Fight Bitter
For Federal
School Help

Washington. Oct. 13-INs-The
Senate faced one OF the most bit
ter legislative fights In years to-
day over the Hill Thomas bill to
provide 800 million dollars a year
in federal aid for elementary pub
lie schools OF the states.
A measure that has met disas-
ter every time II has shown its
head for five years. the bill now
has split even the solid eouth on
the ground that ii paves the way
for federal domination OF the
schools.
The present form was drawn up
by Sens. Lister Hill of Ala, and
Ebert Thomas OF Utah, both Dem.
ocrats. II provides 200 million dol.
lars a year for increases in teach
ers' salaries and employment OF
additional teachers for congested
classes. Another 100 million is
added to "equalilze public elemen-
tary and secondary school oppor.
tunities among and within the
states"
Although the bill begins with
a declaration that no officer or
agency OF the federal government
shall have anything TO do with
state control. fear the Greeks
bearing gifts" said Sen. Ellison
d. Cotton Ed Smith Cd sc.
I'm recent years we have seen

upon and take over one state func-
ton after the other through Its
