BALTIMORE, July 3O.-Al
Besselink might have made
that phone call to his bookie
at a less conspicuous place. but
in true Besselink fashion he
made it from the press tent
here at the Eastern Open. The
long-dstance connection was
bad and he had to shout, SO
everybody within so yards
heard the horse, the race and
the amount of money he
wagered. which was consider
able.
Harvey Raynor, the PGA
tournament supervisor, was
among those within earshot
and he reprimanded Besselink
with some severity.
Let 'em fine me-" Besselink
said as Raynor walked away

his putting touch and dropped
to 210 after a rs. Rodriguez was
making every putt in sight as
he opened with a pair of 67s
but all of a sudden he lost his
touch and was not the same
golfer.
Ford birdied two of the last
three holes for a IS. His fat
seven on the sixth was made
without q show of emotion. but
must have bothered him inside
because he was in woods, deep
rough and the pines on later
holes.
The tournament lost q few
more of its name players as
the field was cut to the low 60
pros and 10 amateurs for the
final round. Dave Ragan, the
defending champion, missed
with 78 for 200 while Bob RoS-
burg, the 1859 PGA champion,
quit because of illness after two
consecutive skies on the second
and third holes.
Bill Collins Cut
Bill Collins, the hometown
favorite, had II for 222 and is
out. The casualties also included
Charles Bassler, the Mid-Atlan-
tic PGA champion, who had
another case of the shanks and
took 81.
Littler, who now has been
the leader or co-leader of this
tournament six out of seven
rounds over the past two years,
was two over par for the first
five holes; he worked back to
one under but missed the 18th
green and three-putted the
10th for his 70.
Besselink, who carried a
transistor radio and listened
to ball games, music and race
results as he walked the fair
ways, lost a chance to take
the lead on the last three holes
He missed a 30-inch birdie putt
on the 10th and one of equal
length on the last hole.
Besselink probably played
the best golf of the halfway
mark leaders, but didn't cash in
on his opportunities. Both he
and Littler birdied only one OF
the par fives, which were setups
the first two days, but much
tougher today.
Burke bogied the second and
third holes but didn't lose any
more strokes to par, and had
three brides.
Just Out Of Navy
Boynton, the new name
among the leaders, is a former
Junior and college star from
Florida who is just a few weeks
out of the Navy. He has been
in the money three times this
year, including the National
Open. He qualified for the Open
from Washington.
The only sub-70 rounds were
Players 68 and the Cos of Boyn-
ton and Pott.

Bevun Weak

LONDON, Jan. % CAP).-
Aneurin Bevan. the Welsh
miner who rose to be Britain S
No. 2 socialist. was reported
very weak" today in his fight
for life after a major abdom-
inal operation.
Mr.. Bevan is very weak, "
said a medical bulletin issued
this morning on the 62-year-old
deputy leader of the British
Labor Party. 1t had followed a
more optimistic bulletin last
night which said there had
been a slight improvement in
his condition.
Mr.. Bevan underwent surgery
December 90. His illness has
never been announced, al
though it has been rumored he
was suffering from cancer or a
duodenal ulcer. Labor Party
leader Hugh Gaitskell denied
the cancer rumor.
For several weeks after the
operation Bevan's condition
improved slowly. and a few
days ago he was allowed to get

Applied to RIF Cases
The Court of Claims held,
however. that Section IA should
apply to RIFF cases as well.
CSC officials contend that
both the Court of Claims and
the United States Court of Ap-
peals have held in previous de-
cisions that Section IA does not
apply to reductions in force.
They are asking the Court of
Claims to review its latest de-
ciSion which they contend
would cause havoc in Govern
ment, making any large reduc-
tion program in Government
almost impossible to administer
While it is true that veterans
involved in such layoffs do have
the right to appeal to the csc,
this appeal very seldom is sue
cessful and hearings are virtu-
ally never held because only
fragrant agency violations of
layoff procedures would have
to be involved to justify any
CSC action. But if Section IA
is applied to layoffs, then the

entitled to these procedural
rights.

The court withheld final dis

legal questions of whether the
plaintiff raised the issue of the
insufficiency of his notice of

to whether there was in fact
a reduction -in-force pursuant
to his layoff. Both Mr.. Fleming

that the first point was made

the Governments civil service
system.
The court sharply criticized
the CSC's present regulations
on Government reduction in
force procedures. declaring
that they are illegal and de-
prive employees of the rights
guaranteed them under law.
| Specifically, the court held
that Section IA of the Veterans
Preference Act, which guaran-
tees veterans the right to 80
days specific notice before dis
miSSals or suspensions for
cause, plus the right to written
charges, a hearing, appeals and
other safeguards, also should
apply to observation-disclosures for
economy reasons. reorganiZa-
tions and similar reasons.
LayOffS Related
The courts decision, how
ever, would also apply to non
veterans in reduction-i force
cases, csc officials say. Cur
rent procedures give veterans
and nonveterans the same pro-
Icedural rights because their
layoffs are related to each
other in cuts due to such fac
tors as bumpingS, etc.
Thus, if the greater pro-
cedural rights are given to
veterans in reductions, they will
have to be given to non
veterans as well, csc officials
say 1t would be impossible to
conduct reductions in force
with one set of procedural
rules for veterans and one set
of rules for non-veterans, they
say.
The court sharply criticized
the csc and Government de-
partment and agencies, de-
claring: This court will con-
tinue to disapprove of grudging
efforts on the part of Govern
ment agencies not to give an
ounce more than is necessary
whereby an employees rights
are sliced too thin"
The facts involved are these
The CSC has had two sets of
procedural regulations. one for
layoffs resulting from re-
ductions-in-force, and another
set for dismissals or suspen-
Sions for cause, demotions, and
the like.
The rights of employees
those with veterans preference
in cases Of dismissals and
suspensions, have been con-
siderably greater than in cases
Of (reductions-in -force). since
Section IA of the Veterans
Preference Act specifically gives
them these rights. Thus, vet
eran employees in these cases
have the right to a 3O-day
specific notice of the impend-
ing dismissal, the right to
written charges, the right to a
hearing and an appeal to the
csc II necessary.
However. the regular layod
procedures do not contain all
OF these procedural projections.
Operating under Section IL of
the Veterans Preference Act,
which merely directs the csc
to give veterans retention pref
erence over non-veteranS IN
layoffs, the commission merely
requires agencies to give en-
