groups feel that at least some
chance exists. if the two civil
service units act soon.
A number of bills to repeal the
rider have been sponsored in the
House. However. Chairman Rees
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee has not yet set hearings
on the legislation. Mr.. ReeS is
waiting to see what the admin
istration's position is on the bill
before taking an action. In turn,
the administration can't deter
mine policy on the measure until
the three Civil Service Commits

their recommendation.
On the Senate side, Chairman
Carlson has not scheduled hear

the new Republican heads of the
various departments and agen-

Democratic predecessors found
the administrative difficulties

UNJUST DISMISSALS-Rep-
resentative Morrison, Democrat,
of Louisiana has sponsored a bill
to protect non-veterans in Gov
ernment from unjust diSmissals.
Mr.. Morrison, one of the top
members of the Civil Service
Committee, says he has discov-
cred a number of cases IN which
loyal and capable employees are
being "railroaded out of the civil
service by arbitrary and capri
cious acts of their superiors."
Mr.. Morrison said these cases
have been particularly fragrant
in the Defense Department.
The bill would give non-vet-
Grams the same appeal rights to
the Civil Service Commission in
cases Of removal or suspension
that veterans now have. The
measure also would give the CSC
power to enforce it's ruling in
favor of an employe by requiring
the agency to take him back.

Fun-FiIed Coaching Era Ends
As Doc Carlson Retires at Pitt

1.-THE score was supposed to
be nothing-nothing. But Penn
State wouldn't cooperate. We
did our part. We got the Zero"
The final score was 34-21, with
the Nittany Lions on top. Doc
explained the last-half scoring
squirt this way:

thing the first half. So we played
the second half. Even though
we might have to lose, we're
willing to give them half q

POked Fun at Officials.
When officiating didn't come
up to par in his opinion, Doc
never hesitated to show his dis
pleasure. Near the end Of q
West Virginia game several
years ago he scooped up all
handy sweat shirts, gear and
the water bucket and staggered
out to the court.
Doc dumped the stuff at the
feet of a surprised referee and
doomed:
Here. You've taken every
thing else from US tonight. You
might as we'll have these, too."
The official promptly banished
Carlson from the floor. Stimu-
lated. Doc climbed into the stu
dent cheering section, tied bor-
rowed babushka 'kerchief around
his head and spent the rest of
the game yoo-hooing and stick
ing his tongue out at officials,
Carlson endeared himself to
Penn State rooters once by toss
ing peanuts and candy to spec
tators sitting behind the Pitt
bench. He tossed it of with:
1--WE won't give you much of a
game tonight, but here's some
thing for your trouble in coming
to see the game"
But Carlson's career had its
serious side, too. He was named
to Helms basketball hall of fame
In 1949. The previous year he
was awarded a cup for making
the most contributions to basket
ball, and in 1850 he coached the

!. Ray Watson is like a time
bomb planted among the top
bowlers Of the District Major
League. If the Little Tavern
teams stick of duckpin dynamite
explodes during the next three
weeks he may blow up the hopes
of half a dozen or more rivals
for the most coveted individual
bowling title in the District area.
Today Watson, q Bureau Of
Standards employ.e is second to
Frank (Bub) Guethler Of the
Glebe Radios, who has held a
precarious lead for weeks in one
Of the stiffest races in the long
history of the all-star league.
Before last nights bowling
Watson was fifth one of six
bowlers with averages of 1885,
plus. After he rolled a 440 set
his average was 127-45. In a
strong defense of his lead Gueth-
Ter chalked up 408, leaving him
with an average Of 1912.
Guethler has rolled 96 games,
Watson 81.
What worries Watson's rivals
Is his propensity for shooting
sensational sets. The 440 last
night was typical. A consistently
formidable performer, when
Watson rises above normal. he
scars. Seven times this season
the Bohemian veteran has topped
400 and only on one Of these
occasions has he rolled less than
421. In the order registered, the
big sets have been 404. $50, 421,
434, 433, 437 and 440.
Not only the size. but the
spacing of these whoppers is of
concern to Watson's rivals. Only
two came within a short period.
IF his seasons pattern is MAIN
tanned. he is a good bet to turn
in one more smashing per-
formance.
Having that fellow around in
a situation like this" says Gueth-
Ter, "is like having a gun at your
back wondering If the trigger
will be pulled"

End Of Florida Racing Means
Respite for Travelling Trainer
By Lewis r. Atchison

The close OF Florida'S four
month racing season yesterday Is
bringing a welcome respite from
committing" for Trainer Lucien
Laurin. The Canadian-born con-
ditioner has been going back
and forth a bit too much, it
seems.
Laurin has 20 horses in train
ing. a big enough task in itself.
But having two in Florida, in
cluding Crystal Boot, II at
Bowie and Is at Jamaica kept
him constantly on the go. He
has $4,000 miles on an automo-
bile not yet two years old, plus
uncounted mileage in air travel.
"The pressure has eased up
some," the 41-year-old Laurin
said. 81 started with "a horses
I've never had fewer than IS
beforehand although it's hard
to get good men, I've got two
helping me run things"
Does well With BlOndette.
One of the men is Laurin's
17-year-old son, Roger. a Junior
in st. Patrick's High School at
Miami. who supervises the care
Of the two horses in Florida.
The other assistant is Andy Gau-
thter, a brother -in-law, currently
in charge of the string at ia
maica. Laurin shuttles back and
forth between the three points,
looking after his own interests at
Bowie on stop-overs.
He's pretty good at picking
spots for his horses, too. Open
ing day at Bowie he saddled
w. E. Schlusemeyer's Blondette,
a Arst-time starter, for a victory
in a $4,000 claiming race. The
chestnut filly paid a $40 mutuel
to complete a $573.40 daily dou-
ble-one of the juiciest of the
meeting. Last Thursday Laurin
ran Blondette at Jamaica with a
claiming tag of $4,000 and won
again.
All Of the horses in Laurin's
care are owned by either Schluse-
meyer, who lives in Warrenton,
Va, or Reginald N. Webster of
Lynncroft, N. j.
Started Out as Rider.
Now in his 18th year of train
ing, after outgrowing his earlier
profession of riding, Laurin is
partial to the Bowie track. His
fondness for the place dates back
to 1916 when he ran four horses
and had three winners. The
fourth "got beat by a nose 90
to-1 shot," as he recalls it.
