PAGE TWO Editorial Oninio An Unhonorable In House Committee It was with expected dismay that we viewed the re- port from our Washington correspondent that the bill to eliminate the loyalty oath for student loans under the National Defense Education Act of 1958 will probably die an unnoticed death in a House committee, And after it had appeared to be well on its way. It passed the Senate in mid-June but failed to make it through the convention-minded House before the Western mush began. With returning Democrats determined to make an im pressive last ditch effort to push through as many of their platform paving measures as possible and the Republicans just as determined to prevent the Democrats from storing up campaign' fodder, the loyalty oath bill will probably meet an unhonorable fate in the cylindrical file. It appears that its only slim hope might be if Jack Kennedy who co-sponsored the bill along with Joseph Clark in the Senate might remember how strongly he was backed by the "college crowd" during his recent campaign to the presidential nomination and might take time to ask his boys to see that it gets through the Democratic controlled House. Maybe the American students should react as Jap anese, Korean, Turkish and others around the world have and exert a little visible pressure in Washington. It is disappointing, for the superfluous oath which degrades the integrity of the American student had brought clamors for action from insulted campuses across the nation, / presenting one of the few united fronts for student action. But the bill will die and the United States, the sup posed showcase of democracy, will only show to the world how deep and lasting are the scars of McCarthyism.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The United Nations, trying to provide a security force to replace Belgian soldiers in the Congo without getting in volved in the new country's political affairs, is walking a tightrope in Katanga. The provincial premier is threatening to fight rather than let UN occupation produce a de facto reunion with the Leopold ville faction. Observers discount this threat, but he is making a show of mobilizing. The Katanga armed .forces are Belgian-officered. Belgians are against UN entry and won't promise to get out in a hurry. Belgians fear the Leopoldville government threatens their inter ests through Communist leanings. They are trying to preserve large business interests in Katanga. Katanga could make it, eco nomically, as a separate state. The rest of Congo would be un stable. UN accepted Congo member ship as a single state. In 1950 the UN took do arms to defend South Korea against aggression. The organization also has used troops to enforce peace in the Middle East. This time aggression is not involved. The UN troops, re gardless of intent, hav pro vided time for the Leopoldville faction to organize. The Bel gians have provided time for the Kantaga faction to or ganize The Security Council ordered what is being done in the Leo poldville area with the idea that it would apply nationwide. Since then the situation has .changed. Nov its order involves a civil dispute which had not taken clear• form at the time. And it also in volves the Belgian business inter ests. At the worst, this means an in ternational army fighting to en force a Security Council concept. At the best, it means freezing the ball until Congolese factions can he brought tog2lher and a constitutional government formed to protect all political factions and foreign business interests, which are also essential to a sta ble Congolese state. _ l4 :. gPfl Vai,lY - ts; ' ' ' 9 , : 111 ,c lu4lniSu qd gy . t - TAX!: A, ri 1 / 4 P" - 0 5' , Arls 4 ' AO ;AO ,51*floh St .
