The four who <>pix>scd greater state support to schools included 3 Democrats and a. Republican represen ative. Those in favor included .18 Republicans and 51 Democrats. A Republican representative who wouldn't answer flatly said he was “inclined to favor” an increase. The question, worded in the most imple way to avoid complications or shading, might have received a modified response if it had nought to learn whether the lawmakers favored an increase due to higher enrollments along the current distribution percentage lines or whether they would increase the percen age of the education,, dollar the state provide.' However, the purpose of the question was to discover if the legislators are generally sympathetic to 'he financing problems of public education, and the response showed they overwhelmingly are. Similarly, there might have

been a different reaction if the question bn college budget review had been worded dtfferen - iy- , J Nevertheless, the response indicated the lawmakers almost unanimou ly want to delve deeply into the requests for millions of dollars from Indiana and ■Purdue ,Universities and Ball State and Indiana S ate Colleges before they approve that portion of the education budget for the 1965-67 biennium. On a related question concerning whether the legislators favor “reduction in power of th» Ind'ana State Board of A- - there was a close division. Twenty-seven said "yes” and 26 said "no." There has been considerable criti c I s m, particularly by schoolmen, that the acCoun s board has over-stretched its authority, by Issuing o ders on school procedures in cases where it contends laws do not cover the questions involved. ...Many legisla ors did not express -opinions on this question. Some said" they did not tgel well enough informed. One Democratic representative said he did not favor a power reduction but he believed a "change in re pnijgibility” is in order. The board of accounts had issued a rule requiring changes

All three hostages were released unharmed. It was not immediately determined il the tall, sandy-haired bandit took any money from the branch of the Citizens & Southern Bank in the Buckhead section of North Atlanta. Police Capt. J. T. Marler said the gunman, described as between 6-4 and 6-6 feet tall and wearing a blue trench coat, held Ray West, a bank employe, Mrs. West and their children hostage at their home during the night.

New Democratic Congressmen Meet WASHINGTON (UPD — Party leaders invited freshman Democratic lawmakers to a skull session today on how to get ahead in Congress by really trying. One thing the neophytes were sure to be told was that the congressional seniority system —which looks so bad from the bottom — gets progressively more attractive as members climb up its rungs. Since the invita ions included an evening reception at the White House, and since the Democratic National Committee was paying travel expenses, most of the 71 new Democrat in .the House and possibly some of the five new Democratic senators were expected to be on hand. A party spokesman said this was not a sales meeting. No pitch was planned for medicare or any other administration legislative proposals. The main thing was to give the new members a head start by letting them know in advance some of the problems, and possible solut’ons therof, facing members of Congress. President Jbhnson, however, left little doubt that he considered the White House reception as an miportant. prelude to the new Congress. He asked that as ■many of his cabinet members as possible attend the affair. Last mon h the President told his cabinet he regarded each department and agency’s congressional liaison man as vitally important. He also urged cabinet members and other top officials to have frequent contac’s with legislators, presumably to help smooth the path of administration programs.

Butkus !s DPI Lineman Os 64 NEW YORK (UPD - Crewcut Dick Butkus, an All-Ameri-ca selection as Illinois center the last two years, today was named 1964 lineman of the year by United Press International. The 6-foot-3, 237-pound Chicago native collected a total of 108 points to outdistance Notre Dame end Jack Snow, who totalled 9 points, by a sub.tantial margin in the balloting conducted among 259 sportswriters and sportscasters. Butkus, 21,- the only repeating All-America, plays boh ways. On defense he figures in more bone bruising tackles than any of his teammates and on offense he centers the ball. A top draft pick in both professional leagues, Butkus chose to sign with the hometown Chicago Bears of the National Football League even though the New York Jets offered him more money. The Denver Broncos of the American Football League made him their first pick but sold their rights to the Jets. Bu’kus has tremendous range and speed for his size — an ideal combination for the professional ranks. He succeeds Scott Appleton as the UPI lineman of the year. The former Texas guard graduated to play in the AFL, as did his predecessor, Minnesota tackle Bobby Bell. Indiana Basketball COLLEGE Notre Dame 100. Mich. State 93.
