Alt tfeis time it is wnpowrifeie to know wbat kind of Federal Aid Legislatkm will bp reported out of the Committee on Education and Labor and whether it will be as beneffieial to the public schools of the Thud District as existing laiws baive been. There is some talk of abohshiiig Section 2 of P. L. 874, as such, and incorporating aid formerly available under it into a general bill. 1 campaigned on a platform favoring Federal Aid to education and have subsequently stated for publication that 1 still faivor it. I have always taken the position, however, that Federal Aid leg islation not be accompanied by federal controls or provisions which would destroy our traditional system of educating our children in North Qarolina and any mu Containing the so-called “Powell lAdmendment’ could certainly do this and I would oppose the sa me. 1 would be a shame to see much needed Federal Aid legislation die again in this session of the Oongress due to certain; special interest groups trying to solve Oval Rights problems and every As took, of God in a deeper and it way in the life >f Jesus. i the scene, the or customs, may an incident, but they do not affect the heart off the truth- Truth applies equally to every time and place.

He was not a Galilean pro vincial, but a Teacher and Savior, with a world mission sending forth His disciples to make disciples of all nations. thing else in the one package ot the federal aid bill. It is my fervent hope that we in the Congres will have an oppor tunity to vote on a Federal Aid bill which will prove to be as helpful (and harmless) to the schools in the Third Congression al District as Public Laiws 80S, 874, and the National Defense Ed cuation Act have been. I expect to Vote for the Federal Aid Bill if it Is one that I believe the people f the Third District would want en acted for the benefit of their chil dren.
