The six-bill package earlier had been approved by the Senate. Although passing the House easily, the measure was not without its strong opponents.

Ogilvie had gone lative leaders to appoint members to the state Board of Education.

But the parochiaid bills took the spotlight. Rep. Eugene Schlickman, It-Arlington Heights, the House sponsor, said he hopes the legislation will provide a "conclusive, definitive decision" from the state Supreme Court on state aid to church-run schools. Schlickman, a leader of the five-year fight to enact parochiaid, argued that it is needed to prevent students in private by Ogilvie. but still is short of the amount sought by Michael Bakalis, state superintendent of public Instruction.
