I should like. however. to draw his attention to the fact that the things I complained about were. I felt. distinct misrepresentations applicable to my State. reflecting discreditably upon a wonderful people in my State. Upon this question of education I would like to issue of February 6. 1961. at page 1756. my first quoted misrepresentation from the telecast: Approximately 1 out of every 500 children whose parents are still migrant laborers. finishes grade school. Approximately. 1 of every 5.000 ever finishes high school. And there is no case upon the record of the child of a migrant laborer ever receiving a college diploma. I wish to ask my distinguished friend if he regards that statement as a friendly. factual. restrained statement of the kind which he has been making in his able presentation or. instead. as an extravagant overstatement of what is admittedly a serious problem in the field of education?
