NCAA Tourney Semifinals On Tuesday Night KANSAS CITY, Mo. UP — The surprising Kansas Jayhawks, only two victories away from their second straight NCAA basketball championship, were squarely in spotlight today as four regional champions converged on this city for tomorrow night’s semi-finals. Kansas is matched against highpowered Washington in one semifinal, while Louisiana State and Indiana clash in the other. The Jayhawks haye only one starter, Allen Kelley, back - from the .squad that roared to the national title last season as skyscraping Clyde Lovellette smashed just about every scaring record ip the tourney book. At the beginning of \ this -season, akau. Coach Dr. Forrest Phog Allen could foresee only minor success. But the Jayhawks went on to outbattle favored Kansas State for the Big Seven crotom and then | swept through the NCAA regional ; at Manhattan, Kan., Friday and Saturday with a 73-65 win over Oklahoma and a 61-55 triumph over the Oklahoma Aggies. What’s more, in six-foot, 10-inch ' ■ B. H. Born the . Jayhawks may have a teenter who will give Washington’s All-American Bob Houbregs a tussle. Don Schlundt, Indiana’s Big Ten champion scorer, racked up 41 points, a new Chicago Stadium, record, to' lead the Hoosiers to a 79-66 victory over Notre Daine.at Chicago. The\ victory throws squarely into another big pivot battle against six-foot, nine-inch Bob Pettit of Louisiana State. Both were < named on the second team of the United Preks AllAmerica squad. Klenk's Entered In Tourney At Hoagland Klenk’s of Decatur, fresh from victory in the Van Wert tourney ; last Friday, will go after further tourney laurels at Hoagland this i week.

Mr. Eisenhower took the first step toward clearing put some of these holdovers when he announced on March 5 that he would revoke an, order issued, by former President Truman which blanketed several hundred policy-level jobs under civil service. Senate Republican leader Robert A. Taft indicated Mr. Eisenhower can count on congressional support for any further action that is necessary to remedy the situation. Taft told reporters that the “question is haw people can run their departments with people they don't trust.” \ He said it is necessary "to clean hut whole departments” but that the objective is to assure new department and agency heads of "loyalty from their teafps.” Taft said in several federal agencies apparently have been given civil service status. He said the legal divisions of the executive branch haVe been centers of "Neal Deal thinking” apd are particularly ripe targets for a housecleaning.
