Dirksen Drops Amendment in Federal School Aid Bill
Senator Dirksen withdrew his proposal to bar federal funds from being used to bus students to overcome racial imbalance, removing a major hurdle to the 14.2 billion federal school aid bill. Southern senators press two amendments to weaken civil rights enforcement, while Sen. Morse hopes to preserve the measure and push toward a House Senate conference by week’s end. The contentious proposals include Russell’s bid to shield districts from HEW aid cuts midyear and Fountain’s rider to delay HEW approval of aid for districts practicing segregation, forcing a formal process before any funding cuts.
