Detroit Edison Maintains It Adheres to Policy
of Fair Employment, Denies AJ Committee Charges

The Detroit Edison Com-
pany's spokesmen on Monday
denied charges by the American
Jewish Committee that it was
among the major utilities that
have set up barriers against
Jews in the management field.
Charles Manos of the Detroit
Edison public relations depart-
ment told The Jewish News that
the company has always main-
tained a policy of fair employ-
ment and that it has not re-
sorted to discrimination of any
sort.
Manos also said that the
American Jewish Committee
has never filed a complaint with
the Detroit Edison Company and
that the first information the
company received about the
committee's charges was from
the AP report.
Consumers Power, another of
the 50 utilities included in the
accusations leveled by the
American Jewish Committee,
also denied the charges.
The American Jewish Com-
mittee's charge is that dis-
criminatory barriers are pre-
venting the nation's major
utilities from utilizing fully a
substantial portion of U.S.
manpower in the manage-
ment field.
A. M. Sonnabend, Boston in-
dustrialist, president of the
committee, said that Jews make
up less than one per cent of
the total executive personnel
in America's 50 leading util-
ities. About eight to ten per
cent of the college-trained pop-
ulation in this country is Jew-
ish, and the managerial staffs
are recruited almost completely
from the ranks of college grad-
uates.
Sonnabend made public the
list of the 50 utilities in which
the discriminatory barriers exist
against Jews, both at the re-
cruitment and promotion levels

within the companies. Among
the 50, the 10 leading utility
companies are:

American Telephone & Telegraph
(New York); Pacific Gas & Electric
(San Francisco); Tennessee Gas
Transmission (Houston); Common-
wealth Edison (Chicago); American
Electric Power (New York); Consoli-
dated Edison (New York); South-
ern Company (Atlanta); Public
Service Electric & Gas (Newark);
Southern California Edison (Los
Angeles) ; El Paso Natural Gas (El
Paso).

Describing the discriminatory
barriers, Sonnabend said that
"the problem really begins at
the recruitment level when
company rein esentatives visit
the college and graduate schools
throughout the nation." He
pointed out that potential Jew-
ish candidates for jobs in util-
ities management are presented
"with a negative and discourag-
ing picture of their potential
and possibilities in the man-
agement divisions of these util-
ities giants."
The committee president re-
ported that "there seems to
be a built-in discriminatory
screen which has a much
finer mesh for Jews than for
other candidates. Jewish per-
sonnel traditionally must do
better than others either to
stay in the same place, or to
move up on the higher man-
agerial ladder."
One of the factors which un-
derlies these discriminatory pro-
cedures, Sonnabend said, is "a
marked tendency toward con-
formity in choosing and pro-
moting executive personnel. The
utilities management conforms
to a stereotyped image of what
they believe the executive
should be."
However, Sonnabend warned
that "these cliscriminatory bar-
riers are not only old-fashioned
and un-American, but also detri-
mental to the companies in-
volved." He stressed that the
"barriers to the free flow of
talent are hampering the full
development of our national
economy."
Sonnabend said that while
very few companies have an ex-
plicit policy of discrimination,
the utilities nevertheless "main-
tain a personnel practices cli-
mate that discourages Jewish
candidates and members of
other religious and ethnic mi-
nority "groups."
Sonnabent observed that "fre-
quently top management fails to
assume responsibility for the
personnel practices of their
companies and is often unaware
of the discriminatory climate
that exists within their com-
panies and is often unaware of
the discriminatory climate that
exists within their companies—
especially the more subtle mani-
festations."
This pattern of management
dscrimination in the utilities
runs counter to other general
trends in American industry
which "has been showing an in-
creasing awareness of responsi-
bility to the welfare of the en-
tire community." Sonnabend
pointed particularly to "the
field of education wher e,
through scholarships, grants,
and various forms of aid, Amer-
ican industry has opened up
vast new educational oppor-
tunities for U.S. youth."
The committee president set
forth a number of major pro-
posals on the basis of prelim-
inary committee investigations
which, he said, would help in
exploring the dimensions of the
problem. He urged that the util-
ities undertake a series of steps
toward eliminating patterns of
discriminatory behavior:
1. To enlarge the existing
body of knowledge about mi-
nority groups in management,
and the handicaps they face
in promotion on merit.
2. To develop an educational
program on the detrimental
effect of barriers to the free
flow of talent.
3. To initiate educational
programs which would stim-

ulate the interest of minority
groups in the expected oppor-
tunities in the utilities field at
at all levels.
Sonnabend said that the com-
mittee, as well as educational
and research groups "would be
certain to be available to the
uutilities management in de-
veloping programs which would
lower the barriers and encour-
age the free flow of managerial
skills.'
The committee has been spon-
soring and cooperating with
three major studies underway,
for the past two years, at Har-
vard, the University of Mich-
igan, and tae University of
California, at Los Angeles.
These studies are probing bar-
riers on the executive level
both .at recruitment points and
within the industries.
The committee has initiated
these studies because of the
fact that "during the past
decade, management personnel
employed at 500 of the largest
American corporations, has in-
creased by 45 per cent. This is
almost three times the ratio of
all other personnel increases.
"The demand for manage-
ment personnel, it is expected,
will remain on the same high
ratio during the next ten years,
and the extent to which this
demand is satisfied, generally,
will influence the extent to
which the nation's economy can
grow."
Sonnabend cited a recent re-
port of the U.S. Department of
Labor which said that "the
number of mangerial positions
in private industry, which will
have to be filled, can be ex-
pected to reach 150,000 or more,
per year, during the period
1964 to 1970."

Bratzlaver Hassidim
Report Courteous
Reception in Russia

-
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
mayor of Uman, Ukrainia, per-
sonally escorted a group of 11
Hassidic Jews from Brooklyn to
the tomb of the Bratzlaver
Rebbe, which they had received
special permission to visit, the
leader of the group reported
here.
Rabbi Leon Rosenfeld, leader
of the Bratzlaver sect in Brook-
lyn. said he and his 10 followers
conducted rites at the tomb in
Uman of Rabbi Nachman of
Bratzlav, who died in 1810, and
who is revered as one of the
great 18th century leaders of
the movement in Eastern Europe.
The mayor and his deputy led
the group to the tomb and
watched the rites. The mayor
then invited the group to an
official banquet at the town's
hotel. The Hassidim accepted
the invitation, but ate the kosher
food they had brought with them.
Rabbi Rosenfeld said his group
had been impressed by the cour-
tesy and interest shown by the
Soviet officials. When the group
arrived at the hotel, the street
was filled with persons who
wanted to see the American
visitors in Uman, the rabbi said.
The 11 visitors were allowed to
stay in Uman only one day,
however.

Stops Itch—Relieves Pain

For the first time science has found
a new healing substance with the as-
tonishing ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids and to relieve pain without
surgery. In case after case, while
gently relieving pain, actual reduc-
tion (shrinkage) took place. Most
amazing of all — results were 3o thor-
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like "Piles have ceased to
be a problem!" The secret is a new
healing substance (Bio-Dyne®)— dis-
