Released March 22, 1968: A Negro workman today asked the U.S. District Court in Houston to grant a permanent injunction enjoining the Rohm-Haas Chemical Co. from continuing to maintain policies and practices which prevent Negroes from transferring to higher paying and more desirable jobs by means of a test which LDF attorneys allege is "not professionally developed" and which was not given to white employees. Plaintiff Felix Barnaba, acting in behalf of himself and other Negroes, also charges that racially segregated departments are maintained by Rohm-Haas which limit Negroes to "lower paying and less desirable jobs" and prevent their transfer and promotion to higher paying jobs. Mr. Barnaba, through attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), charges that Rohm-Haas maintains a seniority system which also limits Negroes to "lower paying and less desirable jobs" in racially segregated departments. =30- TO: AP, UPI - Houston
