Judge Lauds Civic Group For Aiding Area Recreation

WASHINGTON-(ANP) The Federation of Civic Associations was praised last week by Judge Scovel Richardson of the United States Customs Court, for helping increase community recreation facilities and for reducing job discrimination. The praise came in the principle address delivered at the Federation's annual awards dinner held in the Grand Ballroom of the Willard Hotel, Thursday evening. Aaron Goldman, president of the G. B. Macke Corp., was honored by the Federation for "meritorious contributions to community progress" in working against job discrimination. Goldman was described by some as a "missionary worker" among businessmen in an effort to convert them to lower the racial bars in employment. He is said to work very closely with the Urban League in this fight to wipe out bias in employment.
