|CULHANE RAISES VITAL QUESTION
Senator Asks Why ParO- ChiaI Schools Fail to
 Receive Grants

Democratic Senator George T. CuIhane of this city raised the ques- tion of state grants to parochial schools before the appropriations committee of the general assembly yesterday in Hartford.
 Senator Culhane asked why Cath olic schools received none of the grants for transportation of elemen- tary school children and Albert I. Prince, chairman of the state board of education, responded that 1t was a matter for the legislature to de- eide.
 Bills providing that towns and cities receiving enumeration grants from the state shall turn over 8 proportionate share to parochial schools are now before the assen1. ply. The law makes no provision for state aid to private education.
 Later in the day Senator Culhane wanted to know why the board had its own attorney instead of using the services of the attorney gen. eral. MT. Prince explained that At torncy George H. Sturges, heads the boards division that enforces at- tendance laws. Someone who have to head that division anyway, he added and the fact that the incun1- bent Is Q lawyer Is incidental.
