Castenani Demands
Chance al Title After
1rouncing Durando
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Rocky
Castellani sought a middleweight
title shot today after trouncing
Ernie Durando for his eighth
straight victory.
We'll get up what ever guar
antee is needed to assure Rocky
a crack at either Bobo Olson
or Kid Gavilan for Cleveland
this summer" said Alvin Mai
man. Castellani's co-manager.
If Olson. the l60-pound cham
pion. beats back the challenge
of Gavilan, the welterweight
king, in Chicago April 2, such
an outdoor show seems likely.
But If Gavilan takes Bobo's
crown. he'll have to give Olson
a return bout. That would kill
Castellani's hopes for a summer
shot.
I'll be happy to meet either
Olson or Gavilan," said the g.
year-old Castellani. Il know
I'm ready for any one now.
This win over Durando was one
OF the easiest I ever had"
1t was an easy one all right
The ex-Marine had to bottle I'D
Durando's right-handed power
and he did just that.
Castellani. a 3-to-1 choice
jabbed. hooked and danced his
way to a big lead through the
f1rst six rounds. In the seventh,
he figured it was time to give
the 5,865 fans ($19,355 gross
gate) in the Garden and the TV
viewers a show. He opened up
with series of right-hand
smashes that shook up Ernie.

Democrats Hit Delay
In Admitting Error
On Loyalty Firings
By the Associated Press

Four Democrats said today the
White House itself has shown
they are right in demanding the
Senate determine how many &C
tual disloyalty cases figured in
the removal of employees under
the administration security pro-
gram.
The Democrats, members of
the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee. based their arguments on
a statement yesterday by Ber-
nard M Stanley, special coun-
sci to President Eisenhower. Mr.
Stanley said in an interview he
had made an unfortunate mis-
take" in a speech last November
6 labelling as "subversives" 1,456
former Government workers the
new administration had let out
under its security program.
Mr.. Shanley's speech had fol-
lowed by a couple of weeks a
White House report that 1856
persons whose personnel files
contained "unfavorable reports"
had been fired or quit in the
first AZ months of the Eisen-
hover administration. The Pres
ident in his state-of the Union
message to Congress on January
2 said the figure then stood at
1900.
Analysis Demanded.
The Civil Service Committees
six Democrats are demanding
an investigation and analysis to
show how many of the dismiss
sails were for elleged disloyalty
to the Government, and how
many on such charges as drunk
enneSS, moral perverSion, loose
talk and other grounds recog-
niZed under the security pro-
gram as creating risks.
Reports by six agencies, in
Guiding an unofficial one from
the State Department, on a total

questions of loyalty.
The committee has deferred
until Tuesday consideration of
the democratic members re-
! quest.
Nicely AssaiIs Delay.
| Senator Nicely, Democrat, of
West Virginia, one of the six,
said in an interview he will con-
tend lit was an outrage for
Mr.. Stanley to wait until now
to correct an injustice done when
he made his speech three months
ago."
IF anything was needed to
show that the committee should
order the investigation we have
requested. this is it," Senator
Nicely added
| Senators Monroney of Okla
homa. Lennon of North Caro-
lima and Daniel of Texas, who
also had signed the resolution
demanding the inquiry, said in
separate interviews that about

tors johnson of South Carolina
and Pastore of Rhode Island, the

mittee, were out of the city.
