800 Million School Aid
Yearly Urged by NEA
To Bolster Democracy

An annual appropriation of $780,
900, 900 for Federal aid to public
keep the bulwarks Of
democracy at home from crumbling''
was urged by the National Edu-
cation Association yesterday.
"We are determined to do every
thing in our power to get such leg
islation passed in the next Con-
gress," Willard E. Givens, executive
secretary of the NEA, declared. He
added that the public schools can
not give every American child full
opportunity to prepare for the du-
ties of democratic citizenship unless
the Federal Government helps.
A statement outlining the stand Of
the association was formulated by
the legislative commission Of the
NEA and has been approved by its
Executive Committee. Such legisla-
ton as advocated by the association
is proposed in Senate bill which
Is on the calendar. A similar bill
In the House still is in committee.
Per Capita Aid Is Fixed.
Under the Senate bill, the District
would receive $4,000 In Federal
funds annually while Virginia would
get $8,070, 900 and Maryland, $2,i35,-
900. The Federal allotment per child
in the 5 to II age group would be
S. in Is States and the District and
$11.40 in Virginia.
ut is perfectly clear that demo.
eracy and the system of free enter
prise are under vigorous attack in
Western Europe. 1t is also clear
that they are seriously threatened
even in our own country" the as
sociation's statement said.
To-day the American people are
Evening star., 1948-01-04

called upon to support democratic
ideAls around the globe. There Is
no other choice. Retreat into fsola-
tion Is impossible In today's world.
The future freedom throughout the
world is indissolubly linked with our
own.
Cost Small Compared to War.
The statement OF policy went on
to say that the Federal aid to
schools is small compared to the
$500, 900, ,000, 900 spent on the last
war and that the basic defense OF
the Nation and of the cause of free
men resides in the intelligence and
physical well being of all citizens.
"To tolerate ignorance within our
Nation is to invite disaster" the
statement declared. "The alien
propagandists would wish for
nothing better than for large num-
bers of our young people to reach
adulthood in ignorance. without a
deep and abiding faith in the
American way of life"
At a press conference, reporters
asked Mr.. Givens about the status
OF parochial schools In the $500, ,0OO,-
600 Federal aid program.
He answered that the NEA always
Evening star., 1948-01-04

has advocated that Congress provide
aid In order to equalize educational
opportunity In the public elemen-
tary and secondary schools. He
added, however, that the money
should be spent by the States with
out Federal supervision in exactly
the same way that State funds are
now used.
Lists Threatening Conditions.
The statement listed these.
Threatening conditions" In the
educational field in the United

Hinton told both Patrolman
Gray and Sheriff Krebs that he
had planned the killing of his
wife since the divorce in October.
He said he was mad" at the
sheriff because that officer had
held him in Jail during the pro-
ceedings and he was unable to
appear in court to contest the
case, according to Sheriff Krebs.
He gave no reason for killing
the baby and it is believed he
shot Gloria because she had

declaring that such a move would
tend to obstruct justice in making
selection of a jury and a fair

In discussing the case, however,

action of the state highway pa

last homicide were on the scene
and within a few minutes had
put the shooting on the air to
the entire patrol"
