School Aid Urga Given Congress By President (Continued From Pag On) slste and local school building programs. The total grant and lending au thority therefor added up to S2, 070,000,000 of frderal aid. Declaring that the shortage of classroom Is the "most critical problem in education, Eisenhower said federal assistance is appro priate in view of the "temporary emergency" nature of th situa tion. Four Principles Specified Hit 2.000 word message listed four principles which he aaid must govern the legislation if it is to "serve the cause of educa tion more effectively." These were: 1. Recognition of th program as an emergency measure to catch up wilh backlog of needs. Once th school room shortage is overcome, he said, the slates and communities must meet future need "with their own resources." 2. No infringement on "t h American precept that responsib ility for control of education rests with the states and communities." ' 1. Framing of the legislation so a to stimulate greater state and local efforts. Federal grants snouia oe matched by state fundi after the first year of the pro gram, cisrnnower sam. 4. Distribution of th grants within each state to give priority to local districts with the greatest needs and the least financial abil ity to meet the need.
