Attorney Loses Move

Government Post

Federal Judge Alexander Holt
zof yesterday refused to order
trial at an early date of suit
expected to test the question of
whether career employees in the
Schedule A-excepted Government
jobs are entitled to Civil Service
job protection.
The case involves Leo A. Roth,
discharged Justice Department
attorney, who seeks to force the
department to rehire him.
Mr.. Roth asked Judge Holtzoff
yesterday in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Column
bia, to advance the case for trial
at an early date. Judge Holtzoff
however, refused on the technical
grounds that the Justice Depart
ment has not yet answered Mr..
Roth's suit, filed on August 25,
and has so days from the August
date in which to answer.
Judge Holtzoff suggested,
though, that the case could be
brought to head by Mr.. Roth
filing motion for summary
Judgment. Such a motion may
be filed at anytime after 20 days
from the date a suit is filed. Mr.
Roth indicated he will file such
a motion.
The Justice Department con-
tends that, although Mr.. Roth
individually had civil service
status, his job as a Justice De-
partment attorney under Sched-
ule A did not come under civil
service job protection.

has ruled in favor of Mr.. Roth,

India Hears Nimitz
Has Quit as Kashmir
PIebiscite Director
By the Associoted Press

NEW DELHI, India, Sept. A.
A foreign Office spokesman said
today the Indian Government
has been informed that United
States Admiral Chester w. MINI
itz has resigned as plebiScite
adminiStrator for disputed Kash-
mira name only" post for the
past two years.
At his home in Berkeley, Calf :,
Admiral NimitZ refused to con-
firm or deny the report. He said,
however, that an announcement
could be expected from U. N.
headquarters in New York with
in the next few days.
According to the report re-
ceived in New Delhi, the Indian
spokesman said, Admiral MINI
itz' resignation had been sub
mitted to U. N. Secretary-Gen-
eral Dag Hammarskjold. The
spokesman refused to name the
source of his information.
A U. N. official in New York
declared last night, however
that Mr.. Hammarskjold had not
received any notice of resigna-
ton from the World War II
naval hero.
Not Linked TO Farley.
United States Embassy sources
in New Delhi said that Admiral
Nimitz has been trying to resign
the post for nearly a year" J"
They added that his move had
no connection with recent In
dian-Pakistan talks on the future
of the Himalayan state, a source
of friction and even shooting
between the two nations since
Britain freed them in 1947.
Admiral NimitZ was named by
the U. N. in March, 1949. to run
a plebiscite to determine the
future nationality of the Kash-
mir people but India and PAX
istan were unable to agree on
terms for conducting the poll.
The two nations had occupied
separate parts of the state.
U. N. sources said the Ameri-
can admiral left U. N. head
quarters two years ago, discon-
tinued his salary and returned
to his old California home. They
quoted him as saying he would
serve if he could be helpful and
would retire if not needed.
India Said to Favor Asian.
India, however, has been re-
ported pressing for the appoint
ment of an Asian to administer
any plebiscite in the dispute
area, Pakistan was said to be
holding out for retention of
Admiral Nimitz.
A joint communique issued
August 20 following four-day
talks between Prime Ministers
Nehru of India and Mohammed
Ali of Pakistan said the two
leaders had decided that an
administrator should be ap-
pointed by the end of April,
1854"
The communique declared
"fair and impartial" plebiscite
is the most feasible method of
ascertaining the wishes of the
Kashmir people on their nation
atty"
Mohammed Ali told newsmen
then that a solution to the six
year-long dispute may not be
within easy reach, but it is in
sight"
The Nehru-Ali talks were
called after the installation Au-
gust 9 of a new Kashmir gov
ernment favoring close ties be-
tween the state and India.

After Brief Attempt
All Recovery Fails
BY the Assoeiuted Pres,

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-After q
brief and Intellectual try at re-
covery, the stock market today
headed down in a moderate
manner.
The decline extended to be-
tween / and 2 points with q few
higner-priced shares losing a
little more. Gains were frac-
tional.
It was noted that trading
speed picked up on the decline
a bearish indication, but 1t was
still at a pace below yesterdays
1.9 million shares.
Trading started rather quietly
with little of the customary rash
of large blocks. The first stocks
on the tape were almost all
lower and it looked as though
yesterdays break might continue
But plus signs started appear
ing and cushioned the fall. That
better appearance didn't last
long. The decline extended itsel1
still furthre and the pace o1
trading gathered speed.
Most major divisions were
lower, including railroads, steels
motors and rubbers. The oils
held steady with some gains and
only small losses.
Lower stocks included New
York Central, Chesapeake &
Ohio, United Air Lines, Loew's,
American Telephone, Console
dated Edison, American Smelt-
ing, Union Carbide, Westing-
house Electric, Texas Pacific
Land Trust, United States Steel,

Small gains were shown by
Gulf Oil, Johns Evansville, Wool
worth and Caterpillar Tractor.

Getting ahead were Federated

Corporate bonds were slightly
