Major battle looms over federal school aid
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The first major battle between the Congress Democratic majority and President Nixon's new Republican administration begins today with the federal school aid timetable at stake.
Debate begins on a bill which would extend the program under which federal funds are doled out to elementary and high schools, mostly in poor areas, for five years.
The long extension, backed by Democrats, would stretch the program—which was drawn up during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations—past the end of Nixon's four-year term.
Republicans want to limit the extension to two years, leaving enough time for the new

administration to suggest changes and get them into effect.
Predict passage
The House has 243 Democrats and 190 Republicans but GOP lawmakers predicted they would pick up enough Democratic help to limit the extension to two years.
Rep. Rogers C. B. Morton, the newly installed Republican national chairman, said yesterday on a television interview, Face the Nation—CBS, that he believed Congress would find some "middle ground" between the two-year and five-year educational proposals.
As for other administration legislative plans, Vice-president Spiro T. Agnew said on another television program, Issues and Answers—ABC, that the President this week would be sending Congress proposals
dealing with various domestic problems, in addition to his tax reform formula.
The education bill was the only major business scheduled for consideration in either house this week but committees scheduled work on issues ranging from the Antiballistic Missile System (ABM) to the problems of Oklahoma Indians.
Duaibaiy spoke of the need for international understanding and said the International Club was unique on the KU campus because it promoted understanding among students from all nations.
