"He simply felt that he has been here long enough - and that it's time to retire," the spokesman said. Walters' resignation will take effect on the day that his successor is confirmed by the Senate, the White House said. '" - Nessen said that President Ford "has a very high re- gard" for Walters and for the work he has done. He said that Walters has of- fered to serve in any other capacity at the President's request and Mr. Ford is con- sidering the offer. The confirmation of Knoche would break one long-standing tradition at the intelligencc agency. For the first time since the agency Was founded in 1947, neither the director nor his principal deputy would be- military men.

Walters, a Nixon ap- pointee who resisted Watergate coverup efforts, is resigning as deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency and will be replaced by E. Henry Knoche, a civilian veteran of 23 years' service with the agency, the White House announced yester- day. The appointment of Mr. Knoche, now an associate depu- ty director, appeared to under- score the shift in emphasis at the CIA toward collection and analysis of foreign intelligence and away from the sort of co- 'vert operations that figured largely in last year's congres- sional investigations of intellig- ence agencies. That shift began in the short term of James R. Schlesinger, who headed the CIA for six months in 1973, succeeding Ri- chard Helms. A CIA spokesman said Gen- eral Walters's resignation was connected with his intended re- tirement from the Army June 30, after 35 years of uniformed service, much of it in the intel- ligence field. The general, 59, a .colorful figure known for turn- ing up at trouble spots, speaks .eight languages with fluency but has no college degrees at all. At the White House, Ronald II. Nessen, the presidential ?:. press secretary, gave no special reason for acceptance of Gen- eral Walters's resignation at this time except that, after a transition period: "George Bush wanted to build his own team." Mr. Busb, former United States representative in Peking, was installed as director of cen- tral intelligence in February, with broadened authority over other federal intelligence activ- ities as well as those of CIA. He succeeded William E. Colby in the government shake-up Presi- dent Ford announced last Nov- ember. Under the law, one top CIA official-director or deputy- but not both may be drawn .from the military service. Mr. Bush has named Vice Adm. Daniel J. Murphy, a former 6th Fleet commander in the Medi- terranean, to another deputy's post, charged with overseeing the "intelligence community"- CIA and other agencies-and managing intelligence-*t* ing resources.

General Walters relayed some of the White House re- quests to L. Patrick Gray 3d, then FBI director.

E. Henry Knoche, CIA associate deputy director, will be nominated to replace Walters, the White House said. Walters' resignation was a sur-. prise, and the details came to.light gradually.

An hour and a half later Press Sec- retary Ron Nessen said Walters was quitting because he believed that he was "overdue to get out of the Army." The deputy director also rec- ognized that CIA Director George Bush would want to pick his own top assistant, Nessen said. Walters, S9, was appointed deputy director by President Richard M. Nixon in 1972. . A CIA spokesman refused to com- ment on whether Walters' resignation stemmed from investigations of the agency during the past year or from Ford's reorganization of the nation's intelligence agencies. . "On timing, I don't think we ,could want to comment on that or get into a discussion on that," the spokesman said. . % Nessen said Walters submitted his resignation in January after Ford named Bush to head the agency. Bush did not accept Walters' resigna- tion immediately, Nessen said, add- ing that Walters had been scheduled to retire from the Army. The date has been set for June 30. Knoche was chosen because Bush "wants to build his own team," Nes- sen said. Knoche, 51, a civilian, went to work for the CIA in 1953 as an intelligence analyst specializing in political and military affairs. He has been 'execu- tive director of the agency's national photographic interpretation center, deputy director of planning and budget activities and deputy director of the office of current intelligence.

Nessen also said that Knoche was the choice of CIA Di- rector George Bush, who wanted "to build his own team" at the intelligence agency. Walters, 59, submitted his resignation as a matter of protocol last January when Bush took over. He is sched- uled to retire from the Army on June 30, when he will have completed 35 years of service. A skilled linguist, Walters served as interpreter for five Presidents during his Army career and was a close friend of former President: Richard M. Nixon, who appointed him to the CIA's No. 2 spot in 1972. Shortly afterward, Walters became involved in the cf- forts of White House aides H. R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman to limit the FBI's investigation of the Water- gate burglary. Walters later testified that he was ordered by Halde- man to instruct acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray III to cease investigating leads in the burglary case on national security grounds. Nixon's precise role in that effort, however, remained unclear until the later disclosure of the White House tape recording that forced his resignation. It showed that, on June 23,1972, Haldeman told Nixon that the FBI investigation was touching politically danger eived signed CIA documents instructing him to hold off. Gray; testified, however, that Walters refused to put the order in writing and abandoned the White House plan, telling Gray, "I'm not going to let those kids at the White House kick one around."

That source also said that Bush wanted a deputy free of association with the Watergate period and Nixon's brief effort-disclosed in the so-called "smoking gun" tape rec- ording-to have the agency stifle the FBI's early investi- gation. Walters' resignation will take effect on the day that his successor is confirmed by the Senate, the White House said. Nessen said that Ford "has a very high regard" for Wal- ters and for the work he has done. Walters has offered to serve in any other capacity at the President's request and Ford is considering the offer, Nessen said. The appointment of Knoche, if confirmed by the Sen- ate, will break . one tradition at the intelligence agency. For the first time since the agency was founded in 1947, neither the director nor his principal deputy will be mili- tary men. Knoche is a 23-year veteran with the CIA who has held a series of administrative positions. As deputy director, he will be in charge of the ,agency's day-to-day operations.

Vernon A. Walters, who gave damaging test mo- ny in the Watergate case despite his close friendship with Richard :1T. Nix- on, resigned Thursday as deputy di- rector of the CIA. The White House, which made the announcement in a brief statement to reporters, did not give a reason for Walters' resignation as No. 2 Central Intelligence Agency official. But an intelligence . community source said the main reason was the administration's desire to have a ca- reer CIA official hold the deputy di- rectorship under the new director, George Bush. Walters, had been in the CIA for just four years. He was appointed deputy director last year by President Ford. Ford said he was nominating 8. Henry Knoche, who has served in the CIA for the last 26 years, to replace Walters. TILE INTELLIGENCI: community source said Walters was leaving for several reasons, but the major one was that his CIA experience was not ektensive enough to qualify him for the No. 2 job in the agency. Bush has said his top assistant should be run- ning the day-to-day operations .of the agency. ? The source said other reasons in- eluded Walters' personal desire to. leave the agency and the administra- ,tion's desire to bolster the Watergate- damaged morale of the agency. But a CIA spokesman said Walters, who will be 60 in January, asked to be 'retired from the Army a month ago. "For crying out loud," the spokes- man said. "Any suggested connection between Gen.
