Kimsey, who asked . clar.f ca tion of the act, passed by the 1949 legislature.

Kimsey asked if these ques tions were lawful under the act- "No 1. Where were you born? "No 2. If foreign Dorn, are you now a naturalized citizen of the United States, and, if from what date? "No 3. If an alien or person with first citizenship papers, pre sent registration card. All Prohibited ... ,, Neuner said his opinion is that all three questions are prohib ited unde? the act. Question No 1 he said, should not be asked in any form. But ques tions 2 and 3 can be reworded "to elicit such information as the employer may require. Neuner suggested that these be re "No.!' Are you a citizen of the United States? No 3. If not a citizen of the United States, do you intend to become such citizen? "No. 3a. If you are not a citi zen of the United States, have you a legal right to remain m the United States? Do you in tend to remain permanently in the United States?" Noting that the act defines "national origin" t include an-, cestry, Neuner said a n o th r question, "What are the names , and addresses of your parents, j should be altered: "What are the names of your ! parents? Give their addresses if ' within the United States." May Check Record Ai for the need of an employ-1 er to ascertain the Identity and record of an applicant who may I have been employed under dif ferent name by various em- j ployers, Neuner said: I "It im nttr nninlnn that nnfhlnff ! . . prevents an employer iruiu ascertaining whether or not an applicant has been convicted of crime, served a penitentiary sentence, worked or sought em ployment under an other name, or been discharged by an em ployer for any cause that the inquirer lawfully may list. All that the fair employment prac tices act prohibits is discrimina tion, including that implied in specification or limitation, against any applicant for em ployment, because of hace, color, creed or national origin." Political Refuge For Czech Undecided Washington, May 18 tU.Rl U. S. officials said today that it would be some time before Presi dent Truman decides whether the United States should give politi cal refuge to Dr. Vladimir Hou dek, former top Czech delegate to the United Nations. Houdek quit his post yesterday with a charge that Russia has de stroyed his country's freedom. He sent Mr. Truman a letter asking for political asylum in this coun try for himself, his wife and their two daughters. Under normal circumstances, the United States has granted asylum to refugees from "iron curtain" nations. But officials pointed out that Houdek did not renounce communi&m and that his admission into this country is opposed by former Czech Am bassador Jura Slavik Slavik, a refugee himself, ad vised the state department yes terday to turn down Houdek's request.
