"Way Station" Seen

Schools in the Washington
suburbs appear in danger oi
losing millions Of dollars o.
Federal aid next year.
The Kennedy administration
Ireportedly has accepted ar
Eisenhower proposal to slash
dirastically Government contri-
buttons to schools in areas
heavily populated by Fedora
Iemployes.
The six Jurisdictions sur
rounding the District last fiscal
year received some $12 million
through the program Of as
sistance to impacted areas and
will get somewhat more this
fiscal year.
They would be deprived OF
nearly half this sum should
Congress approve the antici-
pated administration recon-
mendations. Fairfax County
would be hurt the most.
In 1859, Congress. with the
support Of many conservative
members, repelled an Eisen-
hover attempt to cut the grants
and voted to continue them in
full another two years.
Problem Different Now
But it could be more diff
cult to prevent reductions this
year. For the Kennedy admin
istration may make the i'm

gral part Of its overall bill tc

ticn in general.

thus might be forced to choose
between voting for Federal aid
to education in general, which
many of them ardently oppose,
or voting against the impacted
area program which, even re-
duced, would directly benefit
many Of their constituents.

1t recommends q 20 per cent

Suburban school authorities
have warned that cuts Of such
magnitude would necessitate
unexpected increases In local
tax rates.
The Government this year,
for instance, will give Arlington
about SIS million to help sup
port the county's $14 million
school budget. II the sug-
geSted reductions are effected,
Arlington would have to tap
local tax sources for as much

Critics Of the impacted-area

it represents an inequitable and
illogical way to distribute Fed
eral funds for support Of public
education.
They declare that except

work. Federal employees con-
