CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Mrs. Grace

Sox, and her son, Chuck, vice
president. are seeing eye-to-eye on
the Chandler question.
Before Chuck returned home
yesterday from the baseball ses-
sions in St. Petersburg, Fla, Mrs.
Comiskey read that he reportedly
had been among those executives
opposing the retention of A. B.
Chandler as commissioner.
Mrs. Comiskey was credited with
declaring that such action by her
son was done without her knowl-
edge and that the White Sox would
support Chandler in any new bal
lot. She also said she was eager
to have talk with her son when
he returned.
After young Comiskey's arrival
here yesterday, everything ended
up as one big happy family. But
how Chuck voted-whether for or
against Chandler - remains q
secret.

I gave my reasons" said the "a

Coach Bones Mckinney. whose
Washington Caps face the Roches-
ter Royals tomorrow night at
Uline Arena, is not at all pleased
with his players.
They're playing like high
school boys" Bones. says. "And II
they continue to play like that
they'll continue to get beat"
The Caps are at the bottom OF
the National Basketball Associa-
tion's Eastern Division, having
won only eight of "a games.
They're grown men," says Nc
Kinney, whose patience is wearing
thin. There are no scholarships
In this league. They're working
for a living.
"I've told them not to throw
the ball away. I've drilled them
on defense and blackboard control
until it's running out of my ears
Against Philadelphia last Sat-
urday night when we got within
one point of a tie at 61-60 I said
don't make any bad passes What
happens? They make two bad
passes in a row, Phildelpahia
makes two baskets. Boom It's
all over"
Boston Game Was Different.
Bones has to smile. though,
when he thinks of the Boston
game. In that game last Wednes-
day, the Caps did everything right
and left the Celtics fioundering
some 80 points behind.
That was the best game they
played" Bones says. "Why can't
they play like that all the time?"
However, Bones still has hopes.
He feels, and so do many others,
that the Caps have much better
team than the record indicates.
Blackboard control, better passing
and a stronger defense-all of
which the Caps have shown in
some games-would put the team
back in the race.
Still smarting from their last
game with the Royals, the Caps
should need no additional incen-
tive to win tomorrow night. For
the entire team feels it was robbed
Of a victory against the Royals.
The Royals won, 1911, but Jack
Coleman's field goal, which pro-
vided the margin, and the sound
ing of the horn ending the game
were practically simultaneous. The
Caps and most of the fans were
of the opinion that Coleman's goal
was too late. However, officials
ruled otherwise.

The Federal Spotlight
BY Joseph Young

Tens of thousands of Federal
employees here probably will be
ordered to use up their accumu-
lated annual leave during the next
few months.
This is the result of a letter
sent to all of the Government S
independent agencies by Chair
man Thomas of the House Appro-
priations Subcommittee on the
1851 independent offices appro-
priations bill Mr.. Thomas letter
said his committee wants the
agencies to absorb all the cost
of accumulated annual leave.
In other words, Mr.. Thomas
wants the agencies to wipe out all
annual leave over and above the
regular 26 days annual vacation
time by July /. Many Federal
employees have accumulated be-
tween go and 80 days of vacation
time.
Mr.. Thomas, Texas Democrat,
and his committee feel all this ac-
cumulation could cost the Gov
ernment millions of dollars in any
future reduction-in force pro-
gram. because Federal agencies
have to pay outgoing employees
cash for all their unused annual
leave.
That's why the independent
agencies probably will have to or
der their employees to use up all
their accumulated annual leave
in excess of the regular 26 days.
Mr.. Thomas is insistent that &C

only be stopped but wiped out.
