Gov. Williams Clears State Boards of Prejudice
An investigation conducted ‘by
Gov. G. Mennen Williams to
check on possible discrimination
in various state board exami-
nations has shown that • no bias
is practiced by these agencies.
The investigation, prompted
by a talk between the Governor
and Nathan Perlmutter, new
Michigan Regional director of
the Anti-Defatmation League of
Bnai Brith, was essentially car-
ried out in the offices of the '
State Board of Law Examiners
and the State Board of Fzami-
ners in Optometry. •
The points raised referred
specifically to questions on ap-
plication blanks, in which the
applicant must state his par-
ents' names, nationality and
send a photograph.
With assurance that the ques-,-
tions asked are only for gen-
eral use and are not discrimi-
natory, Gov. Williams now is
seeking the elimination of such
questions on application blanks,
with such specific information to
be asked at a date following
acceptable or approval by the .
State bodies.
