Public hearing on racial discrimination by Albany agency
The State Commission for Human Rights will hold a public hearing at 10 a.m. today at the State Office Building in Albany over a Schenectady woman’s charge of racial discrimination by the Moore Employment Agency. The commission found probable cause after Mrs. Gertrude Forde alleged she was passed over for secretarial work due to race. Conciliation terms were offered but refused. In Troy, state crews begin painting stripes on about 250 miles of highways in Rensselaer County to boost traffic safety using new yellow barrier lines and white cross stripes with a recently acquired machine.
