Conn Solon Challenges South on Education Aid
Rep. Patterson of Connecticut urged southern states to spend money on local education rather than luring New England industry with tax free operations. He criticized the Senate education aid bill as regional bias and presented a table of proposed state contributions and receipts. Connecticut would pay about 5.469 million and receive 1.0 million under the plan, while Alabama would net about 14.44 million.
