The Senate backed a Ribicoff amendment for a college expense tax credit up to 325 dollars per student, but the measure is unlikely to become law as the Treasury and House conferees may strip it out. The proposal would offer a credit against tuition and related costs, not room and board, funded by a broad tax bill projected to total about 600 million dollars initially and 1.3 billion by 1970.
