WASHINGTON REPORT
By BILL WHITLEY
SEGREGATION. The old segre
gation bugaboo stands a good
chance of ruining efforts to get
federal-aid-for-education legisla
tion through the present Con
gress. .
The states in most need of fed
eral financial assistance in build
ing schools are those in the South.
It is here that school construction
is lagging and state revenues are
too low to keep up with the de
mands of education.
Those opposed to the Federal
government helping states build
schools—mostly northern and
mid western Republicans—are
mapping strategy to kill several
school construction bills now be
fore Congress.
SLIP. The opposition let the
cat out of the bag this week when
Senator Bender of Ohio was
questioning some southern school
officials at a hearing on federal
aid for schools.
Bender, one of the most con
servative members of the Senate,
has stated several times during
the hearings that he thought
southern states should squeeze
more money out of -their own
pocketbooks before expecting the
Federal government to help pay
for school buildings.
Bender, during a long series of
questions, asked if southern school
officials intend to carry out the
Supreme Court’s decision banning
segregation in public schools. He
was told that southerners still
think they will be able to provide
superior educational opportunity
through equal but separate
schools.
“Well, I will tell you one thing.
If no one else does it, I plan to
offer an amendment to the federal
school construction bills that
would require that the money be
".pent on unsegregated schools,”
Bender said.
PLAN. In effect, this means
Bender and some of his colleagues
will try to use the segregation
issue to kill any federal-aid-for
education bill.
With as much sentiment as
there is for desegregated schools
in the North and West, it would
mean that many senators from
these areas would have to go
along with a desegregation
amendment. Once any such
amendment is attached to
the school construction bills, it
would mean almost certain death.
In addition to those conservatives
who are opposed to federal aid
for schools, almost all southern
lawmakers would be forced to
vote against federal aid bills that
had any provision requiring un
segregated schools.
Consequently, if anti-school aid
senators have their way, many
southern lawmakers will be in the
embarrassing position of voting
against an idea they conceived
and nurtured.
COTTON. Within the next few
weeks Congress is expected to
pass legislation that will give
small cotton farmers of the Caro
linas, Georgia and Alabama a
break in acreage allotments.
The measure, now before the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
will allow every farmer to plant
at least five acres of'cotton.
Until last year, crop control
legislation exempted all cotton
farmers who grew five or less
acres from acreage reductions.
This year, however, the small
fai-mers were forced to take re
ductions on a pro rata basis with
the large cotton growers.
HARDSHIP. The new regula
tions brought hardship on most
farmers who raise five or less
acres. In order to help bolster the
income of the small growers,
legislation is in the mill that
would permit all cotton growers
to plant at least five acres.

Tree farming differs from other
land crops in two respects. There
are no surpluses and probably will
not be. There is no future danger
of acreage control.
