Senate Votes Bill
To Limit Children
In Form Jobs
BY the Associated Press

The Senate has passed a bill
to restrict farm employment of
children under IA years of age
outside of school hours.
The measure was one of a
package of six bills designed to
improve the lot of migratory
workers. All have been passed
by the Senate in the last three
days, and sent to the House.
The child labor bill would
apply, with some exceptions, to
all farm employment. But Sen
ator Harrison A. williams, jr.,
Democrat of New Jersey, chief
sponsor Of all six measures, ex-
planned that 1t was designed
chiefly to affect migrant fam
lilies.
Exceptions were included to
exempt from the ban children
working on their home farm or
in the neighborhood.
Also passed yesterday was a
bill to require registration of
crew leaders who deal as mid
dlemen between migrants and
farm employers.
Both were cleared by voice
vote.

A House Education Subcom-
mittee has approved a part Of
the administrations education
program dealing with basic
education for adults.
The measure, which is to be
incorporated with other Sec
tons of the program, would
authorize SIS million over q
three-year period in grants to
the States for combating
illiteracy among adults. 1t now
goes to the full committee.
Approval was unanimous In
the subcommittee yesterday
after a Republican-sponsored
amendment to withhold funds
from racially segregated schoo,
districts was defeated 5-4, with
Democrats supplying the ma
iority votes.
On the other side Of the

adopt a grade school and high

leave the use Of Federal fund
entirely up to the States.

plan would sidestep the quar-
rels over aid to religious school
and Federal control Of educa
