A return meeting between

land Mrs. Ben Cohen's War Ag,
in the 35th running of the So.
1000 Capitol Handicap today
featured the start of Laurel.
17-day spring meeting.
Post time for the first race
will be 1870 pm. throughout the
meeting. and today's crowd was
promised a cool, cloudy after
noon with an occasional shower
tsnd high of So degrees. To q
man with a tip or two the FORE
cast was comforting.
Six other sprinters have been
entered in the six-furlong DASH
and one or two could be trouble
some. But with Willie Hartack
up on War Age, and Nick Shuk
riding Informant, that pair is
expected to get the bulk of the
betting support.
The best rider to come along
since Paul Revere, in the opinion
of most Marylanders, Hartack
expects to remain at Laurel fol
the entire meeting. except fol
an occasional one-day trip to
Kentucky or New Jersey. His
presence should make a big diff

Boot Inspections
Will Be DELAYED
By the Associated Press

The Coast Guard today pushed
plans to begin safety inspection
of an estimated 5000 small YES
sells but is without sufficient
funds to set up the necessary
inspection staff before next July.
President Eisenhower signed
a new law on May 10 aimed at
preventing disasters such as that
which took IA lives when the
schooner Levin j. Marvel broke
up in Chesapeake Bay last Au-
gust. The law expanded Coast
Guard inspection authority,
which previously did not include
vessels of less than 700 gross
tons.
However, Congress provided no
additional funds to carry out
the inspection, which would
cover all vessels on navigable
waters carrying more than six
passengers for hire.
The Treasury Departments
money bill, which covers opera
tionS of the Coast Guard, was
approved prior to passage of the
safety inspection measure.
Therefore, no funds for the
safety law were included. A
treasury spokesman said I'M
doubtedly an estimated 1923 900
would be set up in the budget
for the fiscal year which begins
July |. 1857.

The Civil Service Commission
was on record today in support
of restoration of President Eli
senhower's security order af-
fecting Federal employees in
'nonsensitive" as we'll as sen
sitive" positions in Government.
Commission Chairman Philip
Young, in letter to Chairman
Murray, Democrat of Tennessee.
of the House Civil Service Com
imittee. said the recent Supreme
Court decision affecting nom
sensitive flrings required COR
receive action" to prevent null
LITIGATION of the Presidents
executive order.
On June IL, the court ruled
the security order did not apply
to employees in positions not in
volving the national security.
Mr.. Young said that at the
time of the decision there were
II cases in which employees had
been suspended for security rea-
sons. He said the II have been
restored to duty and the Gov
eminent must now look for some
other authority to handle their
leases.
Two Cases Cited
He cited two cases in which
one of the suspended individuals
was a member of the Commu-
mist Party in 1916 and later was
sentenced to Jail and fined for
violation of the Smith Act. He
said another was active in Com
munist-front activities. and that
his wife and brother were men,
bers of the Young Communist
League.
Mr.. Young added that in ad-
dition to the II security cases
restored to their Jobs, I'VE esti-
mate that there are some 28C
cases involving individuals who
have been removed under the
program and who will be seeking
restoration and back pay as a
result Of the tcourt decision.
Mr.. Young's letter was in ref
erence to House committee hear
ings on enactment of new Sc
curity legislation. He suggested
Congress await a final report Of
presidential commission now
studying requirements for a new
security program.
THE time has come when q
Federal employe should feel rea
sonably sure that his suitability
for continued Federal employ
ment has been established, and
applicants can accept employ
ment with assurance that they
will not be investigated and re-
investigated and reviewed anc
reviewed again after they be.
come employees due to changes
in this program, he said.
ReeS Plan Opposed
Both Mr.. Young and Attorney
General Brownell, in another
letter, opposed legislation pro,
posed by Representative Rees
Republican of Kansas. proposing
a commission to adjudicate case.
involving employee loyalty and tt
separate loyalty from security
cases.
Mr.. Brownell. in his letter Il
Chairman Murray, said HI
favored enactment of legislation
to extend the employee seeurit.
program to all employees of Gov
eminent. whether in sensitive o.
non-sensitive positions.

representative for ADA, charged
the program promotes injus.
