Porter's view on the new age bias act and its impact
Sylvia Porter outlines the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 going into effect June 12. The piece covers prohibitions on age-based hiring and firing, restrictions on referrals and classifications by agencies and unions, and limits on age specifications in help wanted ads. It notes significant economic costs from discrimination and calls for broader anti bias measures beyond age. Pfc. Thomas Blackman, 19, son of Racine residents, was killed in Vietnam May 10, reported in AP dispatch.
