and expects from the State in
1867 about $636,000.
Falls Church. anticipating
about 100000 from the State
this year, received about $4,000
from the Federal Government
for operation last year and about
100000 for construction.
U. S. Grants Larger
Federal grants for operation
this year will be about 10 per
cent larger than last year, ac-
cording to B. Alden Lillywhite,
who heads administration of the
aid program in the Office of
Education.
In past years, entitlement has
been based on the previous
years school enrolment of chill
dren of Federal employees. In
the new bill, the basis is changed
to current enrolment.
Also, school officials can now
include in their count children
whose fathers are employed by
the Government overseas.
Mr.. Lillywhite said Congress
tied no indignation strings to the
funds for this year. The money
will be appropriated as in the
past.
Representative Powell, Demo-
crat of New York, has served
notice, however, that the next
time the school, aid-to-i mpacted-
areas bill comes up, he wants to
try to tack on a ban on funds
to segregated school systems.
The possibility of other Federal
action depends on what the
President or the courts would
do, if anything. if a Federal court
orders indignation and Virginia
stands pat.
Neighboring Virginians could
conceivably find themselves in
the middle.

that the Office should be
