House Civil Service Committee
is far from satisfied with the
programs operation.
Recently, a distinguished
group Of private citizens at Co
lumbia University's American
Assembly proposed widespread
changes in the program to give
greater protection to the rights
Of Federal employees accused in
such cases.
The group proposed an i'm
partial appeals board, composed
Of outstanding private citizens
from various walks of life. The
security boards now are made
up of Government workers. Con-
sequently, it is impossible for
accused persons, in many cases.
to get fair trials, since the en-
ploye members on the appeals
boards often feel that they, too.
are on the spot and cannot rem
der a fair verdict, critics of the
program say.
Also, the separation Of cases
involving disloyalty or subver-
sive actions from those involv-
ing mere character defects is
urged by many objective OBJ
servers. They declare it is un-
fair to stigmatize an employe by
firing him as a security risk
when he can be dismissed under
regular civil service "cause" fir
ing procedures. In addition, the
administration is being strongly
urged to remove the security
risk program from politics.
Finally, procedures for speed
ing up the program are being
studied. It has not been unu-
sual for employees in these cases
to have to wait almost a year
after their suspension before
a decision is reached on their
appeal.
HOLIDAYS-The White House
Is expected to announce within
a few days its holiday plans for
Government workers. The best
bet is that Government workers
will get a full day off on De-
cember "a and a halliday on
December 81.

TecI1noIoeisf Tells
OF Finding Blood on
Sheppard Watch
BY the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 30.--A green
bag containing jewelry of DR..
Samuel H. Sheppard, found in a
hedge beside his home, bore no
blood stains, a coroner'S medical
technologist testified today.
But on DR.. Sheppard's watch
inside there were human blood
stains with the same "M-factor"
as the blood of the murdered
Marilyn Sheppard, the witness.
Miss Mary Cowan, said.
The bag contained the watch,
q signet ring and a key chain
belonging to the osteopath, but
none of them contained finger
prints, Miss Cowan continued.
The State contends DR.. Shep-
pard hacked his pregnant wife to
death in their Bay Village home
last July 4. He is on trial for
first-degree murder.
Claims Killer. Took Watch.
DR.. Sheppard, in his story Of
the murder, maintained that the
watch and other articles were
taken from him by a bushy-
haired slayer who later left him
unconscious on the beach in
%,.1,af Nf 11ie H0yNNn
The osteopath has stated that
1t was not until he recovered
consciousness and returned to
the house that he first ap-
preached Marilyn's body and
tested the pulse at her throat.
The State also produced Mar
ilyn's wrist watch, which was
found after the murder in DR..
Sheppard's downstairs den, on
the floor.
Miss Cowan testified that this
watch also bore no fingerprints.
but that it was stained with hu-
man blood, which also contained
the M-factor present in Mar
ilyn's blood.
Miss Cowan said she examined
the contents of the green bag
on July 5.
Found Human Hairs.
Describing her examination of
Dr.. Sheppard's discarded trous-
ers. the witness said she found
four human hairs in the left
front and right rear pockets.
1.-THE hairs were similar and
compatible with the hair Of
Marilyn Sheppard" Miss Cowan
said, determined by scale, count,
color, curl and diameter"
Assistant Prosecutor Thomas
Parrino then, ended his direct
examination of Miss Cowan.
He did not pursue further the
significance of Miss Cowan's
testimony about the discovery Of
the hairs. However, he told a
reporter, it is Every important" "
The medical technologist also
said she found sand in the cuffs
and pockets of the trousers. The
doctor claims his second strug-
gle with the unknown assailant
took place on the lake beach.
Quizzed by Corrigan.
Chief Defense Counsel William
j. Corrigan posed a long series
of questions to Miss Cowan about
the qualities and properties OF
blood. He went deeply into
technical details of its actions
once it has left the human body
His main point appeared to be
that examination of blood stains
would not show when the stain
was made. He said some of the
stains about which Miss Cowan
had testified could have been
made before the murder.
Mr.. Corrigan also questioned
Miss Cowan closely about the
sand found in the osteopath's
trouser pocket and cuffs. Using
a small reading magnifying glass,
the attorney showed her the in
side of the pocket and asked
If she could not still see sand
there, and she replied she could.
