OFFERS LOAN AMENDMENT WASHINGTON (UI'lP - Rep. Cornelius E. Gallagher. D-N.J today proposed an amendment to the National Defense Education Act to provide college tuition loans (or "average talent" stu dents. Gallagher said his amendment I would call for increased funds to permit lending to larger num ber of students. Under the act. qualified college students may be west side, and into the north Telegraphers at Black Butte are in touch with every freight and passenger tram to keep formed on their movements with the train dispatchers. But folks who work at Black Butte leave there carrying the belief that their duty is chiefly to prevent rolling stock from be coming lost through the w I n d storms which sweep down from tlie slopes of Ml. Shasta and scatter out among the lava rocks surrounding the station. Some of the windy stories thev tell are different to believe, but railway records bear them out. One box car was overturned while moving, connecting with cars on cither end, and its roof was blown completely off. Thel incident occurred at Dry Can yon, not far from Weed. Tills did happen, according to Vernon Holderman, resident sig nal maintenance foreman there for 17 years, lie also stated that snow falls while wind blows at such velocities.

Do not get the impression that this unusual railway station, re sembling railway stations so lit tle, is a remote spot. It is about a mile off U.S. Highway 9a, some three miles from Weed, and about a half dozen miles from Mount Shasta. Telegraphers say that one must not attempt to sleep there at night If the howling of coyotes in teferes with slumber. The ani mals hand up and yell all night long if a storm is approaching If no storm threatens, tltey may not howl more than half the en tire night.
