Race Bill Legality Argued in Harrisburg Hearing
The Dauphin county Court heard arguments on the legality of Pennsylvania 1959 harness racing law. The Lord's Day Alliance filed a suit claiming the law violates the state constitution and seeks to restrain the Harness Racing Commission from licensing parimutuel tracks. Core points involve whether a majority of all county voters or those voting in the referendum approved the law, and whether counties with small registries can participate in referenda. Six of fourteen counties approved referenda in last year’s primary, including Philadelphia and Delaware. The court will decide the correct interpretation and future licensing authority.

NEA Reports Major Overcrowding in Urban Schools
The National Education Association says nearly a third of a million public elementary pupils attended half day sessions in 1959 60, with over two million others in overcrowded classes of more than 35. Urban districts average 29 or 34 pupils per class, depending on size, and overcrowding limits individual attention. The report calls for smaller classes, estimating tens of thousands more classrooms and teachers would be needed to reach 23 to 30 pupils per class. It notes the difficulty of achieving ideal targets in city schools.
