Kennedy, the first Roman Cath- lic to serve in the White House, made a special point of noting hat parochial and private elementary and secondary schools vould be excluded from the program.

"In accordance wrth the clear prohibition of the Constitution, no elementary or secondary school unds are allocated for constructing church schools or paying sation. Labor's high command termed this the nation's "most pressing problem." It asked Congress to adopt im mediately bills offered by the Kennedy Administration in this field, along with amendments AFL-CIO leaders outlined in Washington last week. George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, presided at the closed- door meeting of the council anc later met with reporters for a question and answer session. Meany said the council had no intention of taking up the fligh engineers -wildcat walkout that has tied up airline travel across the nation. He said he had done everything he could "and more," but to no avail.

in his opinion the only solution to the multiple labor problems facing the airlines is a single union. Airlines and Trans World Airlines, two of the nation's biggest air carriers, announced they will halt all flight operations at midnight. Most of their service already had been halted. They sent furlough notices to most of their 44,000 ewployes- 20,000 by TWA and .14,000 by American. Only those needed for housekeeping functions were to be kept on.

Pan American also said it was laying off all its 20,000 employes in a move that will shut down all its flights--except possibly two Tuesday. The tide of layoffs planned by three other airlines would bring the total to 74,000.

Kennedy, in an effort to wir over lawmakers, fearful of federal control of schools, said "education must remain a matter of state and load control, and higher education a matter of individual choice." But he said the nation's "twir goals must be: a new standard ol excellence in education--and the availability of such excellence to all who are willing and able to pursue it." "This is a modest program with ambitious goals," Kesnedy told Congress. "For some 40 years the Congress has wrestled with this problem and searched for a workable solution.

I believe tha we now have such a solution; ant that this Congress in this year wil make a land-mark contribution to American education."
