SUTHERLAND May 24, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. FROM: General Carl T. Sutherland Re your inquiry concerning the status of the application of Mr. Steers Johnson who is seeking employment in the City rs 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 applicant 4½ years ago during the time that I was Acting Civil Defense Director. It is my understanding that he continuously has sought employment with General Woodward since that time but that General Woodward fee ls 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 CTS:cbt �
