1Opinion of the CourtZeller, J.
On March 13, 1953, petitioner-respondent, an honorably discharged veteran of World War I, was appointed a deputy commissioner of the State Athletic Commission. On April 30, 1955, petitioner-respondent was removed from his position by the State Athletic Commission without being charged with incompetency or misconduct and without a hearing. Claiming that this removal was illegal by reason of his veteran status, petitioner-respondent sought and obtained, under article 78 of the Civil Practice Act, an order directing his reinstatement. This is an appeal from that order.
