 ported By Notable Women

A. Lincoln Filne, Boston, heads the organization, and former |Secretary of Commerce Redfield is its treasurer
 Proponents of the measure said 1t was the most important educational measure that has come before Con- gress in several years, and it has been much misrepresented and misunder> stood.
 Tie most misrepresented feature of the bill. according to the statement is the one which opponents base their eral control of education State con- trol is safeguarded, but If those op- posed to the measure think it is not,
 friends of the bill will agree to any necessary amendments to insure free-
 dom from federal interference, the
 statement added.
 It also is claimed by friends of the
 measure that it will not interfere with
 private or parochial schools, which, if
 the bill were enacted, would continue Ito operate as they have Tn the past
 only under such restrictions as may
 have been imposed by state and local
 educational authorities"
