Greater RIFF Rights
By JOSEPH YOUNG

Federal court has dismissed the suit which sought
greater job retention rights for veterans in Government
ductions- -in-force programs than they now have.

Of the present system which
limits veterans rights over
non-veterans to the particular
installation or geographical
unit where they are employed,
However, the Federal court
In Dayton rejected the vet
erans' contention that the Vet
Grams Preference Act of 1914
Intended such broad rights for
veterans.
MOVE TO LIMIT PREFER
ENCE - In another develop
ment pertaining to veterans
preference. the Sixth United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals
at Cincinnati. Ohio, has agreed
to hear a suit which would re-
strict the job retention rights
veterans now have over non
veterans.
&. About six months ago the
Federal court in Dayton. Ohio,
refused the request Of the Ma
tional Association Of Federal
Career Employees to convene a
three-judge tribunal to hear
the suit attacking the constitu-
tionality Of the veterans pref
erence law pertaining to vet
eranS' Job retention rights over
non-veterans.
However, the Sixth United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals
has agreed to hold hearings
next Tuesday In Cincinnati on
the suit. The test case involves
Charles A. Ross, who as q
civilian employe in the Air
Force, stationed in the Philip
pines at the start Of World Wal
II, was captured and held
prisoner by the Japanese for
four years.
After the war, when he wal
once again q civilian employe
for the Air Force, he wa
bumped" by q veteran who
had only nine days Of military
service.
The suit challenges the con-
Stitutionality of giving veterans
absolute Job retention rights
over non-veterans in their par
ticular categories, regardless Of
seniority. The suit contends
that this Is q violation Of non.
veterans civil liberties by de-
priying them Of the right OF
employment. ETC.. and by de-
nying them ''tnalienable rights
guaranteed them by the Con-
Stitution.
LEAVE USE-The Controller

to take their annual leave at

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Feb. 2 (AP).-Ceylon told the
United Nations Security Cotln-
Gil today political stability can
not be restored in the Congo
unless deposed Premier Patrice
Lumumbs Is released from
prison.
But his captors in the Congo
informed the U. N. that Mr..
Lumumba's fate Is strictly the
business Of Congo authorities,
and that for the time being
there should be no contact
between Mr.. Lumumba and
the outside world"
H. o. Wijegoonewardena,
Ceylonsse delegate, praised Mr..
Lumumba as the man who up
holds the principle Of unity
and political independence for
the Congo. He said the U. N.
could not permit Mr.. Lumumba
to remain in the hands of
authorities of Katanga Prov
ince, which broke away from
the central government Of
President Joseph Kasavubu.
Just before he spoke the U. N.
released o letter to Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold
from President Noise Tshombe
Of Katanga declaring that in
view Of Mr.. Lumumba'S crimes
against the Congolese people,
ut is essential that the au-
thorities Of the former Belgian
Congo alone should decide,
without interference from the
outside. what treatment he
shall be given and what Is to
be done to him"
HammarskjOld Rebuffed
Mr.. Tshombe's letter
amounted to o rebuff to Mr..
Hammarskjold. who has sug-
gested to Congolese political
leaders that Mr.. Lumumba be
released.
There was no comment in
the Council on Mr.. Hammar-
skjold's request, made yester-
day, that he be given authority
to curb the Congolese army's
activity in politics as q first
step to keep the Congo from
exploding int S!!ytl war.
A4iai Stevenson, appearing
as the Kennedy administra-
tion's chief delegate to the
Council for the first time. told
the session yesterday he was
not prepared to comment. He
indicated he would speak later
in the week.
But Mr.. Hammarskjold's re-
quest appeared headed for
rough Shedding from the So
Wet Union, which has been as
sailing the Secretary General
for months and has refused to
vote him new powers even In
less controversial fields.
Week-LOng Debate
The Councils Congo debate
Is likely to take UP the rest
Of the week.
Without giving up his policy
Of neutrality for the U. N. force
in Congo domestic affairs, Mr..
HammarSkjold insisted that he
must be allowed to reorganize
the Congo army, which he said
has been taking sides in the
warfare between Mr.. KaSavubu
and Mr.. Lumumba.
Il would welcome o decision
by the council requesting the
Secretary General to take ur-
gently appropriate measures for
assistance in the reorganization
Of the national army. prevent
ing 1t or units thereof from
intervening in the present po-
litical conflicts in the Congo"
he said.
The council also heard q de-
mand from the United Arab
Republic that Mr.. Lumumba
be freed from jail and that
Belgian military men alleged to
be in the Congo be ouSted.
Mr.. HammarSkjold'S policy Of
not allowing the U. N. force to
interfere In the domestic af-
fairs of the Congo is under at
tack from the pro-Lumumba
group. from the Belgians, from
Mr.. Kasavubu and from pro-
vincial premiers. Each wants
the U. N. force to take action
against the others.
