For Aid Is Need WASHINGTON (A)-The White House conference on education went on record 2-1 yesterday in favor of federal aid to education. But a majority held that federal funds should go' to states "only on a basis of demonstrated needs." A conference report, giving this summation, said the four-day session had come to the conclusion the federal government "should increase its financial participation in public education." It said that of those favoring increased federal aid, an "over- whelming majority" approved the use of federal funds to help build schools.

"But, if the impact of this day on the public can save lives today and bring about greater safety on the highways in the future, it will have served a real purpose." The President's committee pro- moted S-D Day to dramatize the idea that careful driving and walk- ing can save lives.

Prof. Theodore Newcomb of the psychology department said "whenever it happens that people get sorted out involuntarily and it's observed by others, some injury is being done to them psychologically." The discussion was the first in a series sponsored by the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Another panelist, Oscar Grusky of the psychology department, stressed that roommates are 'ripe for attitude change" toward each " other's races. "The more you learn about a person," he explained, "the less you come to view him as a Wl if racialnstereotype."
