WASHINGTON, Sept, 23— The State Department was re ported today to be planning to ask Congress for an additional $250‐million for relief of Pakistani refugees in India and for rehabilitation programs in East Pakistan.

Qualified informants said that under the State Department's proposal, the Money, would be voted by Congress directly to the President and would be divided evenly: $125‐ million to assist the Indian Government in caring for 8,500,000 refugees in camps in that country, the remaining $125‐million for the Govern ent of Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees, introduced legislation calling on the United States to provide $400‐million for refugee relief in India.

The Massachusetts Democrat, who visited refugee camps in India last month, said that “nearly a million more East Bengalis have found it necessary to flee inhuman conditions and truly genocidal acts of their Government” since his visit.

Estimates prepared by the Agency for International Development are said to predict that the number of refugees who will go from East Pakistan to India will reach 12 million in coming months. Officials of the agency are reported to have estimated the cost to the Indian Government of caring for the refugees this fiscal year, ending June 30, at $830‐million.

The $250‐million proposal would substantially increase the amount proposed by Representative H. B. Frelinghuysen, Republican of New Jersey.

Since March 25, when President Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan ordered the Pakistani Army to suppress a movement for political autonomy in East Pakistan, the United States has provided $80‐milion through the United Nations for relief of refugees in India and $137‐million for “humanitarian” relief in East Pakistan.
