Evidences of this were presented

The American people must
make the decision whether to take

There are 100000 children
in sight-under five years of age
and the number of teachers in

to all who need it.
The aid-to-the-needy program
would require the States to put ur
some of the fundS-the amount
depending on their per capita in

In an Associated Press poll OF

But other States showed great
interest in the plan. C. J. Maxey

Federal funds. The State of Mich

put up its share"
Reaction to the plan on Capitol

strong backing. But Senator Taft
