Passman D-Lal told new , members of Congress today to look out for heavy pressure from ; supporters of what he called "fantastic amounts" for foreign aid. ; Backers of the overseas assist ance program were talking, mean while, in terms of a billion-dollar increase in aid funds. They con- (ended a vigorous foreign aid pro- srani is particularly important at ; this time to offset the expanding Soviet program of help to under . developed nations. Passman is chairman of the House Appropriations subcommil- full by the Fire Probers Plan Report ; OKLAHOMA CITY APi-A . report was promised today . alate arson investicainrs nn 1 blaze which destroyed a convales. cent home for retarded and crip pled children. Five were killed and a sixth se riously burned in the blaze Thurs- day. Chester Stringer, head of the State Crime Bureau arson dcpart ' ment, sajd the blaze may have been started by a youngster's cioming calcmng fire. An investi gator, Kyle Morehead, said he be- nevea one oi tne children was playing .with matches and his clothing caught fire but Stringer taid that is still being checked. Meanwhile, the parents and oth ers responsible for the 17 surviv ing children pondered the young sters' fate. The fire was discovered about ' 7:30 a.m. by Mrs. Mary Flake, 54, who operates the home with her sister Mrs. Margaret Prince. 60. The two women rushed upstairs and with the help of a neighbor man and two passing motorists - managed to get some of the youngsters outside. - Three city children's homes took in the survivors temporarily. A social worker said the destroyed . home was the only one of its kind - in the city area. Most of the chil dren are invalids requiring full- - time care.

In recent years his subcom mittee has made sharp cuts in President Eisenhower's money re quests, but Congress has refused to go along with the full cuts. . He sent letters to all new mem bers of the 86th Congress saying they probably will find that "the propaganda for fantastic amounts for foreign aid may equal all the pressures you will be subjected to on all other issues combined." Passman's letter was prepared before administration officials re ported informally on their plans lor next year s program. the tentative plans call for be tween $4,200,000,000 and $4,300,000,- 000 of new foreign aid funds .for the year starting next July 1. Congress this year appropriated $3,300,000,000 after cutting 600 mil lions Irom the amount Eisenhow er requested. The new program puts more emphasis on economic aid, and somewhat less on military assist ance. Passman told the new congress men that when the foreign aid program was begun in 1948 it was to have been completed in five years at a cost not to exceed 13 billion dollars. But now, he said, the program Is 11 years old "andl becoming more uncontrollable each year." He estimated the cost to date at 82 billion dollars. o o o o TWO GILCHRIST Marines completed reqruit training last week at the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot. They are Isaac" A.

Thor Missile Termed Ready WASHINGTON (AP) - The Thor missile, already a useful booster for space probes, is about ready to assume its primary func tion as an intermediate ranga ballistic weapon. Some of the missiles already have been sent to Britain, where they are to become operational next month. A Royal Air Force Thor missile squadron is under going training in this country. Under a U.S.-British agreement signed last February, four Thor squadrons with 15 missiles to a squadron are to be stationed in Britain as a defense against surprise enemy attack.
