Southern Team Gets
Rousing Welcome
On Return Sunday

Southern's Highlanders might
have missed the state high school
basketball championship title by
few points. but the reception
the team received on its arrival
in Oakland Sunday afternoon was
one generally reserved for victors.
There was no evidence of defeat
in the spontaneous public recep-
ton which brought several hun
dred cheering supporters to well
come the boys as they left their
chartered bus at the corner Of
Second and Green streets.
The crowd began TO form about
two o'clock, but it was well after
four when the bus was reported
in Mt. Lake Park. The delay only
served to swell the number of wei
corners.
At Mt Lake Park the returning
team was met by members of the
Oakland fire department, state
police and many private automo-
biles, to provide an escort into
town.
In Oakland, individual team
members were introduced as they
disembarked. and Ron ColaW, who
had been pulled from the decisive
game because of an ankle injury,
proudly displayed the runner-up
award which will take its place
in Southern's well-stocked trophy
case.
Short addresses of cOngratula-
ton were given by Mayor Russell
Smith, W. Kenneth Johns and
others, and many members of the
high school band were on hand
to lend their welcome to the team.
Johns commented on the large
number of local fans at the two
play-off games in College Parl;
/ Friday and Saturday of last week,
and expressed appreciation of the
fine support" given the team dur
ing its progress through the
tournament series. This feeling
was also expressed by many of the
players.
Regardless of the score, Sun.

to who are the champs least
in Garrett county.

Senator Gender
Introduces Liquor
Bill On Tuesday
Says Action Was At Request
Of County Commissioners
And 48 Business Men

A bill that would make the sale
of whiskcy and wine legal in Gar
rclt county, a companion bill to
the one introduced in the House
of Delegates on February 81, was
introduced in the Maryland Sen
ate on Tuesday afternoon by Sen
ator Bernard l. Gender. He told
The Republican that he was intro
ducing the measure by request of
the Garrett County Commissioners
and forty-eight business men of
the community
The measure was placed in the
legislative hopper at 8 o'clock,
Just prior to the deadline for in
Producing new measures in this
years session and was listed as
Senate Bill 500.
Because of lack of time. copies
of the House measure, which was
still bottled up in the Alcoholic
Beverages committee, was given a
Senate heading and placed in the
legislative mill Senator Gender
said when the bill got into his
hands that there would be several
amendments. which he said should
make it more acceptable Whether
or not this would include call
for a referendum vote on the mat
ter before it would become law,
he did not care to state.
The bill introduced by Delegate
Ebert Bucket had progressed no
further than the Alcoholic Bever-
ages committee At a hearing held
February %, Delegates Leslie f.
Savage and Eliza E. Bray had both
registered their opposition to the
measure.
At that time Mr. Savage told the
committee he felt he was carrying
out the mandate of the people who
defeated a Igor bill in 1856 by
continuing to oppose any form of
liquor legislation for the county.
Bray concurred.
Since that time the measure had
been in the hands of the commit.
tee with the probability that it
would never have received a
favorable report, since the ma
jority of the county's delegates
were opposed to it,

A most interesting case is
pending before the United
States Court Of Claims involv-
ing a Government employe who
was fired for making accu-
sations Of misconduct against
three Of his Superiors. The
three superiors subsequently
were separated from their jobs.
However, despite the fact
that the three officials were
separated, the employe who
had made charges against them
involving fraud, misuse of pub
lie funds and other improper
conduct, was also fired because
he had made the accusations
in the first place,
Seeking back pay for the
employe and his ultimate res
toration to Federal employ
ment, Attorney Claude l..
Dawson in his brief filed with
the claims court declared:
"The question arises whether
an honest and efficient en-
ploye of the United States is
to be discharged because he
was honest enough to report
what he believed to be valid
charges against the officials
in question"
The employe, Francis HouS-
ton, was a supervisory appraiser
in the Federal Housing Admin
istration field office in Homo
lulu in 1858 when he brought
attention to the conduct of
three of his superiors to top
officials in the FILA head
quarters here in Washington.
About six months later he was
fired from his job on the
grounds that his charges could
not be substantiated.
However, one of the officials
whom he accused was separated
from his job even before the
employe was finally fired. An
other of the officials was
separated a month after Mr.
Houston was dismissed, and the
third official was separated
sometime later.
Although two of the official:
already had been separated by
the time MIR. Houston appealed
his own dismissal to the Civi
Service Commission, the csc

upheld his firing on the grounds
that he had not proven his
charges against them. The
third official was separated
subsequently by FHA. District
Court and the United States
Court of Appeals did not rule on
the merits of the case, but said
FILA followed proper procedural
rules in the dismissal Of Mr.,
Houston.
In filing his brief, Mr.. Daw-
son referred to President Ken
nedy's statement last January

the part Of Government en-
ployes regarding their agencies
actions and encouraging
healthy controversy" when
they feel their agencies are
wrong. Mr.. Dawson also said
that more economical, honest
and efficient Government de-
pends on the willingness OF
Federal employees to call at
tention to the proper author
tiles when they discover wrong
full actions in their agencies
In his brief, although acknowl-
edging it is an unusual cita-
ton" to place in a legal brief
Mr.. Dawson referred to a para
graph from this writer's column
in The Star of January 81, 1861
when we commented on Presi-
dent Kennedy's st t m e n
thusly:
Many an employe who was
bold enough to criticize activi-
ties in his agency or to dissent
from an official point of view
etc., has learned to his sorrow
that his interdepartmental file
contains derogatory informa-
ton about him. Employees have
been officially branded trouble
