New York, June 30.-Thurgood
Marshall has turned down a nomi-

was reported here last week.
According to reports Marshall re-
fused the coveted federal post be-
cause he feels that his duties as
director of the NAACP Legal De-

too important to be abandoned at

Marshall confirmed to a New

offered a nomination for one of the
six vacancies in the Souther Dis
trict and said he had requested
that his name be not considered
at this time.
The name of the White House
spokesman making the offer was
not disclosed.
Although Marshall had indicated
earlier that he was not interested
in the $22,500-a-year, lifetime
judgeship, it was learned that the
Kennedy administration stepped up
it's pressure on the NAACF STRAIT

of the six local positions.
