Parting Shot At British Aid Bill Calls It War Act
Washington March 5 The senate adopted an amendment to the British aid bill to strengthen congressional control over expenditures by requiring presidential approval before future commitments. The measure excludes 1.3 billion dollars of military equipment already owned or authorized. A termination date of July 1, 1943, or earlier by both houses was set, with the program expiring in two years unless extended. Senator Tobey charged the bill could plunge the U.S. into war overnight, labeling Roosevelt a war lord of Europe. The debate focused on House modifications and forthcoming senate amendments ahead of broader discussion.

Many Bills In The Legislature Affect Schools
The 15th New Mexico legislature faces about 75 school related measures with six major bills to implement the governor’s finance recommendations. Proposals would keep 25 percent of home tax in the schools, standardize budget accounting, base equalization on weighted attendance, reorganize textbook funding by attendance, empower the education board to survey districts and consolidate, and establish bus routes. Cost savings are estimated around 400,000 annually, with potential 700,000 yearly shortfall in the future. Companion bills would require a nine month term and set teacher salaries at 900 dollars yearly, with 1,200 teachers earning below that.
