Congressmen want schools out of HEW Three Georgia congressmen are authors of a bill that would pull federal education programs out from Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) and make it a seperate function of the federal government.

The three lawmakers feel that education is too big to be lumped with health and welfare. They think it should be separated and administered as a singular service.

He said he hoped the bill would get early consideration next year.
