In neither case was there any

WASHINGTON R-Rep. Rees (R
-Kan) called on the Eisenhower
administration today to spell out
in public detail the operation of
the governments employe security
program, the center of new cam
paign controversy.
Rees, chairman Of the House
Civil Service Committee, set Oct.
20 as a deadline for a report by
the Civil Service Commission "set-
ting forth specifically what consti-
tute subversive actions which are
the basis for separation of federal
employees under a security pro-
gram"
Rees, staunch supporter of the
administration, spoke up in the
wake of yesterdays announcement
that 6,926 federal employees had
been separated from their jobs as
security risks of one kind or an
other.
Democrats denounced the report
as a hoax"
Rees praised the administration
for prompt action" in moving
against subversives, but also urged
the Civil Service Commission to
dig into its files for data to explain
the operations of the Eisenhower
security program.
He said he had "always felt"
that any program dealing with en-
ploye problems "should be one
based upon specific legislation
spelling out more directly by Con-
gress the policy which is involved.
The present program was set up
by presidential order effective May
%, 1853.
II also believe that those who
are disloyal or subversive should
be fired for that reason, with ques-
tons of doubt being resolved in the
interest of the government" Rees
said in a telephone interview from
his home in Kansas.

It's Mister Howe now, if you

F. Howe, who returned to the home

Monday after more than two years
duty which took him to Japan and
Korea.
The marine officer, son of Mayor

discharge from the service at San
Diego, California, where he had been
stationed since returning from japan
and Korea in September.
Although he has no definite plans
for the future, Howe will probably
enter teaching and coaching, the pro-
fession he trained for at Northwest
ern university. He received his bach
elor of science degree in education in
June of 1852 and entered the service
that October.
During his years with the Marines,
Jim participated in various sports ae-
tivities and played on the famed Ma

Mid Week Cage Games For
High Schools On Way Out

Mid-week basketball in Bluff
ton and the rest of Ohio for
scholastic teams is apparently on
its way oIt with the start of
the 1866 cage season.
Principal Gerhard Buhler noted
this week that the principals of
Ohio high schools voted at their
last meeting in Columbus in
October to reduce the number of
games during the basketball sea-
son. The vote was 757 to rs in
favor of the referendum.
The action, according TO Prin-
cipal Buhler, is expected to help
a move in recent years to cut
down on the number of mid-week
games. He added that in addition
TO relieving the strain of players
in next days classes, it would also
eliminate keeping many students
out so late during the school
week. Local coaches and the ad-
ministration favored the action it
was pointed out.
III. w. Emsviler, commissioner
of the Ohio High School Athletic
Association. announced last week
that with the. action non-football
playing schools would have their
schedules reduced from % to 20
games while schools with grid
teams would play Is games
rather than 20.
