RIGHT To OFFICE

Fired for political Rea-
sons," They Say.

Declaring that they did not and
do not now consider petitioners
qualifications such as TO Justify his
retention as superintendent OF In
surance OF the District of Colum-
bia," the District Commissioners
today filed their answer to a petI-
ton for a writ of mandamus asked
by Lewis A. Griffith. who was re-
Gently relieved Of his office Of In
supance Commissioner by the Dis
trict Commissioner. Mr.. Griffith
also asked that he be reinstated.
The Commissioners deny that pc.
titioner was removed from the posi-.
ton for political reasons, but state
the fact to be that the Commission
ers desired to develop and improve
the Insurance Department OF the
District of Columbia and felt that
in order to do SO the position OF
Superintendent OF Insurance should
be filled by q man of the highest
possible standing in the insurance
field and one vested with the un-
questioned qualifications Of an ex.
pert on insurance matters, which
standing and qualifications, in the
judgment of the Commissioners
petitioner did not possess.
Defendants deny that petitioner
had any vested rights as an employe
Of the District Of Columbia and say
that they are advised and believe
and hence aver that the Commits
sioners were vested with ample au
thority Of law to remove petitioner
from office"
II Is further denied by the Com
missioners that Griffith had any
vested right or interest in the so
called civil Service Detirement and
Disability Fund but admit that HI
is entitled to have returned to him
the total amount Of deductions from
his salary during his employment al

count of such fund"

During the world war he served
In General Pershing's headquarters

ferred in a friendly spirit to their
long service together.
