Observations
Senator Hill Sees
Hope For School
Aid Bill
By HELEN EssARY

Lister Hill. senator from Alsba-
ma. is pleased over the progress
of the school bill he and Senator
Ebert Thomas OF Utah are father
ing in the Senate. The bill asks
for federal aid for schools. 1.-TWO
hundred million dollars worth OF
better salaries for teachers. One
hundred million dollars worth OF
schools and school books-annual-
ly.) Senator Hill has been working
on a plan OF this sort ever since he
came to Congress % years ago.
The federal aid is to be added
to the state aid Both TO be admin
istered by local authorities. A
similar bill was whizzing along
last year but Senator William Lang
er (R) OF North Dakota, tackled on
an amendment providing that the
federal aid be divided equally be-
tween white and colored schools.
This defeated the bill. In some
states there are almost no colored
people. In others the proportion
Of colored TO white citizens is high.
Seems 10 me, the place to spend
money on education is at home
not abroad,

Potsdam meeting?"
Premier Josef Stain looked the
biggest OF the three. He caught
the cameras CLEAN most sharply.
Perhaps this was because the So
Wet leader was wearing a fawn-
colored suit. Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill had the best space
in the Newspaper layout. And in
the middle-taller by a fraction
than the other two-neat as a pre-
war pin, double-breasted suit and
trousers pressed 10 the finest crease

Don't worry about Mr.. Truman"
said the head OF the house. Hes
just not as fat as the other boys.
I'll bet Mr.. Truman is more on his
toes and quicker on his feet than
the others"
hope Mr.. Truman. President OF
the United States OF America, is
indeed agile. hope he can dodge
and feint and run with the ball.
And watch both Allies at the same
time.
OF this Truman Characteristic I
am sure. He is a tidy man. He
