Discrimination in employ

reduced greatly in the past 10
years. the executive director of
the Commissioners Council on
Human Relations said last
night.
David A. Sawyer. addressing
the 7l-man graduating class of

are times when the American.
Negro may feel that prejudice
is standing in the way of job
or promotion. discrimination
in employment will become less

Mr.. Sawyer appealed ito
each and everyone to avoid
the pitfalls of elf-pity and the
self-indulgent explanations for
your own lack of effort"
He noted that many city
governments have set up agen-
cies to insure job opportunities
for every qualified applicant
regardless Of religion. color or
race. The District makes every
firm doing business with it sign
q contract agreeing that there
will be no discrimination
against employees or job appli-
cants, he said.
Mr.. Sawyer described Wash
ington as "a community which
in 10 years has shifted from
q community in which Negro
men and women met discrimi-
nation at every turn in life &.
to a community where we
have wonderful schools and
access to the books and facil-
tiles that will help us to learn
more"

his early purpose of taking the

Apart from denouncing the
