School Bill Voted Key Plan Cut In House Action
The House passed a formal school aid bill in a tough session. Republicans and Southern Democrats backed a push to shift support to states, while a coalition extended federal funding for education and desegregation enforcement, with a final vote of 294 to 122 sending the measure to the Senate. The bill authorizes about 4.5 million for elementary and secondary schools for 1968-69, with major provisions directing funds to districts for programs aiding low income families. The outcome split the party ranks and left the federal effort in question.
