Federal aid urged to ease schoolroom shortage
A government survey finds a deficit of about 350000 classrooms in the just-closed school year as World War II generation children enter schools. Congress is urged to approve flexible federal construction aid now, though Secretary Hobby asks for delay to await White House and state conferences. Delaying could widen deficits into 1954 55 and beyond, harming education for hundreds of thousands.
