WASHINGTON, (A N P)—
At Just what point in the pi»ceas
of job finding after passing a
Civil Serviee examination, does
discrimination raise its ugly
heiid?
Of course, theoretically there
is no discrimination in - the
AKpointmettt m » worker to a
federal Job oecaute the cliiuse,
without regard to race, creed
or color, or previous condition
of servitude standards as a
bulwark against such acts, and
the race of the applicant has
been effi^nafed from the form
al application*.
Raised al a meeting where
several experienced perso.is were

a colored appficant had not only
the necessary qualifications as
specified in the apjt>Iicationr but
He stepped beyond the specifi

However, for eMerience, he was
given a rating ofVnly 71 btcause
the schools where he had done

Another felt that as soon a>i
the photograph of the ‘applicant
was. submitted, the die was cast
and the applicant had a tough
job cracking through.
Another said that the photo
graph had nothing to do wilh it.
When, in, looking through the
experience sheet, it was reveal

attended, that in itself was suffi
cient for disqualification. This
brought about the statement
from another- person conccrning
the firs* story. -
However, others were of the
opinion that discrimination ac
