Textbook Aid Upheld By New York Court
Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court upheld free textbooks for children in private and parochial schools on an equal basis with public school students. The ruling framed aid as aid to the student, not the school, akin to public library access. The decision, likely to be appealed to the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court, aims to clarify aid to the child versus indirect aid to schools amid 1960s education expansion.

Vietnam war costs and declining Johnson influence curtail big new programs. Senate scrutiny of Great Society laws and drafts rises as Johnson focuses on Social Security benefits and budget cuts to balance rising war expenses.
