The Pearsall Bill provides constitutional amendments that would * How «ranting of educa tion expenses l>y the state and "jcal units to children m an area i$thout segregated schools.

Other amendments to he vot «•d on Saturday include chang ing the General Assembly date from January to February. Λ third amendment \>-ould «φτηιΐ a married woman to ex ecute a power of attorney con ferred on her by her husband. The practice is common in 46 other states now.
