Hiring of Minority
Workers Urged
OKLAHOMA CrTY (AP) -
Twelve city departments were
urged Tuesday to begin filling
vacancies with minority work-
ers, following a report on dis-
crimination in city government
requested by City Manager Rob-
ert Oldland.
The city manager's employ-
ment committee made the hir-
ing and promotion recommenda-
tion of 10 listed in a report
filed by George Kerford, direc-
tor of the local Equal Oppor-
tunity Project
Kerford’s report said the hir-
ing of friends or relatives of
rent employes is widespread in
city government, and that this
constitutes a form of discrimi-
nation because most city em-
ployes are white
Twenty per cent of the city's
employes belong to minority
groups, the report said, but
most are in the low-paying
street and sanitation divisions.

SEOUL (AP) — Forty-two
schoolboys returning from an
excursion were killed today and
23 others suffered burns when a
train crashed into their bus near
Onyang, 45 miles south of Seoul,
the national police reported.
Five of the injured boys were
reported in critical condition.

unmanned railroad crossing, po-
lice officials said.
They said the bus was car-
rying 65 students from a Seoul
