in the eyes of New York City of- I
ficials, although city and state 11
laws allow for penalties which Q
could include dismissal or suspen- |
sion,
This was the conclusion reach- 1
ed this week as the Mayor’s of- ha
fice and the Commission for Hu- na
man Rights officially marked as
"closed,” the case of Deputy 111
Commerce Commissioner Anne
M. Kelly who had specified that J
she wanted a “white secretary” to

ment Service. -
.
Mayor Wagner, in a statement f
Issued Friday, said that after
studying the report of CCHR: .
“Its conclusion was inescapable. ^u<
She had erred, and in the com-
mon phrase, she really goofed.” l7C
While the city officials agreed u_
with the earlier State Commis- j_,
sion for Human Rights report that
Miss Kelly had committed an er
ror of judgment, they let her off .
lightly, announcing that she will .
keep her $14,000-a-year job, but,
will be deprived of any future 7ai
hiring for the office, and was giv- c
en an official “admonishment” m}

In a"prepared statement Issued fr
1 I years, and knew her to be racial- |
from City Hall the Mayor said m
that he had known Miss Kelly,
I his personal secretary for 13 -
ly unbiased, and without motives _
|
for discrimination.
The Commission on Human
Rights, although not making a
recommendation on what action P
should be taken against Miss Kel- A
ly, found that there could be lit- nr
tie doubt she had made a discrim- ~
f'inatory request, adding that “this t<
should not have been done in the d<
light of city and state laws
'against discrimination.’’

As an extenuating circumstance bj

John H. Young, who filed 7,032
signatures seeking the Democra
tic nomination for Councilman
At-Large in Manhattan, charged
this week that the failure of the
Democratic Party to designate a
Negro for one of the five new
posts, one from each borough
was not only “a ridiculous situ
ation, but de facto disfranchise
ment.”
Noting that neither the Repub
licans or the Democrats had des
ignated a Negro or Puerto Rican
for any of the 10 vacancies,
Young said that if he is not
elected, the Council would be
adding ten new seats, increasing
its membership to 35, but keep
ing only two Negroes.
Young, who obtained support
of all of the Harlem leaders but
incumbent Councilman J. Ray
mond Jones, had members of
his campaign committee picket
ing Chatham Hall Monday de
manding that Paul O’Dwyer, the
regular party designee, be with
drawn and a Negro replace him.
The pickets later demonstrated
in front of Jones’ club at 1723
Amsterdam Ave.

Dear Mr. Hall:
• My family and I wish to express the utmost satis
faction to Unity and staff. We would like to thank Mr.
Charles A. Paterson, Funeral Director, for his warm and
considerate respect which made everything so very easy
and uncomplicated.
Everything was so lovely and satisfactory I really
cannot find the words to express exactly how I feel
towards Unity and their staff. Everyone was so nice and
concerned.
—
So, If I sound a little overwhelmed It Is because I am
so thankful that I put everything in your hands. I was
not disappointed in the smallest detail.
I accept your services as a personal contribution to
the deceased and family.
Again, I express my heartfelt thanks.
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. M. Martin and family
