Senate Republican Leader
Knowlarul of California aaid the
outline had been viewed favor
ably by top OOP legislators. He

Sen. Hill (D-Alai said on the
| other hand that none of the fiscal
approaches recommended by Ki
senhower "promise to bring Im
mediate construction of school
buildings, as would outright
grants" contemplated by bills
previously Introduced.
Three Categories
The Elsenhower plan Is aimed
at assisting school districts in
three categories:
1. Those which are able to Is
sue building bonds but which
cannot market them at reason
able Interest rates.
2. Those which have Issued all
the bonds they are legally per
mitted but which still have some
money available.
3. Those which are flat broke.
For the first group the Presi
dent's plan would do this:
$7.10 .Million
The federal government would
appropriate 750 million dollara
over a period of three years to
help states buy bonds which
could not be sold at an interest
rate of less than 3‘i per cent.
The federal government would
buy from 50 to 80 per cent of a
state's total bonds, depending on
the state's per capita income.
The federal funds would be re
payable in, 30 years.
To help schools in the second
category, states would set up
school building authorities which
would erect schools and rent
them to local school districts.
The federal government would
Join on a 50-50 bun in to provide
enough to make annual payments
on bonds issued by st^te authori
ties to build the schools.
Kents Pay Bonds
Kents from local districts
would be expected tr, pay off the
bonds in 30 years. The buildings
would then become the property I
of the local districts.
The President called for an
appropriation sufficient to allow
the states to build six billion
dollars’ worth of new schools in
three years.
Direct Grants
Districts in the third category
would he eligible for direct fed
eral grants on a matching basis
from a 200-million dollar fund to
be expended over three years.
This money would be allotted to
states according to per capita in
come, with no state getting less
than 40 per cent or more than
60 per cent of the total it plans
to use to aid such districts.
In addition, Eisenhower pro
posed that 20 million dollars be 1
appropriated to aid states ad
minister the costs of school im-;
provement studies, with no state
to receive less than $25,00*1 a
year for three years.
