LIBRARIAN QUITS JOB AFTER
ORDER TO HALT
SERVICE TO NEGROES

Plaquemine, La. (ANP) - A 49,
year-old librarian who said he quit
his Plaquemines parish job be-
cause he was ordered to halt lib
rary service to Negroes, reported
last week there were no such re-
strictions in his new post as ibrar-
ian in Iberville, La.
John Uhler resigned the Plaque
mines post Feb. 5, charging that
Leader Perez, parish political lead
er, ordered him in 1860 not to
make library services available to
Negroes under any circumstances.
He said Perez accused Negroes
of destroying books.
Uhler, who said he took a con-
siderable salary cut in the job
switch, noted that no such restric-
tons exist in Iberville parish. He
said he previously lived in the city
of Plaquemine ana was happy to
be back here. He began the new
job Feb. 27.
He said Perez also banned books
unfavorable to Perez.
Perez said Uhler's accusations
were without foundation.
Perez is a leader in the fight for
states rights and segregation. OF
the $500 Negroes in Plaquemines
parish at the end of 1861, only 43
were registered to vote.

Changing A Fuse

People often joke about the mar
who's so unhandy he can't even
change a fuse.
Actually, this is no joke. Many
people don't know how to replace
a fuse.
For their protection - and yours
the U. S. Department of Agri.
cultures Rural Identification ad.
ministration lists these five sim.
pie steps:
Disconnect the lamps and appli.
ances in use when the circuit went
out.
Open the main switch to cut
off the current while you work
at the fuse box.
Replace the fuse with a new
one of the proper size. (Keep a
dry board at the fuse box to stand
on while you work. Be sure your
hands or dry.)
Close the main switch and re-
store the current.
Check supply of spare fuses.
Buy more if necessary.

Leagues three members located
in the District, face the problem
of finding adequate fields for
their football games this fall.
st. Johns, for example, has
four games scheduled for which
a field has not yet been found.
The Catholic League wants
to use the Districts high school
stadiums on Saturdays when
they normally are not being
used by the public schools.
Most Interhigh League games
are played on Fridays.
Gallagher points to De-
Matthias use of Northwestern
High Schools stadium in Prince
Georges and O'Connell's use of
the Washington-Lee stadium
in Arlington to support his
case. He also cites the fact
that the Catholic League
schools have used the Districts
facilities in the past.
The main reason for the
Catholic Leagues request to
use the stadiums is that Grif-
fifth Stadium is no longer
suitable for play and the new

Palmer Predicts roubIes

Locke, but Palmer is the great
est in my book"
Scott, who has watched every
British Open since 1921, was
impressed with Palmer'S abil-
ity to forget holes that have
given him trouble. "He just
goes hard in long putt or
sends an iron approach right
to the pin."
Palmer, who finished six
strokes ahead of runnerup Kel
Nagle, whipped the biggest
quality field the British Oper
has had in years. In the pro-
cess, the Latrobe, Pa. star con-
quered one of Britain's tough
est courses-Old Troon.
"Palmer's performance was
one of the greatest in the
whole field of sport" said Bob
Ferrier, of the London Sunday
observer. He kept his title
on a course he's never liked
and still doesn't like. Yet. he
played Old Troon like nobody
else ever has played it-and

Catholic League Stalled in Efforts
To Use Public School Grid Fields

D. C. Stadium is out of reach
financially.
Gallagher says he first con-
tacted the District School
Board last October. Later the
School Board turned over the
request to the Department of
Recreation, which is still await
ing the decision of the Corpora
ton Counsel.
The Corporation Counsels
decision has been made harder
by the fact that there is no
clear legislation on the matter.
1t could possibly be months be-
fore a decision is reached.
About the only recourse left
to Gallagher and the Catholic
League is to try to get a bill
through Congress which would
authorize use of the public
school stadiums by a group
when the public schools are not
using them.
Meanwhile, the Catholic
League schools have no place
which can accommodate the
large crowds which their tradi-
tional football games usually
draw.

like nobody else probably ever
will"
Jimmy Walker, a member of
Britain's Walker Cup team,
called Palmer "The greatest
player I have ever seen. He's
better than Hogan. He's got
every golf shot in the bag. and
what's more he plays better
once he's got any pressure on
him"
Palmer shot IL brides in the
final two rounds Of the tour
nament and shattered course
and tournament records all
along the way. His third round
total of 81 was the lowest ever
on Troon's newly stretched out
course. His 276 for the tourna-
ment was two strokes better
than any British Open total
since the event was first held
over 72 holes 10 years ago.
Palmer's next outing starts
Thursday in the Professional
Golf Associations 44th annual
tournament over the Arono-
mink Country Club course in

BY CARL SELL
Star Staff Writer

Coach Joe Gallagher of St.
Johns High School has run
up against a brick wall-legally
speaking gin his efforts to gain
use of the Districts public high
school football stadiums for the
Metropolitan Catholic League.
Gallagher, designated by the
Catholic League last year to
investigate the possible use of
the stadiumS, began his cam
paign last october. He still
doesn't have a yes or no answer
from the District Government.
At present, the request is
being considered by the Corpo-
ration Counsel office, which
first was presented with the
case by the School Board last
December 10. The Corporation
Counsel's office refers to the
request as a "tickliSh" subject
made more complex by the Su-
preme Courts recent school
prayer decision.

might have been his best round
of the season.
II was hitting the ball well
over there" Emery said. IF I
had putted decently I'd have
been well down in the COS. But
it looks like when I hit the
ball well, 1 can't get a putt
down"
The easy-going S7-year-old
veteran has tried to get his
game in shape the last two
or three weeks. but he's been
too busy at the club to spend
much time on the practice tee.
He's going to Aronimink early,
hoping that the extra practice
will cure what ails him, to an
extent.
Nothing seems to be ailing
Bassler, except a strange case
of not being able to play in
front of strangers. He's been a
terror on the Middle Atlantic
tour, but when he got to Oak
mont for the National Open
he played like he didn't know
how.
"I played like a leap frog up
there" Bassler admitted. The
chances are that he won't re-
peat that performance. He shot
a respectable 290 in the PGA
in Chicago last year, which tied
for 29th place.
Bassler would like to finish
in the low 20, which he GER
tainly can do. If he does. he'll
automatically qualify for next
year. He'd also like to win an
invitation to the 1868 Masters,
but he'll have to finish eight
or better for that.
BasSler played in the Masters
once. That was in 1851, and
he qualified under two counts
first as one of the top "a
in the Open and also as a
Semifinalist in the PGA. Since
then the PGA has gone to
stroke play and the Open in
vitees have been limited to the
top 16.
On the surface it appears that
Bassler has the best chance
among the club pros from this
area, but if Emery'S game re-
spends to a few days of serious
practice, it could turn out diff
ferently.
BasSler gets his chance first.
He tees off at 8:04 Thursday
with Buster Cupit of Fort
Smith, Ark, and Bob Keller of
Eglin Air Force Base, Fla
Emery starts four hours later
at 1904 with Bud Williamson
of Lincoln, Neb., and Ed RubiS
of Chicoee Falls, Mass.
Arnold Palmer, British Open
champion for the second
straight year, is paired with
Jack NicklauS, who beat him
in a playoff for the National
Open. This is the top pairing
of the day, overshadowing that
Nof Jerry Barber and Don jan
uary. Barber beat January for
the PGA last July in another
playoff. Nicklaus and Palmer
go off at 9:40 with Dave Mari.
while Barber and January tee
off at 1904 with Jack Burke.
