Lawrence’s library aid bill next week, Ralph W. McComb, librarian said yesterday. McComb said that the increase represents the eventual amount to be received annually if the bill should pass, but that the Pattee Library would probably receive only a partial amount of this sum next year. Under the bill, 27 districts would be set up with regional Prexy Gets Suggestions On 'Corps' The Senate Committee on the Peace Corps has submitted a report to President Eric A. Walker giving recommenda tions on the implementation of a Peace Corps training pro gram and a service training course at the University, ac cording to Dr. Robert K. Mur ray, committee chairman. Murray said yesterday that the 60-page report is an elaborate study containing a variety of rec ommendations for all areas of study at the University. The results of the report will be made public as soon as they have been evaluated, Murray said. The report is divided into three parts, Murray said. The first part contains the philoso phy of the committee in setting up a Peace Corps training pro gram and a service training course. The second part includes an in ventory of the existing facilities at the University in terms of ex isting teachers for possible courses and facilities to accommodate classes, he said. The third part, he said, lists the recommendations of the commit tee according to studies of future University facilities and research on existing training programs in other schools.

Each district would receive 12% cents per capita plus the additional aid to the library center. McComb said Pattee would be come one of these centers, which means that it would provide local libraries with supplements to their supplies of books. The size of the districts set up under the proposed bill have not yet been determined, he said, but Pattee's district would probably encompass an area larger than Centre County. “Passage of this bill definitely would mean that we would have to expand our facilities,” McComb said. Pattee now operates on a cour tesy inter-library loan agreement which enables it to exchange ma terials with two libraries in this | area, but the new aid under the [proposed bill would mean that help could be extended to more [libraries in the vicinity, he said. The Associated Press reported yesterday that prospects for final passage of the bill were greatly I improved when Senate Demo crats and Republicans had com promised on administration of the library aid program. Sen. Jo Hays, D-Centre, said yesterday that the controversy was over library control by a state board and control by local library boards. The Senate compromised by amending the bill so that local libraries may choose to ask for Lstate aid. If they accept it, they may have five years to improve their standards to meet the quali fications of the state library board which would be established, Hays said. Before the bill can be passed, it will have to go back to the House for final approval of the Senate amendments, Hays said. However, he added that a major ity of legislators agreed last week that they will approve the bill when the House and Senate re convene next Monday. fOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA..
