not now receiving anything akin to
this amount, must be brought ur to,

the money can be placed In the
schools In the cities and towns now
already spending that much rr
nore.. The bill provides for judicial
review in the following lanpuafc':
Whenever in the Judgment o a
taxpayer of such state any person
has engaged etc. that will con
stitute a violation of the first two
sentences of this section" (referring
to expenditure to public schools
nd to bringing up standard to S60
per pupil) "such taxpayer may make
application to the appropriate uni
ted States district court, to tiie
District Court f6r the Territory of
Alaska, etc. - for an order enjrin
lng such acts or practices or for
an order enforcing compliance with
the first two sentences of this sec
tion." 'Upon a showing, etc -- the
judge may issue the appropriate
order. This procedure is basically
American and puts the policing of
this act in the hands of the citizens
of the various states, and if any
noney is misspent, Mr. Lesinskl
or any one else, could make appli
cation to a District Judge to stop
it. The bill then contains defini
tions which is to state current ex
penditures, etc. The provision
which apparently worries Mr. Les
inskl and some Of his folks IS as
follows: "The term "current ex
penditures" does .not include ex
penditures for transportation or
for interest, debt service, bonded
indebtedness, or capital, outlay,
and does not include expenditures
for health services etc.". This
provision is identical with the
Senate provision, except the term
"bonded indebtedness" was added
for clarification and transportation
was excluded because upon inves
tigation of the committee it was
found that the 48 states had more
than 48 different systems and
lypes and methods of transportat
ion, some by contract and other
wise, some with mileage limita
tions, some states have Constitu
tional prohibitions against trans
rorting any students rther tlian
public school students. The com
mittee, therefore, decided that that
was a matter to be left to the
States and that we would not enter
into that hazy field, and that if the
state so desired it could traiufer
such monies from its present ap
propriation covering school teach
ers' salaries, books, eic. 10 me
transportation fund and replace
these funds with money from the
Federal grant. It was regarded that
that would be simpler than to pro
ceed otherwise. As stated above, i
am not very good at a name calling
contest, and do not propose to as
sume that role, and any person has
the right to be either conscienti
ously opposed to this bill or con
scientiously for the bill, but God
forbid that it ever reaches wo
point in America when conscient
ious differences oi opinion is me
signal for name calling, abusive
language, questioning of character,
and even questioning of ones pat
riotism. That sounds too much like
Czechoslovakia to me and I want
no part of it, but I challenge any
man to find any evidence support
ing those ugly names In the lang
uage of the bill. If he will quote the
bill accurately and let his com
ment follow, I will take my chances
with the good Judgment oi we
American people." ; -! '""'
