains for new snow between
now and Christmas Day. But
clear, very cold weather will
guarantee that Washington
does not observe a shirt sleeve

Winter arrives officially at
'9:02 am. tomorrow, which is
the winter solstice-the time
at which the sun reaches its
Southernmost point in the sky,
This is the stage at which the
earth comes closest to the sun,
but at such a DETECTION that
the sun gives most of its
warmth to the Southern hemi-
sphere.
Thus, today and tomorrow
will be the shortest days of
the year for those in this lati-
tude. The sun rises at 1928 am.

HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 81
(AP.-The 2,300-ton French
freighter Douala sank today
about IS miles southeast of
Burgeo, Newfoundland, shortly
after her 90 crew members had
crowded into two lifeboatS in
mountainous seas.
The Royal Canadian Air
Force said two vessels and two

area. but that huge waves,
high winds, and blowing snow
made rescue attempts difficult,
The captain of the Douala
earlier radioed the ship was
going down fast and that the

vessel sank shortly after noon

The federal icebreaker Sir
Humphrey Gilbert and the
coastal vessel Tavener were in
the area, but had not sighted
the lifeboatS.
