President Withdraws Nominee to Civil Service Commission

WASHINGTON, LR = Presi- dent Eisenhower today withdrew his, nomination of Bernard L. Flanagan as a member of the Civil Service Commission, at Flanagan's request.
 Flanagan has admitted making several misstatements in appli- cation forms for past federal positions, and his confirmation by the Senate was considered doubtful.
 The White House made public a letter to Eisenhower from F1ani- gan, who has been serving since last January as an interim ap- pointee, saying the mistakes were entirely immaterial to the jobs held" But Flanigan said he was withdrawing to put an end to political harassment."
 "Confirmation of my nomina- ton in the present circumstances would not, I fear, end the con- troversy," said Flanigan's letter.
 Eisenhower's reply was cordial but formal and brief.
 Flanigan had testified before the Senate Civil Service Commit tee, admitting making some mis- statements on his 1851 and 1854 federal job applications regarding educational credits and previous salaries.

One US. Marine Killed By Own
 Sentry In Lebanon

BEIRUT, LR = A US. spokes- man said today that no American planes have been. shot down by anti-aircraft fire from Syria.
 He was commenting on an announcement from Damascus yesterday that an unidentified jet fighter plane was shot down while intruding on the air space of the United Arab Republic. The Syrian announcement claimed the downed plane crashed and burned in Lebanon last night. On previous nights US. troops have been harassed by rebel sni per fire, but the only fatality re- ported was a Marine killed by one of his own sentries when he did not answer a challenge.
 At the United Nations, Secre- tary General Dag Hammarskjold announced he was setting up a seven-man group to advise him on enlarging the LIN. observer group ln Lebanon.
 The observers are working un- der a Security Council mandate to report any illegal shipments of arms and men into Lebanon from Syria. The Lebanese govern ment has charged President Mas ser's United Arab Republic has been helping the rebels via it's Syrian province. By sending in more observers, Hammarskjold hopes to make it possible for the Americans to withdraw.
 All commercial airline flights between the LIAR. and Jordan were suspended meanwhile. Mas ser has urged his partisans in Jordan to revolt and oust King Hussein, and earlier this week Jordan broke diplomatic rela- tions with the LIAR.
