Penna. Governor Seen Favoring School Aid HARRISBURG (NC)-An interfaith group represent ing Citizens for Educational Freedom has presented 150, 000 petitions to Gov. Raymond Shafer of Pennsylvania in sup port of a bill that would provide state aid to non-pUblic schools. The petitions contained a plea for the governor's support of leg islation which would allow the state to pay non-public schools for teaching secular subjects.
