Knowland Explains School Aid Change Opposes Eisenhower School Aid Program WASHINGTON (UP) — Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland, who voted for school aid bills twice before, said today he switched to the opposition this year , because of the "budget situation” and other factors. Knowland. who has been moving steadily toward a position of opposition to the Eisenhower administration, revealed in a speech two days ago he is opposed to President Eisenhower's program of federal aid for school construction. The program calls for 11,300,000,000 in grants to states over a four-year period. In 1948 and again in 1949 Knowland voted for bills to provide federal aid for schools. He was asked in an interview what factors prompted him to change his mind. .m > < Bids For Economy "The budget situation is one," he replied. This referred to the drive he is supporting for substantial cuts in the close to 72 billion dollar Eisenhower budget for the coming government year. He said since his previous votes in favor of school aid "I have had an opportunity to see the greater concentration of power here in Washington. When the federal government puts money info projects, there is a tendency to exercise control." He added he believes education is ‘one thing that belongs to the states.” Cites Roads Example As an example of federal controls following fe d e r al grants, Knowland cited a provision in the federal highway law enacted last year. The provision requires states accepting highway grants to pay the pevailing wage in the construction area. Asked if it took him long to make his decision against the administration school bill. Knowland said he “had some doubts for some time." He said he thought the administration’s original plan, calling only for loans and loan guarantees, "could perhaps be justified.” Jobless Pay Claims Decrease In State INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The Indiana Employment Security Division reported today the number of claims for unemployment compensation dropped by 5,000 last week to 39,297, compared with the week before. *
