Old men seek work as employers balk at age

A report from Miss Jessie I. Belyea of the Special Employment Bureau for the Handicapped describes 50 black-tagged men over fifty seeking jobs in New York. She notes many have long careers ending when younger workers are hired, and details attempts to place them as watchmen, janitors, clerks, or in other roles. The Times will run free ads next Sunday to connect applicants over 50 with potential employers.
