Soviet asks for looser US visas and less fingerprinting
The Soviet Union says it wants to increase U S visits and exchanges with the United States but calls for changes in American visa rules. It opposes fingerprinting and special questionnaires for private travelers and suggests a mutual, nondiscriminatory approach. The State Department gave no official comment. President Eisenhower has proposed possibly waiving fingerprinting for temporary aliens on a reciprocal basis. The article also notes the probate of Charles J Blawer of Thurmont, with his daughter Agnes Sweeney and two others named executrices and executor, and a division of the estate among his three children.
