Senate Passes Oath Repeal Bill Finally by 16-14 Vote

Amendment Concerning Retraction of Oath Added

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

By a vote of 16-14, the State Senate yesterday passed the Teachers' Oath Repeal Bill to be engrossed and returned to the House. A tie would have meant the Bill's shelving.

The deciding vote was cast by Senator Joseph A. Langone who is thought to be against the Bill and trying to place the burden of the decision on Governor Hurley.
