Court Up|1oIds
Of Scher

The summary firing in. 1858 Of
a Commerce Department chem
list was upheld yesterday by the
United States Court Of Appeals
for the District Of Columbia.
The court ruled the dismissal
by the Secretary Of Commerce
was lin the best interests Of the
United States" and was author
lied by a law in effect at the
time.
The principal figure in the
case was BENJAMIN Scher. He
had brought suit In the U. s.
District Court for the District Of
Columbia, seeking to have his
dismissal declared Illegal.
His attorneys contended the
firing was arbitrary and followed
the failure of a security officer to
maintain a case against Mr..
Scher. The District Court ruled
IN favor OF the Commerce Secre-
tary.
Today. the appellate court up
held the lower court. 1t pointed
out that the statute authorized
summary firing at that time and,
it said, the statute had been
deemed Constitutional.
"And since the secretary COM
piled with the statute. the judg-
ment must be affirmed" the
opinion said.
In a footnote. the opinion
noted that Mr.. Scher's discharge
carried no implication that he
might be either disloyal or a
security risk.

a concerted conspiracy by the

IciohS about the hostility Of the
press were now quite confirmed.
And especially their suspicious
that Mr.. Poujade's real enemies
were foreigners. Wasn't it shock
ing that French journalists
should have responded so docily
Ito the suggestions Of Britisher?
Simply another proof that the
French lost their self-respect al
together.
And yet. in all the angry talk.
there was a feeling of uneasiness.
"A few minutes later. the doors
were thrown open. The remain
ing photographers and reporters
ushered tremendously into the
auditorium to hear the closing
speech of the leader. And when
it was over and the cries OF "Pou-
jade. Poujade" had died away,
the reporters were herded into
another smaller room where the
press conference finally got under
way, two hours late.
As it turned out, the reporters
who left didn't miss much

speech nor the subsequent ques-
ton and answer period threw
new light on the line which his

men and artisans honesty in

vague as ever. Sborn of a soap
box and a cheering mob, Mr.
Poujade still sounds a good deal
like shopkeeper arguing about
politics to a group of customers.
The major talent lies in evading
all specific questions. either by
cracking jokes (which invariably
delight his admirers or taking
refuge in airy generalities.
But on this occasion. perhaps
the main impression was that
Mr.. Poujade. having learned one
more lesson, was genuinely
anxious to satisfy his audience
For all his outspoken bitterness
about his treatment in the press
he seems we'll aware of the fact

been flattering, Mr.. Poujade had
adopted until recently a pointed
"damn-the-press" attitude. This
In turn has led to something of a
revolt by the reporters assigned
to cover his activities.
1t came to a head Tuesday in
a conference room of the Pare
DIES Expeditions, where some $50
members of the local and for
eign press were assembled for
Mr.. Poujade's first big postelec-
ton conference. The meeting
was scheduled to take place at
the close Of the Party Congress
dragging its way to a tumultuous
conclusion in the main audito-
rum next door.
1t was 1890 when Thomas
Cadet, correspondent for the
British Broadcasting Corp. rose
to address the group Of Poujade
lieutenants gathered in the back
of the room. Mr.. Cadet. whose
asperity on occasion is worthy Of
Clifton Webb. sounded of in his
most pear-shaped BIC French
He reminded the lieutenants
that he had been summoned to
the conference at II am. Other
reporters had been convoked at
1880. still others at noon. All of
them felt that they had been
kept waiting long enough.
Would the gentlemen be SC
kind as to inform Mr.. Poujade
very respectfully, that the assem-
bed correspondents would wait
exactly 10 more minutes. If. at
the end of that time, the pres.
conference hadn't started. the
correspondents would leave.
AS prudent afterthought, Mr.
Cadet then called for a show Of
hands from those who backed
his ultimatum. Most of the peo-
pie in the room-French and for
eigners alike-agreed. And II

"The unwillingness of state Of

The committee called for a

By a unanimous vote the COM

The platform, the resolution
said, should recognize "that the
