Advocates warn against Washington missteps while local authorities push to decide funding priorities. The discussion reflects tensions between federal control and local decision making in schooling.

It suggests removing strings would waste funds on existing programs, limiting education advancement, and calls for better coordination, greater flexibility, and continued use of federal funds to raise standards.
A state sponsored law enforcement training school approved by the last legislature is now on the drawing boards with a dedicated site committee. After July 1 1968 all newly appointed municipal police officers must complete the course, improving local forces’ knowledge and keeping them up to date.

Washington frets that Israel's blitz victory could backfire. The piece weighs refugee costs, Arab integration challenges, and the risk of Soviet influence including a potential base in Alexandria.
