MR. HOLMES INTENDS TO GO BACK TO HIS JOB
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, May 20. “A Supreme Court judge has ruled that I be reinstated in my job with the National Film Unit and I intend to go back,” said Mr. Cecil Holmes in Auckland today. Mr. Holmes was dismissed in December after the publication of the “Holmes” letter. He was given judgment last week in his action against three members of the Public Service Commission which had annulled his ap. pointment in the public service. “The judgment in my favour was not so much a victory for me personally, but for the Public Service Association, which supported me in every way throughout,” Mr. Holmes added. “It did not care about politics at all. As far as I can see the whole case is finished. This is borne out by the action of the police, who returned to me on Sunday the letter containing resolutions allegedly in Mr. Lewin’s handwriting and letters I allegedly wrote to him.”
