Employer May Not Ask Prospective
Worker Place of Birth, Neuner Says
Salem Ore., May 18 J.Rr
An employer, under Oregon s
fair trade practice act, may not
ask a prospective employee
where has was born, Attorney
General George Neuner laid
t0Neuner wrote the opinion for
State Labor Commissioner w. t.
Kimsey, who asked . clar.f ca
tion of the act, passed by the
1949 legislature.
Inquiry Unlawful
'"r ht It shall
ine oti .uv."" - -be
unlawful for an employer to
make any i nq u 1; t y wh ch ex
presses directly or Indirectly any
fimitation specification oH
crimination as to race, religion,
color or national origin i. . . un
less based upon a bona fide
occupational qualification.
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.
