feasibility Of the school age

noted that this overall popula-

attended public or private
schools. She commented that
this might favor States that
have numerous private schools.
Representative Pucinski,

make clear whether a State

from the original introduced

House and Senator Murray in
the Senate.
It was cut. from $l1 billion

years in Federal grants to

distribution to States would be

School Aid Bill Delay

exactly accuse Mr.. Barden Of
stalling. But he made two
motions-first. that the COM
mittee Immediately take UP the
bill and. second. that it meet
again May / TO resume work

Although roll calls Of the 81
members present probably
would have adopted those mo-
tons, Mr.. Bailey did not press
them. He did not have a
chance to do so on the first
because MFR. Barden ended a
40-minute wrangle by ruling"
that the bill could be discussed
but not voted on. On the
other issue, Mr.. Bailey with

A dispute in the House Edu-
cation Committee over ham
ding Of the Federal school aid
bin was viewed by members to-
day as q spectacular but rela-
lively small factor in the ca
reer Of that 81 billion meas
Ire.
Committee Chairman Bar
den, Democrat of North Caro-
lima, insists that Chairman
Bailey, Democrat Of West vir-
ginia, Of the subcommittee
which handled the bill, is de-
laying committee consideration
OF the bill because Of "unco-
operativeness."

was left to the call of the
chair"
Chairman Barden left very
much up in the air how soon
he viii call a meeting to con-
tinue with the bill. But he
left no doubt Of his unwilling
ness to have full committee
sessions two or three times a
week while two subcommittee
are occupied with labor reform
bills. He charged that Mr..
Bailey was unwilling TO coop
crate in orderly procedure.
Bill Greatly Changed
In any event, whether the
committee resumes operations
next week or next month, most
members predict the contro-
versial bill Is in for a long and
heavy seige. There is a wide
spread belief. however, that the
committee eventually will re-
port out a further amended
measure for House action this
year.

SSS,5OO VERDICT
Jury Awards
Negro Who
Sheriff Shot

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-L. c..
Robertson, 38-year-old Negro
who was shot in the back of
the head last September by a
sheriff, was recently awarded
$30,5OO by an all-White Federal
County jury.
The damages are against
Dyer County Sheriff Ted Pitt
and the Maryland Casualty
Co., which had an indemnity
bond on the sheriff.
Oddly enough, the sheriff
who shot Robertson, Warren
Agee, was abso1ved of any LA
bility in the case on the
grounds that he was acting in
his official capacity of deputy
sheriff, making his actions the
responsibility of Sheriff Pitt.
The shooting took place out
side restaurant when Agee
tried to arrest Robertson for
cursing, a misdeameanor I'M
der the law. Three shots were
fired.
Judge Marion S. Boyd ruled,
before the case was given to
the jury, that Roberson's in
jury left him totally and per-
manently disabled.

ut shook the whole house
and made a terrific noise,"
Mrs. Bates said. "The whole

out There was nothing left
of it but little pieces of met
al. We figured it had dyna-
mite in it and if it had hit
the house it would have
blown up a wall"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bates were in
their basement playroom when
the explosion occurred.
Neighbors and friends had
been keeping a lookout on the
house since segregationists
made the Bates one of their
chief targets, but Mrs. Bates
said she would not ask for
Federal protection.
This seemed to be the most
powerful of the four bombs
hurled at her home Mrs. Bates
explained. She pointed out that
the other three seemed to be
of the incendiary type, design
ed only to start fires.
