miller, representative Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
Representative Perkins told
the committee that advance re-
ports indicated the administra-
ton proposals, designed to en-
courage State spending for edu-

gency and long range provisions.

what to think. She knew, though, that they
meant something, that they were not sent
as a vague tribute to be mixed with the
