The funds are to be distributed by the state edu cation agencies without Federal control. The bill went through the Senate without any major amendments. After long debate it was adopted essentially as the President proposed in his Feb ruary 24th message to Congress. Need —The greatest natural re source which America has is a trained, skilled, educated people. The tasks which must be per f(*med to keep our society func tioning in the space age grow ever more intricate and demand ing. As a result we have un employment due largely to an abundance of unskilled labor and at the same time we have a shortage of doctors, teachers, sci entists and skilled technicians. All, I think, recognize the edu cational needs of this country. The Federal Government with its superior taxing powers collects three-fourths of all taxes in this country. This has made it ne cessary for the state to turn to it to help solve the educational problem which we face. Pushed Out First Soloist Did you notice how my voice filled the hall to night?
