(CP) -- Four children died early Sunday when fire hit a three house here while the 17 occu- pants were still sleeping. Seven other persons were burned, three of them severely. Two of the children died when they wandered back into the house in bewilderment after be- ing led to safety. A third died when his father dropped him when they became enveloped in flames. Dead are Sylvia Morton, 2, Trudy Morton, 8, James Bay- liss, two months, and Wendy Homer, 5. Three familes shared the house. Firemen extinguished the fire, blazing throughout the house, within 15 minutes of their ar- rival. One fire official said he could not understand how it burned undetected so long with the number of people in the house. Mrs. Donna Homer said she took her daughter, Wendy, and Trudy Morton to the safety of a porch roof. When she returned for more children, the fright- ened little girls followed her into the smoke-filled house. HEARS SCREAMING "They got back in, I didn't know they were there," Mrs Homer sobbed at hospital where she was treated for shock. "Then I heard them screaming . . there was so much smoke . . . I couldn't do anything." Sylvia and Trudy were the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Morton. James Bayliss, the Morton's grandchild, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tho- mas Bayliss. Susan Morton, 10, and Mr. and Mrs. Bayliss are In serious condition in hospital. Mr. Morton saved his 14- month-old daughter Perri - Lee, but two-year-old Sylvia died in her crib in an upstairs m. Mr. said his son-in- law , 18, dropped Bayliss caby on a bed on the second floor when flames en- veloped and badly burned him.

Reliable sources reported that both Ford and the UAW had given a little on non-economic issues. UAW President Walter Reuther said negotiations, be- gun June 29, were "really going to get rolling" today. And he forecast all-day, all-night bar- gaining "for sure." Ford Vice-president Malcolm Denise said he thought around- the - clock bargaining 'a fair prospect." When bargaining was re- cessed Sunday night, Reuther and Denise appeared relaxed and confident, although they Spanish Hint Want A-Arms BURGOS, Spain (Reuters) -- Hints of a Spanish bid for nu- clear weapons for its armed forces were seen here today in a call by Generalissimo Fran- cisco Franco for an overhaul in his country's defence treaty with the United States. Franco called for the over- haul Sunday at celebrations here marking the Spanish die- tator's 25th anniversary as head of state. He told a group of military officers' that defence and mu- tual - aid agreements between Spain and the United States "need to be newly studied and revised" to meet "present' cir- cumstances." Since 1953, the United States has given Spain some $400,000,- 000 in military aid, including 200 F-86 jets. But many of the weapons are outdated by nu- clear-age standards. Under the terms of the treaty, the U.S. gets the use of air and naval bases on Spanish soil in return for arms and economic aid. Aims To Protect Ghana Relations ser said today the Syrian revolt "is a setback which must be the starting point for destroying re- action and treason throughout the Arab nations." Speaking to a student rally at Cairo University, Nasser said, "We are facing the most seri- ous position which ever faced our nation." Strik agreed "there still is a lot of work to be done." Leisurely negotiations be- tween Ford and the UAW have been in wide contrast with those that went around the clock at American Motor Corporation and General Motors, where the UAW won its first three-year contracts in 1961 bargaining. Ford and the UAW met for the first time after dark Sunday. The major development that the two sides let slip under their news blackout curtain was the fact that at-the-plant working agreements had been reached by 26 of the UAWs 85 Ford bargaining units, That left 46 local-level agree- ments, which supplement the national contract, still to go.
