School Bill's Chances Not Good Says Solon
Washington Republican leader Joseph Martin said Eisenhower is not entirely satisfied with the 14 billion school aid plan but might support it if Congress passes the compromise measure. The House bill would fund two years of school construction, differing sharply from an administration plan for 2.2 billion in grants over four years. Martin warned the outlook for passage is not good and said Eisenhower may or may not actively back the measure.
