Department officials explained,
according to cloSed-seSSion testi-
mony released by the committee,
that Commissioner of Education
Samuel M. Brownell recently rec
commended that the additional
School construction funds be re-
quested. They said it was, too
late to do so before the supple

be entitled to $458, 900, and Alex

as other nearby communities in
Virginia and Maryland already
stood to benefit to some extent
under the previous legislation.
Before Chairman Taber told
the House the committee would
recommend the $55 million pro-
vision, Notwithstanding the lack
of official requests from executive
agencies, Representative Broy-
hill, Republican, of Virginia had
planned a sharp criticism of the
committee.
He took the floor anyway and
complained that Congress still
should do much more to honor
its promise" to appropriate
necessary funds for additional
school construction in areas
adversely affected by large Fed

Area Schools Would
Share in SIS Million
Approved by House

Communities such as Arling-
ton having large Federal estab-
lishments hoped today for early
Senate concurrence in House
approval of an additional SIS
million for school conStruc-
ton aid.
This SIS million would cover
the remainder Of 1854 and bene-
fit numerous so-called "ixnpacted
areas" previously entitled to re-
ceive such Federal assistance
under a law passed last year
The item was part of a sass, 470,-
49S supplementary appropria-
ton bill passed by the House
late yesterday, making addi-
tional OUTLAWS for various
agencies during the fiscal year
ending June 80.
The overall bill and the SIS
million school aid provision
turned out to be considerably
bigger than the House Appro-
priationS Committee expected.
Besides adding the SIS million,
the House voted, 81 to Sc. to
increase from $7.551. 100 to $14,-
551, 100 supplementary allow
ance to States for costs of ad-
ministering unemployment COM

Debate PrOvOkeS Blame.
In debate on the SIS million
amendment. the Department of
Health. Education and Welfare
drew the principal blame.
Representative Fogarty, Demo-
crat. of Rhode Island, last week
served notice he would move to
provide $113 million. This was
for the old entitlements and the
current school construction pro-
grams in communities affected
by taX-exempt Federal properties
and increasing school popula-
tionS caused by arrival of large
numbers of Federal employees.
Mr.. Fogarty yesterday agreed
to go along with a $55 million
outlay proposed by Committee
Chairman Taber to meet only
to the old entitlementS.
Mr.. Fogarty and several other
Democrats, as well as Republic
cans, noted that the department
had not asked the committee or
the Budget Bureau to include the
$55 million. The Rhode Islander
declared that, under the con-
