Atlanta Bank Ordered To Rectify Bias ATLANTA — The First National Banlc of Atlanta has agreed to terms of a discrimination suit settle ment laid dowi) by a feder al court judge here that will upgrade em(ployment and promotion opportu nities for blacks as well as grant lump sum payments and higher salaries to blacks previously confined to a low salary scale. The settlement is ex pected to cost the bank more than $100,000. Signed by U.S. District Court Judge Richard C. Freeman, the order was agreed to by the bank after negotiations through the U.S. Equal Employ ment Opportunity Commis sion. Last May, a class action lawsuit was filed by two fe male employes. .Jo Etta Mapp and Mattie K. Lowe. They charged that the bank violated the 1964 Civil Right': Act by dis criminating against blacks in hiring, advancement and promotion. Bias charges were denied by the bank, however, it agreed to the settlement and consent order ‘‘to reaffirm its policy of pro viding equal employment opportunity.” Public relations Vice- President Douglas K. Smith said the order will provide benefits for all bank em ployes especially in the posting of job advancement opportunities. He said about 20 per cent of the bank’s 2,300 emplo yers are minority race members, mainly black. According to defense at torney, Robert J.
