were given a “me matum Monday.

The workers, some veterans of 30 years and more with the road, were confronted with a locked door and a printed notice when they reported for work at the accounting office here.

The legal, treasury, purchasing and passenger 1 traffic departments were switch- | ed to Texas in an earlier move without official notice.

Forty Plus Group Fights Age Barriers of Industry

Spcrial to Central Press Association \V WASHINGTON—Two sparsely furnished rooms in an office VY building three blocks from the White House are the launching site for one of the liveliest battles now being waged in the nationwide drive against age barriers in American industry*. Every Monday morning, a couple of dozen men, ranging in age from 40 to 70, drop in for a two-hour session in which to match their proven abilities and job qualifications against younger competition for the increasing flow of professional and executive employment offerings from government agencies and private industry searching for

“experience.”

These are active members of Forty Plus of Washington, one of 19 similar organizations throughout the United States, which describes itself as “a non-profit association of upper level executive and professional men over 49 years of age with mature experience and abilities, and with good records in responsible positions, who have combined in a group effort to secure em-

ployment.”

At a recent weekly meeting, the tun -out included two retired admirals and a full commander of the Navy, a retired Army colonel, a couple of

veteran big-time newspaper editors, half a dozen engineers, and

several personnel and public relations specialists.

Virtually all of these men were unemployed as the result of business mergers, reductions in force, or mandatory old-age retirement; and all of them were far too active mentally and physically to pas-

sively* accept being placed “on the shelf.'’

* * * *

THE BATTING AVERAGE of the 'Washington group for 1956 was about 92 per cent, with 90 placements as again :t 97 new memberships. During the first two months of 1957, accor.iing to a survey, the demand for executives was high, but a temporary economy wave was responsible for cutting placements to 13 as against 22

new memberships.

The chairman of the club’s placement commit’ee says the continuous contact maintained with interested employers throughout the country indicates that the slack will be taken up in the spring resurgence of employment. One of the 13 who went back to a full-time job was a 76-year-oId newspaperman and editorial consultant, who qualified for an executive position with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and, according to latest reports, is now a valued member of

the staff.

Other Forty Plus men have gone to the departments of State, Defense, Commerce and Labor, as well as to Washington department stores, hotels, banks, and to George, Washing'*i university. At least 10 states and three foreign countries (Tnadand, Costa Rica and Ecuador) have found openings for members of the Washington organization. • * * » “YOU MAY IMAGINE,” says President John T. Gibbs of Forty Plus of Washington, “the thrii! we get out of signing up a new member who may be discouraged by Actually the ‘Over Forty’ bar to employment and needs j j i nothing in the world so much as the reassurance Needed in that he still is not only employable, but is actually Economy needed in our American free economy. “We immediately put him to work two days a week here at Forty Plus headquarters—where we have no paid office help—and he soon finds himself drawn back into a center of useful activity. “There is little time for worrying about his personal predicament —least of all when a call comes from an employer who has read his career resume and wants to meet him!”
