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.

UN Straddles
Taut Katanga
Tightrope
By J. M. 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.

Collegian Washington Correspondent
The controversial non-Communist affidavit seems des
tined to remain in the National Defense Education Act of
1958 for at least another year ,according to reports from the
offices of two Pennsylvania legislators.
Under the existing law, students applying for govern
ment loans for education must sign these affidavits.
A bill to repeal the oath re
quirement passed the Senate
June 15.
It was sponsored by Demo
cratic Senators Joseph S. Clark
(Pa.) and John F. Kennedy
(Mass.).
Mr. Benjamin Read, legislative "It is hard to tell," he said,
assistant to Sen. Clark, said that "what action will be taken after

Both symbols of happiness in

eloquence and persuasiveness.
for her:
The delicacy of a Peridot,
combining the green of a fresh
budded leaf and golden
sunshine, gives a feeling of
eternal Spring...a ring she
will love.
for him:
A ring set with August's
companion stone, the
Sardonyx, lends distinction
to the man who wears it...
either plain or carved in cameo
or intaglio...a ring that will
be worn with pride.
