Senate Votes to Repeal
Red Disclaimer Affidavit
For College Loan Program
WASHINGTON UP — The Sen
ate has voted to repeal the Com
munist disclaimer affidavit re
quired under the government’s
college student loan program.
Instead, a member of a subver
sive organization who accepted
such a loan would face up to five
years in prison and a maximum
fine of $10,000. A loyalty oath
still would be required.
The Senate acted Thursday in
passing a House bill that makes
the same changes in the law af
fecting National Science Founda
tion Fellowships. The House now
will have to concur before the
disclaimer affidavit can be re
pealed.
When President Kennedy was
a senator he twice tried and failed
to get the affidavit repealed. About
20 universities have declined to
take part in the student loan pro
gram because of the disclaimer
requirement.
Russian Fishermen
Sweep Bottom Clean of
Fish and Crabs Off Kodiak

Soviet vessels moved into an area

and American crab pots.
“We were just forced to pick up
our pots and leave,” he said.

Tornado Kips Through
Northeast Edge of Seattle
SEATTLE IT A small tor
nado drilled a path of destruction
across the northeast edge of Seat
tle Friday, shattering windows,
uprooting trees and splintering
timbers.
Then the twister spun out over
Lake Washington, turning into a
waterspout. When it reached the
east shore of the lake it cut a
swath through large trees and then
lifted and disappeared toward the
northeast.
A Weather Bureau spokesman
said it was western Washington’s
first confirmed tornado.
Hardest hit was an area bound
ed roughly by 44th and 50th Ave
nues NE and NE 72nd and 75th
Sts.
The tornado dipped from a heavy
black cloud. It stabbed View Ridge
and swirled to the Sand Point
Naval Air Station, where it peel
ed heavy asphalt and tar paper
from a hangar room and damaged
about 15 automobiles. No planes
were damaged, however.
Atom Bomb Joke
Holds Up Plane Flight
SAN FRANCISCO '.T' — United
Airlines stewardess Beebee Sto
weel! asked a passenger if she
might hang up his top coat.
"Wait until I take the atom
bomb out of the pocket,” she
quoted Sherwood Sprague as say
ing.
Sprague, of Pittsfield, Mass.,
apologized but his baggage was
searched and the plane's depar
ture Thursday delayed 45 min
utes. Sprague remained behind,
charged with making a false bomb
report.
Friday, his attorney admitted
that "there is no defense of the
asininity and utter stupidity of
Sprague's statement," but told
U.S. District Judge Alfonso Zir
poli no one could take the threat
seriously.
Zirpoli dismissed the charge,
noting "it was obviously a joke,”
and adding the government hadn't
proved its charge anyway.
