COURT DECISION
Cont’d from page 1
deficiency has been corrected.
Other highlights of the
decree include eliminating the
requirement of a high school
diploma or its equivalent for
hiring, transferring, or
promoting Black employes
and banning the use ot
employment tests that have
not been validated as job
related.
The J ustice Department
filed the suit on January 10,
1969. The District Court ruled
on September 27, 1971, after a
week-long trial that Georgia
Power had engaged in racial
discrimination but declined to
award back pay or bar the
company s testing
requirements. Both sides
appealed the decision.
On February 14, 1973, the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of
the government on the back
pay and testing issues and
remanded the case to the
District Court to determine the
amount of back pay and other
relief. Today’s decree
implements that decision.

Saturday session, which will
