Will Meet st. Andrews Tuesday
Afternoon at Middletown
The Smyrna Eagles will travel
to Dover tomorrow night hoping
to avenge a 59-47 defeat dealt out
by the Senators earlier in the sea-
son. Smyrna Coach Bill Horney
will have in his starting five Ben
Solloway, Dave Deakyne, Turk
Orvis, Karl Gebhart, and Jay
Knight. So far this year no one
man in this group has been the
scoring hero, but on a given night
each one has enough potential to
score 20 points. Those who will
probably see action for Dover are
John Mcdonald, Charley David,
Tom Sylvester, Dave Bell, and
Jack Geiger. This Tuesday the
Eagles will try for a sweep of
the two games with Saint An
drews as they travel to Middle
town for an afternoon contest be-
ginning at $3.50 pm, with the
junior varsity game. Smyrna won
the first game this season by a
67-42 score. Last Friday Smyrna
lost to Caesar Rodney 61-53 to
even the season log between these
teams. Smyrna won the first
game in a 77-75 thriller. For the
Riders Sarde Howell was the man
to watch as he scored % points
for a game high. Stalwarts of
the Eagles were Dave Deakyne, 16;
Karl Gebhart, 13; and Turk Orvis,
IL. Smyrna JV won its ninth in
ten tries by conquering the Rid
erettes 1852.

BURTON'S BIG VOLUME SALE
Special Offerings Being Made on
Used Cars at Irwin G. Burton

Used Cars at Irwin G. Burton
The high volume" sale of used
cars and trucks at Irwin G.. Bur-
ton, which started February 2, is
going into its second week. This
big event was prompted, accord
ing to William Willis, manager,
by an unprecedented sale of new
Chevrolets which accumulated a
large number of used cars taken
in trade. The policy of the COM
pany, that has been followed for a
long time, is to sell the cars TAX
en- in trade-in as soon as possible
while they are in the best run
ming condition. This policy, said
Mr.. Willis, explains the unusually
good prices being offered during
this sale. In last weeks issue of
the Times there was a two-page
advertisement announcing this
sale and every means of publicity
has been used to bring it to the
attention of the folks in this area.
Mr.. Willis says there is a big ad-
vantage in buying a used car
from a long established dealer
ship. They are anxious to see
that you get the car or truck
that fits your needs at a good
price. He likes to think of Irwin
G. Burton, Inc, as transporta-
tion leadership, where you can Sc
cure the right car at the right
price to give you the best possible
transportation. He firmly believes
in keeping his stock of used cars
and trucks moving so they are in
peak condition. He tries to live
up to the slogan of "Be Certain
With Burton" The garage has
done a great deal of preparation
for this high volume sale. Every
car has been gone over carefully
so that it will be in best possible
condition. A great deal of
thought has gone into the pricing
of the cars so that they will be
bargained priced.

lacks authority to prevent 'bul-
let" ballots or "single-shot"
voting here. This is the practice
OF voting for fewer candidates
than are to be elected to any one
Office. The Democrats wanted it
outlawed so that all voters would
have to mark their ballots for as
many candidates as are to be
elected, or their votes would be
thrown out.
The Election Board approved
two requests Of the Democratic
Party, however. One will permit
a question on the ballot to ascer-
tain whether voters want the ma
tional conventions to include in
the 1856 platform a plank per-
tanning to self-government in the
District.
The other request was for q
question relative to a unit rule"

ton. The board said this Is a
party matter which legally may
be settled at the polls.

Vermont, who wants the present
flexible supports continued.
MY guess is that rigid sup
ports will be defeated by from
five to seven votes" Senator
Aiken told a reporter.
The Senate is under agreement
to start voting Thursday.
Possible Basis of Test
The initial test should come on
a move by Senator Anderson,
Democrat of New Mexico, former
Secretary of Agriculture. to elm
mate a rigid support provision
for cotton, corn and peanuts
from an omnibus bill that has
been debated for most of the past
two weeks.
Two years ago the Senate by a
49-44 margin voted to end rigid
wartime supports and approved
a system of lower, flexible sup
ports.
Those favoring the flexible
then included 80 Re
publicans and 10 Democrats. On
the losing side were SO Demo-
Gratis and 8 Republicans.
I'VE should win this time by
about the same margin that we
lost two years ago." Senator Ell
lender said. THE other side is
counting some senators who
won't vote for them"
Sen. Aiken said the Senate is
closely divided again but that
he is as confident Of the final
result as he was in 1854.
So far only two senator's have
announced they have changed
positions.

