GA Advocates Shout Triumph Over Gilmer Aikin Bills
The Texas House edged toward passage of the Gilmer-Aikin school revamping proposals but adjourned until Monday. Backers hailed a 67 to 58 defeat of a move to substitute an appointive board for the elective board and a 77 to 55 vote to defeat postponement to April 13. The session saw an amendment retaining the current state superintendent as an adviser until December 31, 1950. Strong debate and teacher presence marked the day as factions clashed over control of state education policy.
