HEFLIN INTERESTED.IN DISTRICT SCHOOLS
Senator Hope* BillProviding Free
Text Books Will Pass at
Present Session.
Senator Heflin, Democrat, of Ala-bama expressed the hope in the Senateyesterday that the bill to provide freetext books in the junior and senior highachools of the District would be en-acted by Congress at this session. Sen-ator Heflin said an erroneous Impres-sion had been circulated to the effectthat he had defeated the bill in thelast Congress.
“It is not true,” Senator Heflin said.“I would like to see the children ofthe District of Columbia have thesebooks.” .
S-nator Heflin explained that whenthe text book bill was reported to theSenate In the old Congress, he offeredan amendment providing that nothingcontrary to the American principle ofseparation of certain States should be
f taught in books of the District. Sena-tor Heflin said that afterward he toldChairman Capper of the District com-mittee he would not insist on thatamendment to the bill, but would try to
have the legislation he advocated con-sidered separately.
Senator Capper ha* stated recentlythat the text book bill will be one ofthe first measures taken up by the Dis-trict committee during this session.
