10 PAGES — 2 SECTIONS—5 CENTS
Strategy Revamped
For Education Bill
Washington, Jan. 16
(AP) — House Democra-
tic leaders plan to divide
legislation for money for
. c o 1 l„e g e s and funds for
public schools in a tactical
move aimed at Kitting approv-
al of both. They disclosed this
after a conference with the
President,
Speaker John McCormack ex-
plained the strategy, saying
chances of approval seem bet-
ter by splitting the two and tak-
ing up the college measure
first.
The Massachusetts Democrat
Indicated be feels the college
aid measure is more likely to
be approvel. So, he said, it
would be logical to move first
on the higher education pro-
posal. t
The administration has re-
commended spending two and
a-half billion dollars on public
school construction and teach-
ers’ salaries. Under the higher
education proposal, two billion
would be provided over a peri-
od of years for college build-
ings and scholarships.
McCormack said the House
would take up an administra-
tion bill to raise postal rates
first. Under this bill, it would
cost five cents, instead of four,
to mail a nrst-elass letter.
The meeting wgs the first of
this congressional session's
weekly breakfasts at the White
House. Legislation apt to come
up in the near future was dis-
cussed to set up a department
of urban affairs and to provide
employment opportunities for
young people and the unem-
ployed.

Geneva, Jan. 16 Ufl — The
U.S. and Britain will go along
with a Russian demand to take
up a nuclear test ban at nego-
tiations on the broader disarm-
ament problem opening in Ge-
neva in March. The three-pow-
er nuclear talks at Geneva
would be abandoned.
The U.S. and British dele-
gates announced formal agree-
ment to the Russian proposal
at the 350th session of the nu-
clear conference. The talks re-
sumed today after a recess for
the Christmas holidays.
Western sources \ay the rea-
son for the agreement, coming
after a long period of opposi-
tion to combining the negotia-
tions, was Russian refusal to
discuss a draft treaty with in-
ternational controls.

clear experiments was rejected
