was named recently, ending a
seven month search for the
post left vacant in September
by the resignation of former
director Samuel Harvey, - a
25-year veteran.
The new director will be Mr.
Thomas J. Elijah, Jr., of
Laurelton, N.Y. For the last
nine years, Elijah had been
Borough Director of the New
York Urban League's Queens
Branch, serving a community
of about 1.9 million.
Elijah said his main thrust
would be_ in ?'stressing
companies in the area to
comply with achieving equal
opportunity goals." "We have
got to get disqualified people
at least in the door," he said.
Elijah said jobs, that is,
"being able to find and
maintain work" for the people
wanting work was one .of the
biggest problems this country
faces. Elijah said the goal of
the program is to increase
equal job opportunity and
vocational training for minori
ties so that they might prepare
for, get, and hold a good job
for adequate pay.
Another arae Elijah plans to .
. focus hi$ efforts on will be that
but I'm sure - it?could be
bettered," he said.
Elijah believes that his
office could be very instrumental
in helping the
government reach people they
have set up job ptugrams for,
and would be a valuable
