Last. August the Joint Confer

Chicago resolved that the granu
should be reduced at least 20 per
cent in the fiscal year 19S0. But
President Truman has proposed in

he suggested were $290 000 000 fori
federal aid to education and S65,-1

Even without these new pro-!
grams, however, the 19,0 total of
grants was bound to be higher
rather than lower. This was point
ed out in a speech in December by
James E Webb, director of the
budget. The federal government

them.
