NAACP Demands Probe of Under Representation in State Jobs
NAACP leaders urged a Sacramento legislative committee to investigate the California civil service system after statistics showed low Black and Hispanic representation in state employment. Leonard Carter noted a 3 percent drop since 1965 and a pay gap of about 1600 dollars between Black and white workers, urging action to identify improvements. The federal recruitment has drawn away minority applicants, and only 15 percent of departments joined the Career Opportunities Development program.

State to take over welfare admin cuts costs for counties
Democratic Sen. Alfred E. Alquist told the Senate Health and Welfare Committee that a state run welfare system would cost about 30 million dollars annually and take four years to complete. He said the plan would reduce paperwork, end duplication, and save federal and county funds totaling hundreds of millions yearly. County official Robert T. Andersen cited Riverside County tax savings exceeding 1 million dollars per year.
