bus transportation this coming
school year in Prince Edward
which was in effect during the
last school year." Pearson said.
He added, Although a bus
transportation survey was made
in the town Of Farmville to as
certain if there would be suffici-
ent demand for the extension of
bus transportation to the town
area. the decision by the foun-
dation means that no extension
of bus service will be made at
present and that parents or
guardians in Farmville will be
expected to arrange transporta-
ton for their children to the lower
school and to the upper school
as was done during former
years"
THE foundation will review
the overall position at intervals
and if changing conditions per-
nit, bus services could be ex-
tended to the town Of Farmville
on very short notice and in ac-
cordance with plans on hand as
a result of the survey" Pearson

One major plank in the Ken
nedy recovery programa.-the
1894 million depressed areas bill
lis expected to pass the Senate
today In . form preferred by
the White House.
Still to be acted on were sew
eral amendments to cut the
funds In the bill. Backers said
they expected to be able to
defeat these.
The legislation, given q high
priority by President Kennedy,
would provide Federal loans
and grants to attract job
making plants to areas long
suffering from heavy unem-
ployment.
Administration leaders had
their way on two important
features Of the bill yesterday.
Double Victory
Their first victory came
when Der ocratic liberals
agreed to go along with the
Presidents preference for the
Commerce Department as the
agency to handle the program,
instead Of an independent ad-
ministrator.
The second victory permits
the Treasury to borrow the $500
million needed to set UP three
separate loan funds to help new
industries get started In de-
pressed areas without waiting
for Congress to appropriate the
money later.
See 'Back-D Door Spending -.
This method of Treasury fl
nancing was attacked by Re-
publicans and Southern Dem
ocrats as "back-door spending"
and touched off the liyeliest
debate Of the year.
When 1t was over, the Senate
defeated, 90 to IS, an amend
ment by Senator Robertson,
Democrat Of Virginia, which
would have required direct ap-
preparations. This defeat left
