Aid to Education Bill Floundered in House Vote
Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson report that on July 25 1957 the House defeated an education aid bill and moved the United States closer to second class status. The piece traces a five year fight where White House pressure and Senate resistance stalled funding, while Russia advanced in science and education. It notes omitted White House support, Halleck’s role, and the Sputnik context as fallout for American schools.
