Governor Milton J. Shapp of Pennsylvania told the House Ways and Means Committee in Washington that Congress should create a self supporting revolving education fund of 5 to 10 billion dollars. The fund would be repaid by surcharges on income taxes, modeled on the highway trust fund financed by gasoline taxes, as one of four alternatives to Nixon's revenue sharing plan to distribute 5 billion yearly to staffs and cities from federal taxes.
