Federal Education Bill Likely Dead After Convention Move
Washington June 12 Special The federal aid to education bill, passed in the Senate 58 to 22, faces likely death in the House if Congress does not resume after pre convention sessions June 19. Key obstacles include Catholic opposition and Speaker Martin's political calculations amid GOP presidential hopes. Public support exists, but discharge petitions appear futile at this late stage. North Carolina would lead state allocations under the Senate bill, with Alabama Texas Tennessee Arkansas Louisiana also set to gain, while the House version would allot less.
