ntasbc GOP Assails Bills Asking 100 Million For Construction ALBANY. Republicans a 'minority Democrats yesterday with pulling a "fantastic figure out of their political hat" in asking $100,000,000, for new school construction. Companion bills to provide the capital grant were by Sen. Samuel Greenberg and Assemblyman Eugene F. Bannigan, both of Brooklyn.

The measure would divide the fund equally between New York city and upstate. Last Ditch Fight Democratic legislative leaders, in announcing the start of their promised "last-ditch fight" for the money, said the Dewey administration had "poured $195,000,000 into highways since-the end 'of the war, but has not been able to provide one single penny for the construction of vitally needed schools." Meanwhile, Gov. Dewey sighed into law a bill continuing the life of a temporary state commission studying the-milk price spread for another year to Feb. 15, 1950. The measure was the second approved by the 1949 legislature.

Dewey 'announced that a $3,458,860 deficiency appropriation bill passed'by the senate and assembly Monday night, had been designated No. 1. The budget bill did not require the governor's signature. Companion bills introduced yesterday by two Democrats would create a "little Hoover commission to survey, means of reducing the cost of state government and streamlining some of its function." Sen. Harold I.

Panken and Assemblyman James T. both of sponsored the 1 measure. Parker said 'the ''stream- iining of state government -will re-j suit in making more funds able" to meet demands being made for state financial aid. The state education department estimated the state would need 51,000,000,000 -worth of new schools before 1952. The state board of regents has asked for $18.000,000 in state aid for that purpose this year.
