Now the Globe Moynihan Will Quit Present Job To Be U. S. Ambassador to U. N.

The Yale Daily News had the right string but the wrong yo-yo Thursday night.

The Boston Evening Globe yesterday reported that Daniel Patrick Moynihan, professor of Education on leave to serve as an advisor to President Nixon, will be named U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

In a copyrighted story by Charles Whipple, the Globe stated that Moynihan had accepted the President's offer on Monday.

The Nixon Administration officially refused comment on the report yesterday evening. Moynihan, vacationing in Mexico, could not be reached for comment.

Moynihan announced last summer his plans to return to his post at the School of Education at the beginning of the Spring term, when his two-year-leave of absence would expire. Under a Faculty rule, any Faculty member seeking a longer leave of absence must obtain permission from President Pusey.

The Same Rumors

Theodore R. Sizer, dean of the School of Education, could not be reached for comment last night, but Arthur G. Powell associate dean of the GSE, said that "the last official thing the EdSchool has heard was that Pat would be returning to the Ed School second semester."

"But nobody would be surprised if something like this occurred," he added.

The Globe reported that Moynihan was dissatisfied with the job he would be returning to. Before taking leave in February, 1969, Moynihan had served as director of the Harvard-M. I. T. Joint Center for Urban Studies in addition to his professorship.

Walter A. Rosenblith, acting director of the Joint Center, said last night, "No one has mentioned to me except the newspaper any future connection between Mr. Moynihan and the Joint Center."

But James Q. Wilson, professor of Government, said, "There is no truth to the story that Moynihan's relationship with the Joint Center ever entered his mind when he decided to leave or to return."
