Appropriations Committee backs a parish by parish distribution in the $495 million general bill for 1962-63, drawing opposition from Jackson who urges funding via the Department of Education. He warns the plan could politicize public schools, while administration leaders defend the same distribution formula used by a 25 member panel.
