John Glenn and Howard Metzenbaum say.

Aides to the Ohio Democrats say that two months ago, mail was heavily in favor of the legislation, but now it is evenly split. At first, proposals for a tax credit were aimed only at parents who pay college tuition. But the U. S. House voted 237-158 on June 1 for a plan which also would allow parents of private and parochial school students to claim the tax breaks.

The expanded plan has raised questions about the cost of the tax credit program, the impact on public schools and the constitutionality of aid to parochial schools. "I WANT to wait until I see what gets on the (Senate) floor, but I'm leaning toward the President's plan," Glenn said. President Carter is proposing to increase federal grants, loans and scholarships so more money would be available to low and middle-income families, who have had the greatest difficulty coping with rising education costs. Carter has called the tax credit plan inflationary and has threatened to veto it. Glenn said he favors the Carter plan because "it would target more money to those who need it most." Glenn said he questions whether the government can afford the loss in revenue.

ESTIMATES of the cost of a tuition tax credit program run as high as $5.3 billion a year. The bill approved in the House would cost $1.2 billion in 1981. It would allow a tax credit of $250 for each college student and $100 for Poll says most like tax plans New York Times Service BOSTON The waiting is hard for Maura Shannon. Right now, Boston University is deciding how much financial aid it can give her next year. Costs are going up about $500, her father has retired and, if Miss Shannon does not get a hefty increase, she might have to stay out of school for a year or perhaps leave entirely.

Congress is debating various proposals to give parents tax credits for tuition payments toward higher education. A companion proposal would extend the credits to private elementary and secondary schools. Congress is almost certain to pass the bill and the the President is expected to veto it. STATISTICS show that incomes are increasing as fast as or faster than average college costs, but for many middle-class families the burden of college education, especially with several children in school, is still very real and very painful. More young people are going to college all the time.

Census data show that the number of whites in higher education increased 50 percent in the last decade, and for blacks the figure more than tripled. But the cost is causing many students to limit their choices and to make compromises. They go to public schools instead of private ones, seek two-year degrees instead of bachelor's degrees or study only part-time. One example, is Rick Whiteside, a senior from Cleveland, whose mother earns about $22,000 in her government job. This disqualifies him from receiving any aid, so he works at several jobs to help pay college bills at Boston University.

In addition, he only attends school part-time and takes courses over the summer, when tuition is less. Pl'BLIC OPINION polls show overwhelming support for almost any proposal that promises to provide some relief. At the same time, there is widespread recognition among tuition-paying parents that current tax credit proposals cannot help very much. The most generous bill would provide a credit of $500, but the average yearly cost of attending a four-year private institution is now $4,800, and at Boston Universi-" ty, which is typical of more expensive colleges, the total will hit next year. "It's really throwing a dog a crumb," John Beggs, an account representative for Westinghouse in Pittsburgh, said.

"I think the whole system is due for an overhaul." To many economists and college administrators, the fact that tax credits are only a "crumb" is a good reason for defeating them. Robert Huff, director of financial aid at Stanford University, called tax credit a "very expensive but ineffective" remedy because much of the relief would not go to needy students. GOLDEN ARBORYITAES GOLDEN TIP BLUE VASE Large Size GOLDEN BIOTAS Glenn Metzenbaam each private or parochial school student. The Senate is considering a bill which would cost $5.3 billion in 1980. It would allow a tax credit of $500 for each tuition-paying student in a college, vocational, elementary or secondary school.

About 25 percent of the money in the Senate plan would go to parents of private and parochial school children. ACCORDING to Metzenbaum staff aide Roy Myers, Metzenbaum is most concerned about the possibility that $1.3 billion in tax credits to parents of private and parochial school children could weaken public school systems by giving parents an incentive to take children out public schools. "This has raised doubts about the wisdom of the proposals," Myers said. "Sen. Metzenbaum is concerned about the private sector provisions." HEW Secretary Joseph Califano Jr.

reacted strongly to the $5.3 billion package, saying it "would deliver a devastating blow to public education" and would "stand the American tradition of public education on its head." Atty. Gen. Griffin Bell said in March that "tuition tax credits of the sort contemplated (by the Senate) would be held unconstitutional" because of constitutional guarantees of separation of church and state. THE CHIEF supporters are the U. S.

Catholic Conference, the Federation of Catholic Teachers and the National Association of Catholic School Teachers. Opposed are the National Education Association, AFL-CIO, the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP and the National Council of Churches. Sister Margaret Ann Freeman, superintendent of Akron region schools of the Cleveland Catholic Diocese, said free choice is the key issue. "It will be almost impossible for us to keep up the enrollments we have without help," she said. The tax credits will not threaten public school, enrollment, Sister Freeman said.

"I don't see anybody rushing over to Catholic schools because of tuition tax credits. "I really believe in the good that comes from competition. But if we don't get help, the public schools will become a monopoly for at least the middle But she said that if all 7.7 million students in private and parochial schools were to enroll in public schools in 1980, the increase in the national cost of education would be $17 billion.
