PERSONNEL BOARD

CITY HALL ANNEX
260 CENTRAL AVENUE, 5. W,

Director May 24, 1967
MEMORANDUM
TO: . Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.

FROM: General Carl T. Sutherland

Re your inguiry concerning the status of the application of
Mr. Steers Johnson who is seeking employment in the City's
Civil Defense Department:

The Civil Defense Department personnel are under the State
Merit System.

It just happens that I remember Mr. Johnson who was an ap-
plicant 4% years ago during the time that I was Acting Civil
Defense Director. It is my understanding that he contin-
uously has sought employment with General Woodward since
that time but that General Woodward feels that he does not
meet his requirements. General Woodward has expressed the
desire to employ a qualified Negro in his department, but
he thinks that Johnson is not properly qualified.

Sincerely,

CARL T. SUTHERLAND
Director of Personnel
