The next witnesses are Miss Selma Borchardt of the Greater Washington Central Labor Council and Mr. Don B. Goodloe. STATEMENTS OF SELMA BORCHARDT, CHAIRMAN, EDUCATION COMMITTEE, GREATER WASHINGTON CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL AND DON B. GOODLOE, LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE, TEACHERS UNION NO. 6, AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS Senator YARBOROUGH. Miss Borchardt, you are the first witness in this panel of two. Will you proceed, please? Miss BORCHARDT. I am Selma Borchardt, appearing before you today as chairman of the Education Committee of the Greater Washington Central Labor Council. Our support of the principles set forth in S. 580 is typical of the earnest support being given to this proposed legislation by city, central, and State labor bodies throughout the country.

STUDENT ASSISTANCE We would emphasize the urgent need for at least twice the amount provided in this bill for student loans, for student work study programs, for undergraduate and graduate students. It should be remembered that our Government is not asked under this bill to give a free college education to all Americans who may want it at the college level. This title, title I, provides for loans to be repaid with interest, and for payment for services to be rendered by the students. This outlay is, we contend, not an expenditure but an investment in our country. To us in the labor movement, this proposal is of greatest importance; that is, the proposal of loans and, which we point our later, we want some scholarships also. We believe that the young man who comes |
