Special to the Collegian
- RARRISBURG„Nov 17—Chan
ces ,of ',a new five-million-dollar
grant from,the General State Au
thmity to the Pennsylvania State
College grew' dimmet than ever
today, with the sweeping Repub
lican victory at the polg last week
adding stiength to the belief that
the College's anticipated new pro
gram would be delayed at least un
til next year if not longer
This fact became evident het(
today as reports from authorita
tive sources indicated the Author
ity board, consisting of Gov.
Geoige H Earle,,State Tieasurer
F Clair Ross, Auditor Geneial
Wanes E Habeas and othci state
officials, prepared to meet and de
cide the future fate of the,gigan
tic body which has launched a 65-
million-dollar state-wide construc
tion program
Inasmuch as Judge - Arthin. H
James, Goveinor-elect, was a critic
of. the building;:ptogram, it was
Jielieved_her#. 7 that....the4;katlior
board; oin'piised - mostly of defeated',
Democrats, may decide to scrap
plans foi additional grants rather
than push the , opening of the new
plograni by January 1, only 17
days before the inauguration of the
opposition administration, which
may In may not approve , of the
idea.
Meanwhile, federal orficials in
Washington indicated that nearly
all of the PWA funds available
'under the piesent extension had
been allocated and that only by
quick action could the state salvage
