BLAMED ON HEFLIN Board of Education Group Says Alabaman Obstructed Consideration. | | e i, | | | | Blame for the failure of the free text- book bill to pass the last session of Con- gress was laid upon Senator Heflin of | Alabama by the Board of Education’s | legislative committee in its report on | school legislation to the board late yes- terday. 3 At the same meeting, a delegation of 85 Washington parents appeared before | the board requesting it to petition | President Hoover to include a statement | of approval of the bill's passage in his | message to the coming special session ONRTESS. O(Vgor(iy of the action before the board brought from Senator Heflin the state- ment that he would attempt to get the measure up in the special session of Congress. and that if it could not be passed with his amendments would | not make any effort to block its passage. Senato Hefflin, the committee said. obstructed the consideration of the bill | which was on the unanimous consent calendar, when he insisted upon a vote on amendments concerning the teach- | ing of what he termed the “American | doctrine of separation of church and | state,” which he sought to incorporate in the bill. The Senator refused to withdraw his fight for the amendments even when Henry L. Gilligan, chairman of the committee, pointed out that fail- ure of the bill might mean that many | poor children would be deprived of a high school education, it was said. Gilligan's Statement. “The actual re for the defeat of the measure should be laid at the feet of Senator Heflin of Alabama,” Mr. Gil- read from the report. . his great zeal to force a vote his amendments. designed to prev the teaching of anything in our pul schools contrary to the ‘American doc- | trine of separation of church and | State’ it was impossible to secure con- | sideration of the bill by the Senate. The chairman of this committee plead- ed with the Senator not to allow the defeat of the bill by the insistence upon his amendments, and called his atten- tion to the fact that such insistence would result in depriving many poor boys and girls of the District of Co- lumbia of a high school education. The chairman also urged the Senator to give him one example of any such un- American teaching in our schools at the present, promising to bring such exam- | ple to the attention of the board at| once. No such example was forthcom- ing. The people of the District of Co- lumbia may properly lay the blame for the defeat of the bill on Senator Heflin.” | Headed by Robert Willlams of the | McKinley High School Parent-Teacher | Association, the group of parents which | appeared before the board yesterday was virtually the same body which re- cently appealed to Senator Phipps of Colorado when that Senator was be- | free text book bil!
