The District, Maryland and
Virginia may get up to $66.5
million in Federal aid under the
proposed school construction bill
providing for q five-year. SIS
billion program.
The Districts five-year share
was estimated at q possible
50. 320. 900. Virginia's potential
total was put at $50. 100. 900 and
Maryland's at $21 .345, 900.
The House Education Commit

yesterday. The committee. which
approved the bill May 9 by q
l20-to-9 vote. yesterday sent the
measure to the House Rules
Committee with q request for
authority to take 1t to the floor.
The committee gave this break
down on the annual likely allot-
Iments in this area:

sis Of school population; $685.

would be allotted on the basis
of relative average State income
for each child Of school age and

The committee reported the
figures do not reflect any

the basis Of the effort each State
makes. The share Of Q State
