Speaker Graham " Jones yester day reported that the bill is be-, ing discussed in reference, to a measure introduced in the'House of Representatives this - summer by " North Carolina Representa tive Graham Barden ' of New Bern. The Barden bill provided $300 million in federal funds for ied ucation in the nation, but unlike the education 'bill already passed by the Senate, specifically ex cluded private "and parochia schools from its benefits: Bar den's bill was limited strictly to such direct ' education : aid as textbooks, teachers' salaries and school equipment. The bill was bottled up in committee and did not reach the House floor during the recently ended session. Late in J uly the now famous dispute over the bill arose be tween Eleanor Roosevelt and Francie Cardinal Spellman. The Cardinal thought that Catholic schools should have a share in federal" funds for education, but Mrs. Roosevelt disagreed in her cYflumn "My Day." . ..She -said that if a United States citizen wanted his children to have special . denominational training, then he should pay for it and not expect such aid from the government.

These will be tthe amazing Dr. Polgar's sixth ' and seventh dis plays in Chapel Hill of his nationally-celebrated powers of leiepatny, memory feats, and hypnotism. "Anyone in the ca pacity crowd at Memorial Hall the night of April 26," Gibson says, knows that it is no Polgar trance but student demand that makes the Committee bring this show back again and again." Written up , in such national magazines as "Life," "Saturday Evening Post,"' and "Collier's," Polgar's five previous shows here, without an empty seat ,on record so far, have featured primarily hypnotism. Local students have believed themselves completely drunk from drinking plain water, imagined that they could see through clothes with ordinary sun glasses, and otherwise.

The Pi Phis scored in the fourth period just after it began to rain as it has in the two previous powder bowl games, The Pi Phis took the ball on the Alpha (Xi 19-yard line after a punt exchange. Some more rough stuff a peralty against Alpha Xi for "shoving" moved the ball to the two. On the next play, the Pi Phis lost three yards on a completed pass, but then Ann Hammerle, 115-pound right halfback from Hamilton,, scooted around left end for the touchdown.

If any speakers wish to be heard, then the com pulsion must be taken off. The motion also allows only one meeting. Stanford' had requested "as many as two." "Though it passed the motion," said Orientation Committee Chairman AI Lowenstein, "the committee was unanimous in, feeling that such a meeting was not advisable.