presidential candidates of ma
jor parties.
The bill would permit Sena-
torial candidates either to:
Cd Spend $4,000. or
ca Spend 20 cents for each
vote for any Statewide election
In the four years preceding the
campaign. House candidates
would be permitted to spend
$4,000 or apply a 20-cents-a-
vote formula.
The present ceilings are, for
Senators: $4,000, or 3 cents a
past vote, with an absolute CELL
ing of $4,000; and, for House
candidates: $4,000, or 3 cents a
vote, with an absolute ceiling
Of $1,000.
There are now no limits on
money that can be spent on be-
half of a candidate by indie
pendent committees set up to
promote his candidacy. Con-
gresham say the practical effect
of the law is to remove all CELL
ings and make campaign spend
ing reports misleading and frag-
mentary.
q Under the new bill, all spend
Ing would be checked and COM
plete reports would be made to
officials of Congress and to local
United States District Courts.
The $500 tax deduction is de-
signed to encourage small indi-
yidual contributions, enabling a
candidate to depend less on
large gifts from special-interest
groups.

Department will try to make
them more meaningful. This
will be done by supplementing
them with q written evaluation
by the supervisor Of the work
of each employe-and Of the
employees potential for advance
ment or promotion.
These evaluations will be dis
cussed In conferences with the
employee and will 60 into his

adjective rating may be appealed.
the written evaluation cannot
be. However, the employe is
given the opportunity of writing
on the rating form any comment

agreement with any part Of it.
In addition to the yearly
rating under this systematic

Senator Carlson. Republican
of Kansas. who voted for flexible
supports in 1854, has announced
he favors rigid supports on
wheat for this years crops to be
followed by a trial of a "domes-
tic parity price" plan. This is
roughly described as a two-price
plan, one for domestic markets
and one for foreign markets.
So far Senate floor debate has
had little attention from Sena-
tors, indicating that most of
them already know how they will
vote.
Most Senators have spoken in
favor of the administration soil
bank proposal to offer farmers
more than ST billion in special
payments over the next few
years to underplant crops now
in surplus.

preached, 1t became known that

to leave it UP to Congress
whether a specific ceiling should
be placed on individual price

Atomic Security
Program Seen
AS Endangered

The Governments security
clearance program covering &C
cess to atomic energy informa-
ton for private enterprise pur-
poses is in danger of being up
set by the courts, a Washington
attorney said yesterday.
The lawyer, Harold P. Green,
participated in a panel discussion
on the impact of atomic energy
on American industry. The dis
cussion was held in LiSner audi
forum as part Of the second an
nual Law Day of George Wash
ington University.
Mr.. Green told how private
industry now may gain access to
restricted and secret atomic in
formation for use in legitimate
projects after receiving security
clearance.
Asks Question
The speaker posed the ques-
ton Of an individual denied Sc
curity clearance because of de
rogatory information"
Such a person might be &C.
corded a review by the Acc
Personnel Security Board under
the same rules as apply to Gov
eminent employees. Secret in
formation commonly is used
lat such hearings and one is not
given the right to face accusers.
Mr.. Green questioned whether
an individual, not a Government
|employe legally could be denied
the right to private employment
of his choosing by such means.
Employer Interest
Indeed" the speaker stated.
the employer also may have a
substantial property interest in
his employees availability for
classified atomic energy work.
May the rights of such an
individual be disposed of by Gov
eminent under the kind of adj
ministrattve procedures which
are presently applicable in our
Government security programs?
May such an individual be de-
|prived Of what in many respects
is equivalent to license to work
in the atomic energy field be-
cause Government officials pro-
ject such factors in his past as
his parents. wife's, or friends
political views, or his drinking
habits 2" Mr.. Green asked.
Recent court decisions, he said
suggests the clearance program
for private enterprise purposes
stands in grave peril of judicial
upset." he said.

panel were Arvin E. Upton, sec
