BUNDLE A WEEK ACHE 100 lbs. of baste makes 1470 boxes for gency life boat Save every scrap! Slight Legislators To Study Needs ALBANY- slight upward adjustment of state aid for education, possiblta restricted to relief of some rural school districts, was indicated today as legIslators began study of A report on Anancial needs of education. The report, compiled by the State Division of the Budget, suggested legislative consideration for some Increase of the $106.400,000 state aid phasized the belief, that appropriation for hiddevel. emactual needs of New York City schools do not square with claims of those demanding the 1943-44 level of state aid. Finance committees of the Senate and Assembly asked for the report as basis of reaction to demands for restoration of $7,800,000 trimmed from in the 1944-45 recomeducation, mending the cut, Governor Dewey adhered to A statutory (Friedsam) formula that bases education allotments on pupil attendance, which has dropped sharply.

D. Mallory Stephens, Republican chairman the Assembly Ways and Means committee, said the group would meet early next week to consider the report and begin drafting whatever special legislation it beNieves required. The Budget division defended the to better school management and state aid reduction as an incentive made no specific recommendation but indicated adjustments, 11 any, should apply to one-fourth of the budgeted total. Less than a of the total state aid appropriation for 1944-45, the division said, is based on 1943-44 attendance while the remainder is reimbursement for past operation. Asserting the latter amount calls for no adjustment because school budgets involved are completed and in operation, the division said "with respect to the remaining 25 percent any proper adjustment would not involve a large sum." The report termed "quite erroneous" statements by advocates of increased state aid that the reduction would "play havoc" with New York City's school system.

In answer to claims that decrease of pupil attendance is not sufficient to allow comparable adjustment of teaching duties, division said a New York City high school enrollment decline of 8.2 percent in 1943 has been followed by decreases of 5.7 percent in teachers and 7.2 percent in number of classes.
