House Education Committee Rejects Antisegregation Amendment
Washington report: House Education Committee ballots 16 to 10 against an antisegregation amendment to the federal school construction bill. Rep. Roosevelt led the effort with backing from Rep. Wainwright and Rep. Wher, aiming to bar funds to districts not complying with the Supreme Court mandate on racial integration. Powell said he stayed away to avoid influencing floor debate. The panel already tentatively approved the bill’s main provisions, as supporters push a two billion dollar plan.
