House Buries School Aid in 224-194 Vote
The House voted 224 to 194 to kill a federal school construction aid bill that would place 1.6 billion dollars in grants over five years and bar aid to segregating states. Democrats blamed Republicans for mishandling the plan while Republicans said Democrats blocked Eisenhower’s approach. The measure faced party clash over race integration and federal control, with a Powell amendment to deny aid to noncompliant states added before the defeat.
