Decision Put Off On 2nd G-A Bill
The House recessed without a final decision on the second Gilmer Aikin public school bill after six hours of debate. Supporters of Ottis Lock's minimum foundation measure held their own, while opponents offered amendments. The bill will top the calendar again next Wednesday, with the House previously approving the first Senate bill. An 82 to 50 vote approved an amendment to boost state aid for educating handicapped children in private institutions by 100 dollars a year, a point contested by proponents.
