things that! fervently hope can 6e accomplished. I feel there 1a some urgency In accomplishing them. j URGENT LEGISLATION I expect to vote for funds tot the states to aid- In the con struction of public school build ings If the act prohibits, the Federal Government from any control, over the education sys tem of the states and if such ap prlprluttons are notto be used to the decision of the Supreme Count in the school seg regation oases.

Congress rejected the Administration’s plan to build highways because it contained the provirion for laming bonds. Congress wants a pay-as-you-go proposal as pro vided by the Core BUI. UNITED NATIONS Some of the actions of the United Nations have troubled me at times. I have been sorely dis down and think about it and reach the oonciuston that its membership is made up of falli ble human beings and that it at least represents the only hope for mankind, for a peaceful world. I expect to continue to support the United Nations to all of its legMMiate efforts to bring peace to a troubled world. I do not believe, however, that ATTENTION FARMERS!
