The FBI in Chicago and state police at Effingham denied a published story that they were investigating an arson report.

However, the hospital believed there were 124 and staff the institution, operated by the Catholic Order of St. Francis, when the fire broke. The number of survivors was estimated at 55 toy the Red Cross.

Firemen said most, of the survivors suffered in some degree from burns or smoke, but only one was reported in critical condition. Among the known dead were two nuns, the hospital's chaplain, and three nurses. Inspectors from the Illinois State fire marshal's office, headed by Chief Pat Kelly, investigated. Fire Chief Fred Wilkins of Effingham said he would cooperate with inspectors in an attempt to determine cause of the fire. Maurice Rickelman, Effingham county state's attorney, declined comment when asked if his office planned an investigation.

'Wilkins said he discounted a report that leaking gas caused the blaze which sent flames racing through the old structure with such speed that scores, of patients were Wappcd in their rooms. Many of the patients were believed to have perished without a chance to leave their beds. No Explosion Wilkins said there was no explosion preceding the fire. The blaze was believed to have started in a laundry chute. It sprpad to an elevator shaft and quickly enveloped the entire structure.

"The flash fire rolled through the hospital building like a bowling ball rolling down the alley," Wilkins said. "It was beyond control in a very few minutes." There were many heroic rescues. Scores of persons rushed to the hospital to aid nuns and nurses in attempted rescue of patients. Many battfed flames in their attempts to get patients from the burning build nig. An uncstimated number died in leaps.

Effingham, stunned by one of the worst fire disasters in Illinois history, planned a day of mourning tomorrow.

Yanks Must Remain In Europe, Army Day Speakers Assert By the Associated Press American troops must be sla tioncd in Europe even after the oc cupntion ends, former underscore tary of the army, William H.

Dra per, indicated today. In an Army day speech, Draper enlarged on the statement made last night by Gen. Bradley, Army chief of staff, that the U. abandon the continent to any aggressor. "If western Europe is to be defended from attack," Draper told a St.

Louis audience, "we dare not accept a strategic plan that relies on air bombardment alone, "Our strategic plan must envision a retention of strength on the continent of Europe. This calls for an (American) army." While he did not say how long this country should keep ground forces in Europe, strategic planning usually is long-range. His remarks about strategy paralleled those of Bradley almost exactly. Bradley said in a New York speech; "Strategically, the North Atlan tic pact would enable free nations of the old world and the new to funnel the great strength of our new world to the ramparts of the old, and thus challenge an enemy where he would transgress. "It most be perfectly apparent to the people of the United States that we cunnot count on friends in west ern Europe if our strategy in the event of, war'dictates that we shall first abandon them to the enemy with a promise of later liberation." In Washington the general's call for "common defense" of western Europe's borders brought fresh Sen ate demands for estimates on the cost of re-arming the pact mem berg.

The general was Army ground force commander in the Normandy invasion, and later led the million and a half combat troops which crashed through the German lines. Other speakers and other cele brations today in dozens of cities proclaimed the achievements of the Army and explained its many mis sions. This may tie the last "Army Day" celebration. The national military establishment is studying suggestions that, in the spirit of unification, it might be to abandon the separate "days" for the Army, Navy and Air Force and observe a single day for the combined armed forces. Navy day is observed o.n Oct.

27. Air Force day ialls' on Sept. 18. Army day was founded in 1928 by the Military Order of the World War, officially recognized by act of Congress in 1937.
