hav�. the following harmful effects : �-
1. By placing distribution of funds. in the hands of

dominated, it could lead to lessening of the amount or proportion
of aids received by urban school districts ;
2. By lessening the proportion of total Federal aids
� which must be spent for educationally deprived children, it
• would permit diversion of these fun.ds from tYie educ`ationally

� 3. It would place ultimate authority for deciding the
