Commission Plans Probe NEW YORK (AIM Business men trying to raise nlficc tone with prim and proper English secretaries had better watch their step. Seeking a posh note for the premises in this way is highly il legal in New York State, the Stale Commission Against Discrimina tion said Friday. The commission announced it would investigate reports that a new fad "hire English" was mushrooming in executive suites. "These executives," said the commission, "arc said to be re questing English secretaries be cause they are believed to be more efficient than American girls and also because their ac cents lend chic to American busi ness firms." The commission has nothing against ability or the Queen's Eng lish. It merely points to the legal fine print which says that a pros pective employer who specifics race, creed or color or national origin when he wants to hire is violating stale law. First on the commission's list for scrutiny are two employment agencies the Austin Executive Personnel Agency of Queens and Vera Sugg, American representa tive of the Graydon Bureau, an English agency. Austin's owner, David L. Wex ler, freely admits to hiring Eng lish secretaries. "Is there a demand for English secretaries here?" he asked. "Sure. The English girl has a little more respect for the job. The Eng lish secretary has been trained to be courteous to the caller. It's nor ma! to them and it's not normal to a lot of Americans." And, added Wexler, "You won't find a gum-chower among the English girls either." LOOT FI.IES BACK FORT WORTH. Tex.
