Senator Heflin explained that when the text book bill was reported to the Senate in the old Congress, he offered an amendment providing that nothing contrary to the American principle of separation of certain States should be taught_in books of the District. Sena- tor Heflin said that afterward he told Chairman Capper of the District com- mittee he would not insist on that amendment to the bill, but would try to have the legislation he advocated con- sidered separately. Senator Capper has stated recently that the text book bill will be one of the first measures taken up by the Dis- trict committee during this session. ‘46 finest custom-tailoring precepts. sewn, assuring perfect fit and distinctive style.
