Race Ban
NEW YORK, N Y. - The
American Jewish Congress ha.s
urged the Civil Service Com
mission to scrap a plan to
require lederal employees and
job applicants to supply data
about their race, ethnic back
ground and sex.
Mrs. Naomi Levine, execu
tive director 01 the congress, in
a letter to Alan K, Campbell,
chairman oi the Civil Service
Commission, said: “Such in-
lormation on application lorms
lacilitiates deliberate, inten-
.lional discriminaiion. We are
^bv no means persuaded that
such discrimination is no
longer a problem."
Last week. Civil Service
Commission otiicials were
quoted as saving that iniorm-
ation that was deleted irom job
applications in the I960's “will
provide a better data base that
will, in turn, lead to more
hiring ot women and minority
groups."
The return to race, sex and
ethnic data is expected to begin
earlv in 1978 tor upper level
positions and sometime there-
alter tor the balance oi lederal
jobs.
In her letter. Mrs. Levine
asked;
•is it so clear that there are
no longer government otticiais
anywhere in the country who
are strongly motivated to
exclude blacks or Hispanic.'' or
other minorities irom govern
ment emplovmeni and other
Questions concerning rare on

leader, would make it easier to

Over the next several
decades." Dr. Jackson said,
although the black illegiti
maev rate will remain propor-
lionatelv higher lhan among
whites, the rise in the while
illegitimacy rate will be much
more dramatic, due largely to
the greater adjustment which
whites must make to the
