aware that there were counties
and school districts that couldn't
take care of themselves but no
State fell into this category.
Simonds took exception TO
Hyde's claim to consistency by
pointing out that Hyde had sup
ported Public Laws 815 and 874
which bring Federal money to
Federally impacted areas for
school construction.
The situation in this case was
different, Hyde replied, since this
money is replacing real estate
tax money lost by Federal build
ing on tax-exempt land.
However, Hyde admitted to the
teachers association secretary,
that no Federal control had re-
