Antibias group opposes board A majority of the Allentown Human Relations Commission objected yesterday to plans for a citizens advisory board as part of the city's new affirmative action policy. The policy, recently approved by city officials, is being distributed to department heads. The citizens board would secure community input for Mayor Joseph Daddona and assist in planning, developing and implementing minority hiring programs. Commission members agreed they have a sufficient mix of minority representation to meet the intent of the advisory board.

They agreed with Ralph Kressley who explained that the creation of another board, in addition to the proposed affirmative action review board, would slow necessary action. The city's minority hiring policies came under fire in July 1974 when the Allentown Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People charged that its minority hiring policies were biased. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is investigating the charges. The commission voted to close a race discrimination case brought by Angela X. Blanks formerly of Bethlehem.

Ms. Blanks had charged that she was harassed constantly and denied a raise after six months employment at Lehigh Portland Cement Allentown. The commission report found there was no cause for the complaint. KEYSTONE MEMORIALS WINTER PERMA.
