CHECK SAFETY
CONTINUED from Page IL

Proclaimed officially by President
Eisenhower and Governor O'Neill, the
national program is an effort to
arouse the country to awareneSs of
the enormous loss of life, time and
money through fires each year. Since
most fires can be prevented by safety
measures, children and grown-ups
alike are urged to cooperate in the
program.
Statistics show that more than 800
American homes per day go up in
smoke. About 1O,6O0 persons will lose
their lives in fires this year, and
property loss is expected to exceed a
billion dollars.
Major cause of fire is carelessness-
with matches and smoking, while
misuse of electricity is second.

Army Missile Shot 400 Miles Into Florida Sky

WASHINGTON, tP,-The Army was reported today to have fired some 400 miles into the sky off Florida a missile whose nose re turned to sea level without being consumed by heat.
 A solution to the problem of re- entry of the atmosphere was said to have been tested successfully in a missile firing which took place in the pre-dawn hours last Thursday at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla.
 The missile vehicle was com bination of several rockets and mechanisms involved in the Ar my's Jupiter missile.
 The rocket-powered test mis- sile reached an altitude of about 400 miles, attained a maximum speed of about 12,00O miles per hour and traveled about 1,200 miles southwest from Florida be- fore landing within a quarter of a mile of where military engineers planned it to land.
 A major problem facing long range missile men has been to develop materials to withstand the tremendous friction heat that would be generated as the mis- sile's nose plunged from attitudes where there is virtually no oxy- gen back into the heavier atmo-
 sphere of the earth.

House Appropriations Committee
 Ignores Presidents Warning, Cuts
 More Millions From Foreign Aid

; WASHINGTON, R,-The House Appropriation Committee yester- day slashed S8O9,65o,OOO from for eign aid funds just as President Eisenhower made a new plea his third this week-for more money.
 A White House statement said Eisenhower, lin the conviction that the national interests of this country are deeply involved,' hopes the cut will be restored. It had beep~ voted Wednesday by subcommittee.
 In less than an hour the full committee stamped approval on the subcommittee action.
 Eisenhower's statement wasn't formally directed to anyone in particular, but Press Secretary Hagerty said 1t was aimed at the full committee
 That group, however, appar- ently acted without knowledge of the presidential action Rep. Wlgglesworth R-Mass) said no letter or communication was re- Aceived from the White House
 Rep. Passman D-L0, chairman of the subcommittee which made the original cut, said no attempt was made yesterday to raise the figures. He said the funds ap- proved are enough to last the program for 215 years if no more money is provided"
 In it's final committee form the measure allows $2,524, ,76O,0O0 in new money for the overseas pro- gram in the year which started July l. With a carryover of $667 million from previous appropria- tions, this gives Eisenhower $1,- 288, 100000 less than he first said was needed.
 The sequence was about the same as Wednesdays.
 Then Eisenhower in a special news conference, session such as he has never held before, ap- pealed for all of the $3, 367, ,O83, ,OO0 which Congress had set as the ceiling in an authorization bill he had just signed. That figure itself is half billion less than Eisen- hover originally said was needed.
 Eisenhower served notice he will call a special session of Con- gress to get more money if he finds US. interests are endan- gered by the lack of needed funds.
 Sen. Knowland held last-min- ute strategy session with Presi- dent Eisenhower today and re- ported later they both hope to get back in the Senate a substan- tial part of the $809,65O,OOO the House chopped out of foreign aid funds
 As finally passed by the House last night the measure provides $2,524,760,OOO in new money, Eli senhower had sought the full amount of a previously passed authorization bill: S3,367 ,000, ,O00. In the teeth of third Eisen- hover warning that the cuts would tamper with Americas na- tional interests, the House over rode all moves to boost funds in the committee-approved bill. The vote for final passage: 252-13O.
