...year in direct grants is the more realistic is obscured by politics and lack of statistics. Few, however, will deny that schools could use the extra money of the Democrat's proposal. Another criticism is leveled at the President's message by several liberal legislators who would attach a rider to the bill banning aid to segregated schools.
